[When the Vine turns on, the first thing everyone is treated to the sight of is a pair of...legs? Upside down, stocking-clad legs, at that. Apparently, their owner is lying on her back, legs bent at the knee. Idly, she reaches up and tugs one of her stockings up slightly, rolling the fabric between her fingers for a moment before letting it snap

Where are you? You'd better not be getting into trouble, Nue!

[undefines]

[She giggles and pokes her tongue out.] Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. It's not really the kind of trouble that's any of your business, though!

And if you want to know where I am... Well, you'll just have to find me on your own! Think you can do that?

[is_a_good_girl]

Ugh... Fine. At least give me a clue, won't you?

[undefines]

Oh, you want to play easy mode? Well, I guess it's not my pride on the line. [She hums out a playful little "hm~" as she tries to think up a clue.] Well... Where's the first place you wanted to go after we showed up here? ...Besides home, of course.

[It's a hint that makes it a little too easy to figure out she is in the Orchard, but truth be told, she wants to be found.]

video; easy listening

[existwithoutme]

It is rather consistently dull here? [Kuja is feeling rather relaxed, and so, more social.] What kind of entertainment did you have in mind?

[undefines]

It's really dull! Super dull! [She keeps grinning even as she laments, though, her feet swinging back and forth through the air behind her.] I dunno, I was thinking some interesting company might be nice-especially if it's from a beautiful lady like you.

[It's not just empty flattery. She really does think Kuja is striking. She just...wouldn't normally be so open about it.]

[existwithoutme]

[Kuja takes it for granted that people would think her beautiful, not that she isn't pleased by this sensible acknowledgment of her beauty, as she does respond well to flattery. She smiles.]

I wouldn't be adverse to some company myself, if you'd like. It might liven up this dull domain, if only temporarily.

[undefines]

Well, I'm not about to say no! Where can I find you?

[After all, it would be rude to make such a suggestion and then expect Kuja to come to her.]

[shanghaiworld]

[As Alice has only seen one good look at Nue, and barely heard her, she doesn't recognize at first.]

And just what kind of fun are you looking for?

[undefines]

[Has Nue seen you before, Alice? You look kind of familiar... (She probably didn't pay as much attention as she should have when she let Sanae field those Vine replies.) Oh, well! Familiar or not, Nue will be just as friendly to Alice as she would anyone else.]

Hm hm, do I know you? I'd think I would remember a cutie like you, but I'm drawing a blank!

[And by "friendly," I mean "horrible."]

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, I don't think we've talked yet, but I did see you show up with a shrine maiden with green hair. But I am Alice Margatroid, youkai magician and someone who has been stuck here for far too long.

And... thanks?

[undefines]

Oh, that's right! You must be one of the other people Sanae talked to. Silly me, how could I forget~.

You're welcome. But you must get that all the time, right?

[soapscent]

[In theory Jolyne's eyebrows could be higher right about now. In practice? Not so much.]

What...kind of fun have you got in mind, exactly?

[undefines]

[She giggles at the expression on Jolyne's face.]

I'd tell you, but it looks like you already have an idea!

[soapscent]

That's kind of...

[Ugh, she doesn't want to say 'forward', she'd sound like her grandfather.]

I mean, this is kinda public. There's kids on this thing and everything.

[undefines]

If they're old enough to realize what I'm talking about, it's not gonna hurt them.
