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

[ 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.]

[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...

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.]

[swarmoflies]

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

[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. ]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

You've been... well, kidnapped, sort of. To this weird world. By someone calling herself The Queen.

Uh-um, but it's really not that bad of a place. It's quite nice here!

Re: [Video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

K-kidnapped?! Why?

[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?

[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.]

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ She releases the girl, leaning back to give her a reassuring smile. ]

I promise. And if anything goes wrong I'll protect you.

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[Looks a little doubtful, but sounds sincere.]

That's very kind of you...

Re: [Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Well, we're not sure. [It might freak her out more to say 'To find a lesbian lover to devote yourself to...] There's no real pattern to who gets brought here, except that we're all women. Many of us are from different worlds or even different times.

Re: [Video]

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

Different times? ...worlds? [Thinking]

[Frowns as a possibility strikes her.]

Have you seen the...the queen? What does she look like?

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ Still looking wholly confident, she holds out a hand to the girl. ]

Name's Larry Vincent. You're in the gardens, and you're gonna be here for a while.

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

Oh! [Rather flustered.]

I'm Mikuru Asahina! [Shakes her hand a little doubtfully, as if not sure that's what she's supposed to do with it.]

Does that mean you've been here long?

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

A couple months, yeah.

[ Handshake was the intent! ]

Hopefully there's like... a time shift between here and home though.

[classifiedmoe.livejournal.com]

[She nods and asks hesitantly]

Has anyone managed to make it home?

[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.
