1 ♥ Nothing like the life I've lead so far (action/video)

[lovesopendoors]

[ACTION]
[Anna wakes up confused and worried when she finds herself in a new place, that she has never seen anywhere back home before. Wait, what? Iiiiis this some kind of a new coronation day game? Is this even coronation day anymore?? How long has she been sleeping?? Is this even Arendelle anymore?? It could be now when the gates are open, it's not like Anna knows what's behind them. She looks at the new things she has with her, then she looks around like she is trying to see if anyone else is here.]

Elsa?! [Haha, right. There's no door between her and anything, why would her sister be here then? Unless someone got her too... What if Anna is kidnapped during the first time when they open the gate after all those years? Well then, no wonder they have been keeping them locked... Right, okay, apparently she isn't locked into this space or anything, she's free to walk around and that's what she also ends up doing. So there is one girl in a black and green dress walking out of the waking place right now. Anna looks worried at first and then amazed as soon as she sees any of her new surroundings.]

Okay, Anna, maybe you should go back to sleep and wake up from this [she pinches herself when the hologram stops speaking.] owww, not a dream! Where do I even start??

[VIDEO]
[First there's a really quick view of Anna's confused face upside down on the screen, she says "no" and starts flipping her new device around only to end up dropping it... be right back!

She returns soon and this time she's not upside down anymore. Not that she'd have any problem with that but she's not sure if she can say the same about anyone, who might see this.]

Wooooooooow, if singing a song and bumping into something at the end of it opens gates to places like this then I should do that more often!

Ummm... Hello! My name is Anna, I'm from a place called Arendelle and I'm totally new here. We don't have anything like this... device back home, I wish we had though because if even just one person can see this then that would be great back there too. Mostly I'm just hoping I'm doing this right and not just talking to myself-- not that that would be new at all but... If you can see this, could you say something?

So about these jobs since apparently I'll need to find one soon, not that I mind but I have no experience of anything... Can anyone do them? I mean I guess there's something for everyone but well... My only experience is singing, acting, dancing and doing crazy stuff like I could be part of a circus all around the castle back home, not sure if I'll find anything with experience like that. Besides, there are so many interesting options, how do they expext that I can choose only one??

[Kiyo still hadn't wandered far from the Bay yet, so she was able to see the other girl. Another person who had no idea what to do? Great! Well, not great, but...]

Uhm...Hi? I'm n-new here too...

[Apparently her fake confidence from earlier has worn off.]

I don't really know? What to do from here either? But uhm...

I'm Kiyo. Nice to meet you?

Re: [Action]

[lovesopendoors]

[Oh but another person, who is also totally new here is great! They can get completely lost together... Wait no, not great because of that but fellow newbies can stick together. Anna spins around to see her.]

Wooow, love the hair! [and she is possibly not used to have any kind of a filter when there's usually no one to talk to, so she ends up talking to herself and things around her all the time.]

Hello Kiyo, it's really nice to meet you too! I'm Anna and it's okay that you're not sure either, we can figure this out together. Did you come here from Arendelle too? [one step at a time, starting with that because no way she saw everyone who were coming to the coronation even with her singing and dancing through some of the crowd.]

Re: [Action]

[wishing4smiles]

Th-thanks. I uhm...I was getting ready for a show...before I came here. Your dress is really pretty.

No, I, uh, came here from Japan. I'm pretty used to being told what all I need to do, so this...[She waved to the city] Is kind of terrifying.

But uhm...yes, let's figure this out together. We have some money, and a place to stay for awhile, so that's good uhm...

[heribbon]

That's one way to feel about it. [She giggled.]

My name's Mami Tomoe. Don't worry, you're doing it well, especially since you've had no experience with anything like it before.

As for jobs, maybe you could perform your songs?

Re: [Video]

[lovesopendoors]

Oh wow, I actually really got it to work! [How else would she have an adorable giggling girl on her screen?]

Hello! I should really thank anyone, who made the instructions on how to use this to the pamphlet I woke up with, otherwise I'd probably still be there trying to figure it out all by myself.

M-my songs? Ummm, I mean sure but I don't really have those. Sometimes I just burst into song and sing whatever comes to mind about my life or day or anything, I'm not really even sure if I can sing when there's been no one to tell me how it's going...

Re: [Video]

[heribbon]

[Another lonely person like her? Mami had to squash down premature hope.]

There's only one way to find out, isn't there? If we meet up you can sing, and I'll tell you if you're any good.

If you are, we can figure out your song problem. If not, perhaps you'll be able to find a job with few qualifications like I did.

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea chuckled. Isn't she a cheerful sort? Also, hello, fellow redhead.]

Well I don't know if there's a circus around here, but you might be able to makes some money singing if you're reasonably good at it. Though if you're really not sure what job would suit you, the folks at the employment center should be able to help you out.

[video]

[lovesopendoors]

[She'll get even more cheerful after she'll be here for a while... Right now she's somewhere between that and being socially awkward penguin on how does she do this being social thing at all because this is all new to her. Hello fellow redhead!]

There could be or we could start one or maybe we'll just be without circus and I can continue doing crazy things all around the place, that sounds even better than possibly limited options in one location. Ahaa, I'm not really sure if I'm any good at it since no one has ever said anything a-and I'm used to attention at all but I guess singing or acting or something else that goes with performing would be nice?? Thanks, maybe I'll head there with some questions and if they suggest something that I can't do, we'll at least I know what's totally no and off limits for me.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

There is that, yeah. But if it makes you feel any better, I didn't have that many marketable skills when I showed up here either, and I'm doing alright. Even managed to take a decent stab at the whole 'responsible adult' thing.

Name's Lea, by the way. Got it memorized?

[deathsought]

Arendelle?

{ Well, that caught his attention. He'd hoped to see Elsa with her. After their previous interactions, they'd become friends, with the idea of someone being feared and hated for magic she had little control over hitting a bit too close to home for him. But alas, she wasn't there. }

Ah, right... you're Elsa's sister. She has been here before, too. { Twice. } As did you, though those who leave this world often lose their memories of it.

[ video ]

[lovesopendoors]

Yes, Arendelle, it's --

[And whatever Anna is about to say after that doesn't matter when she hears what he says next.]

Wait, what? You know Elsa? I -- Yes, I'm her sister even though that really wasn't even a question was it, I'm more surprised anyone else knows it... Elsa has been here before? When? I -- I'm sorry, I don't remember anything about being here before myself but I'm glad she wasn't here alone, at least not all of her time.

[ video ]

[deathsought]

A little over a year ago, if memory serves. { He's not concerned at all about her reaction. She wasn't the first to leave this world and later return with no memories, she won't be the last. }

That's how this world works. Time has no meaning here, and those who leave and return, more often than not, do not remember being here before. { Though, there have been rare exceptions. } I know it's a lot to take in. And before you ask, no, I don't know who, or what brought us here, though several of us have theories.

[ivegotadream]

I don't think it works here though, I've sung before and nothing. Though I did make friends with a group of vampires.

[And she seemed really happy about that.]

But hello Anna, my name is Rapunzel. As for work, yes anyone can do them, you can do something amazing and new that you would never have thought to try, or you can use what skills you have. But also you can do two jobs. Like me. I work two jobs, though I always think about getting another.

video;

[lovesopendoors]

Yeah, I-- mostly just sing to myself and if it would have some magical effects, then surely those would have happened before too. But there was a lot happening back home with the timing of me arriving here. Vampires? Where??

[She seems really curious about that and not in any kind of a judjing way.]

Hello Rapunzel! Wow, something amazing and new would probably be great to do too if I ever figure out what that would be for me. Two jobs? Okay great, so I can do at least two and then feel like I want to do even more unless they make me so busy that I won't have time or energy... Are your jobs like completely different two jobs or somehow fitting for each other?

video;

[ivegotadream]

You would think that, but apart from maybe others singing around you, not much else can happen.

[She taps her chin lightly.]

As for where they live in the city of Everglade. It's like this really super spooky place, but not all of them are mean or cruel. Some are, though. Just not every single one of them.

[Best way to explain it really.]

Somehow fitting. My first job is part-time, only three days a week teaching arts and crafts. My other job is commission based on clothing and painting. So they do work with one another. The only downside with commission based is you might not always have work.

[Vdeo]

[lostxleader]

[there was no way a person like this could be so cheerful, especially after coming here]

Wait..you sung and you arrived here..?

[hair as rare as that only belonged to royalty too] You're a princess aren't you..

Re: [Vdeo]

[lovesopendoors]

[She figures it's a lot better approach to things than negative reactions of missing her sister's coronation, when no one could help with that at all. Don't worry, she'll be less cheerful once she thinks about all of this alone later.]

I mean, I think it was just a coincidence with timings or something, but yes, yes I did.

[Anna would have done this with her usual bed hair but since her hair is so nice and tightly done, it's still on that hairstyle... Everyone will just have to wait for that bed hair post to happen someday!]

Wait, was it that obvious? I guess since I mentioned castle... Yes, I'm a princess but I -- that doesn't mean anything here, does it? Really, I'm just Anna.

Re: [Vdeo]

[lostxleader]

[chuckles]

No, no..I don't think it means a thing here. Your clothes, your posture, and that castle-not only that, but in my world, hair color like that is pretty rare unless they are a royal.

...Might have been a long shot, but you confirmed it. [he shrugged] You don't want to be a Princess or Queen, Anna..?

[Video]

[allforthem]

Something~

[smartass, she's even laughing]

I would suggest calming down a little, but you seem to have you mind set! If you're so eager you should at least try one job at a time. It's super cool that you have all of those talents at hand.

[Video]

[lovesopendoors]

[Anna giggles and she'd ask for something more too but looks like she doesn't need to.]

If you think I need to calm down now, what will you say about me at my full speed once I get used to living here? I'll try, see if I can try one at a time... C-Cool? I-I*m not cool, I've just been bored and lonely and had a lot of space to let my imagination go wild but thank you?

Re: [Video]

[allforthem]

Might as well, right? You seem like a real go-getter!

[tilts her head] Bored and lonely? This is your time then, let your imagination go, alright? [grins and holds the back of her head]

video

[protectshope]

You can do all of those things? Really? I can't do anything like that...

That sounds like you have lots of experience, Anna-san!

Re: video

[lovesopendoors]

I've had time to try. I mean I-- I'm not so sure if I can really do them so much as I just do them all around home to have something to do there.

Years of practice at least, not that I'd recommend things like riding a bike around a castle to anyone since there are a lot of stairwells... But counting plates isn't really entertaining either, so I try to come up with my own entertainment.

[spacepeterpan]

[Well he likes that she seems so adventurous, at least.]

Ha, oh, if only it were that easy, 'fraid not, though, probably something on this side that brought you here, working on figuring out what, but it's been elusive, but hello, Anna, I'm the Doctor.

As for experience, well, depends on the job, that, and attitude, but I get the impression you won't be held back on account of that, so I s'pose the question's what you're most interested in--if you can narrow it down. Never been much good at that, myself, but if you've got the energy--against, guessing that won't be a problem--and the time for it, you are allowed to do more than one, long as you find a boss who doesn't mind.

[lovesopendoors]

True, it was probably just a coincidence from here but the thought is still amusing. Wait, you're really trying to figure out what brings us here? Hello Doctor, it's nice to meet you!

Is it that obvious, that I won't let anything hold me back? I think I'll need to figure that out, narrow it down to a least ... not as many options as I could be, because then I'd need a time machine or something to be everywhere all the time. Energy's not a problem, wanting to do all the things and days having not enough time for everything here might be... But thank you, I'll try to find a boss like that and jobs that go well together or jobs that are totally different from each other. At least I won't have to decide right now, I just really really hope I'll make up my mind in a month.
