First Dance ⚜ video ⚜ filtered to Cosmos' faction

[nomeremaid]

[This feed is neither accidental nor ill-set up- in fact, it's timed, focusing just as a pair of small feet covered in black Mary-Janes do an artful pivot, glove-covered hands raising the sides of a rather long skirt in a curtsy.]

Greetings to all of you- allow me to introduce myself-

[After the multitude of accidental transmissions -of which Terra herself is guilty- the polite and precise video is refreshing. Terra smiles.]

Hello. I'm Terra Branford. It's nice to meet you. I can't claim to know everything about this place and what's happening, but I'll be happy to provide whatever answers I can. Please, don't hestiate to ask away.

[Fabiola sweeps her skirts out again in another curtsy of greeting.]

A pleasure, Miss Branford. I believe that, quite understandably, my primary concern at the moment is accommodations. Surely there is someplace we are to stay other than these open fields? It would be rather counterproductive to have us out in the open and so easy to ambush, would it not?

[She's a little surprised by that, but readily explains.]

Along the sides, there are little crystals. They're different than the ones that take you from realm to realm. When you reach them, they'll transport you to a room. Food is served there, too. You'll have to use the same one to get to the same room each time.

[There's an understanding, faintly sheepish, smile.]

It took me a while to figure out all this, too.

[Fabiola tilts her head off to the side, and- once she spots the crystals- turns back to Terra curiously.]

I see- are there ones we are assigned, or are we simply meant to pick one at random?

[She blinks at the smile- but offers a hesitant one of her own.]

It is all... very disconcerting, yes. I am quite grateful for your assistance, Miss Branford.

[Ammy has not been listening at all. At all. She's just watching-- more like staring open-jawed at the pretty, pretty girl on the screen. And she is so impressive too!]

[And have a curious blink as Fabiola peers closer to the surface of the crystal, a hand to her chin curiously. Headtilt. Blinkbkink.]

...a wolf?

[nomeremaid]

How very odd...

[This is Fabiola's thinking face. Give her a second to wonder why there's such a friendly-looking wolf answering the cryta--

Oh. There it is.]

War is a better way of putting it.

[--but then it's right back, and Fabiola peers back at him impassively.]

The words are similar enough, in the right context, sir. However, if it is war you wish to call it, then very well.

It hasn't changed from the first time.

unfiltered because Rebecca is too trusting

[notyourdollface]

Nice to meet you! My name's Rebecca Chambers. I dunno what's really going on either, though. But all the crystals are really pretty~ even if we are expected to fight.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Ohhhh dear

[nomeremaid]

A pleasure, Miss Chambers.

[A vaguely amused look- though on the inside, she's startled a girl like this would be fighting.]

You do not think what is a good idea, Miss?

granted it's justified because she just met a cannonmate on the other side

[notyourdollface]

Likewise!

Fighting, of course. Nothing good comes out of it, most times.

ooooo, I see

[nomeremaid]

Of course not- however, I sincerely doubt we will be left with much recourse in such a situation... though perhaps there might be one or two on the other side we may be able to reason with...
