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.

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

One last light of it, yes.

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.

[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.

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.

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

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck with adapting.

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?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

The 1800s? Try the 21st century. Do I look like a ruffled collars and painful corsets kind of girl?

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

Well, the screen is small, so I can't really tell what you're wearing. And women- women don't wear corsets all the time.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Women don't wear corsets where I come from either, not all the time, and when they do it's usually to prove a point.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

What sort of point?

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Mostly that they have boobs.
