[ action // accidental video ]
[The video opens to a view of the fountain and a small pair of feet clad in unusual, tight-fitting red boots. The audio feed is little more than the buzz of many voices overlapping, words lost in the crowd.
The little feet shift, pace, and occasionally vanish out of sight. After a time, the owner of the feet sits on the fountain's edge, coming into view. She's young and petite; her billowing outfit, tied at the waist, is all subdued red-browns and yellows. Her dark brown hair is pulled into an off-center bun.
The girl looks around with wide brown eyes. It's clear that she's surprised and nervous and very possibly overwhelmed by the busy City Square, but there's no panic or jitteriness in her movements. With an air of calm grace, she draws her legs up and settles into a meditative position.]
I wish I had brought a book.
[Her eyes close. The feed times out long before she moves.]
[ooc: Er... this does not happen at the same time as the goat-slaughtering post.]

There is? Is it a big library? Do you know how many books it has in it?
video;
It's bigger than most of the ones back home, but I don't know how many books it has... [ Mostly because he hasn't gone there much. ] It's the next block from the police station, though, so you can see for yourself.
video;
How far is a block? [As soon as the question's out, she looks nervous.] I don't know if I should go anywhere.
video;
Are you waiting for someone?
video;
My dad should be here. He never lets me go anywhere alone.
video;
Have you tried calling him on this? Sometimes people get separated when they come here...
video;
video;
It's actually really easy. You just need to close this call with the red button and open a new one with the green one. The rest of the commands are pretty straight-forward from there. It'd probably be safest to make a general call to the entire network in this case...in case your father can't answer but someone else you know can.
[ And please let there be someone else she knows here... ]
video;
Thank you. [And, because politeness is important...] I'm Jinora.
video;
I'm Tyr. Did you just arrive here?
video;
Yes, but I don't know how I came here.
video;
Not everyone does... Sometimes it's just like you blink and end up here...
Sometimes leaving is just like that, too, though.
video;
Is that what it was like when you came here? Just a blink?
video;
Not quite... My friend and I were pulled into a lake and landed in that fountain...
But for most people, it's just a blink.

video;
But I'm glad too... He's been with me this entire time, too. Hopefully you'll have someone like that, too.
