001 Summon ❈

[ninjainviolet]

[If anyone's paying attention, they'll hear sounds of scuffling, along with the unmistakable noise of things being strewn about. Among all the chaos, a strident female voice can be heard despite the obvious fact she's muttering to herself.]

When I find out which noble did this, he or she and I are going to have a nice little "talk", since I doubt the king would move me in my sleep from the inn. He has no reason to try to impress me. [Her inflection clearly reflects that the talk may not be so nice.] I can apologize for the condition of the room then, but I have to find it. [A beat.] It is a nice room, though, if a bit overdone for my taste.

[There's a pause as she moves about, before a gasp is heard.] What the hell is this? That isn't Meltokio! Where the hell am I? Maybe that book will help.

[The journal opens, and the voice coming through is now surprised.] This... This is my name! [Pages flip.] And these look like someone's written in it already! Wait. No, a lot of "someones". [Suddenly stops and the book hits the table as she drops it.] That's what I just said! It's writing everything I say! What's going on here? Where am I? And how do I get back home? And... [Her voice trails off and becomes quieter with a touch of sadness.]

Since I was traveling alone, I have no one I can talk to who would understand, but maybe putting it down in this thing will help, since it looks like different people write in it anyway. Maybe one of them can help me. [She takes a deep breath] I…can’t find Corrine’s Bell anywhere, and I’ve been pretty thorough in looking for it [The crashing sounds from earlier]. I usually have it tucked inside my obi, but it’s not there anymore. I don’t think I was robbed, but if I was, why take that? It’s not worth any money…

But, it does mean a lot to me, and I want it back!

[ooc: Adding this note. Sheena's responses are all dictated at this point, since she doesn't know about the other functions of the journal. YET.]

[kalinda]

[Here, have a disembodied voice coming from the pages of that journal.]

I wouldn't mind helping you.

[ninjainviolet]

[And have a thud in response as she drops the book again.]

Who? Who's there? Show yourself!

[That voice did not come from the journal, so she's looking around.]

[kalinda]

[Yep, sure is new. Let's just maintain the calm, collected tone, here. Yeee.]

As much as I'd like to, I'm afraid my voice is being recorded. You can check in the journal if you'd like.

[ninjainviolet]

Re-Recorded? [Out of shock, does exactly what the voice suggests and sees the truth. This time, the journal falls with her as she sits down heavily in a nearby chair.]

How? How in the name of Martel is this possible?

dictated; 1/2

[amiable]

Meltokio?

dictated;

[amiable]

Are you from Colette-chan and Zelos' world?

[ninjainviolet]

Yes, Meltokio. I was just there-- Huh?!

[Sheena can't help looking around to see who had entered her room.]

Who are you and how do you know Colette and Zelos?

[She's a little angry. Maybe she's not the only victim here.]

[heal_theworld]

...Meltokio... Are you from Aselia? [She must be, though, but Martel's only making sure.]

[ninjainviolet]

[Almost drops the book again at the voice she now hears. Martel? It can't be.]

Aselia? I've never heard of it. I'm from Tethe'alla.

[The planet hasn't been renamed in Sheena's time-frame yet.]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel takes that as a yes.] Aselia's the name of the entire world.

...You probably don't know that, though, if you're from when it's split in two.

[gentleidealist]

[Hey look, another disembodied voice. This one sounds a lot like Lloyd.]

Sheena—?!

[And then it's followed by a huge THUMP. The kind that sounds like a 19 year old falling out of bed.]

[ninjainviolet]

[Forget where the voice is coming from, Sheena's more concerned about that noise.]

Lloyd?! Lloyd are you okay? What's going on?

[gentleidealist]

I-- I'm fine! [Ow, his butt.] Just rolled out of bed... What about you? You're not hurt, right?

dicated

[selfless]

[and since Colette has had a few days to get adjusted to... well, everything, she sounds pretty chipper! Despite her loss, haha]

Sheena? Now this is interesting, I didn't know so many people could arrive at the same time!

[ninjainviolet]

[Well, Sheena's surprise at hearing her friend's voice pushes away some of her sadness.]

Colette? Someone else told me through this thing that you were here! I don't know whether or not to be happy about it, though...

[She's still honest--even when confused.]

[selfless]

[hehe, oh Sheena. Such a big heart :') Colette really does like Sheena, even if she expresses it in well... a Zelos-like way]

Oh you don't need to worry so much, you'll give yourself wrinkles!

dictated;

[wilder]

[Oh hey this one is VERY happy to hear that familiar voice and it shows in his voice, though not in the usual trolling manner that Sheena is used to]

Sheena!

[ninjainviolet]

[Still, the suddenness of the voice surprises her and the book almost falls again, but she's getting used to this. She hopes. She doesn't even notice the change in his voice; she's that happy to hear from another friend.]

Zelos?! I was told you were here.

[Is there a bit of happiness mixed in with her surprise? Maybe. Possibly. Okay, there is.]

[wilder]

[By now he's heard enough to realize that there is a chance that this isn't quite his Sheena but rather the Sheena that this Lloyd and Raine are used to. It's in the back of his mind, certainly. But even if that was the case, Sheena is Sheena, right? Just like Lloyd is Lloyd]

Yeah it's me! I just got here a couple days ago.

[Maybe, it's all complicated]

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

[The name of the place sounded vaguely familiar, and the comments she was getting proved it. Huh. Interesting]

Congratulations on being kidnapped by a castle. Looks like you've already got a giant welcome wagon.

[ninjainviolet]

[Okay, this voice she definitely doesn't recognize, and it's a bit jarring after all the ones she does.]

You make it sound like it picked me on purpose... Did it?

[Pauses.]

Yeah, some of my friends are here. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, though.

[whichwayyoulean]

I don't know, maybe. We could all have been picked on purpose for all I know.

[A pause] Yeah. I heard things weren't so hot where you come from. I'm a friend of Martel and Zelos.

...Except Zelos is kind of crazy at the moment, so don't mind him.

[ruin_mania]

My goodness, and here I'd just told Zelos you weren't here. Welcome to Paradisa, Sheena. Have you already been told about the nature of this place?

[ninjainviolet]

Well, you weren't lying when you told him. I just got here not too long ago.

I've been told a little. Like the castle brought me here and that it takes things from you when you get here. [Continues in a small voice.]

It took Corrine's Bell...

[It's the only explanation for it being missing, since nothing else seems amiss.]

[ruin_mania]

I know it's important to you, Sheena, but it will be returned to you in time. I'm sure you know as well as anyone that it's your memory of him that's important. You wouldn't forget him simply because you no longer have his bell, would you?
