[The video turns on an Amu can be seen clinging to her pillow as she tries to is trying to put on a brave face, she's totally not scared at all what are you talking about]

I should probably stay here so they can find me easier. That's what you're supposed to do when you're lost, right?

[She just taps the device she found on herself, staring at it momentarily. She doesn't realize it's even on yet] Oh. I guess this is like a phone or something, huh? Maybe someone could tell me where I am?

[ooc; Age reversal! Since it's been a while since I hit her with this curse]

[Abed is taking a stroll through Xanadu when he sees a small, frightened little girl. He stops and briefly runs through his options:

1) Continue walking
2) Ask the little girl what's wrong
3) Call for help
4) Push her over and run away laughing

After a moment of contemplation, he goes for the second option.]

Are you all right?

[guardianjoker]

[She just shakes her head] I'm lost.

[metaman]

[He squats down to be closer to her eye level.]

Where were you trying to go?

action;

[guardianjoker]

I want to go home.

action;

[metaman]

Home-home or your home-here?

action;

[guardianjoker]

The first one. I don't have a home here. [that she knows of right now anyway]

Re: action;

[metaman]

I'm afraid I can't help with that.


Or with the here-home either.

[Oh dear.]

I can take you to the Welcome Center. They're very welcoming.

action;

[guardianjoker]

Oh...

[Wait, what. A welcome center? Well that doesn't sound too dangerous] Okay, we can go there.

You're lost?

You're in a place called the City, but that's probably not where you're supposed to be, right?

[guardianjoker]

[where was that coming from—

Oh, someone heard her over this thing? She just nods in response to the first question before peeking over her pillow]

video;

[guardianjoker]

The City? Which one?

I'm supposed to be home.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Just the City. It's... complicated, but it's definitely not home. Don't worry, though, okay? You'll get to go home soon.

Where are you, sweetie?

video;

[guardianjoker]

[she looks confused at first but she just nods her head in redponse] ...It's like a garden, I think.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Okay... good. Can you maybe take this thing in your hands and show me what part of the garden you're in? It's probably not a good idea for you to be out alone.

video;

[guardianjoker]

Okay... [She takes the device to show her surroundings better] Does that help?

video;

[anunluckypenny]

I think--yeah, I'm pretty sure I know where that is. Do you mind if I come and get you? There's somewhere safe you can stay until it's time for you to go home.

video;

[guardianjoker]

No, I don't mind— I'll wait here for you then. [she just nods at that]

video;

[prosopopoeia]

Eet is a phone. I would suggest looking at zhe mapping application, eef you are lost.

video;

[guardianjoker]

I guess it is...

Um, there's a map on here?

video;

[prosopopoeia]

[Sigh.]

Yes. Wait a moment and I will send you a packet to open.


[ CITY_MAPS.KML ]

video;

[guardianjoker]

[just staring...] I just press it then?

video;

[prosopopoeia]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Impatient lady is impatient.]

It will load zhe program for you and should pinpoint your location in zhe city.

[guardianjoker]

How-- [she's trying to figure this out as fast as she can, because she is just a kid now so give her a few more minutes here] Oh! I got it!

video;

[guardianjoker]

...None of these locations sound familiar though.

video;

[prosopopoeia]

You must go to zhe Welcome Center. Someone zhere will help you.
