[The video feed comes to life, showing the face of a 16-year-old girl with unruly red hair. Her eyes are open and curious but also seem to burn with a certain kind of determination. Her hair sways slightly as she takes one step after the other taking in her surroundings, which appear to be rather close to the movie theatre in Sector 4. Walking the streets, she can’t help but touch some of the brick buildings with wonder in her eyes.]

These buildings are so different from what we have at home. I am sure Kija would much prefer to sleep in one of them. [She smiles fondly, then – as if remembering the video she started recording -starts to speak straight at the viewer.]

My name is Yona and I just woke up over there. [She points towards the movie theatre.] If this works like the message I saw, someone should hear me, so … if anyone has seen someone named Hak or Kija, Jaeha, Shin-Ah, Zeno or Yoon, please tell me.

[Her voice and demeanour change slightly, as she carries on. The determination stays intact but the strong feelings she harbours for her companions seem to fill her words and gaze. It’s nearly as if she wants to ease their minds a lot more than her own. She has something to work hard for and won’t stop until she achieved it; something about her leaves no doubt about that being true.]

If any of you hear this, please answer if you can. I am fine, so don’t worry about me. I will do my best to find all of you. Just wait for me.

[With a smile from Yona, the video message ends.]

[ While he couldn't say that he was pleased being in a prison - or in this ugly orange jumpsuit - there were things to be thankful for, right?

At least anyone can notice that he seems to have taken to the food stalls right away. In particular anything that happens to contain sugar. The sweeter the better; but he does have a preference for any kind of melon flavored things.

He seems to be in a very good mood when he starts his feed. ]

Well. I can't say that I've ever been to a prison like this before, it's quite different from any that I have heard of before. But I suppose that I ought not complain, it could be like the prisons in the movies or like the last prison I visited.

[ "Visited" might be a bit wrong, he went there to break out his father. He would have preferred not to, of course, but you did what you had to do. ]

introductory matters aside... Oh, I suppose I didn't do that. I'm J. Hello. [ He waves. ] Now! On to more important matters; Veridical and Conscienti. They do say that the dome will not break from the pressure, and if that's true -- 2400 psi is not a little amount of pressure -- I am curious to know how they are able to keep the dome from breaking under such an amount of water. If it does break, we'll all die either from being hit by the water or by drowning, and I'd prefer none of those alternatives... [ Thoughtfully, he touches his chin, gaze briefly going up. ] Although I suppose that if I had to choose one or the other, I'd prefer to be crushed by the pressure. Drowning does seem so unpleasantly painful. [ His expression brightens again. ] Ah, well! Schematics and certain death aside, I think I will get along with these particular culinary experiences. [ He waves his candied melon through the air, as if the feed cutting off was made by the movement of his improvised "wand". ]

Wendy doesn't really know what is going on. She doesn't understand and she is upset because of it. She wants to curl up and hide, when she hears the voices explain where she is and why she's there. But she can't do that, she won't forgive herself if she were to give up just like that! She is a member of Fairy Tail, and the Sky Dragon Slayer! She needs to do something, rather than just huddle up and cry.

So she wipes the tears that had been emerging at the corner of her eyes, and stands up abruptly. It seems as if she is unable to use her magic right now but she couldn't use it while she was in Edolas, either, and she had managed then!

Sure, she had not been all alone, but this wasn't her first time in a new and unfamiliar place! She could figure something out for sure! "Yes!" She nodded firmly, a fist of determination formed in front of her. But what should she do...? "I can't do like Natsu-san and just barge into places shouting..." she thinks aloud. "Erza-san would demand answers, Gray-san would..." weird people out by his stripping habits so he wouldn't get a chance to ask questions... "And Lucy-san..." She contemplates in silence. Then sighs, figuring that there's only one thing she really can do for now. "I guess my best option is to look around and ask people for answers when I find them.." Ahh, she wishes Carla was with her right now, she really wishes that the Exceed was with her, things were always better with her around.

She seemed to be in an area meant for shopping? There are definitely stores there, and as she drifts from the curb she had originally found herself in, she sees a store with a very odd name. 'Plush rump' is not the most common name of a shop, as far as she knows. But her attention is caught by another store name, and it makes her stop in her way. "Magical Emporium..?" She is a mage, of course it would catch her attention.
