[Although she'd gone to sleep in a small, quiet, dimly lit room and awoken the next morning in very similar surroundings, Rin had known immediately she was nowhere she'd ever been before. The strange book lying next to her head had only confirmed her suspicions.

Now she is planted in the castle's large lobby. Any passersby might notice the girl sitting against a wall, hunched over her journal and turning the pages carefully with her feet, as she has no arms. She's taking in all the information she can, learning with every turn of the page. After a while, she speaks up, more to herself than to anyone or anything else.]

Am I the only artist here? The only student? Lots of butterflies are making it confusing.

Dunno what butterflies have to do with it but I'm an artist. I redecorated the lobby just the other day, actually.

Butterflies have everything to do with it.

[She pauses to look around at her current location.]

This looks lobby-ish. If I were a lobby, this is what I'd be. Did you do this?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Nah it gets rid of the art I do. I paint the walls and it's gone the next day.

Lobbyish? Are you new?

[dandelionwine]

I'm new here, if that's what you're asking. At least, I've never seen here before. Unless of course I have, and I just forgot.

[She chuckles]

I've never heard your voice before but that doesn't really mean much. I'm Nora. Nora Diniro. Have you already gotten the spiel about how this place works?
