First day, early morning; action or voice

[intangible_girl]

[Over the journal comes the sound of someone hyperventilating. It's Ingrid, who woke up in her college dorm room this morning. After her decision after her mallynap to finish what the Malnosso started and stay out of her bubble (deciding, essentially, to die), this is a problem. She was only half sure her decision was a good one, and now that she seems to have been sent back home, it is clearly the work of madness. How is she going to explain this to her father? How is she going to watch him watch her die?

Her sobbing will build in pitch until someone speaks to her, in person or over the network. She won't notice the journal, open and transmitting on her bedside table, until someone draws attention to it.]

voice

[consultmybooks]

Ingrid...

[Giles' voice is quiet, largely because he's trying not to be overheard by the very large Garuda circling the patch of Celesta Woods that he's been chased into. God, it's cold.

Even so, after taking a breath, he forces himself to speak more loudly, and a little sharper. If Ingrid is hurt, he needs to at least get a location out of her.]

Ingrid!

voice

[intangible_girl]

[She stops mid-sob, taking in a sharp breath. The journal transmits the sounds of Ingrid fumbling with sleep-heavy limbs amongst pencils and notebooks until she manages to grab the journal. Her voice, when it comes, is completely disbelieving.]

G- G- Giles?

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

Yes. Me. Hello.

[The sound of very large wings flapping echoes overhead, causing Giles to breathe in sharply and go quiet for several seconds.

When he speaks again, the soft crunch of snow is filtering over the network as well.]

Are you hurt?

voice

[intangible_girl]

N-no, I...

[She feels like she's dreaming, but she's not hurt. The bizarre contrast of the situation has made her forget her tears for now.]

Where are you?

Re: voice -> video

[consultmybooks]

[Rather than replying, Giles flips on the video feed and turns it this way and that, letting Ingrid see for herself.

It's quite pretty, when all is said and done, with snow glittering in the sunlight on the well cobbled path and piling in a picturesque manner on the low wall bordering the path. The trees are blue and their leaves shine like gemstones.]

I have no idea.

Just that it's cold.

And the birds are enormous.

[...never mind the fact that Garuda aren't even native to this canon.]

video

[intangible_girl]

[Ingrid stares, and then switches her side to video with numb fingers. The feed is slightly blurry, but Giles should be able to see a fairly normal-looking college dorm-room, plus some medical equipment that may or may not be visible. Her voice shakes, but doesn't break.]

Giles, I think I'm back home.

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

You probably are. [Giles glances warily around before turning his attention back to Ingrid. He surveys the room and then nods, having apparently come to some kind of decision.] I've been home twice already today. I'll still bet that if you open that door and walk outside, you'll be somewhere else entirely.

It might be the village, or it might not.

video

[intangible_girl]

[Ingrid glances over at the door- the real door, not the portal she uses to get in and out intangibly. The one that's been sealed since she first moved here. It's the only way out, now. But she doesn't dare open it just yet.]

Do you think... we've actually been sent home? Or... [She's starting to feel more like herself, and she wipes the last remnants of the tears off her face and pushes her hair out of her face.]

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

No. I don't think we have. What little I've seen of my home is...entirely incomplete.

video

[intangible_girl]

So we're still in... Luceti... [She closes her eyes and breathes for a moment as this sinks in. Then she shoves it aside and opens her eyes.]

I'm going outside now.

[She doesn't move, though.]

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

Yes, I'm afraid we are.

[Giles gives her a few seconds before, gently:] Do you need help?

video

[intangible_girl]

I'm fine! I'm just-

I'm fine.

[Okay, she'll get up now. She'll stay in her pajamas for now, but she ties up her hair and faces the door. Pause.]

Are you doing alright, Giles?

[She's stalling.]

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

It's cold, there's something very large and hungry flying around, and something keeps pulling me into the air and dropping me somewhere else.

[Yep, he's good.]

video

[intangible_girl]

[That makes her stand up straighter. She's just trapped in a room she can open without trouble. This should be easy.]

I'm going out now.

[She takes in a deep breath, puts her hand on the door knob, and turns it.

Nothing. She rattles it again. Locked.]

Or not.

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

...it's locked?

[That isn't quite computing for Giles. Granted, most of the environments he's landed in have been outdoor environments. Not a lot of opportunity for locking.]

Are you trapped?
