A-ahhh.... Hello? Good day, this is Tohru Honda. [She sounds highly nervous and uncertain of what she's doing, talking to this machine like it's a phone. It's just a screen. So advanced! And DVDs had surprised her; this was even beyond that! All the same, she smiles brightly.] This is almost like being a secret agent with a secret device I'm speaking into. Like contacting headquarters!

[But, sadly, the reality isn't as glamorous, and she gets right back to the matter at hand.]

I was told by the kind woman that I could get more information this way. It would be very appreciated if someone has the time.... If not, that's alright! I can probably read around and listen for what others say.

The letter she gave me said I was - [she's still stunned by this!] brought here to restore color. To help. To flourish.

I'm uncertain how much help I can be with that, but I will try my best, if you will have me. And if you will, I am more than happy to give my all here. I am very honored.

[She tries to, and thinks that she did, shut the feed off. The screen is still there, no longer floating but fixed in place, however - she's looking through the names listed - it's just switched to voice as Tohru didn't quite push the right button in her nervousness. This sort of technology is very new to her.]

I left without being able to tell anyone. And Uo-chan and Hana-chan. What will they think when I turn up missing? I can't turn away if this place needs help. I wish I had been able to tell them....

And Kyo-kun. [She trails off there, any further thoughts being so personal she won't even mutter them out loud.]

I should go look for where I need to stay.
[Feed shuts off.]

[Just to turn on again five minutes later. Tohru is looking up at the sky - with owls everywhere - in awe.] Look at all the birds! [No, it doesn't occur to her they shouldn't be out during the day.] So pretty.... I'm not used to seeing so many at once!

[Yes, she just had to tell you that. Now it's off. For good this time, really.]

Yes, I know I'm strange. I'm sorry.

Oh! No, that's not what I meant! I was talking about the owls. They're nocturnal, so it's unusual that they're out.

[ To himself: ] Then again, I guess things are different around here.

[She looks up at that to gape at them.] They are owls.... Why would they be out? Maybe here they're not nocturnal?

Yeah, maybe! [ It's still eerie, though. ] Sorry, I don't think I caught your name?

[Had she forgotten to say it after? She couldn't remember with how nervous she had been. That was a bit rude, wasn't it?!]

I'm sorry! It's Tohru Honda, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Might I ask what your name is?

Er, there's no need to apologize! My name is Rei, nice to meet you.

So you're okay with being here?

It's nice to meet you as well, [she doesn't know hos age, so she plays it safe] Rei-san.

....

[The truth is...she hasn't really thought about it. She's caught up in all of her worries too much to really focus on that aspect of it. So, a some seconds of silence here.]

If there's anything I'm needed for, and anything I can actually do to help, then I will do my best!

[It doesn't quite flow from the question, but that's her response.]

Oh... that's pretty noble of you! Most people are automatically offended that they've been kidnapped. [ He shrugs. Rei's no exception. ]

[Noble? She hadn't really thought....]

I'm not really -

[Wait a minute. What?]

We've been kidnapped? When? How? I don't remember anything like that!

But...if they need people here so badly they resort to kidnapping, it's a little hard to be offended. They must really need help.

Maybe. They probably should have asked first, though.

It would have been nice to have a warning, but it's alright. Maybe they didn't have time for it.

What house are you in? [She thinks to ask it now because a few other people are asking about houses.]

Me? [ who else Rei ] I'm in Odin, near the library. It's actually pretty nice! What about you?

Ah, yes. [Even though he obviously figured that out, she still answers.]

I'm in Sigyn. I'm not sure what it's by yet, though.

Well, the hospital is in the Sigyn... That's pretty useful!

You're right! If anything bad happens I'll know where the hospital is, at least.
