FIRST [action/video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[The vine flickers on, the image that of a young girl with tears in her eyes, peering timidly at this new technology.] E-excuse me! I-is anyone there?

[A pause, as though she's waiting for a reply, and then she sniffles and continues.]

I d-don't know where I am...or when I am, and...and...

[Whoops, here we go. Meltdown ahoy!]

Wahhhhhh!

action

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ Larry, her store/home being near the necessities and therefore near where new arrivals show up, happens to hear fussing and then crying in the distance. She leaps into action, holstering the gun she was practicing with then hurrying to find the source. ]

Hey!

[ She practically slides next to Mikuru on her knees. ]

I'm right here, don't worry.

[Mikuru stops wailing for just a moment, glancing up at her with tears coursing down her face.]

Wh-who...

[and then she decides it doesn't matter, and buries her face in the nice lady's shoulder, sobbing.]

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ Well she's gotta do what she's gotta do...

Larry wraps an arm around the scared girl, gently stroking her hair. ]

You're gonna be alright... I know it's scary waking up in a strange place, but it's safe.

[ Mostly. But now isn't the time to explain murderplants and robot attacks. ]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Holds tight to her as her sobs slowly subside, then sits back on her heels, wiping at her eyes.]

Y-you promise?

[swarmoflies]

Don't any of you lugs pay attention to what yer superiors say? This is New Settetania! Now quit wailin', I can't stand that racket.

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Tries to silence her crying, covering her face with both hands to contain her sobs.]

I-I'm sorry...

[swarmoflies]

That's better! Keep yer fat trap shut! What's a person with all your tallness doing blubbering like a newborn anyway?

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

I'm not tall.

[The younger girl's blunt manner and the illogicality of her statement seems to snap Mikuru out of her freak-out.]

Dear lovely lady, please calm down. [Holy shit! This girl is adorable. And damn. Nice body, too.] Everything will be okay. I promise.

Re: [Video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Still sobbing, but no longer wailing.]
B-but...I d-don't know where I am...

[I WANT TO HUG THIS PERSON. SHE NEEDS HUGS. LIKE NOW. ...No. How bad of me. You're married for a week. No. Push these thoughts aside.]

You're in the gardens. You'll be fine. We're well taken care of, here.

Re: [Video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Not quite reassured.]

B-but..where...The gardens?

[Trying and failing to process this new information.]

[video]

[nuclearqueen.livejournal.com]

H-Hey, don't cry! You're in the Garden. It's...far from home, but you're safe.

Re: [video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

I...I don't.... Wahhhhhhhh!

[She has no idea what to do, and has apparently opted to just sit down and cry.]

[nuclearqueen.livejournal.com]

Come on, please...Listen, can you tell me what's around you? Anything notable? I can come find you, and we can talk this out. I'll help you out, I promise.

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

...[Hiccup.] I'm...I'm outside...there's a big tree...[Sob] I d-don't know where I am...

[Well, there was no way Tsukasa was going to let anyone cry for long. She speaks in a calm manner.]

There is no need to cry. You've just been spirited away to another world.

Re: [video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Can barely hear her over her own wails, so she tries to quiet down and leans closer to the vine, tears still running down her face.]

Wh-who...?

Re: [video]

[bel-donna.livejournal.com]

The woman who brought you here is known as the Queen, no one really knows who or what she is.

The good news is that this place isn't dangerous most of the time. The bad news is you cannot go home.

Re: [video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

O-oh dear...[Sniffles, trying to get her crying under control]

A Queen?

[brands.livejournal.com]

Hoo boy.

Hey, kid. Calm down. You're gonna be fine.

Re: video;

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Just sitting there sobbing, not listening.]

Wh-why?!

video;

[brands.livejournal.com]

[A sigh. She's not good at this...]

Listen, crying's not going to get you anywhere. You've gotta calm down.

Re: video;

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

I d-don't understaaaaaand!

[Still not listening to the nice lady trying to help.]

[Video]

[heartovertime]

[A younger girl appears in the mirror with a look of concern.

It wasn't that long ago that Homura was in the same kind of situation, so it's easy to empathize with this new arrival.]

Are you okay? [...okay that was kind of a redundant question.]

You're not alone here. Don't worry...
