[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?

[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.

[howherolls]

[ a wane, dry smile ] The power of positive thinking, right?

[dwaggies]

Thaaaaat's right! A positive outlook is a healthy one! And frowning too much will give you wrinkles, you know. [sage nod]

[howherolls]

Anything but the wrinkles. [ Peeta's not sure why, but his normally guarded self is slipping a little. for a second, he feels like he did before the Capitol ]

Sounds like you have a formula people would pay a lot of money for.

[dwaggies]

There is no fate worse than wrinkles! Except maybe grey hair. [She wrinkles her nose and laughs. Getting people to relax and cheer up is one of her greatest talents, of course. Stick with this one, Peeta, and you might start smiling more often!!]

Money? Nah. Happy faces are all the payment I need~

[howherolls]

I think money might be easier.

So you've lost your friend?

[dwaggies]

Sometimes it's easier to smile than hand over some potch, don't you think?

Uh-huh. From the looks of things, she's still back home. Proooobably for the best that way, though~ She's got a country to rule and all that!

[howherolls]

Potch? [ this sounds made up. he has known this woman for five seconds and he already understands that this is entirely possible ]

Right. Queens rule. [ he vaguely remembers that knowledge before history class taught him otherwise ]

So are you her...champion?

[dwaggies]

Potch! [She says this in a very duh tone of voice, until the lightbulb goes off and she realizes, oh yeah, different worlds. Right.] That's the currency where I'm from.

I'm her bodyguard, actually, but a champion sounds a lot more impressive. I might stick with that from now on, thanks~

[howherolls]

It's not a problem. I have a way with words, if you want I can rename your entire civilization.

[dwaggies]

Oh my, such a talented young man! If you can come up with something snazzier than the Queendom of Falena, I'd love to hear it~

[howherolls]

[ he grins ]

I'll write down some ideas in my sketchbook.
