( o n e ) audio + video

( an airy voice comes on, sounding as if still in the middle of a daydream )

So we're on a giant turtle then? The shopkeeper who gave me directions explained it to me...maybe he's Ton-chan's great, great, great, great, grandpa or something! Oh yeah, Ton-chan is a pseudo soft-shelled turtle! His nose looks like a little pig snout.

I wish I could have bought him with me - he would have probably liked to meet umm...what did they call him again...hmmmm.....well, I'll call him Mister Ton-chan for now I guess.

( it cuts off for a few minutes. when it turns back on, it's video now and a very fearful and serious yui can be seen )

Has anyone heard from my friends? Mio, Mugi, Ritsu, and Azu-nyan? Mister Ton-chan is so big and I don't know how I'll find them...( she begins to cry ) I just hope they're okay.

Shh, you don't have to cry. They might not be here with you, but if they are, they're bound to see this post of yours.

( she calms down a bit. it helps that it's a kind face )

So everyone gets one of these computer things?

That's right! Each suite has one, and some of the cafes have consoles, too.

But if they're not here, then they're safe at home.

There are so many trees here! I guess I better start searching for them if they're here!

Oh yeah! I'm Yui by the way!

I guess that means you're in the Wood Sector? There are five in total.

It's nice to meet you, Yui. I'm Annabeth.

[ oh look it's the one sight the Doctor can't bear to see! someone crying...

SO OF COURSE HE MUST SAY SOMETHING ]

There's no need to cry. I'm sure there's plenty of ways for you to try and contact your friends!

( when a madman with a box comes around, who could continue crying )

But how would I find them? Mister Ton-Chan is huge!

[ exactly!! so turn that frown upside down ]

That he might be, but worry not! I'm sure it's possible to make our way around the entire turtle if we start our expedition now.

[ pause because it occurs to him almost like an afterthought. ] Of course, it's possible they might just see this post of yours.

We could break some doors down if anyone's kidnapped them in their rooms too! No one'd be able to hide them from us!

Breaking them down might cause them to notice. What we need is to be covert!

[ nevermind that he can never do stealth very well ever. he waves around his sonic screw driver ]

It'll open any any door, anywhere, anywhen. [ ... ] At least, as long as it's not wood.

I don't think any of them have come here, yet. That means that they are back home and likely just fine.

[This? Is Damian without some of his edge. His voice is almost careful, really.]

But how come they couldn't come with me too? We always go places together!

( she asks genuinely. she can't explain it but she's a little hurt. )

[aonethunsatoehua don't cry...]

Sometimes, the process isn't well controlled... [he trails off. Probably not a good idea to use long words.]

Sometimes, there are mistakes. I'm sure they will get fixed.

What are your friends like?

I hope they get to come here too. It's sort of like being on vacation!

Hmm...well there's Mio-chan who's really shy and Riichan who's super energetic. Mugi-chan always has her head in the clouds but is always there to help and serve sweets. Azu-nyan is responsible and she's small and cute, just like a kitten! I love giving her hugs.

( it's nice talking about them. familiar ground is good, but there's still that tone of sadness. )

Uh... vacation or not, you'll be careful out there, right? Most of the people here are friendly, but some are not really happy that we're here, and they can be dangerous. If somebody is giving you trouble, there are people here who try to protect each other, just let people know, using the console, all right?

[He isn't really interested in her friends - he actually asked so that, in case he runs into them, he can recognize them and get them to her. But... he can fake it. (Plus, he sort of asked the wrong question, didn't he.)]

I... see. My name is Damian. If you can't find food or sweets here that you like, I could help.

[WHAT AM DOING but children...]

[DEM HONORIFICS. OMG fellow Nihon-jin!] O-Oi, it's alright! If your friends are around, they'll contact you, right? But, uh...they also might not be. They might be back home. But if they are, they're safe and all! I guess time doesn't pass back home while we're here.

( YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IN THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN )

Oh! So they're stuck on the plane going back to London! Maybe it is better I'm here...

Edited 2012-09-27 04:39 (UTC)

Yeah...something like that! I think the point is that when we go home they won't have missed us cause no time will have passed.

Are you...?

[ No, Cloud, don't finish that question, of course she's crying. ]

They should be fine. Just worry about yourself for now.

( she calms down a bit, but hasn't stopped crying entirely. just enough to talk to him )

I-Is there anything here that I should be scared of?

You don't want to be scared. [ He keeps his eyes averted for the most part--trying to give some notion of privacy (or just that bad at dealing with crying)--but for that first bit he looks at her, hoping to show he's sincere. ] It's... like any other city, in a way. There's problems with crime in some areas; you shouldn't go out late at night. That's all.

[Ororo is bemused by the display and latches onto the first thing that caught her attention.]

Ton...-chan? That's not really what people have been calling it when they talk to me.

( there's a quick change in mood by yui because ton-chan is always a happy topic to talk about )

Hehehe I couldn't remember what the people told me it was...but it looks like my club's pet turtle except so much bigger! I feel like I'm in Ton-chan's dream or something.

[ Hey, let's focus on the turtle, because the newbie at least sounded... not so freaked out when she was talking about that. ]

They call it Tu Vishan. The giant turtle, I mean. [ She holds up her own little stone carving of Tu Vishan from the festival so she can see. ]

I'm guessing you just got here, then? Wherever your friends are, I'm sure they're fine. If they're here, they'll find you, and if they're not, then they're still safe back home.
