[A purple-haired girl who looks incredibly tired appears on the video this afternoon, which is only accentuated by her yawning before she even begins to speak. She also gives the screen a poke. She also appears to be wearing pajamas.]

...I thiiiink it's on. Neppy? Histy?

[A pause.]

Noire...? Is this some kind of prank? I don't like it.

[This clearly isn't anywhere she's ever been. She's pretty sure of that, anyway.]

I just want to go back to my nap...

Comments

[spacepeterpan]

[Have a fellow with silly hair, a bow-tie, and a tweed jacket, smiling quizzically at the new arrival.]

Ah, no, not any of them, but I'm the Doctor, hello, welcome to Genessia, not a prank I'm afraid, well, probably not, did you happen to watch the hologram where you woke up, by any chance?

...and, sorry, don't think I caught your name.

[plutie]

The Doctor?

[Okay, so at least there's an NPC here she can talk to if she gets sick or something. That's what Plutia thinks, anyway.]

Oh...that? I got bored. [That would be a no.]

I'm Plutia!

[spacepeterpan]

Haha, yeah, well, can't blame you, might want to give it a go anyway, though. Bit dry, but may be useful to know what it's got to say. Meanwhile, Plutia, welcome to Genessia, probably want to work out where they've given you to stay and all that, do let me know if you need a hand, I'm here to help.

[...probably not about to disabuse her of the NPC illusion, there, but...]

[plutie]

I don't wanna. Lectures are so boooooring.

[The girl lets out a soft huff. Followed by a tilt of her head, her expression rather confused. Apparently the situation hasn't entirely sunk in yet.]

...but I can just go back to the Basilicom. Right...?

[spacepeterpan]

Can't really say you're wrong, but they are sometimes helpful. Sorry, though, not so sure that you can.

[A brief pause.]

...actually, where is this--y'said "Basilicom," yeah? Where's that, then?

[plutie]

In Planeptune!

...but there's one in Lastation too.

[A hum.]

...probably Lowee too.

[spacepeterpan]

Ahh, yes, of course, right.

[He nods in understanding, then glances aside.]

...no, sorry, no idea where any of those are, Planeptune, anything to do with Neptune, the planet? I know that one, near Earth, very nice shade of blue.

[It's a color he's rather fond of, after all, helps to make it memorable.]

[plutie]

Oh, no. Planeptune is my country. There's more purple than blue, though.


Aaaaaaand I'm its goddess. One of them. Neppy is too.

You can technically go back to napping when you get to the place you get when you first arrive. At least until you have to actually get your own place or find a roommate.

[plutie]

But the pod thingy is gone...

[She hasn't figured out where she's supposed to go from here.]

Neppy is my roommate though.

video;

[gamerrep]

That's not the thing I was on about if you go to the welcome center you get a place to stay at until you get your own apartment.

[She tiled her head slightly.]

Whose Neppy? Are they a friend who was already here?

video;

[plutie]

What welcome center?

[She is genuinely just lost and confused. And tired.]

...I've never been here before though. Neppy is my best friend. But I think Noire is too.

video;

[gamerrep]

I guess the hologram doesn't say anything about the welcome center, which is odd since it;s usually the first place people should really go to when they first arrive.

Unless you are of a certain age then it's the Home for Children.

video;

[plutie]

Oh, I didn't listen to that. It was so boriiiiing.

I'm an adult though.

video;

[gamerrep]

Then the welcome center is where you would need to go you should also get a place to stay at for the first month, but you'd need to be able to work or have a roommate after that first month.

video;

[plutie]

I don't want to work though.

[It's hard enough convincing her to do a few simple quests.]

[ Video ]

[pianola]

I've determined, though my own observations, this isn't a prank.

[ She seems very calm. ]

[ Video ]

[plutie]

Are you sure?

[Blink. Blink.]

...then what is it?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

We've been taken.

It's a kidnapping.

[ Video ]

[plutie]

Oh...that's mean!

[A pause.]

Do you know who did it?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

No.

[ A pause. ]

I'm sorry.

I think we're going to be here for a while.

[ Video ]

[plutie]

Liiike a few hours?

[Oh, Plutia. She just doesn't get it.]

That wouldn't be too bad...

[ Video ]

[pianola]

Perhaps a few hours.

More likely several months.

Perhaps even a few years.

[ Her expression is still blank and calm. As if this doesn't affect her at all. ]

[ Video ]

[plutie]

Really...?

[She doesn't really sound convinced though.]

[Video]

[youfool]

No, it's all very serious, I'm afraid! Well, not to say that it isn't funny. Goodness, Genessia can bring people where merely looking at them could bring you to comedic tears.

Oh, ah, sorry, almost rambled there for a second. Anyway, I'm Ted. Welcome to the world! Genssia, that is. What's your name?
