 [Patchouli is not amused. A moment after exiting the disgusting pod, she has dried off her long dress with magic and parked herself briefly in front of the Hologram. It looks like the sort of scientific magic that she would find on the other side of the barrier. Her suspicions that Yukari is the culprit are promptly shut down by Weiss' image, and the little device in her hand explain.

She holds it up, reminded of something that Sanae girl has, then shrugs.Her gaze then drifts to the city streets in front of her. With a sigh, she resigns herself to the inescapable situation.]

My name is Patchouli Knowledge, and I am a wizard from Gensokyo. I will not waste your time with idle chatter, so do not waste mine. I am looking for an establishment that sells books, particularly on your realm's magicks and spirits, as well as the nearest business that may serve me coffee. I would also like a place to set up residence. Preferably one with low moisture and little sunlight, so as to not damage my books. 

If you have nothing meaningful to say, do not waste my time with your 'welcomes' and by repeating anything in that Hologram. I do not care to make friends, so do not bother.

[But actually: Do bother this stick in the mud.]

Well aren't you a little stick in the mud.

[This coming from someone kicked back in a seat in what looks to be a planetarium. Looks like he's between shows at the moment.]

[ Remilia's the sort to check the network often these days.. or nights. But this time, there's someone she didn't think would see again anytime soon. ]

Patchy! [ Remilia's naturally happy to see her, how could she not? And she's making her way to the Bay already... ]

[Have a bright smile.] Welcome to Genessia. My name is Mavis Vermillion. I own a bookstore in Fayren that has many interesting books on the subject.

You're also welcome to come and stay at Fairy Haven. It's the guild hall of the mage guild Fairy Tail. [You're currently talking to Fairy Tail's guild master, by the way.] We have dorms and I can assure you they're fit your requirements.

[You might not care about making friends but Mavis does.]

[ohmystarsandlasers]

Wow Patchouli, you got nabbed too?

[ And look who just showed up? Actually, Marisa had appeared not too long ago herself, and figured out the device pretty quickly. So that's what these smartphones do when powered up.

Gotta figure out how to charge it later if she plans on using the thing regularly. ]

[lockedgirl]

Remilia?

[Somehow, Patchy is not quite surprised to see her dear friend. Because really? Did some border-wannabe youkai really think they could separate these two? Don’t underestimate the power of friendship and freeloading!

She cracks a soft smile.]

You are here too. I am glad. I don’t need to worry about being bored, then.

[lockedgirl]

[Oh, hell.

Patchy initially shoves her face in her grimoire.]

At least now I know the kidnappings are random. No place would willingly “nab” you.

[Her face is in the book to hide a smile. Marisa being here is nice.]

[lockedgirl]

I may just take you up on that, Lady Mavis. Fayren... sounds like a place with faeries. Or at least, magical energies. I assume, then, your bookstore contains magic books.

[Mavis is not a waste of time, so Patchy decides to invest in this relationship.]

Do you have faeries there? I ask out of curiosity, not a depserate need for anymore faeries in my life. They are a common find in my home.

[lockedgirl]

You have three seconds to tell me why you are worth my time. What I spend wasting breath on you is already more than you may deserve.

Magic books? Useful information? Or the off button?

[scarlet_devil]

You're my Patchy, right? Tell me how we met.

[ She is also totally going to glomp Patchouli because of course she is. ]

Oh, I'm coming to meet you. I expect Sakuya might not be far behind.

[ohmystarsandlasers]

[ A cocky grin. ]

Maybe that Yukari wannabe wanted to make things a little more exciting here.

[lockedgirl]

There are safer ways to do that.

[Patchy says, demonstrating that she doesn't understand "excitement" the same way that Marisa does. She likes her books, her closed spaces, and her safe, controlled environment.]

[lockedgirl]

You made the mistake of letting me into your mansion, and then we forgot that I didn't live there. [She teases, though her tone is still dry like her books.]

Sakuya is here as well, then? Is Flandre here? [Patchy can only hope. She cannot imagine Remilia being happy with Flandre's safety unknown.]

[ohmystarsandlasers]

[ Hey, Marisa likes her books too... Enough to 'borrow' them. 14 or so years and she's still up to her usual shenanigans. ]

You idea of safe just isn't flashy at all.

[scarlet_devil]

Indeed, that does sound right. [ Slightly dry here. And her French accent showing though as usual. ]

They are. Even if they weren't, if we get sent back, we'd be sent back to the very moment we left.

[lockedgirl]

My goal isn't to be "flashy." It's to be precise and effective, wasting as little energy as possible.

You can keep your laser beam spam and noisy antics to yourself.

[lockedgirl]

Hm, is that so... I suppose that is for the best. If I'm gone for even a moment then a rat is going to get into the library. I don't need foul fingerprints on so much as the covers of our priceless collection.

[She notes that Remilia doesn't sound overly excited about Flandre, but does not push. Little by little, as they say.]

Were you able to ensnare the fate of your mansion?

[scarlet_devil]

Perhaps the black and white rat will find herself here as well.

[ She hopes that is true for everyone. Now, the mention of her mansion... ]

It's not here... but I do have a place to live. Castlevania, home of Dracula himself and... you can call him my adoptive Father, I suppose.

I've been here for... almost two years. Time can be odd.

[ohmystarsandlasers]

Aw Patch, you should let your hair down once in a while.

[ Because hiding away in a dusty old library doesn't sound like really living to her. ]

[Patchouli? The name is very familiar. In fact, she remembers her well enough. But does Patchouli?]

H-Hello... I don't suppose you remember me, do you?

[lockedgirl]

No. [Wow, Patchy. At least give Marisa a chance.]

Regardless. Now that I know you are here, I can rest assured that my library shall await my return in peace, not pieces.

[lockedgirl]

Are you from Gensokyo?

[innocent_royal]

[Looks like that's a no.]

I'm from Nevus. You were briefly my magic teacher here...

[lockedgirl]

Hm, interesting. I had last seen you on a Monday. [WHICH, GIVEN PATCHY'S HANDLE ON TIME... could be a Monday two years ago. Once she's in the Library, she knows the days of the week but not really dates.]

Dracula, you say? Interesting. I received an offer from a "Fairy Tail" guild as well... The most I need is a place to store books and begin a new collection. [And well. Remi, if she's to be honest.]

[lockedgirl]

...

[Nope, she doesn't remember. So she's been here before? Time and space sure do operate in strange ways. Maybe this is why Remilia's reaction to Flandre being here seemed so strange.]

Then no. I am not the Patchouli Knowledge that taught you magic. What did you offer that Patchouli in exchange for teaching you? [She assumes that she wouldn't just offer for free.]

[scarlet_devil]

You have no memory of your time here, do you? If people her come up saying they know you, don't be alarmed.

Well now, Castlevania has quite the library... You stayed there the last time, I believe.
