[A young girl trails along the empty paths of the city today, her ghostly form hovering a few inches off the ground. She looks as though she has already been wandering around for some time now, though she is trying her best not to become too

[ ...

Now that...

Is strange.

Do not mind the young man groceries in his arms stopping to stare at you. ]

[trainedprincess]

[She spots his staring and hesitates. Could he really see her?

She decides to test this. She comes to a stop, waits a moment, then moves to the left, watching his gaze to see if it follows.]

[threeofthree]

[ He follows her with his eyes. ]

...hello?

[trainedprincess]

You can see me! [And zoom! She's there.] I'm sorry if that seemed odd, very few people are capable and I didn't want to get my hopes up over a coincidence.

[threeofthree]

..it's -- that's all right...

You're a ghost.

[ Forgive him, he's still a little startled. ]

[trainedprincess]

...I am. You aren't frightened of me, are you?

[threeofthree]

...no. Just rather, confused.

I did not realize ghosts existed, even in a place like this.

[trainedprincess]

Well, I do have a very good reason to stick around. My body was hijacked by a demon shortly after I... left... it, and I intend to get it back!

[threeofthree]

Hijacked by a demon?

[ Oh. My. ]

I do hope you get it back!

[trainedprincess]

Thank you! [And she means it! Having someone else hope for her, especially a complete stranger, is incredibly uplifting.] That said, I was wondering if you could do me a small favor? I need directions to the train station.

[threeofthree]

Train station?

I would, but I do not think there is one.

[trainedprincess]

[She might be looking at him like he's just grown a second head.]

That's impossible... Every place in my kingdom has a train station. Or, at least, we haven't passed anywhere that hasn't had one.

[threeofthree]

...this is not your kingdom.

[trainedprincess]

What? But-! [She had thought, if her kingdom has an underwater temple, then surely an underwater city isn't all that far-fetched! But if that wasn't the case, then the only other option was...]

Have I... passed on, then?

[threeofthree]

Passed on?

No, you're in a place called Vatheon.

[trainedprincess]

I see. Do you know how I might return to my kingdom, then? I can walk-- well, fly, I suppose, if need be, but I must get back as soon as possible.
