Arrival/Intro post [01]
1. Arrival
[Xayah turns the pendant of the necklace between her fingers as she slowly walks down the road. It looks... old. Unreal. There are screens and pictures dancing around in midair, like some magic she's never seen before. But they don't hurt anyone, only talk. The woman explains the cities and the pendant she got and Xayah inspects it curiously. She? Kidnapped? This definitively doesn't seem real.
She passes the hologram, trying to appear flippant and unbothered by what the woman said. And yet, her words still ring in Xayah's ears. This... this is not home. She spots a person standing nearby, wearing the same necklace she has and without hesitation, she approaches them.]
The dancing picture- what was that?
[She's determined to find some information and she won't choose the means for it.]
2. The Gardens
[Nature had always offered comfort to Xayah. All by her lonesome here, without Rakan, amongst the tall buildings people built, it feels isolating. It took her a while, a bit of wandering around until she found a wonderful oasis. Right in the middle of everything.
It was annoying. Nerve grating. All the noise instead of peace and quiet the trees and fresh air provide. She was advised to... rent a place. But honestly, she would be fine just where she is. Here, amongst the trees.
She needs a plan. But first-]
I will have ten of those.
[-food. Skewers, to be precise. Sold on a moving cart by the entrance in the park. The seller looks baffled but Xayah looks exalted. While she waits for the seller to pack her food, she squints at the person next to her.]
What are you looking at?
3. Video/Voice/Action for anyone nearby
[When the night falls, Xayah still didn't return to her 'place'. Lounging around the town and getting to know the streets was her main goal. Now, seated by the water at the bay, she's fiddling with the device she got. Someone showed her how to record, how to use voice actions and how to text. There were no such things back home.
So she decided to take advantage of it. If this device can record, then maybe, maybe it will memorize some music of her people. She's not a singer or entertainer like Rakan, she doesn't even like singing, but some stuff... it should be remembered.
Letting her voice go, Xayah sings and records the song when she thinks that there's no one else to hear her. When the song is done, she has a very rare smile on her face. Perhaps, perhaps she'll sleep calmly tonight.
She only wishes Rakan was with her.]
