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!]

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-

[brobeforehos]

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

This place is called the City.

[princesstype]

The City... ?

I need to get back to Shimoshinmei Station, actually, I don't... know where that is...

video;

[brobeforehos]

You see, Himeno - the thing is, you won't be able to go back there for a while. I know it sounds scary, but it doesn't have to be? There are some people that are friendly here, like the ones at the shelter - they'll help. But this place is far, far away from Shimmyshinmay.

[What is this woman talking about-]

I don't understand.

video;

[brobeforehos]

Well - have you ever read stories of princesses that got swept away to foreign lands through magic?

video;

[princesstype]

Yes... my cousin likes those kinds of stories.

[And she does not like where this is going.]

video;

[brobeforehos]

This one's sort of like that.

[princesstype]

[Long ears begin to droop.]

You mean... I can't go home. This is magic? I'm not dreaming?

video;

[brobeforehos]

All the right assumptions.

video;

[princesstype]

But... magic isn't real. You know that, right?

[Right?]

video;

[brobeforehos]

Where I come from, it very much is.

video;

[princesstype]

Is that why... you're... [oh god how can she be politically correct about this, she can't just say... genetically mutated...

She just points at Mae's ears. WHY ARE THEY NOT LONG AND POINTY???]

video;

[brobeforehos]

These? [She pushes her hair behind them and pushes her ears out, playfully. A small grin.] No, these are common where I come from, actually. Nothing to do with magic, just genes.

video;

[princesstype]

Everyone is like that... ? You're not... [oh this is not polite-] mutated?

video;

[brobeforehos]

Everyone is just like this.

video;

[princesstype]

Everyone- [Her voice lowers as if she's afraid to be caught saying it outloud.]

I haven't seen anyone that looks like me since I got here...

video;

[brobeforehos]

...there are some people around with cat ears?

video;

[princesstype]

[Her ears perk forward a little, that seems familiar at least.]

Have you seen any centaurs, then? Maybe- maybe my family is here, too-

video;

[brobeforehos]

Uhhhmmmmmm...I think you're my first.

video;

[princesstype]

... Oh.

If I wanted to look for people is there- a police station, or something... ?

video;

[brobeforehos]

Ah - yes! Yes, there is a police force here, so they should have a headquarters as well.

video;

[princesstype]

Were they able to help you?

video;

[brobeforehos]

Well, I - I never asked them. I had my friends here when I got here, so they explained.
