Jemma: Well, I was wondering that, so we could see about getting you back home, dear! I'm sure you have some friends or family that miss you, you can't be gone for all that long - they'd be worried sick you know.
*The little girl nods as her mother comes back, flicking the light off on the desk...
Jemma: How long have I lived here?
*She takes a moment to think about that, having to count on one hand and mutter things to herself as she walks around the building, drawing the blinds and clicking off lights.*
Jemma: Well, not for awfully long. I moved here with my husband after discovering...
*The girl hugs you back a little tighter, visibly relaxing under your embrace.*
*Jemma has already walked off, starting to turn off lights and close the blinds, locking up the library to be extra safe.*
*Meanwhile, Sheila moves back, pointing at you, then at the ground, and shrugging. Probably...
*The girl stares at you, shuffling a little and drawing in a gentle breath.*
*After several more moments of silence, Sheila nods and gives you a little hug - a sign of trust.*
Jemma: Oh- I suppose that's a yes then. Let me lock up and I can take us all home - how does that sound?
*The...
Cedric: Tha forest y'say? That on' ofa there?
*He gestures over your shoulder, past the park and the road and towards the forest you'd emerged from.*
Cedric: Didje fall asleep in th' leaves an' just wake up, maybey? Weird fings happen in those trees, don' like goin' fru it meself... Ye sure...
*The man jumps a bit, but looks up at the knock.*
*A pipe shifts in his mouth in almost a semi-disgruntled way as he puts down the paper and takes his boot-clad feet off the counter, standing and walking to the door with heavy thudding footsteps.*
*The man opens the door, clearly a captain...
???: Oh dear...
*The genuine concern in her voice is overwhelming. She adjusts her glasses, trying to think of a way to help you.*
???: I'm afraid I wouldn't know how you got here either, other than walking to the library, but no matter - we'll help you on your way, sir. Have you just moved...
Barry: HEH! Ol' Shiro there? Guess it WOULD be some kinna tourist place for you, anyway! Ain't a tourist attraction, it's the shinin' gem of all Kioku Island! Got a lotta stuff in there like a fancy restaurant, bunches of apartments and hotel rooms, a spa is in the works, an' theres a real nice...
*The girl shuffles her feet together even more before skittering over to her mother, clinging to her trenchcoat with her big brown eyes still turned up to look at you.*
Jemma: Oh, it isn't you, Miss W- she's this way with... everyone. She wasn't always, but one day she came home and just...
Jemma: W? I-I see... How strange- then perhaps the house on the news belongs to you...
*A young girl stands in the doorway of the library. She looks around 8 years old, wearing a thick blue winter coat and a yellow scarf with pink pinstripes. Her hands and feet have matching pink and white...
???: Yes dear, edible cookies. The monetary value of the things is a bit surprising. Many people accept both cookies and cash.
*The woman laughs gently when you act so sweet to her.*
???: Ah- no, no, please. My name is Genevive, but if you prefer, you may call me Jemma. You're far too sweet...
(Pardon the long time before a reply, I'm here and ready to play!)
* The forest floor is littered with pine needles and mulch and decaying leaves, like any forest would be. Tiny ferns are peeking up from the bases of trees. A few birds flying overhead cast shadows on the ground, enjoying their...
???: Oh - well, if it helps any, then you can use cookies as payment for an apartment?
*She smiles gently once more.*
???: Oh dear, you really are lost. If you like, I have a guest bedroom you may use for the night. That or, I heard on the news that a new house just appeared right in the...
???: The map? Oh- yes of course dear, right this way-
*She stands up, smoothing out her skirt and carefully scooting around you with a gentle and polite "excuse me". She moves through the shelves past a childs reading table, over to a pedestal with a large book.*
???: You've come at the right...
*Thousands of colors swirl around you as your foot hits something solid. An invisible force ever so gently pushes you out of a multicolored portal and into the light of day, purple and gold particles sparking around the edges of the vortex... It seems you're in what looks like a small forest of...
