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…

[ ...oops! She did it again. Mugi is momentarily flustered, but gives the other girl a calm smile regardless. ] Ah, hello! My name is Tsumugi. You've just arrived here, is that correct? [ In Mugi's dream-land, that is. ]

[seraphista]

Yes, that's correct. I am Princess Sapphire of Silverland.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Well, now. ] More royalty? How wonderful! [ ...not very sympathetic to the whole "kidnapping" thing, nope. ]

[seraphista]

"More royalty"? Who else is here? Are you also a princess?

[golden_gaytime]

No, not I. [ She is just from a very rich family, which she doesn't brag about. ] But Ovelia-san is a princess, and then there is also the Queen you might have already heard about.

[seraphista]

Yes, I've heard that this "Queen of Hearts" reigns here, but I don't recognize the second name.

[golden_gaytime]

In that case, perhaps I could introduce you, sometime!

[seraphista]

Yes, that would be nice, though I wonder if our paths will naturally cross soon. This place doesn't seem particularly large.

[golden_gaytime]

Have you already gone wandering? I haven't seen everything in the few months since I woke up here, so I'm not sure how far things really go!

[seraphista]

I've only explored a little bit, and I will say these Gardens seem beautiful so far. Are there any maps available?

[golden_gaytime]

No maps that I have seen, but there are always cats you can ask for directions! The animals in general are quite cute, and helpful, too.

[seraphista]

Now that I have noticed. The cats here do seem rather intelligent.

[She manages a smile, as she's always been fond of animals.]

[golden_gaytime]

The birds, as well! They are my favorites. Their songs are so pretty. [ Is she getting off track? Probably. She's feeling rather cheery since the party. ]

[seraphista]

Yes, I'm quite fond of birds as well. Are all the animals here trained?

[golden_gaytime]

Trained? I like to believe they are that way because they are magical. [ Totally reasonable logic. ]

[seraphista]

Magic, hm?

[Her eyes narrow at the mention of it.]

It seems I just can't escape sorcery...

[golden_gaytime]

That would be difficult for any of us to do. It suits me just fine, since I want to learn magic myself, eventually!

[seraphista]

But why would you want to learn such a demonic craft?

[golden_gaytime]

But I haven't encountered any demons here...

A lamia, true, and a youkai! But they were both friendly.

[seraphista]

Friendly.... This place truly is different from what I'm familiar with.

[golden_gaytime]

It is very different for me, too, but in a good way!

[seraphista]

"In a good way..."? Where were you from originally?

[golden_gaytime]

Japan, like some others who are here. No place magical at all.

[seraphista]

Japan? I've not heard of it.

[golden_gaytime]

I have never heard of Silver-land, either. Is it a beautiful kingdom? [ Since most were, in the types of stories she fancied. ]
