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…

Well, it happened before I was born, but you can still see the bombs left over and dead bodies and junk. Musta been some war though.

I bet I'd be able to tell you more if those people that made that stuff were still around though.

[seraphista]

No war is pleasant...

Ah, that's quite all right. I was simply curious, that's all.

[fionna_time]

Yeah, 'specially when you don't know what the parents that birthed ya look like.

But I still had awesome parents that taught me right from wrong and protected me!

[seraphista]

Mm, parents like that... are certainly irreplaceable. They do sound wonderful.

[fionna_time]

Totally! Though I do kinda wish that they were still around.

Not here though, this place is bazonkers!

[seraphista]

Bazonkers? [She's not very familiar with modern slang.]

Ah, I cannot disagree; as much as I miss my mother, I'd rather she not be trapped here either.

[fionna_time]

This is no place for people's moms, basically.

[seraphista]

That I can understand. I would worry endlessly.

[fionna_time]

Yeah man. But my mom isn't around anymore, so I wouldn't have to worry about that.

[seraphista]

Mm. Though, if they were, I wouldn't mind if I had the chance to meet your parents, and to introduce you to mine.

[fionna_time]

Same here! I think you guys might get along!

[seraphista]

I would certainly hope so.

Speaking of introductions, I suppose I should finally introduce myself, hm? I am Princess Sapphire of Silverland.

[fionna_time]

Yeah, me too!

Nice to meet you, Princess, I'm Fionna!

I sure do meet a lot of you guys!

[seraphista]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Do you mean here, or in your home world?

[fionna_time]

Same here!

In my world, but I think there are a few here too! Some royalty anyway.

[seraphista]

In your world... but wait, didn't you say you were the only human left?

[fionna_time]

Yeah, but I didn't say the princesses were human.

[seraphista]

Ah, I see... I apologize for assuming.

[fionna_time]

It's cool! They're still boombastic gals anyway!

[seraphista]

"Boombastic"? Is that supposed to be slang...?

[fionna_time]

Slang?

[seraphista]

It's, well, very informal language, like jokes or newly made-up words.

[fionna_time]

Oh. I guess that's what it is? No one else says stuff like that here.

In that case, a lot of what people say sounds like slang to me.

[seraphista]

[She can't help but let out a quiet chuckle.]

Languages can be strange like that. But it's enough that we can all understand each other, at least.
