First Rose

[An accidental recording, as Angelina gathers her skirts to walk across the grass. Her gown is white and fair, an indicator of her fresh arrival. A red rose is tucked behind her ear to match her hair. She's humming 'London Bridge' to herself.]

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, My Fair Lady...

[She pauses to smile.]

Well... If I have perceived correctly from the voices filtering through the garden, I can assume this is not Paradise. I do not count myself on one that belongs there anyhow. But I would like to know my companions at the very least.

Hello, who is there?

I haven't seen either of those here.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

I know one here. The only person from my- my world, I suppose.

What a queer thought...

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Well, they are obviously not out in full here.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they disguise themselves well.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Either way, I came here alone.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

All alone? You poor thing... Does anyone here look after you?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

I'm quite old and powerful enough to be on my own.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

But you sound so-

Bah. I should not trust my ears to this vine. They've already deceived me.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

I was not that young when I put a stop to my aging.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Put a stop to your-

Ohhh!

Darling, you must tell me what cream you're using, it must be fantastic!

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... I don't think the use of magic ca be considered a 'cream'.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Magic?

...Are you a witch?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

We prefer the term magician.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Magician... Like a Sorceress or Enchantress? What can you do?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

My main interest is manipulation of dolls.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

A puppeteer? My goodness!

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... An odd reaction.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Well... It is rather cute!

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Cute?

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Of course, Puppets are cute. Moving dolls? It's adorable!

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Most people who came to my house ran away screaming in terror.

[redtribution.livejournal.com]

Ninnies, the lot of them.
