Lastly came Winter cloathed all in frize

[There appears to be fog or steam rising up around the woman as she appears on screen, in reality it's because behind her is a field of ice leftover from when she froze the water coming out of the pod so she could walk across it without getting wet. Her hair is down, all adding the the abnormal lack of color and making the dark lips and shifting colors in her eyes even more obvious. Her eyes are only sort of in the direction of the screen because she is holding the brochure in her other hand, flipping it over to see if there is any more explanation for whatever god had the audacity to pull her away from what she was supposed to be. And only a god would have that ability because there was no way any humans even in large numbers could have managed the task against her will.]This is unacceptable.

[Gaze lifting from the device in her hand to the surrounding city the Queen looks... annoyed. Which isn't the best mood to have her in but isn't all that uncommon either.] Handmaiden. [Now that sounds more like a demand than a randomly thrown out word. And it is. She's calling for the Leanansídhe and is even more annoyed when the woman does not appear. She'd call for her Knight if she thought he wouldn't run the other direction just to be difficult, he generally had to be suborned into service. Her eyes narrow as she steps out onto a street with passing people and they barely seem to pay her any mind which is not common at all.] Creatures of this demesne, explain.

[And that's about the time things start going frosty all around her, it even crackles into the edges of the screen, icing up trees behind her and something cracks as it freezes so quickly then explodes in a shower of ice shards and wood. One of the lower branches of a tree off to her left side.]

[Well Mab, you have weirded out a fifteen year old girl, I hope you're happy.]

Yeah, it's one of the reasons I thought it would be cool to live there, but I'm not sure if I'd actually use it anymore.

[There was this whole thing where she got kidnapped and nearly drowned, it has her rethinking the whole swimming thing.]

Yep, I guess we will.

[There is a difference between joy and satisfaction. Mab is satisfied.]

And what has changed your interests?

[Ruby thought it might be best to avoid talking directly about her "wonderful" time being kidnapped at the moment.]

W-well I had this really long cold bath near the end of last year and well... Let's just say it gave me my fill of large bodies of water for a good long while.

You had a cold bath. [I'm so sorry Ruby, she kind of thinks you're touched in the head now.]

Y-yeah-Imeanno! Well... It's a whole lot more complicated but kind of sorta.

[Mab, she probably is a little touched in the head.]

[Now she's starting to look annoyed again.]

[Aaaand she's just fixing Ruby with that cold, annoyed look, cat slit dilating slightly which makes them look even more inhuman. Mab is not used to having to be patient.]

[That is one frightening look.

Ruby's just going to take a nervous step away from her.]

S-sorry! I'd really just rather not talk about it... Is that okay?

One ought not bring up those things they wish not to speak of. [Which means Mab is going to go easy on you for now.]

Tell me, how far is this place.

Right, sorry. I'll keep that in mind next time. The pool was the more important part of that anyways.

It's not very far, about another block or two. You aren't getting tired, are you? do you need to take a break?

I am not tired. [Mab turned her head a little and looked forward again. Mostly she's just thinking walking is inconvenient and a very... slow mode of travel.]

And what is it that you do, Ruby? Here and at home.

Alright, uh... Well I was just checking.

What do I do? Well... Back home I was going to school to become a Huntress, so I could fight monsters and protect people. Here... Well I kind of still have to go and get a job. I never showed up for the one that I got at the job fair, so I don't think I still have that job.

I'm pretty fast, maybe I'll start a delivery service?

[She takes that in and lets it mull for a bit before responding]

And what manner of skills does a huntress posess? Is your speed abnormal for a human?

Well it kind of depends on the person, but pretty top notch fighting skills to fight off the Creatures of Grimm. They pack us full of knowledge on history too.

Abnormal? Uhmm... Maybe a little, everyone where I'm from has a special skill though, mine just happens to be that I go pretty fast.

And what are creatures of Grimm?

[She sounds basically like a human who has taken classes on fighting and perhaps taken track and field.]

Oh them? You know, soulless monsters that kind of pretty much infest my entire world.

[She might need to work on how she explains these kind things.]

Do you call monsters with souls something else?

[Asks a soulless monster.]

Uhmm...

[Give her a second the gears are turning.]

...I honestly haven't met one with a soul, so I'm not really sure. I guess just a monster?

[She's got nothing.]

What is the Purpose of these Grimms?

[So many answers always leading to more questions.]

[She shrugs, she doesn't really know what they're after.]

Uhmm... To wipe out humanity? That's all I know really.

They also like being big and scary, or sometimes not so big but still kind of scary.

[Hmm, perhaps she is missing something.]

Does humanity threaten them in some way?

I don't think so. I mean we can fend them off, but we have like four cities and they have the rest of the world.

[...She's just a kid, she doesn't know how the world works.]

Are there others from your world here?

Yeah there's a few of us, about ten the last time I checked.

...I guess you wouldn't know if there anyone from your world here yet, would you?

And do they also have impressive speed?

I have not yet met everyone who is here. [That doesn't mean she doesn't know there are people from her world here. But she doesn't see any need to clarify.]

Well they aren't particularly slow by any means, but I'm pretty I'm the fastest of the bunch.

Give it some time and I'm sure you'll meet everyone you need to! Hopefully you have a few friends from around here.
