[as her NV flickers on, there's a slight high pitched gasp, followed by a hiccup (someone has been crying)] I-It turned on! But I still... don't know what it is. [there's a pause, and the sound of her pressing buttons]

Is this like a telephone? [she tries to calm her voice, but it just sounds more teary] M-My name is Pearl Fey, and I'm looking for

I guess you can call it a telephone of sort. It's a communication device if anything.

Sorry, but I doubt you can go home. None of us can.

[there's a distinct gasp as the device flips to video mode...]

[honestgaze]

..... Why?

[bratxprincess]

Because this place is those kinds of places that you can't just walk out of once you're stuck here.

[Of course, Ivy's maternal instincts were going to kick in.]

Poor girl. Did you recently arrive in town?

[video]

[honestgaze]

[she'll just... nod.... asdglkhas even over a weird video device, she's still talking to a stranger]

[tokissity]

I don't know of which Nick you speak of, but I do believe I'm somewhat familiar with a Maya.

[Ivy recognizes the wariness of the girl, figuring she was probably one of the smarter children-- not trusting of strangers. That was a bit of a relief, really.]

Are you able to get yourself in a safe location?

[honestgaze]

[she looks a bit surprised, and her face seems to loose a bit of its reserved look when she mentions Maya]

You're Mystic Maya's friend? She's here somewhere? [asdlgkah she'll answer your other question once the important facts are established]

...! Pearly?

[Voice]

[acemedium]

[No... there's mistaking that voice]

[Pearly - she's here. Maya isn't sure how to feel about that. On one hand, she missed her little cousin so much, but on the other hand... it was dangerous. And now with her in the hospital...]

[Voice]

[acemedium]

[The pause is just a short one before Maya's voice comes through again, sounding almost like usual]

Pearly! It's okay, Pearly! We're here. Don't cry.

[Voice] Done

[acemedium]

It's not a phone, Pearly, it's called an NV!

I'm going to explain everything later, okay? Just hang onto the NV for now!

[ a child. a human child. a real one, too.

he shouldn't be as curious as he is, but... what-- ]

Do you... need help?

[honestgaze]

[there's a soft, uncomfortable noise]

No...

voice;

[spiralviper]

Sounded like you do. Are you at least inside?

voice;

[honestgaze]

.... [doesn't know who you aaaare, but on the other hand she's stuck out in a baseball field so...] No, I'm outside.

[ fey, nick . . . curious, he might've seen you on a court tape somewhere before, pearl. switching to video! ]

H-hey, uh- Don't cry. [ while he's trying to smile- god, does he wish little kids like you would stop showing up :( ]

Maya's here, and so is Mr. Nick- have you spoken to her yet?

video

[honestgaze]

Do you know them? [brb, guard coming down]

Yes, I just talked to Mystic Maya!

[judicatory]

[ success-! ] Yeah- I'm a friend of theirs. I'm an attorney, like Mr. Wright.

Can you tell me where you are?

[honestgaze]

I was told to hide, so I'm in a short and tiny building next to a field. The field has a funny square on it, and little pillows on the ground... [is obviously... confused by this strange thing, WHAT IS BASEBALL?]
