Dad? I can't get Mom on the phone. Are you okay? Was there an earthquake? I can't get the web to load I'm in the subway and it was really scary.

Where are you?

[ooc; Himeno has no idea about the network, or... the City, so- her text messages have hit the network rather than the phones they're supposed to reach. Action replies are also welcome- she's on the Subway Panic!]

Wasn't an earthquake, your family's probably exactly how you left them, and your messages got redirected.

[ god, where's a handy guide to link when you need one. ]

[princesstype]

[oh my god who is this?!]

Who is this???

THIS IS SO LATE, sob.

[shortcut]

That's your first question? Look around.

<3

[princesstype]

Are you watching me right now?!

[oh my god is he a stalker is he behind her]

[haring_to_go]

[ ah... these kind of posts always broke Liam's heart just a little. ]

Are you lost? I can't guarantee we'll find your parents, but I can help you file a missing persons report.

[ he'll ease her into the sad truth that she's likely alone. How cruel that this City was forced to separate them. ]</small.

[princesstype]

Is... this the police?

[It sounds like the police but how did they get her phone number... ?]

[haring_to_go]

Unfortunately, I'm not one here, but I can help you find the station since I'm sure this city isn't one you've been to before. You said you were in the subway?

[princesstype]

Yes, sir! Miss?

[Not the police but if they could help her find someone...]

Is there a landmark or somewhere I can meet you?

[haring_to_go]

[ he had to laugh a little, to himself. The resilience of children was astounding. ]

Liam will do. Just head outside and tell me what street you're on. I'll find you.

[princesstype]

[a few minutes later]

Someone told me the subway might be collapsing, I'm trying to find an exit!

[haring_to_go]

[ Oh gdi, this is like Break all over again. ]

If the subway was collapsing, I'm afraid you would have heard screaming already. So, just calm down and walk to the nearest staircase. It should exit into the street.

[worldofourown]

Is someone lo~st?

[princesstype]

Who are you?!

[how did all these people get her mail addressnflkwnl]

[worldofourown]

Just a concerned bystander.

Worried about your parents, are you?

[princesstype]

[Should she- But. No one else has answered her, and-]

Didn't you feel the earthquake?

[worldofourown]

[ ...Poor little girl... ]

I don't think so.

Are you sure it wasn't a case of nerves?

[princesstype]

It was definitely an earthquake! The whole subway car shook-

[didn't it?]

[worldofourown]

[ You tell him~ ]

Really?

Perhaps the subway is just collapsing on itself~

[D: Oh no, this is so sad. Poor whoever this is is probably so lost, too. D:]

Hi? Hello?

[princesstype]

[oh my god it's a video- is hers a video now, too? without meaning to, Himeno had pressed "answer with video" so... yup.

oh she can see her- can she hear her, too? Equine ears lie flat on her skull for a minute, nervous, before she speaks up.]

H- hello?

[brobeforehos]

[EARS! Hello ears - no, shan't focus on that right now. She'll just.

Smile very helpfully.] Hi there. I'm Mae. What's your name?

[princesstype]

[Smiling is reassuring- even if Mae's lack of features familiar to Himeno is not. Oh, dear, was she a hate crime victim, should she be acting a certain way-]

Ah, I'm- I'm Himeno. Nice to meet you...

[But what should she say next? Maybe she should ask for directions to the police...]

video;

[brobeforehos]

Himeno - that's a nice name, Himeno. I can explain things for you if you want, but you should try to calm down a bit before...

[princesstype]

Thank you. My dad picked it, because he said I was like his little princess, so...

[Oh no, she's rambling-]

Um, I'm trying but. It's sort of scary, and there was an earthquake and I don't know where I am-

video;

[brobeforehos]

That's sweet. [Haha, dads that care.]

This place is called the City.
