[There is a purple-haired young lady peering at her computer quizzically; for a moment, she says nothing, only stares. She has a basic understanding of how the contraption in front of her works, at least, thanks to the kedan, but it's going to take a lot of getting used to. :|a It's not long before she brushes off her confusion with a bright smile, and waves at whoever might be watching.]

Not my first time visiting a floating community, but I can't say I've ever been on a giant turtle before. I asked Genoh if he could give me a turtle-back ride, once, but I don't think he liked the idea. [huff] And he wasn't nearly big enough to have an entire city built on top of him! Ooh, unless it was a city of ants...

[She trails off, tapping her chin with one finger thoughtfully, but eventually she seems to give up on the idea and moves right along:] Anyway! Important questions about important things - is there a lost and found anywhere around here? I kiiiinda lost my queen, you see, so if anyone could help me find her, that would be great! She's pretty scrawny, brown hair, gets mad when you call her a tomboy, and chances are she is attached to her big brother at the hip. Answers to Lymsleia, but she might get grouchy if you call her anything but "Your Majesty." And she'll be really grouchy if the aforementioned big brother isn't with her, so I should probably find her and keep her company. If she's here.

--Oh! I'm Miakis, by the way~! Even if you haven't seen my missing person, come and say hello! A girl gets lonely hanging out all by herself, you know?

You lost...your queen?

[Just wanted to make sure she heard that right before continuing with this conversation.]

video

[dwaggies]

Yup! She's really short, so she gets misplaced easily.

[backwordscompatible]

[Okay, she's fairly certain that's not how that worked. After all, Robin was short, and she hardly ever--]

[...]

[...know what? She takes it back. That totally worked.]

Well, I can't say I recall seeing anybody by that description. But if she's here with you, I'm sure you'll find her sooner or later.

You said your name was Miakis?

video

[dwaggies]

[See, her logic is totally sound.]

Ah, well, thanks anyway! If I haven't heard her by now, though, she probably isn't here at all. [Which is more upsetting than she's willing to admit, so she just... shrugs it off.]

Yup, Miakis of the Queen's Knights, at your service!

[ what...is this person ]

You...have a lot to say.

[dwaggies]

[amazing is what she is okok]

Do I? I guess I'm a little chatty! What about you? A man of few words~?

Re: video

[howherolls]

Not exactly.

You're taking this well.

[dwaggies]

I'm hearing that a lot today... [i wonder why] But we're stuck here, right? I doubt moping about it is gonna change anything.

[The young mademoiselle seems to talk a great deal of nothing (a city of ants?) and Enjolras pays little attention until the mention of a queen.

Is initial response (anger that anyone should have to mind a Queen at all!) is tempered by the description that follows.]

Pardon me, mademoiselle. Is your queen is a child?

Re: Voice

[dwaggies]

Uh-huh. A very smart child, but she's still young enough that I don't like being away from her for too long. [Ugh, and now she's making herself sad. It's only been a few hours and she misses her queen already!!] Ah, I feel like a mama bird with an empty nest!

Voice

[idealisme]

[Can a child be held accountable for their part in an oppressive monarchy? He writes a quick note on the paper near to him to bring up the matter with his friends.

But of course- he cannot simply leave this conversation so suddenly, even if the woman is not physically with him.]

When did you last see the child? If she is lost you should search for her, not waste your time speaking with strangers.

Voice

[dwaggies]

[Hers is not an oppressive monarchy, okay. At least, not anymore.]

Last I saw her was at home - before I got fished up. I'm kinda hoping she's still there, actually! She's safer that way, probably. Besiiiiiiides, I like talking to strangers! They're all so nice~ And if any of 'em knows where she is, it makes the search that much easier.

[But no one's seen anyone by her description, so things are looking pretty bleak. Sigh. At least she's safe at home. :V]

[fatedchaos]

She... might not be here, your queen. I've noticed that not everyone you know ends up here, but apparently things stop moving back home, so she might be okay. [You are. So helpful. Thanks, Vanessa.]

video;

[dwaggies]

[That is actually sort of helpful. Except it is also sort of confusing. Everything stops moving??? Does that mean everyone at home is frozen in time until she goes back? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY.]

Oooooh, in that case, she won't even notice I'm gone! Can't get in trouble that way!

video;

[fatedchaos]

[It's seriously confusing, but she's seen how time in alternate universes work before, so she's more inclined to believe that it's the truth.]

See, a silver lining. And she's probably better off there than here. Just in case something bad happens.

video;

[dwaggies]

I am a fan of silver linings~

Something bad, huh? I guess anything's possible. [She sighs heavily. It's been a long day, and it's beginning to show.] Still kinda wish she was here, though. I could protect her, and it'd be more fun, too.

[insecrets]

I could keep you company. Girls shouldn't have to be lonely.

video;

[dwaggies]

My, my, what a kind offer. I bet you say that to all the cute girls~

video;

[effective]

He does.

video;

[dwaggies]

Oh, now I don't feel nearly as special~

video;

[insecrets]

It seems that I've been outed, but my offer wasn't a fake one. [Just look at that way those sea green eyes of his sparkle, Miakis.]

video;

[dwaggies]

Straight to the point, I see! Aren't you supposed to send me flowers and buy me dinner first?

video;

[sharpes]

... Okay, somebody needs to cut you off the sugar.

video;

[dwaggies]

No sugar? [OVERLY DRAMATIC GASP OF HORROR!!] Perish the thought, sir!

video;

[sharpes]

Actually I'm pretty sure that thought is exactly what you need. Jesus. Did you eat a confectionary-- ist? Person? Or something?

[CANNIBALISM IS WRONG AND BAD AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.]
