( 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?

Oooo-kay. ( right so. this is weird. ) So basically, we're both in a weird world, and we're clearly from different worlds of our own. Great. Let's just add another element of weird to this freakfest.

[wildgift]

I'm sorry, what? I think I might only understand half of what comes out of your mouth.

[Video]

[powerful]

I have a feeling you and I aren't even remotely the same.

Re: [Video]

[wildgift]

I'm afraid I don't take your meaning.

[Video]

[powerful]

We're very different, from different worlds. We won't always understand each other.

Re: [Video]

[wildgift]

I suppose that makes sense in a strange, crazy way.

[Video]

[powerful]

It's better than constantly trying to translate, isn't it?

[Video]

[wildgift]

You might be right. But I'm afraid I may relapse.

[powerful]

I'm sure we can figure something out eventually. It isn't like you're unpleasant or something. Just a little... Archaic, I think. Compared to me. Or something. We have different words for stuff, at the very least.

[Video]

[wildgift]

I suppose "archaic" is better than "unpleasant." If only slightly.

[Video]

[powerful]

Well it's not meant as an insult or anything.

[Video]

[wildgift]

No? Then thank you, I suppose.

[Video]

[powerful]

I'm just making a general observation. Hey, what year is it, anyway?

Re: [Video]

[wildgift]

For me? 798 AF. Here, I can't say.

[powerful]

Um - ... AF? What's the AF stand for? We don't have any years like that where I'm from. It's BC and AD.

[wildgift]

After the Founding.

[powerful]

The founding of... what, exactly?

[wildgift]

Valdemar.

[powerful]

And we're back to Valdemar. What's it like?

[wildgift]

I don't really have anything to compare it to. I like it there, but I'm not sure what else to tell you.

[powerful]

I mean, the landscape... the people. Maybe compare it to here?

[wildgift]

Truth be told,I haven't seen much of it. I was either too busy trying to survive the night or in Haven. They kept me there for my Journeyman rather than sending me out like they typically do. But I suppose it's much like this place, only without the fairies.

[powerful]

Survive the night? Yikes. Why the fight for your life?

[wildgift]

[This is where he gets a little frosty, even if it's entirely his fault for bringing it up.]

Because I was on the street for the first half of my life. Go to bed too hungry and your liable to just never wake up.

[powerful]

( oh. man that ice, bro, she can feel it through the locket. )

... Oh. I'm sorry.
