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.

Unfortunately, while quite a number of ladies in this area can be recognized by that same temperament making finding her quite difficult, I regret to say I have not seen her.

Her and I have not met but only spoken through this thing, so forgive me for asking, but is she really a star or has she lost her mind when she told me so?

Then this City must attract a specific breed of women. [ he'd laugh if he wasn't so irritated]

Yes, she is an actual star. Not rock or stardust, but flesh and bone. Don't ask me how though. When did- When did you speak with her, Mouse?

...You're a talking mouse.

Not all of them are so... unladylike. Just a few. A few too many.

A few days ago? I do not remember exactly.

[In a deadpan voice, dripping with sarcasm you can feel. Can you feel it, Tristan?]

Really? I was unaware of that. Is there anything else I should know about myself?

A few days ago? Not yesterday or today? You're sure?

A... star. And not the famous kind.

A star like the ones in the sky.

Supposedly she's a good demon. Need to remember that ... even if it doesn't make sense.

I thought those were made up of gas and... stuff. Not people.

[bufferprincess.livejournal.com]

I think you could get hurt wondering around by yourself.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.

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

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

Maybe a prep school kid.

...a lot of women walk around on their own without much difficulty.

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.]

Yvaine is missing?

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen her for over almost two days. So yes, I- I believe she's missing.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

...if I see her I'll...

Wait.

Didn't you chain her to a tree?

[anti-buttons.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen her since her first day.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

Heard her, then?

[anti-buttons.livejournal.com]

Not recently.
