 [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?

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.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I can't stay here.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

We don't seem to have a choice in the matter. Believe me, if could leave, I would.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[There is a long pause as Ai looks at her. She's trying to crush down the slow rising panic.]

Why are we here?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Also part of the aforementioned mystery.

However, I can say that the person who seems to be in charge is less than sane.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Why do you say that?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

She wanted to create stars for the night sky here, but made so many that she made it too bright.

You'd understand more if you spoke to her.

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Nods]

I see.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

So tell me Miss Emma...what exactly is the purpose-slash-nature of a Hell Girl?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[She blinks and her tone suddenly gets more ... official, as though she's made this speech many time before.]

If you truly wish for vengeance, you can enter into a contract with me and I will send the soul of your tormentor straight into the depths of Hell.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, one of those. [She speaks like she's seen something like that a million times. This is probably not true.] And the nature of that contract is?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

I will send your tormentor to Hell.

However when you die, your soul will also belong to Hell.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

So you're just a contractor to facilitate hell getting a steady supply of souls. What for, I wonder...

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Yes. That is my role as the Hell Girl.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

And I see why you can't be here now. I don't think it's possible to reach hell from here...any hell.

Except maybe the usual way, but even then...

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Probably not.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Would you perhaps like something to drink, Miss Enma?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

.....

Yes?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Alright. A good thing I prepared for this; tea is so hard to find here.

[Yukari pops back in her gap for a moment before reappearing on the ground, all there, along with two hot cups of tea. She holds one out for Ai]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Takes it]

Thank you.

Have you been here long?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Only a few weeks. But I believe I was one of the first ones taken here.
