[It's only a few seconds after she arrives that Ahiru reaches out, touching the vine cautiously, then backing away when the mirror came out. Not realizing its function quite yet, she just stares into it for a good moment before sighing and looking around. Then, loudly, she speaks, hoping someone familiar will hear her.]

Mytho? Fakir? ...Rue? I really need someone to explain things to me... If I'm late to ballet class again, Mr. Cat will make me marry him or put me back in the beginner class or yell at me! Lilie? Pike?

The Prince is waiting for me... If I can't get back soon, he won't get the rest of his- [Then, pacing quicker and quicker, she oversteps and trips over her own feet, hitting the ground with a yelp.]

Qua-! [And just like that, there's a hand clamped over her mouth protectively before she breathes a sigh.] That was a close one. [A beat, and then realization.]

But I'm still stuck in a place I don't know with people I don't know and I don't know how to get out and I don't know who this Queen of Hearts lady is and I can't help Mytho and I don't know if Kr- Rue or Fakir or Lilie or Pike or Mr. Cat or anybody else from Kinkan Town is here, and they might be looking for me back home and everyone will be really worried and I can't tell them I'm alright because I'm not there and I don't think I will be very soon because this doesn't like it's near there at all and I'm not really good with directions! [Said like one huge sentence, believe it or not.

[Lulu leans forward to whisper in Ahiru's ear, like a creeper.]

It's fine!

[She screams out loud.]

[Then, she wheels around, seeing the girl behind her.]

You don't look like a ghost!

Re: [Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

Lulu only said she might be a ghost!

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

Hey, you made it seem like you were!

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

Lulu will just have to do it again!

[And she vanishes.]

[She whips her head around, confused and more than a little unsettled.]

[Lulu's laughter gives away her position above, but she doesn't show herself.]

[Ahiru tilts her head up, trying to see where the girl went to this time.]

Don't scare me again!

[Another whisper next to Ahiru's ear.]

Why not?

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

[And another jump!]

Because it's mean!

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

It's funny, too!

[She keeps on laughing.]

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

How is that funny? And how'd you do that, anyways?

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

It's funny because Ahiru keeps getting scared! That other part is a se~cret!

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

Scaring people isn't funny!

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

That's what you think, hehe! It's funny to Lulu.

[And here's a poke to the forehead, Ahiru.]

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

Hey! Stop that!

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

Because I said to and it'd be nice of you if you did!

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

But what if Lulu doesn't want to?

[Action]

[quackery.livejournal.com]

Why don't you want to?

[Action]

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

Because it's funny, obviously! It's not as fun if you don't react, though...
