Style: Preferably first.
Status: Open~

... Well what do we have here? This certainly isn't the Ashford I remember. [ A dry, but lighthearted chuckle. ] I hope this doesn't count as skipping any classes.

[ There was a little coo to his voice,

[incorruption]

[She had wanted some fresh air. Now that Espoir didn't look so depressing, she was able to do it.

When she hears a voice, recognition springs up in her mind. She looks around to find the source, when she looks up to see the blond--

Oh! It was someone she recognizes!]

...Sir Weinberg? Is that you?

[leansoneveryone]

[ WHOA. Now that was one familiar voice.

Just going to whip around in the direction of it before-- ]

Your Highness-!? You're here, too? [ Okaaay. Since when were we taking a field trip to see the Empress? ]

[incorruption]

[It's a sad smile, really, that crosses her face. She's getting used to that first impression of royalty, but...she wishes they wouldn't. But courtesy and all that required for them to do so.

She smooths her dress out, ready to get into the explanations.]

There's no need for that, here. In Somarium, I'm not an Empress. So just call me Nunnally, okay?

[leansoneveryone]

[ He almost got down on one knee to pay his respect, but Nunnally's voice stopped in in the act.

She... wasn't the Empress here? ]

Yes, Your-- heh, I mean Nunnally. [ Going to have to get use to that. ] Somarium, huh? I've never heard of a place like that before. Where is this exactly?

[incorruption]

[That's better.]

I was told that it was another world entirely. [A place where people who were dead can come back.

But she...doesn't say that. She doesn't know how well Gino would take it.]

I'm not sure how we got here, either.

[leansoneveryone]

That's funny. I don't remember hopping on the next spacecraft to a different world. [ Oh man is he going to be in for a surprise.

And since they're stuck in a world together, might as well get friendly! ]

That explains a lot. So judging by the fact that you're still here, there isn't a way out?

[incorruption]

You didn't hop into a spacecraft, I don't think.

[She nods.]

There's no way out...that I know of, anyway. People do leave, but I don't think it's their choice. It just happens - like when people are brought here.

[leansoneveryone]

Geez, talk about flaky. Oh well, guess there's nothing we can do about that.

[ Wonder if he could this could be counted as an excused absence. ]

So how long have you been here, then?

[incorruption]

Hm...

[She falls silent for a moment, thinking it over.]

About four months, I think.

[leansoneveryone]

Four months? [ That's... awhile. ]

I don't think I could stay here that long.

[incorruption]

I think a lot of people say that when they first come. But it's not really that bad, I don't think.

[Then her voice grows quieter:] Besides...there are some people from home that are here that I've missed very much.
