[video] The wrong book

[rockpaperlightning]

[The video feed comes to life, showing a young Japanese school girl with bright yellow hair. She is wearing what looks like a normal school uniform with a big white fluffy sweater over it. There are tears in her eyes and she looks scared out of her wits.]

H-Hello? M-My name is K-Kise Yayoi. Please, w-where am I? [she holds up a scroll] A-A cat gave me this a-and said I-I could use this weird vine...can someone t-tell me how I-[her eyes widen with horror] Did I do the book thing wrong? [more tears fall from her eyes]

I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I-I know th-the fairy said I-I needed to be careful but I wasn't even thinking of a-a-[she is cut off as she cries].

It was Daddy really. Mommy stopped me before I could finish the Seal.

I'm glad I'm here now. It's like Paradise for everybody. Except boys, but maybe they get their own Paradise.

[rockpaperlightning]

She did? Oh my...but at least your daddy was able to stop her.

So there are no boys here? That's strange, but it's okay I suppose. There are some really nice people here. It does look very pretty, like something out of a fairy tale.

[mother_of_god]

But not with mean witches or scary monsters. Except the bears and wolfs.

[Alessa really dislikes the wolves.]

[rockpaperlightning]

Oh that's good. I've met a witch before. She was pretty mean. And monsters are so scary. W...There are w-wolves here?

[L-Like Wolfrun? O-Oh dear...]

[mother_of_god]

I'm not mean, though!

The wolves are at the edges of town. If you don't go out there, it is safe.

[rockpaperlightning]

Oh you're definitely not mean! You're one of the nicest people I've met.

I-I think I-I'll definitely a-avoid them...

[mother_of_god]

I am a witch.

[rockpaperlightning]

You are? Oh! I hope I didn't make you feel bad! I only know one other witch and she is really mean! But you're definitely not mean! I'm sorry if I made you upset!

[mother_of_god]

I'm not. I didn't want to lie to you. A lot of people don't like witches. But nobody here thought it was bad.

I didn't want to be a witch but I was born like this.

[rockpaperlightning]

Oh...well, I think you're one of the nice witches then. Witches can't all be bad, right? After all, just because you were born as a witch, that doesn't mean you're bad or mean. I think you can be whatever you want to be.

[mother_of_god]

Can I be friends with you?

[rockpaperlightning]

Really? You want to be friends? I'd like that a lot! I think we'd be great friends!

[mother_of_god]

My name is Alessa.

[rockpaperlightning]

My name is Yayoi. I'm glad we're friends, Alessa! That's a very pretty name.

[mother_of_god]

I'm glad, too. I've never heard a name like Yayoi before.

[rockpaperlightning]

It means the third lunar month of the year. My dad named me that because it reminded him of spring.

[mother_of_god]

I like Spring a lot. I hope it turns Spring here. It would be really nice.

[rockpaperlightning]

Spring is my favorite season. Oh spring here would be so pretty! There are so many plants that would look so nice in spring!

[mother_of_god]

I think it is Summer here now, so it will be a while.

It is still nice, though. I hope you like it here.

[rockpaperlightning]

Oh...well, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad of a wait.

I think I will like it here. I've met some really nice people, I've made a great friend and this place is so very nice.
