[Upon the screen is the ever-so familiar Bay, accompanied by the voice of a young girl...] "...By these instructions, this should be working..."

[The camera shifts and brings into view a blonde, blue-eyed child who is dressed to belong to high society. Like any child would, she looks quite distressed.]

"...If any can hear me, I am looking for any one friendly who can help me find my friends... I do not know where I am or how I arrived here, but I am in a cave of sorts... If anyone is out there, please help me."

[The device is lowered slightly, but remains on with her face still partially in view. The movement of the background suggests she is pacing around nervously now.]

Yes, it is. I had my 12th birthday a few months ago.

[Has it been a few months? She has no idea how long she's been asleep in one of those pods.]

Then there should be a place that will accept you. It just recently opened and it;s a place for young children, like yourself to stay. Would that be a better choice?

"Like...myself? So, I might have friends my own age...?"

[This is such a tempting offer. She had only two close friends and they were four years younger or five years older. However, there was one vital thing she needs to ask now, and she can only hope Yuna doesn't find it too weird.]

"Miss Yuna, what is the climate like here...? Is it hot?"

Maybe. One doesn't know until one tries and finds out.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Well... It varies depending on the season. I think it will get warmer during this season if I can recall. Summer is always a hot one. Why do you ask?

[Anastasia takes a few moments to recall her history and compile to be short, sweet and to-the-point.]

"Well... My people adapted and evolved for a winter climate. We cannot handle hot weather well without proper accommodations."

So.. you would need something like air conditioning? I think that is the word for it... [She had been here a year and that was something that still baffled her sometimes.]

Maybe if they don't have such a thing, let someone know and they should be able to help.]

[She wouldn't know what that contraption is. Sounds like a weird concept to condition air.]

"I...suppose? In any case, may I trouble you by asking for your help in escorting me to this home for children?"

Ah, I would love to help. It should take me a good few minutes to get there, if you would wait around.

[She wonders how long exactly, but she couldn't be exact.]

[VIDEO]
"Yes, of course I will wait. I will wait however long it takes... I will see you soon, Miss Yuna."

[ACTION]
[Now that help was on the way, Anastasia quietly paced around in the shallow waters of the bay, thinking. If it's summer outside, and it's hot, then she needs to do something to protect herself.
First, the young girl experimented by flipping her cloak up and over head head and took a moment to assess the plausibility. She shook her head and threw it off of her head.
Second, she slowly sinks into the water, holds her breath and lays down, submerging herself but keeping her arms sticking out of the surface to protect the supplies she has. She stays like this for a few seconds before sitting back up for air. With once being enough, she remained half submerged and only peered around, waiting...]

[Yuna had put the device into her pocket as she started to head off. She had been doing simple jobs for the natives in this world and knew that she had the time to stop for the moment to help someone else up with nothing behind it.

After around five minutes or so, she was pretty sure that she had spotted the other. So she gave a small wave before making her way over.]

Hi there, I will now show you to the place I was talking about. Are you ready?

[Anastasia saw the woman approaching her. She remained partially submerged in the water until her voice confirmed it was Yuna. Once she was sure she was soaked enough for the hot weather, she got back on her feet and performed a practiced curtsy for the woman.]

"I am ready. Thank you for taking time to help me, Miss Yuna."

[Yuna had never cursied before, so instead she just gives a small bow back. That was what she was use to after all.]

I have plenty of time right now since work isn't exactly coming in hot and heavy. So if you'll just follow me this way. [She turns around on her heels as she starts to head off.]

[Anastasia started following close by Yuna and listened quietly when the woman started talking about work. However, she really had no understanding of figures of speech.]

"What kind of career do you do that involves a lady such as yourself working with hot and heavy objects...?"

[While the girl spoke, she was watching the bright doorway into the city steadily grow bigger.]

Well... it's different from the work I did back home, but I'm just doing a... odd jobs type business. I help out others but for a price.

[It was vastly different than what she was use to back home. First she had been a summoner and then she was a sphere hunter, then a Guardian and now this. She felt like she was learning with each new job and it made her happy,]

I'm sure with the place I take you to, you won't need to work yourself though... As far as I am aware.

[Deep down, Anastasia felt bad about the idea of not working. Why should she rest and relax when her friends and family are caught up in a world on the brink of war? But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel completely helpless. She was but a child in a strange new world.]

"If you help others in return for payment...does that not mean I should pay you for helping me?"

No, because you didn't request the help through official matter. I offered, so it doesn't count. Besides work wise it only applied really to where my business is, which is in Everglade. Though one day I might expand to here.

[She just wanted to be nice in her mind and this was always a first good step.]

[So far, soaking her clothes in water is protecting Anastasia from the hot summer weather once she was out of the bay with Yuna. She's not feeling sick, weak or any other symptoms of overheating common in her people. At least, not yet. But this does give Anastasia time to take in the sights while still trying to maintain some attention to Yuna.]

"Well, I again thank you...for... ...So this is..." [She struggles with pronouncing the city name and got it wrong.]

You are welcome.

[She soon stops in front of a building.]

Well here we are. This is the place. If you go in and ask they should set you up.
