Oh! Sorry, I was just testing...

It's been a few days since I arrived and I think I've familiarized myself as much as possible with the workings and geography of this place, both high and low! And this device, too. Although it's still kind of strange to be using something like this, with all of these buttons, but I guess it makes communicating over long distances easier for those who don't have any other means of doing so, am I right?

But I've gotten off topic! I actually have an important question for anyone reading this!

You see, when I was exploring, I noticed that there are a lot of people behaving a bit oddly around the city! And I do mean a lot... Normally, if this happened in fewer numbers, I really wouldn't be the least bit surprised, but it kind of seems like everywhere I turn...

...well, the point is, does this kind of thing happen often around here?

Because I wasn't expecting romantic antics until at least the start of February! If people are going to be dispensing chocolates by the boxes, I'm going to need to get to work right away! This place is no Punjam Hy Loo or the Pole, but teeth are teeth! And they need attending!

Well, now that you mention it...I do have one question, if you wouldn't mind? It's just the one, a...simple thing, or so I hope! You see, well, I would imagine that most newcomers encounter this predicament, this not being where we're from at all, so I have to wonder...where exactly are we expected to live? I've spent a few nights in the gardens and it's been lovely, but it's such a public place and I really don't want to impose any more on the butterflies!

In the gardens? In this weather?

[Oops, she's reflecting her mother again.]

Toothiana, honestly, you ought to have... Alright, there's the Welcome Centre, but you can help yourself to any of the flats out here. Empty ones, you know? And there's the ticking, too, but pets or roommates help with that, company helps. D'you want help finding one?

They aren't so terrible, the warmer parts, at least. And it's nice being surrounded by nature, but maybe you're right...it's so open and open can be very unpredictable...

[She fidgets unseen where she is, letting out an airy sight. Having no idea what the ticking is, she makes the logical assumption that it has something to do with the noises she thought she kept hearing, and with being alone if pets or company are what help alleviate it. Maybe that's what finally drove her to try her communicator? To reach out and ask questions?]

I had no idea there were so many options! I really don't know where to begin...would you recommend one over the other?

Erm... well, there are twelve buildings? I'm in Twelve, myself, but people are scattered everywhere, really. And you haven't got to live in them only, there's loads of places you could go.

You like being outside? [She smiles,] Me too. Best place to think.

Twelve to choose from...well, this place at least has variety in its favor! But I don't know...

[It's walls, you see. She doesn't like walls and tight spaces. If she has to be indoors, Toothiana likes very, very tall ceilings, the kind that are vaulted, and she prefers lofts and plenty of open air, things up high to perch on...]

I might just need to look and see if I can find a comfortable fit. Something with a lot of windows, maybe...ah! Yes, and that's why! Because I love the outdoors, and it really is a wonderful place to think, isn't it? I spend so much time in the open air that the idea of being away from it for any period of time seems a little...you know.

[Suffocating.]

[Open air. Her eyes light up.]

Have you ever gone flying?

My feet rarely touch the ground!

[She laughs, thrilled.]

Right, guess that means I don't have to teach you! I was going to say... [Shaking her head.] It's just, that's what I do when I need some air, if my flat's too much or people or my own head. You've already found Xanadu, but if you'd like a change of scenery, there's a beach beyond the forest. It's beautiful at night.

A beach? That sounds wonderful! If you fly around there often, maybe I could go with you sometime?

I don't get to fly freely with many others besides my fairies and...well, a friend of mine, Jack. It'd be really nice to be able to go with someone, to fly with company!

Of course you can!

[It'll be nice to go flying with someone who's clearly experienced in it. She loves teaching her friends how to use broomsticks, but it means she can't race people through the air, do tricks, go too fast as they get used to it. Then she reads the next bit and her smile broadens.]

Fairies? Merlin's beard, it's been so long since I've seen them. Then again, the last time I was home— [Was the war.] —well, not the right occasion. Your fairies, you said?

This is exciting!

[And she's excited for the same reasons that Ginny is. When it comes to flying, only Jack can keep up with her, and even then she was built for speed! Getting to stretch her wings will feel absolutely glorious, especially in the presence of another who can appreciate...]

[Wait, wait, she's getting ahead of herself. This whole time she's been writing her replies to Ginny. Maybe she should try something else, otherwise flying with her to the beach might be a complete disaster.]

Yes...my fairies. They're very gentle, I promise. But Ginny? If it would be alright...I want to try something. Do you mind if I try switching to video?

[She's about to ask about the fairies but then the conversation shifts and though her brows knit, confused for a beat, she does nod.]

Yeah, of course. Everything alright?

Yes, I think so. I mean, I hope it will be.

[Here goes nothing...]

[It takes Tooth a moment to readjust the settings, but when she gets the hang of it, she holds the communicator out and away from her, hoping that it will help in making her visible.]

Hello?

[She's almost cringing in her anticipation. No, forget almost...she is cringing. Hopefully cringing and waggling tiny fingers at the screen...]

Can you see me?

[ooc: Your call!]

[Well, not what she expected, but it's not like it's entirely unusual. Ginny blinks then smiles, waves.]

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I? [Then - ] You're beautiful, by the way. Those wings! I'm almost jealous if it weren't for my broom.

[Toothiana's face light's up with joy when Ginny announces she can, in fact, see her! It's such wonderful news that she can barely contain herself and almost seems to bounce midair, wings working double time!]

I'm so glad! I mean, I wasn't sure if you would be able to! Where I come from, well, things are a little complicated and not always do people believe...but I suppose someone with magic wouldn't have much trouble!

[She pauses, then shakes her head.]

You know, I've never seen a magic broom before! For all the clever inventions my friends have made, you'd think I would have, but the closest thing I've seen is a frost covered staff, and that was quite beautiful by the way! So I bet your broom is nothing at all to scoff at and I can't wait to see!

And [cheeks reddening a bit!] thank you, Ginny! You're beautiful, too.

[She shakes her head, smiling.]

I understand that, I think. Dad used to say that people only see what they want to see. He worked with Muggle—er, that's non-magical—objects that had been enchanted, made sure that they didn't fall into the wrong hands. But most Muggles refuse to see magic, even if it's happening right in front of them. [She shrugs.] But they're always writing stories about it. It's funny.

[She sounds intrigued by the idea of a staff with the ability to fly, already trying to figure out how it must work, the sort of spellwork on it.]

I do love my broom, but it's just a broom. Not covered in anything, not even splinters. I take very good care of it. [Then she beams.] Thank you, Toothiana.

They do, don't they? Write stories about things even though they don't believe. It's a bit strange! Not that I mind too much, because sometimes those stories encourage others to believe, and at least where I'm from, that is a good thing!

[You know, Tooth isn't even sure if it's the staff that helps Jack fly or if it's Jack himself. She's only ever seen him take to the air with it in hand, so it's hard to tell...but she does know the staff is special. If it wasn't, the Winter Spirit likely wouldn't keep it with him.]

Well, decorated or not, I still look forward to seeing it! Just let me know when you'd like to go flying!

Believing's important, yeah. [Though maybe not in the same way as it is to her.] Sometimes it's all a person has.

[She glances offscreen to the broom by the door. She does love flying in the cold air.]

I go flying every day, I'm sure it's a matter of time until we run into each other.

[You know, Ginny, you seem to really get it, and Tooth appreciates that beyond words.]

You're right, it's only a matter of time! Until then, Ginny! And take care, it was so nice meeting you!

Likewise. Let me know if you need anything.
