First Arcana - [audio to video]

[foolette]

This is the strangest-- well one of the strangest things I've ever seen! I never thought I would see a megaphone sprout out of vine like this!

I wonder if... [she speaks softly to the vine, asking for some way to show herself to those who are listening]

[and then there's a bright smile of a young girl]Oh! I guess everyone can see me now right?

How did we get here? Nobody really knows the details.

[video]

[foolette]

Really? Nobody knows?

Maybe someone doesn't want to say?

[video]

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, there's no doubt about that.

How? Well, everyone keeps saying 'kidnapped'..

[foolette]

Kidnapped? This doesn't seem like an average kidnapping if that's the case.

[airof]

I don't think it is- since it's a queen who did it. And well we're kinda stuck.

I'm afraid you know as much as anyone about that. The only ones who know how we got here brought us here, and telling you what you need to know isn't exactly their thing.

On the bright side, though, they have Kitten War.

[foolette]

So they're keeping quiet? Surely if they brought us here for a reason they should let us know why at least. [she sighs]

Kitten War? They have the internet here?

[that_one_guitar]

Maybe. Maybe they aren't saying because there is no reason. There's more to this place, obviously. The lack of men springs to mind. Still, that's pretty much the gist of it.

...Sort of. It only gets two or three web sites.

I'm quite sure that the Queen of Hearts is the one behind us all being here, though I have to admit that I don't know how she does it - especially considering she's dragged us all into these Gardens from so many different worlds. What I really want to know is why we're here; she claims that it's important to here, but she's being incredibly tight-lipped about it. [She frowns as she says this.]

Anyway, the bad news is that we've got no way of getting back to our own worlds so far. It's still something I'm looking into, because I for one need to get back to my world as soon as I can.

[She narrows her eyes for a second as she thinks of her important mission once again, before her expression relaxes for the sake of an introduction.]

The name's Maria Traydor, by the way.

[foolette]

[she nods, a determined look on her face] I know how it is. I need to get back too, it's pretty urgent.

Still, I can't see what would be so important to bring people from other worlds here. I hope she explains herself.

It's nice to meet you, Maria-san. If I find anything on getting back I'll let you know right away!

[video]

[quarkleader]

I can't see her explaining anything anytime soon, with the way she's been so far. With that being the case, I'm left with no choice but to investigate things for myself. [She's looking similarly determined now.] I will find my answers, no matter what it takes.

Thanks, Minako; I appreciate all the help I can get. I'll pass on anything I find out as well.

Minako? My name is Ibis.

[foolette]

Hi there Ibis-san.

Do you know anything about this place?

[morelikemeteor]

I know that it's really weird and no place on Earth.
