*A quizzical face appears through the vine, but the other thing about her that is even more apparent than her face is her choice of dress. Despite the fact that you can only see her shoulders it's impossible to distinguish her headband and attire as anything but a maid's uniform.*

Excuse me, is Shiki-sama there? I am looking for Shiki-sama, head of the Tohno household. If anyone has met with him I request that you tell me right away.

*Seeming deep in thought, the girl frowns a bit more.*

Also, any information on this place would be appreciated as well. I thank you for your time.

[my dead inside voice let me show you it]

Boys are not allowed here.

*Is this a stoic competition?*

May I ask you to elaborate, Miss?

[BRING IT ONNNN]

They simply aren't. I don't know why- nor do I really care. If you look around for yourself, you'll see that it's just girls here. [there's a glimmer of suspicion in her gaze as she looks Hisui up and down, sizing her up] And adults, I suppose.

*IT'S BROUGHT.*

... I understand. I thank you for telling me. I suppose in that case it is useless to look for Shiki-sama any further. *Is that a bit of melancholy? Maybe.*

Yes, it would be. [wow so unhelpful] You should also know that there's a Queen here. She's rubbish, of course, yet apparently dangerous.

If you're looking for a male, you won't find him here. The rest of your fellow kidnappers are all female in design. Sorry.

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

That is... unusual.

video

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

It is, but the person responsible for bringing us here tends to deal exclusively with unusual things.

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

Do you have an estimate of how many other females there are here?

video

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I would venture between seventy and one hundred. People come and go, so it's hard to keep track and I don't think anyone has bothered doing a census any time recently.

[ Oh... she doesn't like being the bearer of bad news. ] ... He might not be here. I'm sorry.

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

I am aware of this possibility.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

B... But-- maybe we could still look for him. Maybe Queen-san let him come with you.

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

Has the Queen been kind to you, miss?

video;

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... Yes. [ she's let madoka be with her friends that she wouldn't be able to be with otherwise... ]

[video]

[tookupthesword.livejournal.com]

... Sorry. That Shiki of yours isn't here, since only girls can be here.

But I can try and help with anything you want to know.

[video]

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

That is rather strange, but thank you for notifying me.

Does this place have a name?

[video]

[tookupthesword.livejournal.com]

Well, I say 'can' but I think it's more 'are brought here'.

... Gardens?

[video]

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is obvious a conscious choice... I wonder why?

That will be an easy to remember name, at least. Thank you, miss.

[video]

[tookupthesword.livejournal.com]

... There are some guesses about that.

You're welcome... but I think I'm too young to be a miss.

Only women are permitted here, as you've more than likely found. [ says the maid on the other side. ] I apologize for repeating it, surely.

However, I would like to welcome you. It is an unusual place, though it is not so unpleasant. [ ... Most of the time? When you're not around Grell? ]

[ video ]

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

I thank you for your warm welcome. Hopefully I can make the best of my situation.

It should not be too diffuclt. The animals are really quite helpful. [ She tilts her head, still smiling. ] They can bring you food, and guide you. [ 'Cause Sebastienne herself sure isn't doing it. ]

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

*Hisui returns Sebastienne's smile with a small one of her own.*

I have never heard of such intelligent animals before.

I have found cats to be quite clever when they wish to be.
