First Feather [Accidental video]

[everydayimsuffering]

[The Pcd flickers on, though all there is to see is blood dripping from somewhere and concrete. The sound hasn’t quite picked up yet, the video itself a little rough before suddenly the feed is thick with heavy breathing and a pained moan trapped behind grit teeth. This is followed by shoes sliding against gravel, and another soft sound of pain before a teenage boy comes into view of the video, slumped against the wall of a building.

His hands are gripping his left leg where, now that video is coming more into focus, an arrow has gone straight through and lodged itself in his thigh. His clothes look a little worse for wear, his cheek is bleeding, skin is red and raw.]

M-mokona? Where did you take me? I...Where is the princess?

[All in all the building seems to fit the setting he had been in before, but it isn’t the same, its different, and also devoid of strangers. Gritting his teeth again, he pushes himself to stand slowly, ignoring the pain in his leg as he limps. He moves further away from the camera but despite the slow movements he looks frantic, yelling at the top of his lungs in search of someone important to him.]

Princess? Princess!?

Video] lj ate the notif for this :|

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

That's a little comforting. Though this place seems to be in poor shape. A lot of it looks old, but there is new damage here. Did something happen recently?

[Video] lj, notifs are not tasty

[buntails.livejournal.com]

There were a lot of fires. We put them out, and we're working to repair the damage, but there's a lot of work to do still.

[Video] Well you know, goats eat everything.

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

That sounds unfortunate...I'd like to offer my services if you need them.

[Video] /sob D: stupid goat-infested lj

[buntails.livejournal.com]

But right now, I think you need help yourself. Can you get to the clinic if I tell you where it is? I can come show you if you need it.

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

I...There is a boy coming to help me, but thank you Miss Usagi. Is there any way to tell me where it is for future reference if needed?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I can give you the coordinates. [They're one of the ones she keeps handy for just such a purpose. X,Y.]

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

[He'll keep those noted until he can figure out how to use the PCD for navigation. If he weren't so confused, he might actually be excited about the thing.]

Thank you ma'am.

[A pause.]

Do new residents come often without knowing how they arrived?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

It sounds pretty weird, but... that's how it happens.

Oh! That's right. This is called Adstringendum.

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

No, I've been to places like this before, but generally I knew how to leave. Here, its not quite so easy.

Are there any local residents or are you all foreigners to this land?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

There's the scientists, but they're sort of hidden away, and I don't know if they were from here originally either, but I think so.

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

Has anyone talked to them before? I'd like to meet them...I mean, if they weren't all from here you'd think they would want to leave as well.

Or figure out how to fix this place. Scientists are ones to solve problems, right? Well, that and create them.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Trying to find them was what led to the fires. It isn't a good idea to keep going until everyone decides what to do.

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

Well if it causes problems for the people, then I guess I can do without. We all leave eventually right? Its the Animus' choice who comes and goes?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Whatever was doing it just doesn't seem to be working properly or something like that. [She is the worst person to ask for clear explanations, really.]

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure he understands, but that's okay. He can tell she's trying. So he just nods.]

I see. Thank you Miss Usagi.

Would you mind telling me who has tried before so perhaps I can learn from them?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Um, well, you could talk to Fran I guess. [They've made some general information available to everyone, so it should be fine to say so, shouldn't it?]

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

Fran?

[That's a woman's name, right?]

She sounds like a nice woman.

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Um... [How to say this....]

Fran's a guy.

[Video]

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

H-he is? Oh...I'm so glad you told me.

[Have the pleasure of seeing a very embarrassed Syaoran, Usagi. His face is red and everything.]

...There isn't a possibility of him seeing this is there?

[Video] I couldn't resist

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

No, not at all.

[SUDDENLY AN UNHAPPY STRANGER.]

[video] Poor Syao xD

[lostforhersoul.livejournal.com]

[Oh darn.]

You wouldn't happen to be mister Fran, would you?

[video] Poor, poor Syao

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I am.

...

It's a boy's name too.

[HE SEEMS INDIGNANT ABOUT THIS...]

[Video] just found this, feel free to ignore LJ version

[buntails]

Well... there is... if he looks. These posts can be seen by anyone unless you make them private or something.

[Video] Its okay <3

[everydayimsuffering]

It seems he's already found it. That's alright though...It was my mistake.

[Video] Its okay <3

[buntails]

I guess it's an easy mistake to make. [Syaoran is not the first person.]
