[she's just hanging out right now. thinking. she's not looking at the video when it comes on]

There's no way to contact the outside world, yeah? I just would like to wish my sisters a happy Christmas. I hope they are alright... Not that I'm worried about them, or anything. They're strong, like me!

...But still.

.......

Yes, really. [srs]

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ She is stunned. ]

How can that be?

[britainsbiscuits]

[shrugs] Unfortunately, it is difficult to explain, and even more difficult for people I don't know to comprehend. My colleagues and I represent the countries of the world. We grow weary when our economy is bad, we celebrate when we win wars. But mostly, we live to protect our people.

So wait, you're like an... ah, what's that word? [ Subaru gives up a thoughtful hum as she thinks back to some things she had learned as part of her magic training. ] Erm, an "avatar", sort of?

[britainsbiscuits]

[thinking] ...I suppose that will do. Avatar.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

This is kind of hard. [ She scratches her head. ] It must be really difficult for you.

[britainsbiscuits]

[sighs... and then tries to give Subaru a comforting look. England knows it's not her fault] Well, yes. Most of the time, it is. But it can also be very rewarding.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

It is? [ Forgive her; she's new to this concept. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

Hm? Well, yes... [a slight pause, and then she smiles fondly, as though in remembrance, eyes closed] I enjoy seeing my people and feeling their loyalty. When a person truly loves their country, it is truly one of the best feelings. [she opens her eyes once more] And that is another reason I need to get back home. For all the people who need me.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

Then we definitely will! [ Suddenly she's a little fired up. It's one thing to be stuck here when one has friends, family, and comrades waiting for them back home, or a mission to complete.

But in England's case, it's so, so much more than that. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

[she looks surprised at the sudden outburst. but then she becomes fired up, as well. she promised the other countries she would get them out of here!]

Yes! We will!

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ Subaru thrusts her fist into the air. ] There is no situation that can't be overcome with teamwork, persistence, and guts!

[britainsbiscuits]

[she does the same action! ...and then realizes she probably looks silly, so she composes herself AHEM]

Y-you're right, miss Subaru. Thank you...

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ She grins a bit upon seeing that, even if it was just a reflexive response. ]

I'm definitely going to try harder to find a way out. The barrier is strong, but everything has a weakness. [ Said with an upward tilt of her head. The sky thwarted her once before, and Vita isn't around to offer extra power, but she is determined to find a way through ]

[britainsbiscuits]

[Subaru had certainly cheered her up, and just gave England the boost she needed to try harder, as well]

I've been studying the Queen's magic. It's still a mystery, but I know a few spells of my own. [wink]

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ She leans closer. ] You're a mage, too? [ ...well, okay, if the whole "avatar" thing worked the way she thought, then that wasn't so improbable. ] I don't know enough about the system she uses, so I didn't try to break anything down. My comrades back home are more of the type to be able to do that, anyhow. I'm just a combat and rescue specialist.

[britainsbiscuits]

I wouldn't say I'm a mage. I just have been studying magic since I was born hundreds of years ago. I'm hoping I can find a way to break through the Queen's spells and free everyone. Several of my colleagues have also been transported here, and that worries me about the state of the world back home.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

Aheh, well that's just what we always call anyone with that kind of skill. [ Hopefully that wasn't seen as offensive. It's not like she called her a "witch"! ]

I have friends who were here before from, from my world, but... everyone's gone except Vivio. [ Which should not make her sound as rueful as it does. ] If there's anything I can do to help, though, I want to try!

[britainsbiscuits]

[she doesn't mind. she's been called a witch, as well as other horrible things...]

Ah, I'd love as much help as I can get. Gathering whatever information on the Queen would be beneficial and most appreciated. It would be nice to have eyes everywhere...

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ Nodding. ] You can count on me for that much. I think I've been here long enough to tell when things are really out of the ordinary. [ Or so she'd like to think. At least she can say she's seen just about all parts of the Gardens, and had a little experience outside that to back up her claim. ] I've never talked to her, though I did get this one card...

[ She digs around a moment away from the mirror and comes up with an invitation to some ball in a week's time, to ring in the New Year. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

A card? [she peers at the screen] I haven't gotten one of those. What does it say?

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

It's an invitation to some kind of New Years party. I didn't know that it was that close to the holiday, though that at least helps me figure out the dates. [ And that the Queen was fond of Earth traditions and holidays. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

A New Years party? So even things like that are celebrated in the Gardens... Then we must be following the Gregorian calendar. [she decides to make one so she can keep track] Do you think you will go?

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

That's what I was just thinking. [ Literally. ]

Um, I think so! I mean, she did invite me, and it came with a dress and everything... I should at least go and make sure it'll be safe for others.

[britainsbiscuits]

...I wonder if I got an invitation too. I will have to check later. [hands on her hips] At least it will give us an opportunity to see what she's planning.
