[When the feed comes on, Leia spends more time fiddling with it than actually saying anything--adjusting the camera angle, inspecting the device, etc. She wants to make sure she's doing this right! This kind of technology is beyond what she's used to. When she's finally satisfied with it, she gives a bright smile.]

Right, sorry about that. [She clears her throat.] So, hi there! My name's Leia, and I'm pretty new here. I can't say that being dragged into some kind of war is my idea of going some place new, but it is what it is, right? Not like I was busy with my own important matters or anything...

[Despite her attempt to remain positive, she kind of tapers off at the end. Being told you're supposed to fight in a war is a big deal!! Even so, she won't let that get her turn down, and after a moment comes back in full force.] Still! From what I can tell, it doesn't seem like we're always in some kind of trouble here. I know it's kind of a silly question to ask, but what do you guys do here in the meantime? I'm up for hearing about anything honestly. As neat as it is living in a tree house, I figure I should find something to do here when I'm not fighting in some kind of war apparently.

... and that's just about it I guess! Thanks for listening, and here's looking forward to any replies.

They have, but no one ever talks about it. But they do live to tell the tale? [He's joking. Sort of.] At the turtle's head... you can kind of talk to Asti, if you're able to do that kind of thing? But it's just so peaceful, and calming there. It's a good place to sit and think.

[It's all very, very special.]

It was a little bit? But not that bad! There were ghosts, but they weren't scary, haunted house ghosts. More like people walking around that wouldn't talk to you.

[soulstoker]

A good place to sit and think... I can't say I'm really good at either of those things, but it sounds like a nice place anyways. [Although it's more like she doesn't really want to sit and think about things right now. She knows she'd only get frustrated.] I'll check it out when I can.

Oh, that's it? People who wouldn't talk to you? It sounds more like any other big city then, y'know?

[witchnotwarlock]

[He nods. Billy is really good at sitting and thinking. Maybe too much, but he can't help it. There's just so much that goes on that he needs to sit and be quiet for awhile.]

Sort of. [He laughs.] I'm from a big city, so I'm used to that. But this was different, way different. You could walk through these people. It was just... wrong. Kind of.

[soulstoker]

Now it's back to sounding kind of creepy... [She frowns thoughtfully. In the end, she doesn't mind having missed out on that.] As for me though, I don't think I could get used to a really big city, but I guess that's because I'm from a small town.

[witchnotwarlock]

It was creepy. But kind of cool, too. People found all kinds of items, and I kept finding these coins on the ground... I wouldn't want to be there forever, but it was something different. [He still had a ton of coins in that bag of his.]

Really? Where are you from?

[soulstoker]

Well, I guess a change of pace and scenery is good for anyone after a while, right?

My hometown's called Leronde. [After seeing the kind of people here though, she's... not really sure if anyone will recognize that.]

[witchnotwarlock]

It is! Trust me, once you've examined every inch of this place, you're going to be hoping the turtle will dive under the sea for a change of pace.

[He wishes he knew it, because that would be a good thing. It feels good, knowing you have other people here who know of where you're from. Even if they're not from the same world.] I'm sorry, I don't know it. But you never know, you know, someone could know it!

[soulstoker]

Yeah? I guess I should try to take my time exploring the place then! I don't want to start wishing for undersea dives too quickly, do I?

Mm, maybe. [She's not so sure about that. Besides...] It'd probably be better if someone didn't though, right? Less people getting kidnapped and all.
