mooglenet_backup[The back of Lilisette's head had only throbbed more as the white, puffball had started speaking to her. Its words went in one ear and out of the other as she idly listened, its speech familiar but not quite on par with her own world. Speaking of, the last thing she remembered was the tear-streaked face of her tag-team partner and the gaping vortex of Atomos's mouth as it loomed in the sky. Had she accomplished her task? Was she able to fulfill at least part of her promise to Lilith before she was spirited away to this mystery world?]
Hey! [When she looked up to demand answers from the creature, the space around her was empty. An illusion? As a flush of panic and frustration began to snake up her neck, the weight of the communication device registered in her palm, as well as the pamphlet wedged between that and her thumb. Lilisette presses her lips together and huffs. This must be some kind of joke.]
[Stepping back, she observed the vast town that was overlooked by a large castle. At the very least she had landed somewhere that held some semblance to her home, the city vaguely resembling San d'Oria, though it was not Elvaan that passed her in the streets. For once she missed the pompous, pious race that towered over her, but she made it a point to meet every wary gaze thrown her way with a light challenge in her eyes.]
Altana, I pray you've some purpose for this. [Lilisette sighed and rubbed the back of her neck as she grew bored of standing about, looking like a fish out of water. If she was given something that looked, under some stretch of the imagination, like a linkpearl, she supposed she should use it. At that point she had nothing else to lose.]
[Setting the device on a pallet of chopped wood, she furrowed her brows as she fidgeted with the buttons for a moment. After a few tries the light went green, and she stood back with a smile--pleased. Pressing the backs of her lightly curled fists into the small of her back she puffed out her chest a bit and stood back.]
I presume there are others in possession of this device, though I don't dare to hope that any of you are from Vana'diel. [What did she used to do when the met people, before she traveled to the past and became famous? It was awkward--her stomach was in knots. How unlike her.]
Well, if anyone is out there, I suppose you'll make yourselves known. [She turns to the side, the red ruffles that lined the light fabric of the dress she wore swaying in the wind along with her short, red hair and the blue feathers of her hair ornament.] I would also be grateful to know where I am, and where I might go.
[A beat of silence passes before she leans in close to the camera, the golden pendent on her lace choker catching the sunlight along with the star dangling from her earring. It's her mischievous grin, though, that seems most prominent.] Remember--it's rude to keep a lady waiting.

Date: 2011-05-11 09:39 pm (UTC)No. I'm a newcomer to this world. I woke here, not long ago, and was greeted by a moogle that didn't say much of anything worthwhile.
action
Date: 2011-05-13 01:12 pm (UTC)[Yes he's snuck down there for enjoying the dancers... without his parents knowing about it.]
action
Date: 2011-05-13 07:25 pm (UTC)I'd be grateful if you showed me around. The faster I get my bearings, the better! Penelo also suggested I seek out your parents, if you wouldn't mind.
action
Date: 2011-05-13 09:20 pm (UTC)[He politely extends his arm to the young lady to escort her through the town pointing out key landmarks. The lake, which is full of ladies swimming, different shops.]
There's a black chocobo nursery that way, and the King's Bounty is just ahead. Should we go there first?
action
Date: 2011-05-13 09:30 pm (UTC)Black chocobos? We rode those in the war. They're rather fierce. Y-yes! Let's go!
action
Date: 2011-05-13 09:56 pm (UTC)[He grins a little. He gets his fair share of flight now, serving in the airship corps.]
Troia's from my world. At home, it's ruled by eight Epopts and home to the Earth Crystal. Here there's only one Epopt and she's only newly arrived.
[Meanwhile, there's a rather large population of females, young and old, who are waving, with a fair few tittering and trying to get Ceodore's attention. He's completely oblivious though.]
action
Date: 2011-05-13 10:26 pm (UTC)You only have one earth crystal in your world? In mine we have thousands. Hundreds of thousands, even! But they're only used as catalysts for synthesis. An Epopt is... akin to a priest?
You're quite the popular little knight, aren't you?
action
Date: 2011-05-14 01:59 am (UTC)[Ladies' man? Hardly. The poor prince is utterly confused by the teasing.]
Huh? I... I don't think so?
[The reason for the giggling becomes even more obvious when he opens the door to the local pub. Before he can even step aside to let Lilisette in first, there's choruses of female voices. 'It's Prince Ceodore!' 'Ooh! He's with a girl!' 'How cuuuuuuuuute!' And he's suddenly thronged by a gaggle of females pinching his cheeks and ruffling his hair.
Gdit. So much for manly pride.]
action
Date: 2011-05-14 02:12 am (UTC)Do you still not think so?
action
Date: 2011-05-14 02:26 am (UTC)I'm trying to show the place to the lady. C'mon, cut it out!
[He reaches over to grab hold of her hand and try to beat a hasty retreat.]
We'll come back. Let's go find my parents!
action
Date: 2011-05-14 02:36 am (UTC)You're more than welcome to stay, Prince. I won't keep you from your eager women.
action
Date: 2011-05-14 02:43 am (UTC)[Honestly, did you see what was going on there? He's getting the kid treatment. Besides, he has a girl, and she would kick his backside if any of those others were too. Quite literally.
Poor prince rubs his cheeks and sighs a the dispersing group. They've had their laugh. SIGH.]
action
Date: 2011-05-14 02:48 am (UTC)Generally women know their place around a prince, unless he gives them a reason to not.
action
Date: 2011-05-14 03:53 am (UTC)[Well, yes, he is. But not here. He thinks...]
Sorry about that. Did you still want to talk to the dancers here?
[Ugh his cheeks hurt. Brushing down his hair so it looks almost presentable. Thank the Crystals Porom isn't around to get him with a hairbrush.]
action
Date: 2011-05-14 04:01 am (UTC)Our next stop is the castle, correct?
action
Date: 2011-05-14 12:39 pm (UTC)[He takes hold of her offered hand, and then gently tucks it back inside his arm. It's the polite thing to do and puts people on notice to leave off.]
I don't understand why they do that, although it's happened all my life. It's worse with the Epopts. My face bruised.
[He might be walking them just a touch faster than before to the castle. Not that Ceodore's in a hurry to get away from the dancer herself, but he wants to get out of the town proper ASAP.]
action
Date: 2011-05-14 03:38 pm (UTC)Have you... made a new friend, Ceodore?
action
Date: 2011-05-14 05:20 pm (UTC)Forgive my intrusion, Your Majesty. I'm newly arrived and His Highness was kind enough to show me the city.
action
Date: 2011-05-14 06:01 pm (UTC)Uh, yes. This is Lilisette. She's a dancer. Penelo suggested that she meet you and Mother.
[He glances to her for confirmation of that fact. Pretty sure that's what she said.]
action
Date: 2011-05-14 06:24 pm (UTC)That's correct. Penelo suggested I start here as a place to get my feet on the ground.
Re: action
Date: 2011-05-14 06:35 pm (UTC)It's good to meet you, Lilisette. [He inclines his head in acknowledgement when she bows, but like Ceodore, he isn't too concerned about formalities. Friends are friends and are treated as such.] You're welcome to stay in Troia as long as you wish, if it will help you to settle into being brought to Gaia. I'm sure Rosa would like to meet you, as well.
action
Date: 2011-05-14 07:20 pm (UTC)She might join the dancers at the King's Bounty.
[He knows about that secret club. Has his own membership and everything. >.>]
Re: action
Date: 2011-05-14 07:26 pm (UTC)If I can manage to visit without the women making such a fuss, I'll stop by there soon. I'm quite interested in the quality of their performance.
