Video/Action

[Waking up in such a alien place was quite jarring. The mere confusion of it all, being locked up in a dungeon and rescued by the oh-so-handsome Lord Marth, and then ending up in another dungeon?

This can't be right at all. She saw her sister, they marched together as soldiers in Marth's army, so how did she end up here? And as for this box with pretty things for a girl? Well, it was just a necklace that caught her eye. Was it an apology for kidnapping a real life Macedonian princess? Minerva and Michalis will not be happy regardless. But first thing's first, she needs to find a way out of this town and back to Marth.

She will be sitting on a park bench with the box of things in her lap and a staff leaning against the bench, messing with the phone. Anyone passing by might wonder what this tiny little thing is doing by herself.]

(Video)

[Eventually she does get it working, broadcasting her sweet little smile.]

"I hope this is working okay. My name is Maria. Can anyone hear me?"

A lot of people can probably hear you.

[Noise was in the background where Chiaki was, but that was because she was currently working.]

This is a very public feed.

[It works! How cool is that? She ought to show this to Minerva and Michalis.]

"Well, how am I supposed to know that if no-one says anything?

Anyway..." [That noise, though.] "...Anyway, has anyone named Minerva or Marth been by here?"

I guess you must be new, right?

[Because how the feed went it was simply a guess. No one who was use to it would do something like that, he was sure.]

Hi, my name is Yugi.

Um...I can hear you.

[A small, golden dragon is sitting in some tree branches, with leaves swaying behind her.]

Oh wow, a wyvern that speaks? What's your name?

[She's seen wyvern riders talk to their wyverns, but she didn't know wyverns could talk back.]

[She nods. Though she quietly ponders that hair style.]

Yes. I woke up in a cave not far from here about an hour ago.

A wyvern? No...I'm a dragon. My name is Liora.

[Minerva's wyvern is bigger than this. Is she really a dragon?]

Liora... Have you heard anyone with the name Minerva or Marth come by here?

[She's a tiny dragon, but still a dragon.]

...Minerva or Marth? No...I don't know either of them...

Oh...

Then, in what kingdom is Genessia in? Macedon? Archaenea? Gra? Dohlr?

Yes! I can, and have. You look new. What's your name?

I've said something now.

[She didn't know how long the other had been here since she arrived.]

Those names are not ones I have heard around here.

Yeah, that usually means you are new when you wake up in the Bay. It's a very strange feeling isn't it?

[If not a creepy one anyway.]

So where are you now?

I don't know. The map says "Genessia" but I can't tell where within.

Also, is this supposed to be some sort of kidnapping? Because if it is, it's rude.

Really? Not even a peep?

Oh well. They'll come find me. Lord Marth rescued me before, he can do it again.

Maria. My name is Maria.

]She just said that.]

Yes, I'm new. I was recently rescued too, so being taken again is rather rude.

I...haven't heard of any of those kingdoms either. From what I understand, Genessia is an entirely different world from where any of us come from.

I come from a continent called Sornieth.

Maria! A fine name. Means "wished for child." Your parents must have been very fond of you.

[It could also mean "sea of bitterness" but let's not go there.]

Ah, well, try not to be too irritated. A desperate measure for a desperate world, perhaps. I'm Ted. How old are you, Maria?

[That's what she believes about her parents. Though, she didn't know her mother well and her father died some time ago.]

Around 12 years.

((OOC: There is no canonically stated age, just speculation based on events over two games and a book.))

The map should have streets and avenues on it as well if it's the Genessia one. Usually you can figure it out by starting where you were, which is the Bay and on the map might seem obvious then figure out where you walked to from there.

Well it is technically kidnapping rearguards because we aren't at home and are here against our will.

Not that I know of and I look at this device now and again.

[She paused.]

Well I hope they do, but you might have a wait.

["Around" 12, huh? Macedon must not be big on birthdays.]

Ah, very young then. Say, why don't you let me escort you to the K&H home for children? You're about that age, and there's a fine young man I could introduce you to if you like. I know it's all a bit sudden, but that's the official procedure for this kind of thing, more or less.

[She was locked away in Castle Deil for a good while on her brother's request, so she kind of lost track of time.]

A fine young man, you say? Is his name Marth? But, of course I accept. It won't be safe sleeping outside in a town I know nothing about.

No, nothing so unfortunate. His name is "Tony".

[Cause "Marth" sounds like a girl's name. For a girl. He doesn't know if Tony will be interested in girls; around that age they tend to make boring playmates for boys. But who knows! He has pets she'll like, he knows that much. He's glad children are so amenable to him. Goodness knows what would happen if some weirdo took advantage of their naivete right off the bat. Perish the thought!]

I'll be along!

[If your escort's not in ten minutes or less, it's free. In a short time, the clown appears at the Bay with a towel.] We're still not entirely sure why newcomers are deposited in shallow pools, but dry off if you need to. Let me know when you're ready to depart.

[There he is. He must've been close by. She had her shoes off, letting them dry off in the sun when he arrived.]

Thank you for coming so quickly.

[She doesn't need the towel. The perks of wearing a robe, it was easy keeping it above the water.]

I'm ready to go now. And will you tell me about Tony?

I can wait. I can wait however long I need to.

[She was locked away in a castle for a few years, after all.]

So it wasn't just me, then? But others as well? Very rude, indeed. I would have words with our captors.

[With any luck, they will be reasonable like Michalis.]

[Too bad.]

I see. I'm from Macedon, and my brother is the new King. Are there other dragons here too?

Hah, what, can't wait for Tony to tell you about Tony? Well, it'll be something for the walk.

[Said walk is sprinkled with helpful tutorials, like the importance of obeying traffic rules. She gave off a medieval vibe. Other than day-to-day practicalities, he leaves off anything too mystical about Genessia. It won't do her much good, for one, and would probably just confuse.]

He's a very hot-blooded young man; "man of action", the phrase goes. He's weak for a pair of pretty eyes, so you'll have to be responsible with yours lest you charm him out of his wits. Ah, don't tell him I said that, of course. He's very plucky, and not one to entertain sorrow for longer than a minute or two. He's not much for cerebral activities, so you may want to think of other gift ideas besides books. Ultimately he's a decent and well-behaved boy, quick to apologize for any sin and obedient to proper authority.

[As far as Ted knows, anyway.]

He sounds like a fine boy, then. I look forward to meeting him.

[Too bad someone else caught her interest. Who knows of Tony will be anywhere near as dashing and heroic.]

Also, if I ever need advice, do I talk to you, or is there someone else that I should see?

Yeah there are many people who have the necklace and device like yourself. So sometimes because of the necklace they are easy to spot.

You must have a lot pf patience, don't you?

Heh, I'm sure he'll like you too Maria. [Dashing, probably not. Heroic? More than Ted knew.]

Oh, sure. I'm ever at your disposal, dear, and lived here longer than most. Feel free to ask out all the wisdom I've got. Here, I'll put myself in your phone for future reference.

[With little ceremony, he motions for her phone to do just that.]

Oh, er, that reminds me. Not to put a damper on things, but there are...mm...these things called "subarchways". To keep a long story short, they're fake. Utterly false. They contain naught but substantial illusion. Please, as much as you can, avoid partaking of them in any way, shape, or form. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I knew you were in contact with that kind of solid lie.
