01 - Arrival [Action/Video]

[wizard_redfive]

[Action]

[Anyone near the Bay this afternoon is likely to hear shrill shouting coming from inside. The newest arrival had an extremely bad day yesterday, and waking up somewhere other than her bed has sparked a tantrum. Those outside might catch parts of the rant as her voice gets louder. “Powers… if this is another castle… I’ve had enough!!”

Others are welcome to investigate, though it might be wise to approach with caution. Inside they will find a young red-headed girl standing in the water of the Bay. She gestures her arms wildly as she yells, seeming to be focusing her rant towards a silver laptop sitting inside the pod she woke up in.]

[Video]

[After Dairine calmed down enough to read the pamphlet, the video feed switches on. Her expression is still rather cross, but she will try to be civil. After all, she knows the people watching this are probably in the same situation as herself.]

So... “Genessia,” huh? Let me guess: I won’t be able to travel further than a certain distance, certainly not off planet, and there’s no way of telling when I’ll be sent back home. I haven’t noticed anything missing, so there's no obvious arrival fee. Unless it’s a memory… And this... [She taps on the screen.] ...serves as our communication device. Well, I suppose it's a step up from a journal, but I'd still rather not go through this a second time.

[Dairine runs her fingers through her hair absentmindedly.] Ah, while I'm at this... sorry to anyone I might have worried after I arrived. I wasn't exactly pleased with the situation, so I might have made a bit of a scene.

I get most of our situation now, but if there are any details not mentioned in the usual briefings, I wouldn't mind hearing them. There's just one thing I really want to know...

Please tell me time stops back home while we’re here.

I'm sorry you're having to go through all of this again.

[wizard_redfive]

Thanks. [Dairine appreciates the sympathy, though she won't quell on it for long. Well wishes won't change her situation. ]

How long have you been here?

[zorro]

[ he can respect that, and even understands it. how many situations had he been in that were unfair and unchangeable? far too many. ]

Not long, that I seem to have had a poorly-timed entrance.

[ showing up in the middle of the chaos that was plaguing certain regions was distressing, to say the least. especially when it had nothing to do with himself or usagi. that was a first. ]

[wizard_redfive]

[That catches Dairine's attention.]

How so?

[zorro]

I arrived during the chaos that was plaguing certain parts of this world earlier in the month. We were fortunate enough to get to safety before were affected by any of it.

[wizard_redfive]

Hold up -- you had to get to safety? What kind of chaos are we talking about?

[No one had mentioned there being threats here, though then again, it wouldn't be too surprising. The castle had no lack of danger.]

[zorro]

The sky opened up and some sort of spirit was attacking parts of Genessia.

[ he didn't have all the details, and would've rushed to help had he any inkling of what was going on at the time. jumping into a fight where you weren't sure what side you were supposed to be on, nevermind how to combat the apparent foe, was never a good idea. ]

[wizard_redfive]

Huh.

[Well, that was food for thought. Did he mean the literal sky or the barrier that she noticed surrounding the city? Had the spirit been defeated? He didn't sound too sure about the events, so Dairine might have to ask around for more info.]

Does that sort of thing happen often?
