001 [Action]

 [There is a small girl looking around. She doesn't seem overly panicked, but she does seem a little confused. You might see her disappear and then reappear in the same spot. 

Her teleporting doesn't seem to be working that well either. ]



....Why isn't it working?

Why doesn't anything work?

[Wait, why is only her upper-half floating in the air?]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Glances up. She doesn't seem phased.]

How do I leave here?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

That is the ontological mystery, isn't it?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I am Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of borders. Yourself?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Ai Enma, the Hell Girl.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you Miss Enma. [Totally does not react to that second part]

I imagine getting back to your home would be quite difficult. Especially since we are in a different world entirely.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Nods. She can be polite sometimes. Actually she's more at ease after you said you weren't human.]

You as well.

Are we...Do you know what world we're in?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

The locals, such as they are, call it "the Gardens". I would say it's a pocket universe of some sort.

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

Why isn't what working?

[Ah, wait - Maria's just seen her disappear and reappear. Now she knows.]

If you're trying to escape, then you're out of luck. There's no way out of these Gardens, even by teleportation or flight; we're all stuck here whether we like it or not.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Looks over at her. Her face is blank of almost all emotion, but a new uncertainty is there now]

I need to return.

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

I have to get back to my own world as soon as I can, too. To think that we haven't found so much as a hint as to get out of here so far... [She frowns, not disguising her frustration.]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

No one knows why we're here?

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

We don't know for sure just yet. The so-called Queen of Hearts claims it's important to her, and something was said about "anchors" soon after I arrived here, but we've had next to no other information on why we've all been dragged here.

I will look into it, though. I can't stand not knowing what I've been pulled into.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

If you need any help...

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

[Maria smiles]

Thanks. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. I'll pass on anything I find out to you, as well.

The name's Maria Traydor. You?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Ai Enma.

I will do the same.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Another teleporter?

Well, that's another way to get out that doesn't work. I think you're limited to teleporting within this world.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Glances over]

It seems like it.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Well worth a shot, though.

My name is Anna Lin. I'm a prisoner here, like you - just been here longer, about two weeks.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

I'm Ai Enma.

Do you know why we're here?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to figure that out since we arrived. There aren't any hard facts on her motives, only speculation.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

I see.

What is the speculation so far?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

So far?

That we're a harem.

That this world ended, and the Queen trying to revive it with us.

That the Queen isn't really the power behind this place, and is being manipulated.

That she's trying to create an army to take on the Wild.

Any or all of the above, really - or things we haven't thought of yet.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Are there many people here?
