[When she woke up, there was a small animal with a stick in its mouth, sitting and looking at her as if it was waiting for something. She lay there wide-eyed for a long moment, because it had no wings and she had never seen its like, but it did nothing unpleasant. Eventually, it set down the stick and trotted away

[what in the]

Gardens. Kidnapped. Do not really know why.

No boys here. None. All girls.

[She flinches in surprise when symbols begin to appear on the scroll, stepping back - but curiosity overcomes her and she leans close again to peer at them. Some of them are unfamiliar.]

garden?

why no boy

[notvitiligo]

Do not know why. Because the Queen does not want boys here.

Can you talk? I can find you and try to explain what we know.

[white_doves_fly]

[She sees that word and freezes, recoiling from the scroll for a moment - then writes frantically.]

[These symbols look different. Also, she cannot identify any of them, except the word "dark". She tilts her head, wondering if there is more than one spirit in this plant.]

what

[heretolookhot]

Exactly. Learn to use people-speak.

Sacrifice is not the way.

I don't know anything about horned boys or castles.

This place is called The Gardens.

I don't know why. I want to know.

I am Alfimi. What's your name?

[white_doves_fly]

no sacrifice

[She pauses, trying to piece something understandable out of the rest. She guesses at the last line.]

name yorda

[alchemistsquery]

Nice to meet you, Yorda.

Are you having trouble writing? You can use voice if you need to. I only know how to write because of memories.

[not_as_special]

We all want to know why.

[white_doves_fly]

[She frowns at that sentence. It looks important, so she guesses again.]

why here?

[not_as_special]

I don't know. I wish I did.

Cass?

Okay.

You're probably not Cassandra, all things considered, but let the record show that my hopes have not been up this much in like a year.

...aww. ^^;

[white_doves_fly]

[So many symbols. She feels a little dizzy.]

cassandra?

[gravityfists]

Didn't think so.

Cassandra's my friend. Who're you? Would talking be easier than writing?

[white_doves_fly]
