[When the mirror opens up, it looks as though it's recording through a fog. Lambda can be made out through the haze, the red optic in her visor glowing faintly, along with her sleeping pet cradled in her arms. It's a little harder to make out her surroundings, but if one tries hard enough they'll be able to see she seems to be near the outskirts of the Viridian Pavilion. When Lambda speaks, her voice is muffled and faintly tinny-sounding.]

A number of strange auditory patterns have been detected over a period of approximately the past 36 hours. I am unable to identify their source. However, running system diagnostics returns no errors.

[Her mouth twitches slightly. Could she be frowning?]

Additionally, attempting to navigate the Gardens has yielded a number of special anomalies. Attempting to perform a special transfer through the use of relative coordinates has been unsuccessful.

[In other words... She's lost.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Then she is most likely the source.

[cobbledtogether]

The probability is high that it is related to the other anomalies currently present in the Gardens.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Right now we can do nothing about it.

[cobbledtogether]

Yes.

[IT TOOK A WHILE

And a use of a different magic :(

But Kris pops up out of a shadow near Lambda.]

Hi!

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha notices this in the mirror. Sort of.]

You're not going to get lost on the way back, are you?

[cobbledtogether]

[Lambda's gaze swings in Kris's direction the moment she speaks, but her voice is familiar enough by now that she isn't alarmed by her sudden appearance. She moves to stand beside her, silently and obediently.]

[ported]

Am I going to bring her back now?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Yes. Unless she has something else she needs to do?

[The voice from the black mirror asks. Damn Vine.]

[cobbledtogether]

No.

[ported]

Okay. We'll be back in a little bit.

[Looking over at Lambda.]

...right?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'll see you then.

[And Akiha leaves them to their own devices.]

[cobbledtogether]

[Lambda stares back at Kris, tilting her head slightly as she does so. She should be the one to know this, shouldn't she?]

...Provided you are capable of navigating a path back to the mansion.

[ported]

I think I can. Just come back the way I came...
