paradisa | 001 [ dictated / action ]

Tokunaga? [The voice is quiet at first over the journal, hesitant and confused before Seles takes a moment to look at her surroundings. Extravagant, open, and large...] ...This isn't His Majesty's... [Her thought trails off as her eyes find their way to the open journal on the stand nearby, and she's equally startled at the way she can see her words appear. There's a loud gasp and she slams the journal shut and takes off down the hall.

Was she being watched...?! The way she got here wasn't the only thing she couldn't remember either, though most thoughts were out of her mind at the moment thanks to the immediate panic and shock. And worry, of course. What kind of magic was this?! She had to find out what was going on!

Honestly, with her attire it's not so easy for her to hide. But still she tries, sneaking down the halls and hiding behind plants, peering from around corners and into doors, and generally being a snoop. A very bad quality snoop.

Feel free to run into her anywhere in the castle!]

[She ignores that as politely as she can manage to, simply glancing and then looking away as the 'tour' continues.]

Four Seasons room? What's that?

Its a room where the weather changes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's a beach. On Mondays and Fridays, it snows.

[That sounds kind of nice... But I don't have happy Seles icons yet gjkfsdg. BUT SO. She makes a special note of that with a nod.]

How strange... to have weather and seasons indoors. The magic of this castle must be very strong.

It is. It can do all sorts of things, actually, and has. It can take us to different worlds for a short period of time.

[But on with the verbal tour.] The library is three floors, from the fourth to the seventh. As far as I know, every book ever written is in there. there's even history books on Aselia, er- Tethe'alla. [Nice save, Martel. Only not.]

[Different worlds...? Seles thinks on that as they continue, mostly missing that verbal mess up. Although she certainly does glance over at that. It wasn't the first time she thought she heard something other than Tethe'alla...

But maybe it would be rude to pry. Just yet.]

Books from other worlds as well, then? [Ones she might not have read in the Abbey? That definitely strikes her interest and she makes a note, hands folding in front of her.] It seems like you know much of this castle. Have you been here long?

Yes, especially from a world called Earth. There are quite a lot of people here from Earth.

I'll have been here for a year in December.

A whole year...

[She's quiet again for a moment.]

I shall have to learn more of this place called Earth. [Since... A lady like her should be informed right?] But, you haven't introduced yourself have you?

Ah... [Oh spirits, what does she say? Time to stall, probably. So she smiles and laughs.] Well, neither have you!

But you knew who I was already!

Well, I don't know your name! Zelos never mentioned it!

My name is Seles. Seles Wilder!

[With her head high she says it hmph! But. That means she's expecting one in return!]

[She sighs. No more stalling.] Pleased to meet you, Seles. My name is Martel Yggdrasill.

Mar...tel?

[She's honestly so shocked it takes a long moment to process. The name, the last name, the books she's read on this, the things she's heard in the Abbey. Wait... How.

...

UH... Okay she has no idea how to process it actually so have some awkward silence.]

Ah, yes. I was named after the goddess, my mother was very devout. [Will that work? That probably won't work, ahahahaha. Zelos was going to yell at her so badly.]

...You were so focused on me calling my brother the Chosen One.

[She is intelligent after all.... turns out. Observant at least!]

...Well, it isn't nice to call people just by their titles. [She looks the other way, avoiding Seles' gaze.]

That's not all! How do you know my brother? I thought I heard you call Tethe'alla something else, too...

[She's not going crazy is she?!]

...I met your brother here. And [Sigh.] I called it Aselia.

[She doesn't get this at all. She's not sure what to believe. ...Sort of grabbing at her hat to straighten it more, she turns away.]

I can find the rest, as well as my room, on my own now, thank you.

Wait, Seles...! [Oh, hell, what does she say? She's never had this problem before, really. Everybody else knew the truth.]

[She pauses in walking, barely glancing back.]

Yes? What is it?

I'll answer any questions you have. I know it's confusing and I know... your brother wanted to tell you, but I just can't let you walk away like this. [Not knowing anything. Seles is too nice for that. Martel would feel terrible.]

[She turns at that, hesitating. Her brother...?]

What did he want to tell me? [That counts as a question right?]

About everything. About me, and the world. I don't feel like I should be the one to tell you, though. No matter how much you say you don't like him, he's still your brother. But.. [She gives her a hopeful smile.] Let me at least help you find your room?

[Zelos... actually wants to tell her something. Enough that he told this person so soon not to tell her? Hm. She's not sure what that means, but somehow it lifts her spirits the slightest.

Just enough to go on with her attitude.]

If he thinks he can hide something important from me, he's got another thing coming! I'll ask him about it later, then. And I'll expect the full details. [So there!]

...If you insist, then let's go. I want to settle in.
