1st Heart [Video / Action]

[seraphista]

[To say Sapphire was displeased at finding herself here would be an understatement. Was this a kidnapping? Some kind of sorcery? Either way, she couldn't be certain that she wasn't in danger, so she has her sword drawn as she explores the Gardens, and the Vine has brought forth a mirror to record each and every one of her words and movements.]

To whoever is in charge, I ask that you show yourself! If this is simply a misunderstanding, then I believe we can resolve things peacefully, but if this is a kidnapping… that is unforgivable!

[She tightens her grip on her sword, and she bits her lower lip before speaking again, this time in a whisper.]

What sort of place is this? It seems so eerily calm…

I'm not in charge, but this is... a strange place.

[video]

[seraphista]

Then have you been brought her against your will as well?

Re: [video]

[tookupthesword]

It's... complicated. I wasn't in a place to complain.

[video]

[seraphista]

But you didn't come here by choice, did you?

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Well, no.

[video]

[seraphista]

...I see.

[While she is perplexed by this girl's reaction, she doesn't wish to pry.]

Have you been here long?

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Over a year, I think.

[video]

[seraphista]

That long?! That is... disheartening to hear, to say the least.

[video]

[tookupthesword]

It didn't really feel like it though.

[video]

[seraphista]

Do you enjoy being here?

[She tries to keep her voice calm, so as not to sound accusatory.]

[video]

[tookupthesword]

It could be better.

[video]

[seraphista]

Is it dangerous here?

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Well, not usually...

[video]

[seraphista]

I apologize if I sound presumptuous, but that isn't very reassuring.

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Well, what do you want?

[video]

[seraphista]

Perhaps we should start with introductions. My name is Sapphire.

[video]

[tookupthesword]

I'm Sayaka Miki.

[video]

[seraphista]

It's a pleasure. Now, you said this place isn't usually dangerous, but are there times when it has been?

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, usually once a month something happens. Anything could, really. Also this doesn't count any of the people who could be violent here...

[video]

[seraphista]

Are there many people here who are violent?

[video]

[tookupthesword]

I don't really know the answer to that one.

[video]

[seraphista]

Then I suppose if there are any violent types here, they're easy enough to avoid engaging.

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, it should be easy to see those types.

[video]

[seraphista]

I can defend myself, but I'd rather not cause trouble while I'm still growing accustomed to this place.

[video]

[tookupthesword]

Would it be causing trouble if others start it?
