[Another one of your visitors has fallen into the fountain, City. Berthier has tumbled straight in, looking startled, but more than that seems momentarily blinded, lifting her arm up to shield her eyes. They're very large, and very sensitive, and both her hair and skin are very fair.]

That was very rude, Koan. [Her tone is light, if a bit terse.] And you know what happens to me in the sun.

[She sees the device on the edge of the fountain, and mistaking it for her own, carries on addressing it as she stands up, moving to settle herself beside it, slowly taking off her boots to shake the water out of them.]

I see you didn't come with me. [Airy and chiding.] That may be for the best, I most certainly would have repaid you. If you come now and apologize to your big sister, I will go into the city with you.

[She smiles harmlessly at the camera. She won't punish her little sister too terribly.]


[[ooc; I come bearing permissions.]]

Hello?

Hi! Sorry, but you're not talking to the person you think you're talking to. I mean, you're not even in the dimension you were just in, so... welcome to the City!

[She gives a surprised little blink, but that's all the reaction she shows, turning immediately to an embarrassed little laugh.]

Oh dear. How strange.

[anunluckypenny]

[That's a good reaction! The lack of panic is reassuring.]

Strange is definitely a good word for it.

I'm Penny.

Penny. [She repeats that airily, not a bad name for a human.]

I am Berthier .[Behr-tchi-ay]

Did you say that I have traveled to a different dimension?

[anunluckypenny]

It's nice to meet you, Berthier. [She even pronounces it right.] Neat name.

Yep! I don't know which dimension, but you're in a place that steals people from all kinds of worlds, mashes them together, and then throws out curses when things start to get boring. [pause] It's really not bad at all.

[berthierite]

To what purpose is this theft?

[Way more interested in info than pleasantries.]

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Um? No one knows. I guess you could ask the deities, but they don't seem to give straight answers ever.

[berthierite]

Deities?

[What a silly notion.]

video;

[anunluckypenny]

I know it sounds weird, but they're supposed to control the curses and everything. They have an office building, actually.

[berthierite]

This doesn't sound terrifically divine.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

They're really unusual. I'm not even sure there's anyone in the building, anyway. They usually talk to us on the network.

video;

[berthierite]

Deities making social calls. That is very unusual, you're right.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

You'll get used to all kinds of unusual things really fast, don't worry.

Are you doing okay, Berthier? Need any help?

video;

[berthierite]

[Gosh you lowly human, how dare you.]

I'm just fine, thank you.

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Okay! [Oblivious? What?] If that ever changes and you need anything at all, feel free to ask, okay?
