genessia | ( VIDEO )

[It's been some time since Belle has used the phones video function. She has been going through the motions of each day, spending her free time with her nose stuck in a book. She is sure that there is adventure here but loss has made her confidence waver ever so slightly.]

Hello everyone, for those I do not know, my name is Belle. [She spoke in soft warm tones.] I don't know any of the man's acquaintances but Gaston is no longer here. [Belle can't say that she misses him but the single thread that she had from home had suddenly vanished and with him she felt thin shreds of hope slip between her fingers. Belle knows that some people have been in Genessia for a long time, perhaps she should get used to loss.]

That said I am also looking for somewhere to take a vacation. I know that there are several smaller archways attached to the main cities but I only know where one of them goes. I'd happily take any suggestions.

[She flashes a quick smile at the screen before inclining her head in a soft bow.] Thank you.

"Hello Miss!" Have a tiny green cute thing. "We're always accepting visitors in old hell." That sounds like a really bad place for a vacation when you say it like that.

"It's really pretty and it's not dangerous at all if you stay in Chireiden or the Ancient City. Just don't pick fights with the Oni. But you seem human so they won't go out of their way to bother you."

"It's snowy everywhere and there's a lot to see. Chireiden has lots of art and a big garden and the ancient city has all sorts of fun things to see and do. And then there's a glowing lake and dunes made of ash and other strange things in the dark. But you shouldn't go alone out there just in case."

"And you could stay in Chireiden if you wanted. There's plenty of room. Sis can be grumpy but she is secretly the nicest person ever." Koishi this is a public video! "Also sis has lots of pets and they love people!"

People go all the time. My little bro used to be here but he left. Handful of others too. Sorry about your friend. [he knows how it is] I can take you through the dungeon if you like.

[the best way to cure sadness in his experience is either throwing a party or throwing yourself headlong into the most dangerous situation you can find and trying to survive it]

[ Small frown: ] This guy was a friend of yours?

I would suggest New York. I went there recently myself and it was a lot of fun.

I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry.

[Now, she's hurting and he's tired of hurting and tired of Rose hurting]

Why don't we go check the other archways together?

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. He was a fine wrestler; I'd liked ot have learned him a thing or two more in the art.

If your heart's not set on archways exclusively, I've alternative ideas.

[Cause they're fake and he doesn't understand why anyone would want to visit those]

Hell. It's nice to meet you. [Belle can't help but smile at this girls enthusiasm.]

It sounds like a lovely place. I'd love to visit. What sort of pets do you and your sister have?

A dungeon?

[She asks curiously.]

What kind of dungeon.

Sort of. Actually, he isn't much of a friend but he'd been from the same place as me. It was nice to have someone I knew here.

New York? I don't think I've heard of it.

Where is it?

It isn't your fault but thank you.

[She smiles affectionately at Ten.]

I'd like that. Where would you want to meet?

Alternative ideas? Such as what?

[Belle is open to suggestions.]

How often do people just ... vanish?

I don't know. This is the first time it's happened to me personally.

... That sucks.

[ Looks a little regretful on her behalf, honestly. ~~Even though Gaston was a type who Shinjiro would want to punch.~~ He was thinking about his own friends, recently arrived, getting suddenly whisked away again. ]

I guess ... he's at least at home, now? Unless he hated it there.

[ Or if he'd been dead, like Shinjiro. ]

I'm sure he's alright. He was more equipped for life where he is and now I don't have to worry about him.

[She exhales a slow breath.]

I admit, he isn't someone I thought I'd miss but it's nice seeing people from home.

Hmm.

[ He's lucky that the people who came here, recently, were his friends. He tried to imagine if ...

Wait. Wasn't it pretty selfish of him, to want his friends here in the first place? They had their own lives. Shinjiro sighs. ]

Yeah, but. [ Reluctantly ] He's probably happier.

Probably, yes.

[She smiles softly.]

It's a little selfish of me. Isn't it?

[ His frown softens, disappears. ]

Well. It's also pretty normal, I think.

[ Normal to be lonely, he almost, but doesn't say. ]

I guess so.

[She doesn't want to be selfish.]

"All different kinds!" Koishi waved her arms. "She has cats and dogs but also more exotic things. Like snakes and birds and bigger cats!" Bigger cats?

"They're all really friendly as long as you don't go out of your way to hurt or pester them a bunch. Also there's Scribbles. He's a raccoon and he will steal shiny things out of your pockets if you're not careful."

[ ... shit. ]

Look. You're probably. Lonely, I'd think. Havin a little piece of home ... people are wired to want that. It's as natural as breathin.

That sounds like more than I'm used to. [Belle admits with a smile.] You see, before I was here I had a small farm with chickens, ducks and a horse.

[Nothing so big and fancy.]

Please excuse me. My name is Belle.

[Belle smiles kindly at the screen.]

I am. I'm sorry. I don't want you to worry about me. I'm sure everyone is feeling a bit of it after suddenly arriving somewhere new.

[ Shrugs. Lies: ] 'M not worried. But you shouldn't beat yourself up.
