[A serious-faced young woman appears on the vine. She doesn't appear to have had a problem grasping the mirror as the means of communication, but she does look irritated. She's also changed out of the newcomer's shift and back into her own clothes, which appear to be an old-fashioned English school uniform.]Well, I must say, I did rather enjoy

While your devotion to your team is commendable, it's only fair to tell you upfront that they'll never notice you've been missing. It's a trick of time, being here. We're not quite sure how it works.

[She considers that for a moment, seems to accept it, and sighs.]

Well I suppose that's one less thing to worry about, in any case, though I can't say I'm very relieved.

I take it you've been brought here against your will as well then?

[welljustwatchme]

Yes. Twice, now. Which is why I can guarantee that when you're finally allowed to leave, you go right back to where you were.

[onvelvetpaws]

Only to be snatched right back again, if you say this is your second time.

Though I can take small comfort in the fact that the team won't have to suffer my replacement's ham-fisted antics.

[peachhat]

Not letting you go back, sorry there. You'd have to defeat me to be let out of this place, and alas, since you're just an earth-crawling human, that'd not happen within the next few centuries.

[onvelvetpaws]

Is that the truth? I may be human, but I'm hardly defenceless.

[peachhat]

Of course it is the truth, why would I lie about it?

I don't really see you as particularly dangerous though. What are you? A shrine maiden? Witch? Some silly human aspiring to become a youkai, or something?

[onvelvetpaws]

[How much does she know. :|]

Listen; I've no quarrel with you. I endeavour to treat all beings with the proper respect, and in return I ask only that the same respect be granted to me. Let me go peacefully and we shan't have to fight.

(with apologies for the late tag)

[Reeve appears in the mirror, smiling, pushing a stray lock of her hair behind one ear. Having been a precocious, responsible schoolgirl once herself, she has a soft spot for the new arrival.]

Yes, the cats are quite nice, aren't they? Helpful, too.
I wish I could say the same for the Queen, but I'm afraid that you're probably here for a while at least. There's really no discernible pattern when it comes to being returned to one's proper environment.

Until then, it's probably best you make yourself as comfortable as you can! Of course, I'll be happy to do whatever I can to help. I've been here for a little while now.
My name's Reeve, by the way. Reeve Tuesti-- and what do you call yourself?

(no problem!)

[onvelvetpaws]

Nice, certainly, though not as helpful as they could be. I am grateful for the scrolls I suppose, if I really am to be stuck here.

I'm called Minerva. Minerva McGonagall. And I suppose the most sensible thing to do would be to inquire about living arrangements for those who happen to be called here.

[urbanwonderland]

Well, Minerva, you're really spoiled for choice when it comes to dwellings. Of course, you'll probably want to meet your potential housemates first-- but there are single apartments as well, if that would suit you better!

I've built my own place, where I live with a friend-- I'm an urban engineer, an architect, in my own universe. Judging by the uniform, I'm guessing you're a student! What's your course of study, if you're feeling up to sharing?

[onvelvetpaws]

Then at least I shall have a roof over my head, and company as well. Thank heavens for small miracles.

I suppose one could say I'm a student of the physical sciences.
