001 - First Bell [Action/Voice]

[siryms_echo]

 

[The feeling of grass beneath her was a bit startling, and she shot up into a seated position; had she been attacked on the way to Bau by archers? Did some some of illness overtake her while she was traveling? Once her head cleared enough for her to think properly, however, she realized that she was thankfully unharmed -- save for the dull ache between her large wings, which she then proceeded to spend several moments examining -- and then rambling over, as she talks to herself about the complete impossibility of having a feathered set of wings on her person that are entirely too small to be of use...]

[... After she spends some time mulling over the illogical details in her head, she finally rises and takes a step forward -- her toes nudge the journal, which leads to her bending over and picking it up carefully. Her fingers trace over its surface for a moment before she speaks.]

This is a weird turn of events, indeed...

[Tucking the small book beneath her arm, she begins to walk on ahead.]

[After a long while of walking, the residents of the town can see a dark-haired woman with two large appendages tucked behind her back. Her darkened eyes are looking straight ahead, though her ears seem to be twitching and moving, ever so faintly, as though trying to pinpoint noises.]

[Luceti, meet Anodrac. Clearly, she's unfamiliar with her surroundings, and a little bit nervous, to boot. Anyone want to be the one to welcome her?]

[Not that this guy seems to care about what's going on. He sounds positively peppy.]

Sure, ask away!

[anodracthedark.livejournal.com]

How do I get back... home?

[uncapsulated.livejournal.com]

I don't think you can, miss. We're all stuck here. Oh, and apparently some scientists want to experiment on us too.

[The peppiness only diminishes after the scientists are mentioned.]

[anodracthedark.livejournal.com]

...stuck here?

[Well, that just makes things worse.]

...so there's no way we can return at all. I guess I had better get acquainted with these surroundings...

[She's not even going to touch on the scientist bit yet. Now you have a quiet and not-happy bat-lady, Garuna.]

[uncapsulated.livejournal.com]

[Garuna, of course, is completely oblivious.]

Yep, that's a good idea. Need a hand with anything?

[anodracthedark.livejournal.com]

I need a hand with... everything.

[There's a soft, barely audible sigh. Today's not her day.]

...for the moment, however, I'd better find myself some food, at the very least...

[It's at that moment that she remembers that neither of them are really from the area.]

[That's... bad.]

[uncapsulated.livejournal.com]

Food! We can do that at least! Here, I'll take you to the restaurant. [There's a bit more whirring as he makes a "follow me" gesture before taking off.]

[anodracthedark.livejournal.com]

[The whirring of... whatever in the world he's wearing is enough to ensure she doesn't lose her way. She can barely keep up with him, though it's mostly because she barely knows where she's going as it is. And being a bit off kilter doesn't make things any better.]
