❀ 1st Weed in the Garden - Action/Voice ❀

[shamelessness]

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It's cold! It's cold!

[A small blond teen in a new feather dress climbs out of the fountain, soaked from the knees down. She scrambles to get away and ends up running through the village a little before slipping and having a giant fall. This fall knocks her journal open. The recording was pressed on by accident, and the book is upside down so there is no picture. There is only:]

[Voice]
Ow, ow, ow, ow...

[bamfing]

Oh, right. Don't worry about it! They're all free and not all of them belong to people.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

You're sure? [Shiemi hesitantly flips through a couple jackets, unsure if she should take one.]

[Action]

[bamfing]

Of course I'm sure! Just pick one you like! The newer it looks, the less likely it belongs to someone, right?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Right! [With a sort of renewed confidence Shiemi looks for a coat on the racks. Without supervision she ends up picking up something like this. It's shiny, so it must be new right??]

[Action]

[bamfing]

[Hm. Not what he would pick. But as least she'll be warm.]

There! All set. [Well. Except for her legs. But if she wants to deal with that, she should know that she can, right?]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Thank you so much for your help, Kurt.

[Action]

[bamfing]

Ah, no worries. But aren't you a little concerned about where you are?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

[To be honest... she completely forgot about it.]

A-ah? Where are we?

[Action]

[bamfing]

[Yup! There it is!]

Well, this is where the bad news kicks in, yeah? This place is called Luceti. It's... nowhere you've ever heard of. And it's not a place you can get out of.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Can't get out? Why?

[Action]

[bamfing]

There's a barrier that goes all around this place. Not even I can get through it.

[And to make a point, he'll abruptly vanish in a puff of smoke and reappear behind her instantly.]

And usually I can get through anything.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Kur- eh?! [Her surprise dissolves into a coughing fit, and she's too busy dealing with that to notice him behind her. Her everything is frail okay.]

[Action]

[bamfing]

[Okay. So maybe he teleported a little too close. He usually steps back first. So he'll tug on her from behind to get her out of the smoke.]

Sorry about that.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

H-how'd you do that?

[Action]

[bamfing]

Teleporting. It's ahh... a little something special I was born with. Cool, yeah?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Very! And you can go anywhere like that?

[Action]

[bamfing]

Usually! Just. Not outside the barrier. [Which is the point he was getting at.]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Has no one been able to get out?

[Action]

[bamfing]

No. Not by trying, anyway.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

[So they really are stuck...] Are there places for people to stay since they can't get out?

[Action]

[bamfing]

Ahh, of course. There's all kinds of houses and apartments to stay at. The Welcome Center can tell you which ones are open.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Thank you! You're so helpful. [Shiemi looks around and... well she doesn't know where to find the Welcome Center.]

[Action]

[bamfing]

[He's noticed. He shakes his head, still grinning.]

How about I teleport us there, yeah?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

You can take people with you?! [So cool! She stares, amazed.]

[Action]

[bamfing]

Oh yeah, easy. Want to try it out? [He holds out a hand for her to take.]
