[Option A - Action]
[There's a petite girl by the fountain, happily speaking to passerby. Otherwise, when she thinks no one notices, she looks a little down or overwhelmed. In her hands is a device, and as soon as someone gets close enough, she asks if it's their device. If they dropped it. Or maybe there's a lost and found she could turn it over to?]

[Option B - Video Post]
[Unlike some people, Tohru didn't immediately post to the network after arriving. It was a couple hours later. She's still by the fountain, where she arrived, happily giving a smile.]

So this is how it works? Recording.... But is it recording video or voice? It doesn't say. I thought I pressed video. So I hope I did it right and this is showing up! [Bright cheery smile!]

Hello. My name is Tohru Honda. I'd like to know where I am so I can find my way home. I was on a school trip with my friends, and they might worry if I don't get back soon. [And Kyo.... Would Kyo worry? For just a moment she might not beam so brightly, but the expression is quickly gone. Not many would know her well enough to catch it, either.]

Also, I really hope this didn't end up in my possession by mistake. A kind person told me it was mine, but I don't recall ever buying anything like this. So if this electronic thing is yours, [she can't show it, though she does shake the device a little, then bows, apologetic, not quite so smiley anymore] I didn't mean to take it, and I'm very sorry!

I hope I didn't take up too much time! And thank you for any information you can spare.

Good day.

...It's something everyone gets when they arrive here, Honda-san.

I'm Sara Mudou, Welcome to the City.

But, Mudou-san, a thing like this, isn't it expensive?

Who gives it to us? I should do something in return. I don't even know how to really use it, yet!

Oh! I'm sorry! It's a pleasure to meet you. And thank you for the welcome.

I just can't believe someone would give this to me. It would be better in the hands of someone more knowledgeable!

Actually everyone here gets one. It's a means of communicating with the others trapped here. Honda-san.

And as for doing something for them, we never even see them, although they like to do things to us.

But...that's very thoughtful of them! Still, I would like to return home....

I mean! I don't mean to be ungrateful!

They do more for us? They are far too generous.

..Not for us.

Yo us.

Wh-what do you mean? I'm sorry, Mudou-san, for asking so many questions. [She just can't fathom why some unknown entities would do things to anyone. Especially someone as nice as Sara.]

There are curses that happen relatively often, although they can vary in length. Some aren't so bad, but others...

Curses? Why would they....

I must've insulted them somehow.

Does everyone turn into animals? [It's the only curse she's really familiar with. There are Hanajima's waves, but those are different.]

[Jinora has been in the City for almost two entire days now and has seen remarkably few people who looked like they might be her age. When she sees the girl by the fountain, she is, in spite of her general reluctance to start conversations, compelled to go talk to her.]

Hello.

[A greeting! Tohru's pleased, even if a little shy herself. Not that it's easy to tell from her cheerful greetings.]

Hello. Might you be able to tell me what place I'm in? It's rather big.... I haven't been here before. I think I got lost.

This is the City, and you're not lost. It kidnaps people.

[Or something like that.]

Turn into animals?

My brother would probably have more information but I don't think so.

Then...I can't just go home?

Why would a city kidnap people? Does it need more citizens?

Your brother is here as well? Did anyone else you know end up here?

Maybe the others can find me. But I wouldn't want them getting cursed. [Anymore than they already are.]

I don't know, and you can't leave, but don't worry.

[Jinora hasn't had the City properly explained to her, but she was really scared when she first showed up and still can't believe that she can't go home and see her family. Maybe she can help...]

I'd be your friend, if you want.

Some people did, I actually only arrived in the month or two myself. Oniichan and Kira-senpai have been here a long time though.

And if your friends do show up here, they likely..won't know you went missing because to them, you'll still be there.if it works like it did for me anyway. They can take people from different points in their lives, but apparently we still live through the stuff that happens after we're taken?

Can't leave? But my friends will be looking for me! [She's frantic, at first, but calms, quickly, her pace slowing.]

Friend? [Tohru's thrown, at first, not expecting something so soon. But then she's immediately touched, this new person seconds away from being hugged.]

I think I would like that, very much. My name is Tohru Honda. [She gives a polite bow.] May I have your name?

[She's a little confused, at first, and has to give this some consideration. So she's been pulled from home....]

Does that mean there's two of me, now? I hope the other me doesn't get lost.

I've been told that time stops for you at home so no one notices you're gone.

[It's only fair to offer friendship. Jinora felt better once she knew she had some friends in this city. She returns the bow, pleased to have found someone else who observes that formality.]

I'm Jinora. It's food to meet you, Tohru Honda.

Time stops? The city, does it control time? What an amazing city!

It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Jinora. [Her hands are clasped in front of her from effort not to just hug her right then and there. Jinora's pretty insightful - thinking she has a friend does help Tohru feel a little better. A little less frightened and less worried, too.]

It is amazing! There's a giant library and a garden and all kinds of things!

[She gets a handle on her excitement and smiles at the other girl.]

You can just call me Jinora since we're friends, Tohru.

A garden! [She might want to see that. And a large library, just because it sounds neat.]

But that's.... [Thrown, again. There were manners, and then there was being considerate of another's wish.] Okay. Jinora, then.

You could show me some of these things, if that would be alright? I wouldn't want to take up your time.
