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.

...Put in you?

Did they cut you open and stick little demon pieces in there? Or something like that?

You're actually looking for this... girl. Because you plan on giving her to someone?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really work that way, no. It's... a little more... I don't even know how to explain this.

Not give her to someone, just show her to someone. I plan on- I plan on helping her get back into the sky, anyway.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I ... I probably would have a hard time understanding it, even if you explained it.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

How do you plan on doing that?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Thus my reason for refraining.

I've got a magic candle.

I'll just leave it up to my imagination to fill in the gaps.

What's a magic candle gonna do? Blind her? She's a star. I think she beats you candles in light intensity.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Probably with more of your woman-hating.

It's a magic candle that can transport a person anywhere they wish.

I- I don't hate women!

You have that with you here?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

You sounded pretty suspicious of them the last time we talked.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

One last light of it, yes.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

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?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

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

1/2

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

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.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

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.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

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

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck with adapting.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I meant to locate my mother, but I accidentally thought of the star and Victoria and ... landed here, since- since the star was here.

Supposedly, well- I heard, or at least I noticed- I noticed that most people are from a later time than me.

Are you from the 1800's?
