step one ❚ a flight on clipped wings ( video )

[steelettos]

( the only reason you're seeing this feed is because lenalee has accidentally fallen on the device. she hasn't got a clue that it's been turned on and that it's currently filming the scenario before her -

which is a family room of sorts with the npc owners of said family room standing all around her, a mixed expression of surprise, disbelief and wtf-are-you-doing-here on their faces. above them, a great hole in their ceiling, much thanks to her activating her boots midair. not that it helped, but at least it missed light fixture. )

A, ah - ( nervous chuckle from the person who's lying on top of a ruined center table, whose usually prim uniform is now covered in dust and debris. ) - I'm terribly sorry to barge in. I usually use the door and I, I promise I'm not a thief -

( hastily said, with hands raised even.

she looks around, giving the device a glimpse of her briefly panic-stricken face, then turns back to the house owners. ) - But may please I borrow your phone?

[ . . . an unspeakable silence.









where he's just. rewinding a little bit. to check how much her skirt actually got caught riding up during that fall onto the camera. ]

[extend]

[ ( look, where one Lee sibling goes? the other is never far behind. and if something untoward's been recorded, Komui'll feel the obligation to hunt down half the city when he arrives and build robots to stomp on them and actually Lavi's been enjoying his life as a non-pancake do you mind. ) ]

Yooooooo! Here! Over here!!

[ energetic waving!! from a tiny screen . . . ]

1/actually i have no idea

[steelettos]

( she wears shorts, thanks lavi.

but she'll freeze upon hearing that voice, despite being in the middle some discussion about property damage and girls are falling from the sky now, what is going on with the city - )

[steelettos]

( especially since it's a voice she's so familiar with and a voice she hasn't heard for some time now and a voice that belongs to person whose news of existence and safety has been questionable for some. time. now.

and so she'll pretty much ignore everyone and everything else (and lets herself be called "rude" and "unthinking" and all the other names) and rummage all through the debris she's caused - )

video; end - because i'll save it for laterrrrr

[steelettos]

Where...?

( lenalee finds the device after a few minutes, her hands still shaking as she holds it.

red hair, green eye and that stupid face -

she's not going to cry. she's not going to cry. she's not going to cry. no, she's not going to - why is he here and why isn't he at home and who else is here? )

Where are you?

[ what an ugly tone to hear: the kind that should be saved for brothers and the honorably dead and -- and allen walker, maybe.

( her cheek's sharper, the press of her mouth too hard and her hair too long. isn't it too long? )

( shut up, bookman. ) ]

Hey, hey -- you okay? C'mon, it's just me!

[subecho]

You hurt first, ask questions thereafter.

[ ... ]

...that is wise.

[steelettos]

( she's replying while she's out there, searching for lavi. and while inwardly she's panicking, she chuckles anyway at the remark. )

Thanks, but I have a feeling it's a sentiment that the house owners don't share.

[subecho]

You are victor. They have been conquered. You may be kind to them, but also firm.

dasdkj lenalee pls.

[medicos]

... I take it everyone's alive and accounted for at least.

accidents happen :C

[steelettos]

Yes, they were all well when I had left though very much disgruntled. ( well enough to argue about damage claims. not that she doesn't understand why. )

I'll be returning later on to see if I had caused any other trauma other than, well - destruction of private property.

[medicos]

Fine, then. [ he sighs. ]

If any of them feel the need for some medical assistance, tell them to come to me. I'm Doctor McCoy, I currently work at the hospital.

What about your injuries?

video;

[exaltate]

I think I remember this one. A phone, right?

[ She nods tersely before holding up a toaster in all seriousness. ]

Is this it? You are welcome to use mine should you still need it.

video;

[steelettos]

Yes, miss, do you have on - ( hold on. that's not a phone. she doesn't know what that is but she's pretty sure that's not a phone. )

.. It's curiously shaped for a phone. ( ssh lenalee, that's like saying outright that it's not a phone. ) At least, compared to ones I'm familiar with.

[exaltate]

Many items here are more a lot more advanced than those in my own world. I have been slowly learning to adapt and to use them, but I am certain we can figure out this new kind of phone together. What are they normally used for, if I may ask?

[ She's sure she can decipher how to operate the 'phone' once she's reminded what it even is... ]

[anatural]

[Korra stares at the screen, then starts laughing.]

Welcome to the City.

video;

[steelettos]

( oh wow can she die now of secondhand embarrassment. )

Thank you .. ( awkward laughter, ha ha. ) Do you happen to know what City we're in? I seemed to have gotten lost somewhere while returning home.

video;

[anatural]

[Right she should probably go through the whole spiel, shouldn't she?]

You're not lost; you've been kidnapped. [Don't really know by who since the deities are gone but Korra's not going to throw that at Lenalee just yet.] This place is just called the City.

Um, here are directions to the Welcome Center. [insert directions here] Penny can give you more information and a place to sleep tonight.

[mortemscintilla]

Um...

People don't really use phones here, Miss. [ Also. Focusing veeeery intently on that hole in the ceiling. (Better that, than the upskirt shot her device was flashing, ahyuck :3 ) ] Are you okay, by the way?

[steelettos]

Yes, I am. Thank you for asking.

( she manages a tight smile at that though it's clear that her expression screams disappointment after hearing the no phones thing. )

Is there any way to call someone then? It's very important.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Have a heavy sigh as he prepares to be the Bearer Of Bad News, ]

That ...

Might be a problem. Mostly if this 'someone' is outside the City. You're in a completely hermetic zone. Everything's sealed off and no outside communication with your world is possible.

[vengefully]

The device you're broadcasting with is equivalent to one.

[steelettos]

Do you - ( headshake. ) - It's unable to connect to our network back at home.

( and the person she wants to contact is back there. at home. )

[vengefully]

It wouldn't because this place is another world.
