[vitalistic]

[Here she is in some foreign place and some foreign device in her hand. Naturally, her curiosity takes over as she begins to press buttons in the device, seeing what each of them did and what came up. Before long, her curious face is broadcasted to everyone, though that face is turned to complete and utter disgust and shock when she sees very

[ Tyr...can honestly say he has no idea what's going on here. Usually he checks the device every day, earlier in the day, but no. Estelle disgusted face is the first thing he sees today. He's a little concerned, but mostly confused. ]

Did you spill something on yourself?

[She’s a little surprised to see that someone is speaking to her via this device, and oh, there’s a face on there too! While she doesn’t recognize him, she’s happy to know that people are kind enough to speak to her through them! There’s still a blush on her face as her pout slowly turns into a small smile.]

Ah, n-no, I didn’t spill anything. [Her voice sound flustered, but no matter! However now that she has someone speaking to her...] May I ask, what exactly is this device that I am speaking to?

[ ...She must be new, he thinks. New and very embarrassed. He won't pry into the second part, though. ]

I don't think it's called anything special... It's just a machine that lets people communicate with each other over the City's network. [ There's not really any more precise way to put it, he thinks. ] Did you just find it recently?

[She honestly looks impressed that this device can do something like this, despite it having such inappropriate pictures on here.] I think that’s amazing. [There’s a little bit of a pause though, as she thinks of a good way to word this next part…] Does this device usually have…pictures of ourselves? [She puts emphasis on ‘pictures’, hoping he knew what she was talking about.]

To answer your second question, yes I just found this device. I am also unfamiliar with this location… [And it worries her a bit that this place isn’t somewhere she had read about.]

[blastiafreak]

[What with the curse going around, Rita's been preferring to avoid the network today, besides the occasional scanning for anything important.

Ugh, gross pictures, gross pictures, Estelle, gross pictures--

Wait.]

[blastiafreak]

[She has to do a double-take to make sure, but--Estelle. It has to be Estelle. Rita wastes no more time nearly shouting at the device to get her friend's attention.]

Estelle! Hey, Estelle!

[vitalistic]

[She jumps a bit at hearing her name, especially since she heard her name being called by a familiar voice.]

R-rita? Is that you? [Though looking at her device, yes that most certainly looked like her! A large smile appears on her face, especially since she wasn’t alone in this foreign place. In fact, seeing Rita meant that perhaps she passed out for a little while and was transported here - though thinking about it that way, those facts didn’t quite line up. Oh well, that’s what asking questions is for!] Where are we? [And hopefully she didn't see those pictures of Estelle...]

[blastiafreak]

[And that's definitely Estelle. Not that Rita thought it was an illusion or anything, but...She quickly nods all the same.]

Yeah, it's me. [But the next question is a little more sobering. As much as Rita's glad to see her, Estelle's stuck here again, and she doesn't remember.] We're in some weirdo place called the City...You don't remember it or anything, do you?

[twisthervision]

Are you alright, miss?

[Luckily Mithos hasn't found anything vile on his own device though that will change soon enough but he has been avoiding looking around the network most of the day to avoid the...gross human nudity.]

[vitalistic]

[Estelle nods to him, giving him a noise of affirmation that she was alright.] Yes, besides arriving here, I am doing quite well. Thank you for asking. [Okay, also aside from the pictures, but everyone here has been so kind, and Rita is here too!]

[twisthervision]

It's not so bad here, at least if you have people to support you.

[Total lies. He doesn't need any of these humans. Even if Yuri has glorious hair.]

[vitalistic]

[She nods at that.] Yes, I have already spoken with one of my friends, so I am sure I will do just fine!

[And him saying that was quite encouraging. And yes, Yuri has great hair; Estelle always wants to play with it!]

[vitalistic]

[Estelle can’t help but cock her head to the side a little upon seeing this girl. The way she spoke to her implied that she knew her. Rita did ask Estelle if she didn’t remember this place, so perhaps she knew her from before? Still, that didn’t make any sense. Rather than think about it too much, she instead spoke:]

Oh hello! I…I don’t believe we’ve met, however, yes I am Estellise - I mean Estelle. [Okay, so this girl did really know her if she called her ‘Estelle’.]

I…I will try not to worry about them too much. You’re speaking about the pictures, are you not? [It wasn't that hard to figure out since she wore an embarrassed expression.]

[vitalistic]

[She smiled and nodded at that polite introduction, then bowed her head towards the camera, as if she was politely accepting that introduction.]

It is a pleasure to meet you…[A beat.] …again, Euphie! [Hopefully that was okay?] So, you had no recollection of the previous time you were here, either? [That honestly calmed her a bit, and made her feel a little better. ]

The pictures, they’re a part of a ‘curse’, am I correct? [Rita had already explained that to her, so she’s up to date on that.]

[notflynn]

--Estelle?

[notflynn]

Huh- you're not kidding.

Welcome back! [He grins into the camera]

[notflynn]

Something wrong?

[vitalistic]

[See Estelle. See Estelle get all flustered when she sees Yuri responding. ‘Welcome back’? So, was she here before and she left? That’s the only possible conclusion she could come up with, yet she still can’t remember a thing about this place. Even though she’s flustered, she manages a smile, trying to hide the fact that she just saw lovely pictures of herself on this strange device.]

Yuri! [Well, she had heard he was here, so she’s not terribly surprised to see he responded. She then shakes her head.] N-no, there’s nothing wrong.
