1st Key ♫ Mugi in Wonderland ♫ Video

[golden_gaytime]

[ The mirror isn't on for even a moment before crying can be heard. It's not coming from the blonde girl with the inordinately large eyebrows, either. No, the sounds are coming from the large egg cradled in her arms, the painted face on its shell drawn to further illustrate its distress. ]

Oh no! What am I going to do? [ The young girl is trying her best to be reassuring and soothing to the little thing, but it will have none of it! This behavior is slowly eating away at Mugi's calm demeanor. ] There, there. No need to cry~. I'm sure we can find your "mama", somehow.

[ She shifts in place, having retrieved her garments moments earlier but not yet changed out of the tell-tale slip given to newcomers in the Gardens.

Mugi is giving the egg her full attention, and has not yet noticed the Vine that was broadcasting the scene. ] This is quite a dilemma... and since when did they make trial babies out to be in this shape?

A representation of life, no doubt.

[golden_gaytime]

—oh! I didn't think of it that way. [ She lowers and cradles the egg carefully once more, smiling softly. ] It makes sense when you say it like that, Atkascha-san. [ ...that is not such an easy name to say. ]

[ofnovalue]

-In fact, Mugi's stumbling gets a giggle out of the royal.- I-I beg your pardon...

[golden_gaytime]

[ There's some shy blushing on her part. ] I'm sorry. Did I say it oddly?

[ofnovalue]

You can just call me Ovelia, if my surname troubles your tongue so.

[golden_gaytime]

[ sajkfhasfa she DID say it strange! How embarrassing. ]

If you're sure. [ Not that she didn't just offer it, but if they look close to the age, that wouldn't be so bad... ]

Okay, Ovelia-san.

[ofnovalue]

I am nothing if not sure, Lady Mugi.

[golden_gaytime]

[ That's a start. She knows the other girl means well, and she'll just have to brush off her own mild discomfort for now. It's not like she expects anything from this dream-land scenario in the first place.

Mugi smiles. ] Good!

I think I should try to find the person I'm supposed to share this responsibility with. [ Rocking the egg gently as she considers those words. ] I only wish I had more names to go by.

[ofnovalue]

One can likely start with those who do not have their own eggs.

[golden_gaytime]

—oh! That's a good idea. I'll have to just ask anyone else who answers from now on. [ Since she expects this "vine" to be very useful for that plan. ]

[ofnovalue]

You... may need to search, m'lady.

[golden_gaytime]

Oh. Hmm. [ She thinks about it a moment. ] If I'm careful, that won't be so bad. But I don't even have a map, so what if I get lost? [ This place didn't seem to have streets, and she can't hear the sounds of cars or businesses, either. ]

[ofnovalue]

Hmm... I could send my knight to act as your guide.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Perking up a little. This is starting to sound like a fantasy novel type setting! ] You have your very own knight? How thrilling! I'd love to meet him. [ What do we say about assumptions, Mugi? ]

[ofnovalue]

... Her, actually.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Oops. ] My apologies! I meant no disrespect. I just— I assumed...

[ofnovalue]

Tis alright. Though you should know that all here are women.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Her face freezes. ] —what do you mean?

[ofnovalue]

The Queen summons naught but women to this realm.

[golden_gaytime]

Oh. [ How did the Queen know?

Oh, right. Because this is her dream world. How interesting!

Mugi doesn't seem perturbed by this development at all. ] What an interesting development. I sure wish I could meet this Queen for myself!

[ofnovalue]

Mayhap someday you will, m'lady.

[golden_gaytime]

Yes! I definitely will! [ Oh no. She's determined, now. ]

...but first, I have to meet you and your knight, right? [ Her smile dims only as she looks around. ] Um, I'm not quite sure where I am, or I would let you know where I could be found...

[ofnovalue]

You wish to meet us both now?

[golden_gaytime]

Ah! I meant—

If it's not inconvenient for you. I didn't mean to assume...

[ofnovalue]

Twere no offense, m'lady. Though we are a bit busy at the moment with our own egg.
