[DAY 236] [Video|Action|Open]
[The voice cuts on to someone whose voice is fading in and out in volume, as if they are moving the microphone closer and further from them. The girl hasn’t seen something this advanced before, but it doesn’t take much to realize that it is transmitting her to somewhere.]

Oh how interesting. Is this like one of those radios I’ve heard speak of? I had never imagined they were this…small. Certainly something capable of wave communication would need to be much bigger to catch the right waves? How do you fit all of the wires into such a small package?

And what does “video” mean? [Obviously she is looking at the side of the communicator only to flick the button. Suddenly the screen is full of golden brown eyes and pale blonde hair. She pulls it back a bit more.] I’m not quite sure how I came to be here, but this place is full of curious things. It’s nothing like any prison I have heard of. Your country must be very wealthy to afford it. How does the shield around the prison stay intact? I haven’t seen a Mage since I woke—

--Oh, I’m sorry, that’s very rude of me! Good morning, my name is Toul. I hope I’m not bothering anyone, but I do have some questions that it would be very helpful to me if I could have them answered. Has anyone seen a pale girl with brown hair and eyes and a dark tattoo over her left eye?

[Toul has been wandering for hours, trying to figure out whether or not this is a truly creative dream, an illusion, or if she is truly stuck in a prison. It's nothing like one she's ever heard of herself. She manages to come by the clothings shops in Sector 4 and is searching for things close to what she's used to. The jumpsuit just isn't comfortable. Too restrictive. It would be easy enough to run into her as she walks and expect that she'll definitely greet and introduce herself to anyone she sees.]

	The other day? [Someone else who thought she had been here before?] I do apologize if I'm wrong, but I think you may have me confused with someone else. I only woke up here today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ there's now a furrow in his brow ] Your name is Toul, isn't it? We spoke of your master and your apprenticeship. It was quite enlightening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes my name is Toul, but...I don't know how we could have spoken if I clearly don't remember ever being here before. [That is somewhat...distressing.] Why would I not remember such a thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he sighed and then simply shook his head slightly ] I'm afraid that question is best asked of our wardens. We are simply asked to accept that peculiarities crop up now and then to cause this phenomenon.

[ he looks suddenly awkward as he looks her in the eye. ]

You were only here for a day, at least.

[ SO. SORRY. He had to be the bearer of this odd news. But... maybe it was for the best. Sooner or later, someone would disappear. ]

	[It worries her that she could lose an entire day's worth of memories--or well, most of a day's worth, the clocks here were so strange that way--but Toul couldn't let that get her down. She had to focus on the good things.] Well, if I can't remember, then it's as if it never happened for me. It's good to meet you, sir...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, right. I should reintroduce myself. It's Bak Chang. [ he was formal as he spoke even if he was still troubled and vexed by this need for a reintroduction. Can't the wardens just keep things simple! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bakchang is quite a fascinating name. It sounds very forceful and assertive. [Like hitting a gong at a shrine.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ bakchang... OTL ] It's just Bak. And the Changs have always been at the top of their field. [ yes, even if it was a compliment on his name, he is still feeling rather pleased with himself. At last, someone recognizes his worth! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ video ] bendthekey 2013-11-06 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles and nods along.] Bak, then. I'll remember. Are the Changs a noble family in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he gets hung up on that question and there's a faint line of pink on his cheeks when he answers. ] We are well known, yes. [ three generations of branch chiefs. it's not that often a single family creates that many geniuses! ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
