This is stupid. [ First impressions are normally very important to this girl, but today is an exception. For anyone can take a look and see a pair of very tiny black Mary Jane shoes with a thick silver buckle. For a few inches above, one might spot black and white striped stockings, but the angle isn't good enough to spot the owner of said legs. ] A magical device of this nature is sure to cause some negative feedback, but I'm not able to get a proper reaction. How am I supposed to use this for communication? It's not as though I can just call that stupid priest to come and pick me up.

[ There are muffled noises that can only indicate she's still trying to use the device for communication even though she hasn't the faintest idea as to how. For those patient enough to wait a few minutes, she'll have the compact in the right position with quite the scowl on her face. Dressed in a blue dress with a white pinafore that seem to match her bright eyes, she's one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to wear strange attire. ]

Well, it isn't as though I would waste my time asking for his aid. [ The girl must still be rambling on about that priest as she makes a gagging noise. ] I'd be in his debt forever. I suppose none of you know how to get back either. Very well, I want to know where I can find this Alice. If she would return, then I could be on my way. I don't very well appreciate having to fill in for her. [ Her scowl deepens more. ] Especially since I haven't the slightest what makes her important enough to pull me from my studies.

[ Surprisingly, she doesn't waste the effort in introducing herself; Rin's sure that after this message, it will only be a matter of time before she returns to Fuyuki City. ]

     ☙ACTION❧
[ Looks like it's new housemate time. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of this lovely house, they have what appears to be some evil force that stomps around or well, at least that's what it may sound like. In actuality, there's a young girl who can't be more than seven years old huffing and puffing up and down the hallway. She doesn't seem thrilled to be here, which she expresses by muttering so under her breath. Her fit doesn't last very long; a child can't sit still for more than ten minutes and the door to a brand new world lies just a few feet away.

For those who might be concerned over such a young girl not returning "home", Rin eventually does make her way back to the house after a full day of exploration. Even if her curious nature insists on studying this place, she understands the importance of a curfew. Without Kirei's vexing rules on her mind, she falls into the ones her father always given her; studying, then sleep. Into the later hours of the night, she can be found in her room practicing her enunciation of certain terms and words, trying to master the words that hundreds of men have memorized long before her. ]

Comments

[anklegandr]

Alright, thanks for the help. [ She's noting those names down in memory and probably a piece of paper once she finds a pen. ] I better not actively seek them out, but if I see them around, I can ask.

You don't think I'll be punished for inquiring about it, do you?

[femininetomboy]

That's pretty unlikely. Until now they've always let us talk, even when they could still overhear all of our conversations.
They feel pretty safe as long as nobody actually takes an action there haven't been any punishments.

[anklegandr]

Action? Well, how do we know what kind of actions are permissible? How far can someone go without stepping over the line?

[femininetomboy]

If there was enough material on that, I'd write guidelines.
But it seems we can do anything as long as it doesn't get to the point of actually trying to leave the island or attacking the rulers. They let us build the boat for the escape, only when we started to use it they got nasty.

[anklegandr]

So the people here haven't done enough to warrant a guide of any sort? Is that what you're telling me?

Well, I suppose it makes sense. It'd be rude to act out in a new place with complete strangers. You wouldn't want to give the wrong impression or anything.

[femininetomboy]

We've been pretty careful up to now. Only a few of us have ever attempted anything, aside from the big escape, I mean.

We've mostly been trying to gather information and trying to work things out logically.
