♛First Decree: Video {not in kimlasca anymore..}

[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]

Rewarded? [Hmmm...] What sort of reward? And might it be paid in advance?

[... it's been months since Tear last heard that voice, calling out for help after the Malnosso had finished with whatever it had been they had done to her. Truthfully, she doesn't what to feel or how to react, other than the fact that she needed to find her before a certain someone else did.]

Natalia, wait!

[well... that sort of reaction's a little different from what he's used to. still, there's someone in need of help right now!!]

I... don't really think a reward will be necessary, Mi- [wait, no.] Princess!

My, my, Princess. Such an entrance.

[Hello, you furious little bargaining chip you. So wonderful to see you.]

My my, how very demanding of you. [SITS HERE CALMLY SIPPING TEA not like she was any better when she first got there...] However, do you really believe your captors would feel any fear from such threats? After all, they have already managed to kidnap you.

[Natalia. That's Natalia. Again.

Asch gazes down at the journal for a long moment, expression unreadable. His fingers curl around the paper edges, clenching tightly. He almost responds. Almost. But he doesn't know what she knows - about him, about Auldrant, about what's happened and whether or not he's already died - and surprising her with this would be unkind. Better to take it slow this time.

Thus, decision made, he stands up, the journal catching - at best - a flash of red hair before he closes it. He's out the door in moments, out to search for the errant princess. If he can't find her anywhere in the woods, he'll give her some time to get caught up and contact her later. He knows he isn't the best person to explain this place.]

Very well then.

You are near a village called Luceti, and it is very much not a joke. I would be happy to explain more of the details in person.

[He barely even registers everything Natalia said. He just hears her voice, and...]

... Natalia?

[Ah...so. The princess returns, once again. Dist doesn't say anything. He's already read most of the responses and many of her friends are already filling in the information. They'll be sure to do so better than he ever could, after all. Besides, he's not really in the mood to deal with the aristocracy. Especially when she's upset like this. Dist can only tolerate such nagging children for so long.

However...this is somewhat relevant to him, so he'll just keep an eye out on some of these unfiltered threads as best he can.Her response to seeing the replica, even, is interesting...hm.]

Somethin' tells me your complaints are fallin' on deaf ears, princess.

[Oh, Ion recognizes that voice the moment he hears it, but he does well not to say anything just yet. It's confusing enough to arrive in Luceti without people you believe to be dead suddenly popping up in front of you.]

[When he does speak, its under a filter. There are still others here who aren't aware of his fate, after all.]

Natalia?

[Oh hey this is reminiscent of her own first day in Luceti.]

Yelling won't get you anywhere with the Malnosso. They don't really care who you are.

[Whoa...This was completely unexpected. Theoretically, Anise knew that there was a possibility that Natalia or Guy or anyone else she knows would arrive during a New Feather cycle, but being faced with the reality was waaaaay different.]

[She isn't that sure what to feel. Sure, Luceti's not the best place ever, but it wasn't that bad either. And Natalia is a good friend. It isn't wrong to be happy that she's here too, right?

Natalia! It's me, Anise! You're in a place called Luceti right now! It's kinda hard to explain, but you can't get back at your kidnappers yet!

W.. wait..

[ Usagi looks pretty surprised, staring at the device for quite a few moments. ]

You mean you're a princess? A real princess?!

[Hey, that's a familiar face! Ven remembers talking to her a long time ago, so pardon him if he looks a little surprised.]

Natalia?

[...she probably doesn't remember. Definitely not if she's acting this upset. Oh boy.]

Hey, has anyone helped you out yet? If not, I can explain...

[Once the dust has settled, so to speak, Gelda will make herself known. She has spoken to Natalia before, but that was a long time ago and it seems clear that she will not remember. That's why Gelda felt it was best to wait until Luceti's principles had been explained before speaking up.

When one's from Auldrant, it doesn't seem right not to (re)introduce yourself to the Princess of Kimlasca. Gelda may be from Malkuth, but she has no problems with Kimlascans whatsoever.]

Your Highness, I'd like to welcome you to Luceti. My name is Gelda Nebilim. Will you require any more assistance getting settled?

Fear not! Pascal to the rescue! Ta-dah-dahhhhhh!

Yeah, yeah...

_{[totally not caring about that all "I'm the princess" stuff.]}

Welcome to Luceti. You were kidnapped just like all of us here.

Forgive me if this seems presumptuous Princess, however, in the event that you should one day be held captive by unknown parties again, you may find it wise to keep your title to yourself.
