[tending]

[ without warning anyone unfortunate enough to be looking at, or in the company of, their journal will find the pages dotted with droplets of water. what the hey, right? it's cool, this isn't the weirdest thing that has happened before. at least she didn't bleed on it!

the castle has just dropped one very soaked and soon-to-be confused girl in the middle of the lobby and despite appearing to be uninjured, she just kind of lays there until finally sitting up a little too quickly. her hand goes to her forehead as she coughs and takes a moment or two to actually take all of this in.

oh-- oh, no! where was Yukio and Rin? everyone else.. ]

Rin? Yuki-chan? I don't understand.. where could they have.. ?

[ okay, residents! this girl is looking around like a deer caught in headlights. but surely you would help her out because you're a nice person and not because she's rocking an adorable bikini -- right? her voice gets a little louder as she calls over to the nearest person. ]

Please, can someone tell where I am? I-I'm looking for my friends!

[ooc; Over the journals or in person, pick your poison! ♥]

Comments

[cantacquityou]

[Uh oh. Looks like a fresh one. Here's a prosecutor sitting right there in the lobby with a cup of coffee.]

Hello, there.

[tending]

[ She's a little busy freaking out over here but she is never too busy to say hello to someone! So, after a pause and some serious embarrassment because omg standing in a strange place in this state of dress; ]

H-hello!

dictated

[hyuuga]

Um... [She's really never been the best at dealing with new arrivals. But still, hard to ignore that tone of voice and the water.]

Are you all right? You...you didn't land in the pool or a lake, did you?

dictated! (omg hinata)

[tending]

[ Where did that voice come from? She doesn't see anyone but that doesn't mean they aren't here somewhere, right? Right! So, without missing a beat ]

A pool or a lake.. ? N-no, I'm all right!

[ How does she tell someone she just met that she got attacked by a kraken while trying to stop her demon bestie from attacking it? She doesn't, thus she opts not to elaborate further. Pfft. But now she's talking a little too loudly, having somehow deduced that Hinata must be very far away since she can't see her. ]

Thank you! .. for asking if I was all right.

dictated~ (i need daily cr in my life)

[hyuuga]

[Even though it can't be seen over the journal, Hinata is smiling. It's kind of cute that she's talking louder, like she isn't sure where she is.]

You're welcome... Um, I was just curious because... There's water getting on the pages.

[She won't be mean or tease her in any way, even though it would be too easy to. It's still mean.]

And, um, before you ask, there should be a journal near you. That's how I-I know and am talking to you.

(and i will take all the cr!)

[tending]

The pages?

[ Journal, journal.. oh! She takes a step back before carefully picking up the book by its edge, attempting to air dry it gently via shaking it to and fro. But now she thinks you're a talking book, Hinata! And she's being very gentle with said book now. ]

I'm sorry for dripping on you, Book-san! If I had known you were there, I would have been more careful!

(<3)

[hyuuga]

[She breathes out a laugh. This is honestly the very first time she's been mistaken for a book.]

N-No, I'm sorry. Um. I'm not the journal. We...Everyone here has their own journal and it's how we communicate. It's...some sort of magic. I'm actually not in the castle at the moment.

[tending]

Even so, I'm sorry about the pages in your journal!

[ Wow, she sure feels silly. Of course it would be another person and not a talking book. Thankfully, this person seems to be the forgiving sort. But she's learned something, the journal was very important. If they were here, she had a way to communicate with them now.

Definitely a relief! ]

But.. everyone? Are there a lot of people here?

Action

[not_tron]

[Down in the lobby, Tron finally gets to see how the Castle brings people there - one second there's an empty space, the next it's full.

The only thing of note about what she's wearing to this program is that Users wear weird clothes. Other than that, he pays her clothes no mind.]

Are you alright, User?

[tending]

[ Well, this User thinks your clothes are strange right back, Tron! She's a little reluctant to answer at first but not because she's suspicious of him, it's because she's looking around the lobby in hopes of spotting Rin and Yukio.

When she doesn't she turns to him, looking a tad confused. ]

Y-yes, I am! But User?

[not_tron]

[Sorry Shiemi - no Rin or Yukio to find here.]

Those who aren't programs like I am.

[tending]

Program? I don't really understand..

[ What are these strange terms? Nonetheless, she manages to look apologetic for not knowing but this is only temporary. Ending up in such a strange place is unnerving but she knows that, if her friends are here, they can take care of themselves. It puts her mind at ease a little. ]

But you don't have to call me User, my name is Shiemi. So you can call me Shiemi, if you would like to.

[not_tron]

[He doesn't really have the understanding of the User world to explain it. He knows only of the inside of computers, not the outside. He doesn't even know what a computer is, if you asked him. He attempts to explain, but he may just be making the problem worse.] Programs are written by Users to fulfill functions.

[He nods. Shiemi it is, then.] I'm Tron.

[tending]

[ It's all good, she gets the idea behind it and that's enough for her but it also brings her to another question. ]

It's nice to meet you, Tron. Do you like doing that? Fulfilling functions for Users.

action!

[korianders]

[ here have kori approaching her with a concerned look on her face. ]

You are in a place called Paradisa, I believe. [ have a friendly hand on your shoulder. ] What do your friends look like?

[tending]

Paradisa? But.. how did I get here? They were both just with me but now-

[ A completely hot random stranger should have freaked her out but she's exhausted, worried and desperate for any answers this person can give her. They had to be here, they just had to be. ]

They're brothers! Yuki-chan, he looks like the older one but he isn't -- he has black hair, wears glasses and.. [ she points to various areas of her own face ] he has three moles here, here and here. Rin also has black hair, he's a little shorter than Yuki-chan, and he can be a little impulsive. .. Ah! Also, he carries a sword with him.

Have you seen them? [ Hopeful girl is hopeful. ]

[korianders]

[ aww kori thinks she's adorable but feels bad because :( well obviously. ]

I am sorry, I have not seen people that look like that, but I have just arrived here the other day.

I do not know much about this place.

[tending]

So we're both in a similar situation.

[ The smile she gives her doesn't quite reach her eyes, even if the idea that she isn't the only one dealing with something like this reassures her. At the same time, she feels terrible for this person.. especially if she is also looking for friends. ]

You don't have to be sorry! I just thought that if I was here, maybe they would be too.

[korianders]

You never know, they may be here just as confused and scared as you.

[ she lets the hand slide from her shoulder and regards them down at her side. ]

What is your name?

[tending]

If Rin and Yuki-chan were afraid, they wouldn't let anyone know it..

[ This time her smile is much more genuine. ]

My name is Shiemi.

[whitecovered]

[Have a book floating by. The first thing Weiss notices is her proper clothing, or lack thereof. But then he notices how distraught she is and well, he can't exactly deny a small request like that (loss and all).]

This castle is called Paradisa.

[tending]

[ There is a floating book approaching her -- and it talks. She raises her hands as if meaning to gently grab it, then seems to think better of it as she remembers her hands are still wet.

And maybe this talking book doesn't like to be grabbed. ]

Paradisa? Book-san, do you know how I ended up here?

[whitecovered]

Book? First of all, I am Grimoire Weiss.

[Hrmph. Though he can't really blame her for calling him that given that he's...a...book...]

And you have arrived here due to the castle's will, supposedly.

[tending]

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know, so I hope you'll forgive me!

[ She feels horrible, really. At least now she knows what to call him. ]

Weiss-san, have you met anyone by the names of Okumura Rin or Yukio? They're brothers! And also my friends..

[whitecovered]

[...He can't be too mean to people like this. Hrgh.]

Could you provide a description of them?
