[ladyinred]

[as the recording begins, a shaky shot of Angelina is seen. it takes a few moments for Angelina to realize that the little starfish she had just found was doing... something.]

What a... strange little thing.

[her tone is rather dull and sullen, which is a complete contrast to how she usually is. after a moment, she glances away from the recording device to look at her surroundings.]

Where... where exactly is this place? G-Grell? ... Grell, y-you idiot! Where are you?!

[she pauses]

Sebastian? ...Ciel? ...anyone?

[silence is the only answer she receives at the moment, and she heaves a sigh. after a few moments, she mumbles to herself, unaware that the SFC is recording still.]




Alone again. It seems that I truly am cursed...

You'll hardly be alone in this place.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

The people I love the most aren't here with me.

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

...

Same case with some of us.

You'll be okay... It's either you'll get sent back in time, or they'll find themselves here too. It's one way or the other.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

I doubt that's possible... since most of them are dead.

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

...

[hearing that, Red placed a hand of his down slowly]

... Sorry.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[she gives a small head shake before forcing a smile]

It's... alright. Really.

[TOPIC CHANGE]

I don't think I caught your name?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

... Okay. [Red feels bad for her, so he can't manage to reply a smile]

Ah - I'm Red.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[pffff Red ;___;]

Red? [blink blink... OHAITHAR] Oh...! How funny! Many people refer to me as Madam Red! What an amusing coincidence!

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[\;_;/

and Red blinked twice: ] ... Madam Red?

[... well, that is rather amusing!] ... [tiny smile now] Nice to meet you... Madam Red.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[she nods.]

Yes! It's wonderful to meet you as well, Red! [she's smiling at last! let's see how long it holds] I take it you've been here for some time?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[he keeps his tiny smile, rather glad to see her smile. that's much better!] Ah... yes, I have...

Two months.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

Two months, I see. And you're away from your family too. Your mother must be worried sick about you.

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[... you hit the spot. at the mention of his mother, he couldn't help but lower his head at that]

... In this place, time is different... [he can take comfort in that - still, he hasn't had a chance to come home yet, even back then... she definitely must be worried, regardless of that]

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[she frowns at that] Ah... Red. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up...

[she listens to him speak, and blinks a few times] Different? How so?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[a smile shortly, shaking his head once] ... It's okay. Sorry.

... It is different, from how we see it. Some people come here with different time periods... Some from the past, some from the future.

So... it may not match the time in our original worlds.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[she offers a smile as well]

Different time periods... [was that truly possible? she thinks a bit more on what Red had just told her; .... maybe that could explain Ciel's reaction to her arrival--]

I see... this place is certainly strange.

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

... That's right.

[thinks a little now: oh, that's right] Um... let's get you dry then find a place for you to stay.

Things are free here, for foreigners like us.

[ripperwantstea.livejournal.com]

[derp. she completely forgot about that!] ... oh! Ahaha, yes... that would be wonderful!

Free? My, how charitable~

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

Okay. [we shall start with clothes! so he begins leading~]

... Yes. It's kind of their way to make up at least... since we're stuck here and all.
