( The fresh-faced teenager that appears to the network should -- repeat, should -- be full of life and exuberance. She's a very pretty face, with sunshine-blonde hair and bright blue eyes, and her expression is dripping with irritation, frustration, rage; it's tinged with fear, too. But there's also something darker, lurking beneath the surface, flickering behind those eyes. )

I don’t appreciate being black-bagged. ( She scowls into the locket. ) In fact, I don’t appreciate any of this. The kidnapping, the dragging me here, the fact that I can’t seem to leave despite my best efforts... The way every single thing in my family’s book is conveniently just slightly out of the range of reasonable difficulty with only one person... You brought me here alone on purpose, didn't you? What is this? What are you planning?

( Then, in that darker tone, as her face takes on an almost shadowed expression, she murmurs. ) Do you have my sister?

[ First things first: ] Who's your sister?

[powerful]

Her name's Diana Meade. She's a little taller than me, about five feet, eight inches or so? Brunette, brown eyes.

[overdraws]

I don't know anyone by that name, sorry. I'll keep an eye out, though?

[powerful]

Thanks. I'd really appreciate it. Tell her it's Cassie, and I know she doesn't really want to see me right now, but I need her. We need to stick together. If you see her, I mean.

Doubt you'll get a response on these. [she's trying to help, honest.] Fuck if I've ever seen a fairy — or the royalty — using lockets.

[powerful]

Thanks for the heads up. ( sounds like the best life ever just began, fuck this place. ) Guess I'll have to march myself up there, then, won't I?

[ex_audacity56]

[she likes that response.]

Best idea I've heard. They've got to at least tell you something. [a beat.] What's your sister's look like?

[Video]

[wildgift]

I don't think anyone appreciates it. At least, it seems, we're being taken care of well enough.

[Video]

[powerful]

What about kidnapping is anything near being taken care of? Because they give us beds? Prisoners of war get beds. Maximum security prisons have beds. There's no actual caring here.

[Video]

[wildgift]

Fair enough, though they're infinitely better than other places you could be sleeping.

[goldsickness]

I doubt you will find those amongst us who appreciate having been brought here, much like you. In the same line, I think you'll find those responsible will not care to answer to this message.

[ They might not even answer her even if she asks them when face to face. ]

What is your sister's name?

video;

[powerful]

They don't have to answer this message. If I don't get an explanation from them voluntarily, I'll find a way to make them talk. ( there's a flicker of darkness in her eyes. fire. it's coursing through her veins right about now. )

Her name's Diana Meade. Brunette, brown eyes. She's friendly. If she were here, she'd probably know just about everyone.

[ Thorin looks largely unimpressed by her tone or demeanor. Though he understands the sentiment, by now he knows better. ] I would not be too hopeful. There are many a powerful people in these lands, and none have yet found a way to force the monarchs into saying or doing anything they do not wish to.

[ He shakes his head. ] I've not met her. She might not be here.

video.

[mixcds]

There doesn't seem to any real ulterior motive. They really do just want us all to fight a war for them.

[Sisters though. ]

What's your sisters name?

video.

[powerful]

They could've timed it a little better. ( she mad )

Diana Meade.

video.

[mixcds]

Tell me about it.

I haven't heard from her, but if I do, I'll direct tell her you're looking for her?

[By now, Enma has managed to secure himself something more appropriate to wear around a drafty castle, looking more like a native than someone from his world. It doesn't make him too happy but he'll have to put up with it until he can get his hands on something more comfortable]

People like that wouldn't bother talking to people on here.

[By that, he means the royals. He slumps, feeling a pang of sympathy when she mentions family. He can understand those worries, somewhat]

I don't think...they would have your sister and not say anything. They don't have my family so...

video

[powerful]

So I'm learning. ( everybody here hates the people in charge, it seems. more or less, anyway. this is good for cassie's rebellious teenage anger. )

If they wouldn't say anything about other information, why would they just be forthcoming about our families? What makes you think that's somehow outside of the range of information they'd withhold? Clearly they don't actually care about what we have to say or how we feel.

Re: video

[earthsend]

[So much rebellious teenage anger. You really don't win points by kidnapping people. Enma shifts uncomfortably]

Dunno. But...telling us they had our families seems like a way to have leverage over us, doesn't it? A way to encourage us to fight.

[ its the mention of a sibling that truly catches his attention. ]

I don't know anyone you've described as your sister. [ YES, HE SAW THE OTHER CONVERSATIONS, sue him, he's a cop. ] But, if she's not in your court, she might be in the other; they stay pretty separate, and not everyone uses the lockets right away, or at all if they can help it.

video; private.

[powerful]

( stalking stalker who stalks, wow )

Oh, great. That's awesome to know. ( fucking hate ) How do I access the other court, then? Like, if I want to look for her.

[jaywalks]

[ WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT??? have you modern people all been so tainted by youtube comments not to want to see what others have to say, to prevent things from getting repetitive? ]

There's fairy rings near the castle if you want to visit in person. Or find someone who can look for you.

But chances are, she's just not here yet. People from the same world that get brought usually know each other, or are related.
