[Hello Luceti! You might hear some frustrated murmurs of a girl who may or may not sound familiar before the screen opens up. Behind her are trees. You might notice that first—OR! The first thing you might notice is the bright gold/white wings on her back, or maybe it’s the twig she failed to find out of her curly golden hair, or maybe it’s the fact that her cat-green eyes look absolutely furious. She pauses, before she begins to speak, posture ramrod straight, lips pursed.]

I find myself in need of assistance, if you please. While I am not familiar with this sort of fontech, I know enough. To those that have successfully taken me away from my kingdom, listen very carefully.

[her lip curls slightly, a bit of that anger in her eyes slowly spreading to her otherwise regal tone of voice ]

I demand to know where I am, immediately. To those of you who are not involved in this ..this indecency [her cheeks color. This is wrong on so many levels. ] I request all the information you can offer me. [she raises her hand to try and reach back and touch what she knows is clearly a hurt back, but her shoulder lances with pain. What did her captors do to her? Dropping it at her side, she looks back at the screen, raising her chin. ]

You will be rewarded, I can promise you that. As for those of you who had the audacity to pull off this joke, take heed: [her voice rises]

How dare you carry out such a despicable act!. Anyone who considers taking away Kimlasca-Lanvaldear’s Princess in broad daylight without her consent is considered from this point an enemy of both herself and His Majesty, King Ingobert the Sixth. You have taken me from my Castle and my people, and I cannot forgive such injustice.

Once I return to my Father’s side, and I will return, you will be found, you will be judged, and you will be punished according to your actions.

[with one more scathing glare, the Princess shuts off the feed]

Huh? Help? [She looks a bit puzzled.] We don't really need help. This place isn't too bad most of the time! Everything's free!

..But with being captives, wouldn't it be--ah, more--unpleasant?

Well, sometimes...[She looks a bit more sombre.] There are these experiment-things that happen monthly, and sometimes one of us gets kidnapped by ourselves and experimented on too.

Experimented?

Yeah...They do all kinds of awful things. Sometimes, it's pretty funny but other times, it's just awful. [ Do you see that sadface. >: ]

Have they...have they done it to you?

Don't worry! I only got here two months ago, so I haven't been in anything too bad yet. [She searches for a lighter subject.] So, where are you right now? Is anyone coming to get you?

Tear is...I believe I will be staying with you all. I admit it's quite nostalgic..

Really?! That's great! I've missed you so much, Natalia! Now, we just need to get Guy here and we'll all be together again! Let's keep talking until Tear gets to you! What else do you want to know about Luceti?

I've missed you too. [ going seperate ways after..--well, it's hard. she missed them all. she smiles, easily won over by her enthusiasm ]

How about we start with the 'good things'. I trust there are at least some?

Everything's free here! [That definitely counts as a 'nice thing' in her book.] And most of the people are pretty nice!

Then perhaps it isn't so bad?

Yeah, it's mostly just the experiments that are the problem...Oh, and sometimes the Malnosso kidnap us away to experiment on individually too. Those are the scariest.

...I'll look into this matter immediately. There must be a way to prevent these casualties.

If anyone can do it, you can! [She smiles a bit.] It's probably gonna be tough tough. I've heard that some people have been stuck here for years already!

..Years. They must be missing their homes deeply---I have to do something.

They might have gotten used to being here, actually! I've never really seen people complain that much about being stuck here! [Come to think of it, she had settled down pretty well herself, hadn't she?] It's pretty fun to not have to work all day!

..Are you happy here, Anise?

Huh? [This actually takes a bit of thought.] Yeah, I guess I am! I mean, aside from the weird experiments, this is a pretty nice place to be.

I see..

Cheer up, Natalia! I'm sure we'll find a way home someday! I'll make sure you enjoy Luceti while we're looking!

Thank you, Anise. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Let's enjoy ourselves then.

Right! So, where are you going to live?
