[It's strange, this place—or, at least, the little blonde girl wandering through the Gardens thinks so. But, then again, she hasn't ever been allowed out of the laboratory where she was born—or grown, to put it more accurately, but it's not as though she knows the difference—and no one ever thought it necessary to teach her much of anything about what "outside" might be like. Of course she thinks it's strange, this much color and space and freedom.]

[It's a little scary to suddenly be somewhere new with no idea where she is, of course, but at the same time it's a lot more frightening to be where she was before. After being trapped in the lab for so long with no hope of escaping, finding herself where she is— It's confusing, but at the same time she feels relieved. She pays no attention to the direction she's moving in as she wanders through the trees, taking in her new surroundings with wide eyes.]

[She almost doesn't notice when the footsteps first draw close enough for her to hear. When she does, though, she freezes in place, holding her breath as she listens. They're definitely coming toward her— What if it's someone that's come to take her back?! She makes a panicked dive behind the nearest hiding spot she can find, which, in this case, happens to be the trunk of a particularly large tree. As the sound of the approaching person draws closer, she peeks out ever so slightly from behind the tree to find...]

[It's someone she has never seen before. Which, at least in her mind, probably means it's not someone coming to drag her away again. It's also the first person she has seen in this place so far, so curiosity wins out over fear and she shuffles out from her hiding place. She's a rather pitiful sight, to be honest, rail thin and barefoot and clothed in something that's closer to a smock than a dress.]

H— Hello...?


[ ooc: So, Lambda has been wildcarded into bitty!cyborg mode. Feel free to run into her just about anywhere! As a warning, her past deals heavily with human experimentation and abuse related to such, so those topics are likely to come up somewhere in this post. Replies will be coming from minimurakumo. ]

So so sorry for slow

Like that, yes. [It's not a technology they have in her world, but she is familiar with the theories.]

She was able to bypass your laboratory's security system. Here, you may go wherever you wish, though there are some places that may be dangerous. [She remembers how much she'd wanted her freedom, as a child.]

—Back?

[She sounds openly distressed by the idea, eyes going wide and hands balling up against the trunk of the tree.]

[minimurakumo.livejournal.com]

[She seems to consider that, then slowly nods. She guesses that, technically, the scientists would be worried about her if she disappeared. Even if they wouldn't really be thinking of her wellbeing beyond fear of losing a test subject.]

it's fine! i am equally slow.

Really? Wherever I want?

[She sounds...dubious, more than anything. The idea is completely foreign to her, and frankly seems a little absurd.]

[minimurakumo.livejournal.com]

"Think"?

[It's not like her thoughts and feelings and opinions matter, Sayaka. Gosh.]

[Lambda follows, gathering up the windbreaker with her and clutching it to her chest. She nods when asked if she is hungry, but hesitates at the follow up question.]

"Favorite"...? Um...

[That isn't exactly something she has been encouraged to think about before, and it's not like she's had much in the way of variety or tastiness, anyway.]

Yeah... that thing you do with your brain.

[ Such a kind gesture, picking up the coat like that. Subaru smiles and puts her hands on her hips. ] Well, if you don't know, that's okay! I can just find you lots of things and we can find out that way what you like and don't like. [ Since if there's anything Subaru loves doing for others in her downtime, it's cooking (and, subsequently, eating).

She holds her hand out, either for the girl to take or for her to just know to follow her. ] Come on, Lambda.

[hopelessdreamer]

Okay...well, why don't you want to go back?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

[doihavepanties.livejournal.com]

Ah, I meant back to wherever your home is here, not where you were before. Understand now?

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's correct. The Queen is the authority here, but she allows us to act more or less as we wish within the confines of the Gardens.
