1st Firefly - [Action/Accidental Video]

[presumablyalone]

[In the lake closest to the village, a boy can be seen laying half in the water and half on the grass, passed out.  Though it takes him a while, he finally opens his blue-purple eyes and looks around sleepily.]  Where....am I...?

[After a moment, Seto realizes he's in the water and hoists himself up all the way out of the water and sits on the grass

[There's a tap on the journal as Terra makes sure he didn't accidentally turn off the voice function. Some of the New Feathers were adjusting well enough, but this kid already sounds like a nervous wreck.]

Don't worry. You're not alone.

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

[The tap and voice is enough to make Seto jump and look around quickly for the source of the voice but there's no one to be seen. Another ghost maybe..? At least this ghost person said he isn't alone, so that must mean survivors are near by!]

Thank goodness...um w-where are you?

[voice]

[erodingearth]

[...Oh. That's right, he probably hadn't seen the journal yet. Like him.]

There should be a book near you. We're talking through that.

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

A book... [Give him a second. He spots it and picks it up, where did this thing come from. It certainly isn't something he's seen before]

...You're not a robot..are you?

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

If you didn't fall off a dam, then you're probably not dead.

[Voice]

[presumablyalone]

[Oh good lord, that random voice scared him. He takes a look around to find the voice but can't seem to see anyone...is this guy a ghost?]

T-Then how did I get here? And why do I have wings...?

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

Everyone has wings here.

They're what you might call compulsory.

[Voice]

[presumablyalone]

Everyone? There are people here?? Or ghosts..?

[You're starting to sound like his grandfather] Compulsory..?

[voice]

[fideliter]

[ Oh. Oh no. This boy doesn't seem to be in the best of shape, and Ange doesn't like seeing him like this, whether he's a stranger or not. She can definitely tell he's new, though.

So she makes sure to reply to him, calmly and gently, almost like a mother. ]

It is all right, you are not alone.

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

[Even though the voice is comforting, it still startles him. He scans the forest but is unable to see anyone...is this girl like Sai? But she just said he's not alone so that means...]

I-I'm not..? Then...there are other people here?

[voice]

[fideliter]

Yes, there are many of them. [ A pause. ] Could you describe your surroundings for me?

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

So...I'm close to the survivors?? [He pauses and looks around] All I see are trees...I'm sitting right next to a lake and there's a river that's connected to it.

[action]

[forestpride]

[oh, great. More new ones. ...And this one seems particularly...emotional]

There's no reason to act like that.

[action]

[presumablyalone]

[He jumps at the sound of someone talking to him and looks around quickly, rubbing his eyes]

I-I...I'm sorry...

[action]

[forestpride]

Are you injured?

[action]

[presumablyalone]

No...b-but these wings...they hurt..

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

Hello? You're not dead or alone. I can help, if you let me.

[Voice]

[presumablyalone]

[Though she reassures him that he's not dead or alone, he still jumps at the voice.]

P-Please help me...

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

Don't worry, I will. I see you're near one of the lakes. I'll start looking for you, okay?

[Voice]

[presumablyalone]

[He nods, not knowing how this person even knows where he is or why they have to look for him if she already knows but he nods]

O-Okay...Thank you...
