1st ♥ For The First Time Ever | [video/action]

[lovesopendoors]

[Wow, this girl here sure looks all too excited for a new arrival. Maybe she's not a new arrival...]

I -- think I got this to notice me? Is this how it works? I sure hope so, because otherwise I'll be just talking to myself and that's kind of okay, but it's not fun! Anyway, hello! Hi... How do I start a video about me -- Hey, hello I'm Anna, princess of Arendelle and the little sister of queen Elsa! [Oh, wait. There's a very tiny pause. Don't get used to it, she could go on and on forever.] ...Well, I'm not a princess here, so you can just forget that part and I promise I won't be too surprised if you've never heard of Arendelle, since I had never ever even heard of this place either!

But wow, am I so ready for this change! Even though I'm still not sure if this thing actually works, or well, I'm not sure of anything yet! But I'll find out -- I only just woke up so everything is still new to me, whenever I can take a good look around everywhere! This is amazing, I've never lived in a huge place like this!!

[So, yes, she is new. And this technology is new to her, but that just makes everything even more exciting in her opinion. Anna gasps in excitement, looking even more excited if that's even possible.]

Are there actual, real, live people here? I mean, Miss Schnee, said many others have arrived too? I don't mind talking to this weird little... thing, seriously it's so much better than talking to painted pictures on the walls, but I kind of prefer talking face to face whenever I can! Still, this would have been wonderful back home too if I can really talk with everyone on this weird screen too!? That's so strange, but I'll get used to it.

And this might sound totally crazy, but since we're all brought here by some magic from ... some, different places maybe, are there people, who know magic? I'm just curious and my only special skill is probably making a giant snowman angry by throwing a snowball at it! But if it's possible, that people here know some magic or have some powers, then maybe you can tell me about your powers? [She's honestly just curious, and yes, almost casually asking about those is obviously what you're supposed to do.]

Well, even if you don't have anything like that, it's totally fine by me! I'm just an ordinary girl myself and I can't wait to meet everyone -- we can talk about anything, or you can come out and play with me, yes? We can build a snowman, well it doesn't have ot be a snowman; it could be a horse, reindeer or whatever you want it to be! [So she's just aiming to befriend everyone somehow?] Anyway, Elsa's castle is there, so I hope Elsa is here too! I really should go tell her, that I'm here now and we can be together again. ...Okay, bye!

[Oh look, she's finally done with all the crazy rambling. Maybe. Maybe she'll return... Nope, not this time. She really wants to find her sister now.]

[ A C T I O N ]

[ If you happen to be anywhere near the Bay, you just might see this girl there. Or maybe she'll run to you and Anna being ... well, Anna, will cheerfully greet anyone she sees (with a "Hello~!") while she's clearly heading to that ice castle. She's an easily distracted person, so even though she looks busy, she might stop to talk with anyone for a moment.

Well, she's also very clumsy. So once she gets to that icy trail -- that is so clearly made by her sister -- she'll be flailing her arms a lot while she's trying to stay on her feet. She's had a lot of practice of this back home by now, she's still not good at rushing on ice. Not that she's good at skating either. Help? Or watch out in case you happen to be there, she might literally run into you and try to grab your arm or back for help.

Maybe she should be worried about the ice castle. It's not exactly a happy memory from home, but well, at least this time Anna knows how to fix things if it happens again! So she's not worried at all.

Anna will get to that castle, eventually. This time she'll just walk in from the door and looks around smiling because this is a really familiar place in a way, probably the most obvious sign to know about Elsa being here too. Where does she even start looking? First floor? Second floor? It's so quiet while Anna is walking there slowly. Maybe Elsa isn't home or maybe someone's hiding here... Well, calling out her name worked last time too, so... Oh, but calling out her name ruins half of the surprise. Oh well...]

Elsa? Elsa, are you here?!

[Lucky for Anna, she was actually there, but only to say goodbye to the castle. Seeming as it was probably a problem being there and she no longer lived here, it was only natural to take it down. Still, even if this castle didn't last long, she was going to miss it. Then again, she could always just as easily make a new one if she really needed to.

She hadn't noticed anyone else come in since she was on the second floor looking out of the balcony, but soon enough she heard someone calling her name.

No... That...]

[Action] 2/2

[frost_bitten]

[She hurried down to the top of the stairs on by the first floor and...]

Anna! Is that..

[It was her. She hurried down the stairs, elegantly without slipping on the ice; considering she was the ice queen... When she was finally off the stairs, she threw her arms around the girl and tightly hugged her.]

Anna! I'm so happy to see you.

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin looks at the video feed, almost bemused. A strange reaction to being kidnapped, to be sure - but not the strangest he's seen, after a year of arrivals in liminal space back when he was a Traveler.

And she's a princess! That doesn't mean all too much to Armin, but he's tried to respect peoples' offices before, even where they didn't necessarily apply - and the fact that she's fine with the fact she's not a princess here convinces him she's worthy of that respect.

He turns on the video and immediately salutes, right first clutched in front of his heart. It's more casual than he would giving it to an actual superior, but still appears to be serious.] It's nice to meet you, Princess Anna. I'm Armin Arlert, of the Survey Corps.

[He gives her a small, only slightly hesitant smile.] I just arrived here a few days ago, myself. But there are quite a few actual, live people here, yes.

[Video]

[lovesopendoors]

[She's not used to military salutes! So when he does that, Anna kind of wonders what it is. She blinks, blinks again. But things that come from heart are important though, so at least she seems to like it after the surprise!

Hmm, well she won't mind if people don't drop the princess part. Maybe he can keep adding it, for now. But Anna sure looks very cheerful here, she can't stop smiling after a grin.]

It's great to meet you, Armin! What kind of surveys do you do? Like, are they long or short polls? Do you go from door to door, or tell people to send papers to you?

[You totally meant opinion polls with surveys, right?? No? Well, looks like she thinks so!]

We can be new here together! And actual, real, live people are great, though I haven't met anyone yet - you know, outside these screens. But I'll try to, as soon as I can. First I need to find my sister!

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

[Colour Zelos surprised. There was very little in all that he could fault her on - she knew very well their titles meant nothing and accepted it, and happily embraced this new world as she did.]

Wow, it's not everyday we get someone so cheerful show up. You certainly know how to brighten up a place, beautiful~

My name's Zelos, Zelos Wilder. Nice to mee you.

[Video]

[lovesopendoors]

I guess I'm not so surprised by that, most people don't like being kidnapped. I think -- I've never met others, who have been kidnapped, so I wouldn't know for sure. But if people are from different places, then isn't this just a really exciting place to kidnap people to? But brightening a place or people up is really important! Maybe we need more new arrivals, who'd have similar reaction to this. ...Or maybe people just need a little time to get used to after they arrive.

[Still rambling as if she's talking to pictures on the walls? Yeah, well, considering how recently she's used to having human company back home too... No, actually, she just really likes talking.]

Nice to meet you too! How long have you been here?

[ribbondokis]

You're a real life princess?! [ This is her first time seeing one, so she's rather shocked, especially as she brings her hand to her chest, eyes widening ever so slightly. ]

video;

[lovesopendoors]

[Anna looks sheepish.]

Yes? Well, I'm not a very princess-like princess, but I was born to Arendelle's royal family.

[Awwww, it's okay! It's Anna's first time ever for many things here, but she's used to royalty and doesn't... really know how it's such a big deal.]

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse makes himself stop laughing, before he answers her. He's actually a bit impressed that she managed to say all that in one go!

"Hi there, babes. Yeah, there's real people here and not just living ones, either," he corrects, a wet chuckle escaping from deep in his chest. "If you wanna know about magic, I'm the guy to ask. I'm the ghost with the most, after all! I can steal voices, possess people, animate inanimate and dead things, transform into things, y'know what I mean? Ghost type stuff."

[lovesopendoors]

Well, the worst or best thing is that she could just keep talking once she gets started, so that could have been a lot longer.

... Babes, really? Zelos above calls her beautiful and now this. Anna is not used to this and she kind of has a true love back home, so it feels even more weird to hear compliments from people. But congratulations, the rest of your reply gets her quiet for a moment! Anna looks clearly surprised or maybe even almost shocked by it.

"...How are they ... alive if they're not --- well, you know, alive?" She comes from a mostly normal world, what is this? "I've never met a ghost before, not that the ones back home would probably even be visible if we have any! Umm, I thiiiiink I'm more interested in -- less ghost-type magic. Why would you steal voices, possess anyone or animate those? I guess if you wanted to make a charades show, stealing voices would be a way to make sure no one really talks, but -- Do you use your magic for good purposes?" Maybe you are a friendly ghost. There are friendly ghosts, right?

Any sister of our guild member is welcome to learn.

[lovesopendoors]

I'm her only sister, if you're talking about Elsa! [and then this gets confusing.] What guild? Learn what?

[TOO MANY WORDS AT ONCE.

Luke caught what she's said, but struggled to keep up. When she stops talking, a small mile crosses his face and he tips his hat politey. Now he can try and answer some questions without interrupting her.]

Hi, Princess Anna. I'm Luke Triton--it's nice to meet you.

And yes, Queen Elsa is here.

[A pause and Luke's smile slips just slightly for a moment: beneath the cheerful exterior is an obviously exhausted kid, who is looking a bit worse for wear. Another newcomer and she's got family from home here. It's visible just momentarily before he presses on.]

I don't live so far from the Bay if you'd rather talk in person.

...I don't have any powers though. I don't have any anything, honestly.

[Video]

[lovesopendoors]

[THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MANY WORDS AT ONCE! Okay, so maybe she's still getting used to the fact that nowadays people listen to her and notice her, and she could probably come up with less words at once and still get answers... But well, she kind of really loves talking. A LOT.

Anna curtsies politely when he tips his hat. She's got this really wide grin all over her face.]

Hi! It's really nice to meet you too, Luke!

Ohh, I know, or well, I'd be surprised if her ice castle was here but she wasn't. But thanks, it's great to have confirmation for that.

[... Luke, are you okay? That doesn't go unnoticed by Anna, who's had her share of years of loneliness and doors slammed to her face.]

Sure, that would be great after I see Elsa! These screens are pretty great, but it's always different to talk in person.

... [.... Luke, no. That sounds too sad even if you don't necessarily mean it the way she understands it.]

I don't mind if people don't have them, as I said I don't have either. I'm just me. But I'm sure we all have something even if it's not powers like that, it might be in our personality or somewhere else where people can't see! It might just take time for us to realize it, but please don't say you don't have any anything, okay? You can have me as a friend, if that counts for something!

[video]

[caelum_melody]

You're rather talkative aren't you?

[This girl reminds her of Usagi, with how fast she talks...though the rambling is cute]

[video]

[lovesopendoors]

I guess so? But it's like -- if there's a lot, that people can say something to, then it hopefully means I won't be talking alone all the time.

[Or then it brings random questions like this and that's totally fine by her too! At least it means she's not alone.]

video;

[eighthchild]

[Hikari is quite happy to smile and try and listen to everything she says. Although she is pretty sure that this is the longest someone had spoken on this thing.]

You certainly had a lot to say didn't you? I hope you find what you are looking for here and that people here answer any questions you might have. Though I guess if you are done looking for your sister, then the welcome centre is always a good place for information.

video;

[lovesopendoors]

I guess that's what you get when you talk to pictures on the walls for years. [Or maybe it's just Anna being extremely talkative, who knows.] Thank you! [For hoping she'll find what/who she's looking for.] Well, Elsa is really easy to find since no one else would probably make an ice castle like hers. Maybe we'll visit there after that, I have no idea for how long she's been here or what we'll do, but I'll find out. Maybe she'll help me think of a job too, that one might be more difficult than anything else.

[gullwingsgunner]

I guess it depends on what one would class as magic, really?

[Yuna is able to change her class using some ability, but she wasn't sure she would class that as magic. The abilities in a couple of her classes though are magic.]

video;

[lovesopendoors]

Anything that's even a little outside normal human skills? I'm really not picky at all.

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Talking face to face is always nice, but you find sometimes you aren't able to speak to someone face to face, so things like this are useful.

[But Yugi prefers face to face since he very rarely had a phone on him anyway.]

Though I'll be happy to get to know you. It's always nice to have a friend around here after all.

video;

[lovesopendoors]

Oh, I know! I really wish we had something like this back home too, because we've got no ways to keep contact if someone goes away for a while [or stays inside her room for years] ...So now it's just going to take time to get used to keeping this thing with me all the time!

[...She's probably going to forget it somewhere often. Then again, she's the type to run back and go get it, so maybe it won't be a real problem.]

I'll be happy to get to know you too! The more the merrier, right? I really want to get as many friends as possible. What's your name? I'm Anna -- [wait, she told it on the video, so there's a little pause and she looks a bit sheepish.] -- still, obviously.

[alwaysgrounded]

["Everything is still so new..." That really... hit close to home...]

Uhm.. Excuse me for asking but... Where you for some reason trapped somewhere for a while?

[Video]

[lovesopendoors]

[Hello new person! ... Oh, hello this topic.]

Yeah, we live in this huge castle, but it gets kind of really small when you spend all your time inside the gates for thirteen years.

[So... FOR A WHILE, yeah.]

But we're fine, back home, now! We got it all fixed and everything's pretty amazing there.

[respect_points]

[Wow... Okay, if Gippal ever gave her crap for being hyperactive... EVER AGAIN.... She could point him her way and prove that she's really not that bad. Seriously. Was this what it was like to talk to her from other people's perspectives?

It was hard to catch everything that she said, but she did catch a few parts of that.]

Hello, Anna. I'm Rikku. It sounds like you lived an.... interesting life. I can use some magic, but I don't really use it as much as my other dresspheres.

[lovesopendoors]

[Another new person~! Wow, she's surprised to see so many... Everyone should do the same; sending people like that to meet Anna, that is! Or then she can befriend all the hyperactive people for everyone's horror...]

Hello! Rikku is a cute name! I guess the definition of my life depends on how you look at it [mostly she's been lonely and tried not to be bored to death for years, but hey that's in the past --] ...it's definitely been interesting lately, though, so yes I could agree with that!

[and she's even more excited as soon as she mentions magic.]

Really? What kind of magic? ...Spheres? A woman above was talking about dressspheres too, do you know her?
