[Duck peers into the comm, blue eyes huge and freckled nose wrinkled with curiosity.]

I don't get it. It looks like a music box, but... the lady in the big room said it's for me to talk to people. I wonder if it's like the mechanical piano in the ballet studio... except that just makes the piano play stuff that's already been put into the record. ( Read more... )

[Duck...! That sounds really familiar, but where did she hear that before? It'll nag at her brain until she figures it out, too.]

It's okay, calm down. You're in The City. It's a little hard to digest right now, and I don't want to scare you more, but I don't think you're going to be going back to your home for a while.

pas_de_ducks May 21 2010, 03:57:12 UTC

I--I'm not scared, really! [See Duck. See Duck attempt cheerful bravery. Fail, Duck, fail!] I've just--never traveled like that before.

Um. The city of what, exactly?

[Anzu gives her a reassuring smile--she knows what it's like to first show up and not know what was going on. So maybe someone friendly will help?] I understand that. When I first came, I felt the same as you.

[A pause. Anzu tucks some hair behind her ear.]

They just call it "The City". It looks a lot like a city where I'm from, actually, though I've never heard anyone call this place by any actual name.

[Okay, that friendliness is putting Duck a lot more at ease, and she manages a genuine if wobbly smile.]

So... just the City, then. That's weird. But I guess it's kind of like in a fairy tale where the kingdom is just called "the kingdom". You'd think all those countries would have names...

Duck? Is that really...?

2/2 video easyopentabs May 21 2010, 03:56:09 UTC

Where have you been? Mytho's been looking for you, you know?

1/2 video pas_de_ducks May 21 2010, 03:57:58 UTC

Hey, that's--

2/2 video pas_de_ducks May 21 2010, 03:59:14 UTC

Rue! I'm so glad to see you're okay! [She hugs the lamp tight, as if it's a substitute for her friend.] Wait, so--you're here, and Mytho's here too? He was back in Gold Crown Town earlier today...

easyopentabs May 21 2010, 04:01:27 UTC

What? No he was-- Duck, what is the last time you remember seeing me before coming here?

[[All you're getting is a feed of this face, duckie.]]

F-Fakir?? You can see me??

insourarmor May 21 2010, 04:08:50 UTC

[[He hastily composes himself and stands - he'd been seated at his desk before]] Yeah. I can see you. Show me where you are.

pas_de_ducks May 21 2010, 04:11:56 UTC

Um--how? Do I just turn the box? And what do I do with this necklace the lady gave me? I've already got one pendant I can't take off...

Duck? Probably doesn't . . . My name is Ryan, I'm friends with Fakir and Mytho. It's not a music box, although what it actually is is a little difficult to explain and it would probably be better to have Fakir do it.

Just know that . . . Know that I'm you're friend.

Ryan, huh? Well--it's nice to meet you, Ryan!

[Pulls a sudden face. nyan~] I guess if you know Fakir, then you know how grumpy he can be about explaining things.

[voice] yayashton May 21 2010, 20:41:49 UTC

He's grumpy about everything, but he's pretty good about explaining things when he has to.

[voice] pas_de_ducks May 21 2010, 21:56:48 UTC

Yeah, I guess that's true... still, I wish he wasn't so blunt all the time. And I wish he'd forget the word "pointless".
