1 ❀ Accidental Voice

[pigtailed_loli]

[Hello, Luceti! On this fine day, you'll be greeted with a close-up look at a certain pigtailed loli as she shoves her face close to the camera while examining her journal. When she leans back slightly, you'll be able to see that she's wearing the white cotton sundress of a New Feather.]

What's this thing?

[The camera shakes violently as Anise

Comments

[soreplaceable]

[Of all the things Ion was expecting to see upon opening his journal today, a close of up Anise's face was certainly not one of them. He stares for a moment or two in disbelief, wondering for a moment if he was only dreaming. The shaking coupled with her voice snaps him out of it.]

Anise...? Anise, can you hear me?

[pigtailed_loli]

[dsufhsudf WHOA! Anise fumbles and drops the journal. Hope you enjoy the view of her feet!]

Ion...? Ion, where are you?

[soreplaceable]

[...way to go, Anise. Perhaps it's because he's just so happy to hear her voice again that he doesn't even stop to think about how she's reacting, or rather, how she isn't reacting to hearing his voice right now.]

My voice is coming from the journal you just dropped. Pick it up and you should be able to see me.

[pigtailed_loli]

[That makes no sense whatsoever but Ion isn't one to play games, so Anise does as she's told, giving the journal a hesitant shake.]

This is so weird. Do you know what's going on? Did we get kidnapped?

[But Mohs is arrested, the God Generals are dead and Asch isn't the type to pull pranks...Maybe this is the work of someone dissatisfied with the Order refusing the read the Score? But Ion didn't sound hurt...]

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

You've been here for "ages?" What's taking you so long?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[...Wait. Why is her journal talking? She flipped it open and peered at it again, frowning. Maybe it's fontech...?]

I think I'm lost. Please help me! Please!

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

I'm afraid you're going to be "lost" for a long time.

Where exactly are you lost?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[He kind of reminds her of the Colonel, only more brusque. But this definitely isn't the Colonel's voice.]

In some forest. I don't know this place! [Although, admittedly, all forests look pretty alike to her.] There's a river nearby.

[A pause.] Um, what do you mean I'll be lost for a long time? Is there any way to get back to Daath? I mean, most cities have ferries to Daath, so...

[voice]

[offallingsnow]

[No. No, it can't be.]

Anise?

[voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[This voice sounds kinda familiar...Frowning at the journal now.]

Yep, it's me, the one and only adorable Anise Tatlin! How come you know my name?

[voice]

[offallingsnow]

[If that isn't the worst arrow to the heart. She doesn't remember. Nephry closes her eyes for a moment before answering]

My name is Nephry. I'm...Jade's sister.

[voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

Oh, yeah...I've met you before, right? In Keterburg? [It had been the biggest shock ever to find out the Colonel actually had a sister.] So, Nephry, do you know where we are?

[itsaxingthing]

Well 'abducted' is one word you could use to describe this place.

[pigtailed_loli]

Did you abduct me then? [Okay, play nice for now, Anise. Threatening to rip off his head won't accomplish anything.] What do you want from me?

[itsaxingthing]

Nothing at all. I've been abducted, just like you.

[pigtailed_loli]

Seriously? [Unsure if she completely believes him, but oh well.] Then who's doing the abducting?

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[That's a voice he hasn't heard in a while. Luke stares for a few seconds before it hits him that he should probably let her know he's here, though he has to squint when Anise shakes her journal.]

Anise!

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Ah, the voice of her sweet prince~ So Luke is stuck here too, huh.]

Luke! Ohhh, it's such a relief to hear your voice again! Where are you? Can you come rescue me? ♥

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[... Yup, it's Anise all right.]

Yeah, sure. Where are you?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[What's with that expression. AREN'T YOU GLAD TO SEE HER. ;~; ]

I'm almost at the village! [Well, actually, Ion is coming for her...But no need to tell Luke that.]
