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?

Hi Minako! I'm Utsuho. We all got kidnapped by, um... anchors, I think.

[foolette]

Hi Utsuho-san.

Um...anchors? What kind of anchors?

[video]

[uraniumtea]

Ah... hm. I don't remember well. Oh, but they can't be killed or it'll destroy everything! Which is pretty frustrating... If anyone deserves to be vaporized, it's a mass kidnapper!

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Arisato. I am Yukari Yakumo.

It's hard to say how we got here; we might have came through a dream, but we are here for real.

[foolette]

It's a pleasure to meet you too Yukari-san.

I've been to strange places in my dreams before, but I never thought I'd be pulled into another world by one.

[border_phantasm]

Dreams are odd things.

Still this world is an odd one in an of itself.

[falterderleere]

And I am Grell Sutcliffe, Miss Arisato.

What are you particularly wanting to know more about?

[foolette]

Hello Grell-San.

Well, I would like to know more about this place, or at least what you know of it. Even just the smallest amount of information would be useful. Others have said they don't really know how we got here and why though.

[falterderleere]

Well, that being out of the way...

There are various areas in the Gardens, for food, shelter, and other things like a library. It is possible to create your own area, provided you get the right materials. It is presided over by her Majesty the Queen of Hearts, who has brought us all here.

[hotshot_momma]

Even if you were dreaming, I'm afraid it's real. We're the unwilling guests of the self-styled Queen of Hearts. Most of us are trying to understand the Gardens and the areas outside them, and escape. All of the people here are female, including the Queen and her advisors.

Oh, and avoid the mistletoe. It... compels a kiss.

[foolette]

Everyone is female? I wonder why that is? [she looks puzzled] I guess all that matters is finding a way out. I really need to get back.

O-oh, right. Thanks for the warning!

Re: /wrong icon ;;

[hotshot_momma]

Our main theory involves the Queen having a voyeuristic streak a mile wide and a Kinsey reading over 5, but we could be wrong. Hopefully.

Most of us are working on it. Be advised that walking will just take you out of the edge of this world into something... else.

[peachhat]

New, huh? You ...don't sound like a fighter, huh?

[foolette]

Yeah, I'm new. Um, what does a fighter usually sound like?

[peachhat]

Don't know, more assertive, maybe? So, is she, or is she not. Can't tell...
