[It's calmer here, so much calmer than it is back home. She wanders here. It's hard for her to sleep, and she's restless. When she'd seen the notice on the Vine, she'd decided to investigate, making her slow, halting way to the Isle of Antikythera. Why not? The robots there make her smile, if only a little, and she thinks of how Sakura and Rin would like to see them. Her smile fades.

Kariya can't catch a break. Food isn't the easiest thing for her to deal with, but a cup of mint tea strikes her as an innocuous enough choice. She likes tea, and mint is one of her favorites.

It's an excellent cup of tea, too, perfectly sharp and sweet and refreshing, and she sincerely enjoys it. It's only after she's finished that she starts to feel a chill. At first, she ignores it, but within minutes, she's begun shivering, and it's impossible to miss the fact that there's something unnatural about this cold. She pulls up the hood of her hoodie and wraps herself in her own arms. Leaning forward over the table, she closes her eyes.

It's magic, isn't it? Magic. She hates magic. She hates it, and it's everywhere.

She wants it to go away.]

[ Today Miss Zinc is sitting at her kitchen table, surrounded by an assortment of empty jars. There's a rather bemused expression on her face as she asks someone out of sight, ]

Are you sure?

[ A voice that one may recognize replies cheerfully, ]

Aye lass, you just stuff the blasted things in there with a little sprinkle'a salt.

[ Zinc looks unconvinced and turns to the mirror instead. ]

I wanted... to store food, for everyone? But the library is... [ What's the word? ] Useless.

I think... we need help.


[[ooc; Totally late, but Reeve left Cait with Zinc, so here is this \o/]]

[There's a new face on the Vine today. Thankfully, it's a lovely one.]

[Holiday is poking these... vine things, trying to figure out how they work and... what they're doing... It's very curious stuff right here... She's also still dressed in the gown she awoke in and the cat behind her is looking like it might be getting a little annoyed...]

Um... I think... this is on... Hello? Can anyone-?

[She spends a second, looking around at the Vine and wondering if she's being fooled.]

Breach, if this is some weird dimension, I'd like to go home now. The cats and flowers and everything really is nice, but... Well, I should really be home. Rex is going to be worrying, you know.

[... Excuse her while she thinks she's been kidnapped and sent into a pocket dimension...]
