Yvaine? Yvaine?

....

YVAINE.

[ that last yell sent birds flying from their tress, if the sudden rush of chittering was any hint. yes, he's still in the forest after three weeks. ]

Where did you run off to? Honestly, this place is dangerous. You- You could get yourself hurt, and then I'd-

[ paaause, wait! here comes the light bulb, and he takes the communicator out of his pocket, snapping it on...only to realize it was already on in the first place. ]

...Blasted thing. There's no sense to how it works, turning off and on like its got a mind of its own. Probably does have a mind of its own, if you ask me.

Anyways, what was I, oh-

Hello, City? Everyone? I was wondering- I was wondering if any of you have seen a woman wandering around? Blonde hair, silver dress, insufferable temperament. Yells and complains quite a lot, so I'm sure it's not hard to miss her.

[ crickets chirp, and yes those are actual crickets. ]

I've got to find her. She's a star, you see- I'm sure this is the first time she's touched ground in ... in centuries, and she could easily get hurt running off by herself. So if any of you see her, would you please direct her to me? Or rather, actually- Would you tell me where she is?

My thanks for your assistance.

I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.

I was suspicious of both men disguised as demons and women disguised as demons. I wasn't singling a specific gender out.

How do you light something like that? A magic matchstick?

[bufferprincess.livejournal.com]

I hope the device doesn't start reading your mind then.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have a hard time in this place if you can't get over that one.

A regular matchstick. But you've got to really concentrate hard for it to work.

[a dry laugh]

There's a reason why I'm here, instead of there.

I told you I'm trying. It's certainly a culture shock to go from provincial England to ... to this. Whatever adjective you'd use to describe this place.

By using his stupidity against him.

She's a star, not just a woman. And I- I believe this is the first time she's ever been away from the sky.

...come again?

A star?

[He's attempting to suspend his belief. ...which is easier than feigning disinterest.]

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

A star.

Like the ones you see when you look up at the sky.

Can it?

Except this one fell?

Sure didn't take you for some kind of hippie.

Maybe a prep school kid.

Something- Something knocked it from the sky. I believe it was a necklace, but it happened back in her- our world. A world in my world, technically.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what a 'hippie' is. Is it something like a Macaroni? And if it is, I'm certainly not.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

You mean, you'll tickle his feet with your fur?

[anoblemouse.livejournal.com]

[...]

Yes. Exactly that.

[keepingoddhours.livejournal.com]

Maybe you gone and hit your head cause I ain't got a fuckin' idea about the macaroni. Cookin' ain't my job!

Yvaine is missing?

There's a reason we're all here. What's your excuse?
