[willrememberthat]

[There's a little girl standing outside the castle in skirt and red hoodie, looking around frantically. Maybe this wouldn't be too strange if she wasn't thoroughly caked with blood, front and back.]

--Lee? Lee!

[She's about ready to bolt, but her feet seem glued to the spot. It looks like she's not sure what to start towards--the giant castle, the city in the distance, or whatever trees are around?]

[Evan was out for a stroll around the castle, clad in what looked like a letterman-style jacket, with a scarf wrapped around his mouth and nose. He sees the little girl not far off, and seeing the state of her clothes, he jogs over, a worried expression plain on what's visible of his face.]

Hey! Are...you okay? Are you hurt or anything?

[willrememberthat]

[Clem jumps, having not noticed this person approaching until he called out. A person! A very much alive person, from the looks of it.]

N-no, I'm okay. I'm not hurt.

[She keeps her distance, however.]

Where am I?

[kid_apocalypse]

Okay, good. I just thought...you know...with the blood and everything...

[He clears his throat.]

Anyway, where you are's a little...confusing. This place is called Paradisa. From what I've found out, both the castle up there, and this whole area are called that. It's sort of a...well it's kind of a world by itself, where people from all over are brought for reasons no one knows. My name's Evan, I've only been here about six days myself, but I've heard there are people who've been here for years.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Wherever you come from, you...won't be able to go home until the castle lets you. It's...kind of alive, I guess.

[Luke was venturing outside when he spots the girl.]

Excuse me, but what are you do- [and that's when he notices all the blood.] Oh my gosh! We need to get you to a hospital right away!!

[willrememberthat]

I'm not hurt! It's not from me, I don't need to go to a hospital.

[She stares at him with wide eyes. Where was there a hospital, though?]

[tapshoetomove]

[To be honest he doesn't know where it is either, but her reassurance doesn't help him calm down much.]

I-it's not your blood?! Then whose blood is it?! Do they need to go to a hospital?

[reigne]

[You know, with how things have been at the castle since he's arrived, that is relatively safe and uneventful, the last thing he expects to stumble across is a sight like this.

He's close enough to tell that she's not lurched over funny, isn't clutching any random part of her body, and isn't you know shrieking in pain, so logically, the blood, or at least not all of it, can be hers.

Logic or no, this is still definitely one of the more alarming things he's seen]

Are you alright?!

[willrememberthat]

Mhmm, I'm okay, I'm--I don't know where I am. I wasn't here just before now.

[She knows what she looks like. She takes a small step back, away from this person. It was important to be careful, but maybe he could help her.]

Do you know where this is?

[reigne]

[Well, isn't that a bitter pill to swallow? How do you fix a situation that's only going to occur once one is already away from here?

At the small step back, he'll just crouch down until he's more her level, and not towering over her, trying to appear less intimidating. That would be a soft smile your way]

I do. This place is called Paradisa, the castle and the world both. It brought you here, or so many believe.

[nihilo]

[ Now isn't that a familiar sight, little girl lost all caked in blood. The question is whose, of course, and whodunnit. Alice practically giggles to herself at the sight, so thrilled. ]

Now I feel sentimental.

[willrememberthat]

Wha--?

[Giggling definitely means not a walker, but Clem is alarmed, regardless. She stares at the lady with wide eyes.]

What?

[nihilo]

[ Alice steps closer, close enough to tower over the girl and crosses her arms while tilting her head to the side. ]

What what exactly?

[silentrunning]

[Chell was about to head out that very door. She opened the door, peering out... and saw the girl. Her mouth flew open and her eyes got huge. Dear god the child was covered in blood. With a strangled half-cry, she darted out the door toward the child, journal still in hand.]

[willrememberthat]

[Clem jumps in surprise. Walkers don't move like that... right? The indecision has her rooted to the spot.]

Umm--

[silentrunning]

[Chell takes a step closer... and points at the blood covering the girl's clothes, looking very very very worried... But she does take a moment to notice that Clem doesn't seem to be hurt herself, at least not badly enough to be noticed, so then maybe it's not hers? Flipping open her journal, Chell scrawls a message, and then holds it out to the girl.]

What happened to you? Are you all right? Also uh... welcome to Paradisa.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Damon smells the blood first. A lot of blood. And way too much of it to be this girl's blood and for her to still be standing.]

Who'd you murder?

[willrememberthat]

[At first, Clem doesn't know that this man is asking because of the blood on her.]

I--I don't know, he was--

[And then she shuts her mouth, because if she says anything more she'll start crying.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Kids. Not on Damon's list of favorite things, but he's trying to make good here and be on his best behavior. So, he crouches down to be more on her level.]

Hey, I'm not here to judge, kid. I'd rather that be somebody else's blood than yours.

[draca]

[ Drogon smells the blood, taking flight from Dany's shoulder at the scent. It drags her attention and her gaze falls on the young girl, her voice nothing more than noise once she sees the blood that covers her.

Daenerys gasps, her heart aches and she almost runs over. ]

Are you alright child?

[willrememberthat]

[Clem is definitely not paying attention to the lady, because there is a fucking DRAGON right there. She gasps and stumbles back, falling onto her butt on the ground.]

[draca]

[ She follows the girl's gaze to Drogon. ] Drogon. [ At his name the dragon huffs and flies off to find a nearby tree to perch in. ]

[rogueofheart]

[Hello, little girl! Have a cat tentatively approaching. The scent of the blood is what initially draws her near out of sheer curiosity, but the look on her face gives off the impression that she could use some company. Purrticularly of the furry kind.

Nepeta will gently brush up against her legs as a greeting.]

;3;

[willrememberthat]

[Clem nearly screams when she feels something against her legs.]

Ahh--!

[But it's just a cat. She hasn't seen a cat in months. She wonders if walkers eat cats.]

Hi, kitty. Where did you come from?

[She carefully crouches to pet the cat.]

Late, but here I am. Cleeemeeentiiiine.

[squirrelhunter]

[Daryl's out and walking, heading back towards the castle, crossbow slung across a shoulder and a brace of rabbits over the other.

And he stops when he sees the little girl, frowning.]

Well, ain't that a sight. [A redneck drawl. Probably pretty familiar
-sounding.]

hehee

[willrememberthat]

[Clem stares with wide eyes. A person, a live person. That's good. She thinks.]

H-hello?
