one ✶

[uwawa]

[ Uh oh, looks like Viki's having a sneezing fit. Cue appearing and disappearing repeatedly, teleporting from one warp point to another in no particular order. Yes, all the warp points. ]

W-wa--no...not a--

Atchoo! [ there she goes again. ]

Atchoo! [ and again. ]

Atchoo! [ and again-- oh wait, nothing happened this time. Until there's a small rain of potted plants landing around her. ]

...oops. Ooh...I hope I didn't catch a cold. [ because that would be Very Bad. for the safety of other human beings. ]

[mercuryangel]

[Less concerned with the fact that two people just warped in from who-knows-where, she sighs.]

That's good. I understand teleporting can sometimes be stressful. Where did you learn how to do that, anyway?

[firetrap]

[ Curiously at Viki: ] Was that your power that brought us here, my lady?

[uwawa]

Uwa! I'm sorry I sneezed! At least this time we didn't get lost though...

Um...I never learned, I just knew how.

[mercuryangel]

Just knew? So you've been able to do that since you were born?

[firetrap]

[ Lu Xun remains silent while he thinks; he's curious about that question as well. ]

[uwawa]

Huh? Born? [ she says that as though she is not entirely sure what that word means. ]

Well...I've been able to as long as I can remember. [ It's just... a toss up how much she remembers. ]

[mercuryangel]

Oh. Well, if you did learn at a young age, there's a good reason you wouldn't remember it.

[firetrap]

[ Perhaps that was why she was attacked...? Lu Xun bows. ] I, Lu Boyan, thank you humbly for bringing us away from the danger. I may not have a power like yours, but I am confident in my strategies and combat abilities. Please allow me to repay the favour.

[uwawa]

H-huh? I don't... [ totally confused here and she looks around as if to see if he... could possibly be talking to someone else. ]

Did I do something helpful? [ that is about as much as she can get out of it. ] Um, I helped?

Repay...um... [ she turns again, looking for someone to explain but no, Viki's not there. ]

Are you saying you want me to join you? [ headtilt, is he the one that will watch over her this time? ]

[mercuryangel]

Yeah, it sounds like he wants to join you! [Or, was he talking to me...]

And if you don't mind, I'd like to go with you, too. Having someone that teleport around is really handy!

[Isaac's Retreat has saved her so many times... why does that have to be a Venus Psynergy?]

[firetrap]

[ Lu Xun blinks, but nods, smiling at Viki. ] Yes, my lady, you were most helpful.

[ Now, he looks at Mia, including her in his words this time. ] My country and the lord that I serve are not here in this place. This is not where I belong.... I wish to learn more about this foreign world so that I may find a path back to where I must be. Will you lend me your strengths?

[uwawa]

Your country...you want to protect? [ she is leaning towards him now in great interest, this is something that sounds... somewhat familiar.

Looks at Mia too. ARE YOU HIS PARTY MEMBER? things are starting to make sense!!1! only not ]

[mercuryangel]

I'd be happy to. I have things I need to attend to where I'm from, too; I think that together we'll be able to make it out of here.

[Well that would have been easier to say if she knew their names.]

[firetrap]

[ Looking at Viki, smiling because he and Mia have clearly come to some kind of agreement. ] Will you lend us your power, my lady?

[uwawa]

[ SHE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. But those words have a familiar ring to it. ]

Um! I'm Viki! Um...um... [ this doesn't go nearly as smoothly when it's not the first thing that happens. ]

W-would you mind looking after me this time?

[mercuryangel]

[She shakes her head, then...]

I'd be happy to. I'm Mia.

[firetrap]

I, Lu Boyan, will be honoured to. [ He bows to the both of them. ]

[uwawa]

Lu? Wasn't that last time?

O-oh, is there anywhere you want to go now? I can take you really fast!

[mercuryangel]

No, I can't think of anywhere... well, not that we could probably get to...

[She still can't stop thinking of the others, still asleep in Tolbi... as far as she knows.]

[firetrap]

[ He doesn't have his hopes up but... ] Are you able to leave this world with your powers?

[uwawa]

I don't think so... M-maybe once we do what we're supposed to do here I'll be able to um...

I'm sorry! W-wa, I can't help at all...

[mercuryangel]

It's okay, Viki... I'm sure you can help in another way.

[firetrap]

[ He nods to Mia's words, looking apologetic. ] I apologize. I did not mean to pressure you...

Perhaps a place to rest for the time being? If it is within your power. [ Please... don't cry. ]

[uwawa]

Um I think I can do that! Where was it again... um.

O-oh, please hold onto your things! Go~! [ she raises her wand and oooh shiny blue glow~ No mistakes this time, they end up... somewhere. Inside. With beds. ]

[mercuryangel]

[For some reason that seemed to not take as long as other times she's been teleported.]

It looks like it worked, Viki!
