[A slim girl who appears to be somewhere around twelve to fourteen years of age appears on the screen. Not much about her appearance stands out as being especially remarkable. Her colouring is a little unusual, but given the appearances of the imPorts here, nothing that startling. The one thing that does stick out about her appearance is the metal ring on her neck that isn't buckled on - it's attached right into her neck. At first, she doesn't speak, still stunned by her surroundings, and by simple things like leaves blowing in the wind and crunching under her feet. Finally, she realizes the device in her hands actually is recording. She isn't sure if it's interactive or not, but she's familiar enough with technology to get the basics of how to operate the communicator down]
Hello? [She offers a little smile. She doesn't know what that 'Welcome to the City, hero' introduction was all about. What she does get is that she's finally outside.] My name is Lily. I'm...I'm new here.
[The girl's quiet for a moment, wringing her hands. She's not sure if she should be asking this question to total strangers, or how she will be treated. So far, people on the street have stared at the ring on her neck and then moved on]
I was wondering if there was someone who could help me with...well...control.
[It's hard to come out and say it. She doesn't even know if anyone can or will help here. It's completely different than the Underground, where she had Heine and Giovanni and Lotto and Arthur and the others. She looks like she's struggling even to force the words out]
I get scared, and sometimes people get hurt even though I don't mean to. Even if it's just some suggestions on how to stay calmer...please. I would really like to hear them.
