1st ❄ [video]

[The mirror shows what should be a familiar sight by now--a young woman in a white arrival's dress. Except...this one has the wide slit-pupiled eyes and animate ears of...a cat. The gaze she examines the mirror with is intelligent and curious, and she sits back after a moment. Her face sets with determination, the voice issuing from her clear and firm.]

Your Majesty. I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but...if I am the one you truly need, please let these other girls go. They've done you no harm, and their families miss them dearly.

And as far as I understand-- [she looks down for a moment, showing the briefest sign of hesitation.] You've...obtained what you wanted, right? There's no need to continue this any further. And my friends...Veigue...I don't want anyone to come to any more harm.

If you can hear me, please stop this. You're the one with the power to do so.

[her expression isn't pleading; it's almost sad. The mirror seems to take this as a cue to go dark.]

What the hell are you? [She doesn't like the looks of those green cat eyes, and so she doesn't pay much attention to what the young woman is saying.]

Some kinda cat monster?

[she starts. Of all the replies she was expecting, this wasn't one of them.]

Wh--

I'm not a Virus, if that's what you're asking. [she looks troubled, but somehow not offended.] I'm a...Gajuma, of course.

[there's a slight hesitation in the middle of that statement, and her tone seems a little bewildered.]

Uh, I can tell you're not a virus because I'm looking right at you. I'd need a microscope to see one of those.

A Gau-what? Never heard of it.

A..."microscope"? [suddenly, the feeling that they're speaking different languages.]

Never heard of... [well, that explained it. Sort of. But really, who had never heard of a Gajuma? Maybe she shouldn't pry.]

I'm not dangerous, if that's what you're worried about. My name is Claire. Claire Bennett.

Yeah, a microscope--you know, you look through it and it shows you real tiny things you couldn't see otherwise, like germs and stuff. [Oh, right. Probably this chick's from some backwards world without science.]

I'm not worried. I can handle monsters, I just don't feel like dealing with one right now. [She's reassured. Sephiroths and remnants do not talk all polite like that--they're way too arrogant to pretend to be anything else.] So you better behave yourself, Kitty. [She winks; she's really just messing around.]

Name's Reno.

Why would you think you're the one wanted by the Queen?

I've never heard of such a thing before, but it sounds amazing! I'm not sure what it has to do with Viruses, though...they're large and easy to see. They wouldn't be so dangerous otherwise. They're the monsters you should watch out for.

[she laughs a little, despite herself.] If anything, I'd like to help everyone here get home. Even if it means defying the Queen...I understand her word is law, but taking people from their homes isn't right.

I'm pleased to meet you, Reno. Though I wish it were under better circumstances.

[Whoa, why is this kitty-girl so nice? It's weirding her out.]

Oh, there's a monster called a Virus. I get it. Our viruses are tiny and cause diseases, totally different thing. We do have lots of monsters, though, unfortunately.

I'm not gonna argue with you there. I want to go home. I don't give a shit about the Queen either. I heard she's some crazy bitch who wants us to hook up, and supposedly there's no way out.

Nice to meet you too, I guess. Are all the people kitties where you're from?

Perhaps I was mistaken, but when she spoke to me, what I understood was that she was looking for a specific girl to help her. And I was the one she chose, but...

[she hasn't quite figured out that the Queen here and the Queen she means are two different people.]

[she's nice to everyone, okay. Even crazy monarchs that kidnap her.]

Yes, the monsters that plague the countryside are known as Viruses. Though I'm not sure where the word came from...they could easily be called something else in other places.

[hook up? She decides not to ask for the time being. This is all very confusing.]

Oh, no. Gajuma come in all shapes and sizes, and there are Huma like yourself, of course. [an odd thought occurs to her. Was it possible...?]

Are you...not from Callegea, then?

The Queen doesn't seem predisposed to listen to requests.

[ Caprica's voice is just... resigned. Although her expression, on the other hand, is another matter — she's never seen anyone who looks like Claire before, and her eyes are wide and immensely curious. Eventually, she has to say something. ]

I'm sorry, but— do all the people where you're from look like you?

So I'm beginning to realize, but I had hope...

[she sighs a bit.]

There's no need to apologize, but-- [here, she smiles a little.] Well, of course not. Everyone looks different, after all. But I'm guessing that means you've never met a Gajuma before, either?

[so strange, but considering she recently just woke up in a body what wasn't her own, strange is quite relative at this point.]

[ A quick, apologetic shake of her head. ] Some of us have been here for months. It doesn't seem as if she'll be letting us leave any time soon.

[ The name is foreign to her, like hearing a nonsense word, and she purses her lips. ]

No, never.

My inquiries to the Queen have been unanswered, so I'm not exactly sure if she will listen to yours.

[Your mannerly ways are strange to Reno.]

We got all kinds of monsters. Worms with teeth, dragons, giant turtles, floating ugly heads, electric birds, big flying demons--all kinds.

Nope. Never heard of that, either. I'm from Edge, formerly the City of Midgar. [She could perhaps insert some useful information here about everyone coming from different worlds, but she doesn't.] Everybody there's a regular human. Well--mostly.

I think I'm gonna call you Kitty from now on, Kitty.

Sorry, your pleas fall on deaf ears.

I don't think she'll listen, but I'd very much like for her to return everyone too.

And the invasion of the creepy Japanese fetish-people continue...

[those sound like ~~generic RPG monsters~~Viruses to her, but at least they've managed to work through one language barrier, so she's content with that.]

Midgar...? I've never heard of it, but then again, the world is a big place. I never really left my home until recently. I'm from the village of Sulz, in the north.

[she looks more bemused than anything at the last part.] Should I be giving you a nickname, too?

Months? [this is a troubling revelation.] I'm so sorry...I wish there were something I could do.

Where I'm from, there are Gajuma as well as Huma like yourself. But it seems like I'm the first Gajuma many people here have met. [that last sentence comes out a little awkwardly, almost hesitant, in contrast with her usual steady speech.]

I don't understand...how can she ignore her subjects like this?

So I've been told. I just thought...she listened once, so she might listen again.

[she has no clue what any of that meant.]

I beg your pardon?

[~~How could you say such a thing about those completely unique monster designs?~~]

[Reno shakes her head.] Believe me, if you were from my world, you'd have heard of Midgar. It's the capital of the world. Was. Uh, it's still kind of the capital. But you'd have heard of it, no question. We rule everything.

If you wanna give me a nickname, go ahead--I've been given a lot of them over the years. [She laughs.] Some nicer than others. Give it your best shot.

... Come again? I wasn't aware she listened in the first place.
