Storybook One; [voice/action for castle]

[redroseprince]

[When you open up this particular video feed, for a minute there's nothing but the sound of shallow, panicked breathing. Though her situation was explained to her and this is by far a better outcome than what she was certain awaited her in the orphanage, this was still a deeply troubling experience for her. She's spent too long waking up in unfamiliar places to feel completely at ease with this sudden change in events. Spending the past few minutes fumbling with her bracelet didn't appear to calm her down from her near-hysterical state.

There's several more deep, steadying breaths, as if gearing herself up to talk. After a moment, the soft voice of a young British woman comes out in a trembling, feminine pitch.]

H-hello? Can...can anyone hear me? [The maid said this was how it worked, but...she's been purposely given faulty directions before. It takes a toll on you after a while.

But never mind that, there are more important matters at hand. Such as-]

I...I'm not certain who can hear this, but...has anyone seen my dog? He answers to Brown and he's really quite friendly, so...I'm sorry if he troubles anyone, but...please, don't hurt him.

I beg of you.

[Waking up in an unfamiliar place? No problem. That's what she's been doing in more hostile environments for....god, it feels like months.

Waking up without her dog anywhere in sight? That's a cause for panic.]

Um...I'm Jennifer, so...if you see him, just...tell me, please. [The poor girl sounds like she's setting herself up for an execution by giving out her name]

I'm sorry for the trouble. And, um...

...Thank you.

I don't think I've seen a dog around here at all. Why don't you ask the maids? I know they're really creepy but they work for the idiot gods that brought you here.

[redroseprince]

[Oh my, you are very forceful. It's quite scary.]

Um...they said he would have come here with me, but I...I don't see him anywhere...

[meatshields]

[ too true too true sob ]

Tch, that totally sounds like the kind of vague and unhelpful thing that they'd say. Well are you going to go look for him? This place is kind of big so I think you should have a plan first! I can't remember if there's an animal shelter here or... a lost and found box [ why would anyone put a dog there, sena?! ] but I know there's a pet store around here! They might know something!

[redroseprince]

I...yes, I need to find him.

[Take note, this is probably the most certain she will ever sound about anything.]

Um...do you really think they would place him in a pet store?

[meatshields]

I doubt it but if anyone does manage to find him and they didn't know what to do with it, I think that might be the place they might ask!

[redroseprince]

I...I suppose, but...do you think they would take him?
