[Well isn't this an odd invention? Fourteen year old Violet is staring at the talking book. Some sort of communication device. How very strange. She wants to take it a part. She sees no place for batteries. But priorities. Violet isn't with her family. Violet is always with her family.]

Hello. My name is Violet Baudelaire, and I'm looking for my family. Beatrice and Bertrund are my parents; Klaus and Sunny are my siblings. I should be with them.

Also how do these work? I'm about to take mine a part. There must be batteries somewhere.

ooc: and so starts Violet's pre-canon loss for two weeks. if you want action, she'll be wandering around the castle.

[Oh ... this doesn't sound good. But Neal doesn't want to scare the poor girl, so he'll try to be helpful]

I don't think I know anyone by those names. I'm sorry.

[signedlefthanded]

It's imperative I find them. I don't know how I got here. I was just on a beach with my brother and sister.

[alias_savant]

The castle is tricky that way.

[a deep breath]

My name is Neal. This ... is going to get complicated.

[signedlefthanded]

I'm in a castle?

I would say it's a pleasure, but given the circumstances...

[alias_savant]

It does make things complicated. I understand.

And yes, you're in a castle. It's called Paradisa.

[blue_sniper]

...Violet? [What is going on?]

[signedlefthanded]

Yes. I already stated my name.

[blue_sniper]

No, I mean, are you all right? [Why does she not remember anything?]

[signedlefthanded]

I'm fine. I'm just confused.

Who are you? Do you work with my father?

[starhipped]

[But this is .. she knows who this is! And this girl should know her!]

Violet? Did something h-happen?

[signedlefthanded]

I'm in a castle, apparently. [Why is everyone saying her name like they know her?]

[starhipped]

[Yes, Esther knows that.]

You don't remember this place?

[A-Ah..]

[signedlefthanded]

Why would I remember it? [She's never been here.]

[when she mentions her parents, Percy gets what's happening right away]

Vi-- um, I mean Violet. I'd hate to tell you, but your parents aren't here.

[signedlefthanded]

I've noticed. Or at least people have told me. I seem to be missing a lot. Parents, siblings, my ribbon.

[waterproofed]

Yeah. I'm sorry about that. [and he sincerely is]

[signedlefthanded]

Unless you brought me here, you have no reason to apologize.

[ dumbledore is sitting on the floor near the entrance to the library, reading quietly. he raises his head to smile absently at this person, not yet realising who she is. ]

action;

[signedlefthanded]

[Violet doesn't look much different. Perhaps an inch shorter and not as skinny. She's yet to live on the run.

First place to look for Klaus would be the library so that's where she's looking.]

Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me if you've seen a boy, shorter than me and with glasses in the library?

action;

[incantati]

I can't--

[ --he gets a good look at her. ah.... he pauses and is silent for a few seconds. slowly, he closes his book. ]

I can't say that I have. There may be many who fit that description.

action;

[signedlefthanded]

[Well let's try this again.]

He's shorter than me, dark, wavy hair, round glasses, on the scrawny side. He's my brother so there is a resemblance, high cheekbones and the nose.

[Oh. :( He's a little heartbroken by this. Did she leave and come back? How does this even work again?]

No batteries. Sorry Violet. [Some silence.] I'm Steve by the way. Steve Rogers. Let me know if you need any help.

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I need to find my parents.

dictated

[valuedstrength]

I can look through the nameplates to see if they showed up here. I think they got a whole list on the computer, but I don't know how to work one.

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

No one has heard of them.
