one ♥ video ; action for freya or the great library later on

[mendings]

 [As soon as the video turns on, a girl around the age of fifteen is glaring into the hologram. Effy isn't panicking, but she refuses to be upset at the moment. ]

I get that I'm here and can't leave. I have the basics, but I'd like to know everything. 

[A slight pause, she looks exasperated.] 

I'll be at the Great Library later, if anyone'd like to meet me there instead. 

[The video ends with that.]

How does it work?

[deputychief]

So far, not particularly well, it seems.

[He lights a small flame from his finger, then puts it out.]

[She arches an eyebrow, a bit surprised.]

I can't believe that's possible.

[deputychief]

What I just did? Why not?

[mendings]

Magic doesn't exist at home.

[deputychief]

Nor does it in mine, and yet here it does.

[mendings]

And that's it? We just accept everything that's happened here and move on?

video;

[deputychief]

One cannot get very far by refusing to accept facts. Moving on is not, however, necessarily the next step.

video;

[mendings]

No, it's not.

[deputychief]

So, what would you say is the proper next step in this situation?

[mendings]

Are you asking me because you already know and you want to test me?

video;

[deputychief]

I don't think there is a necessarily correct answer. It's true I have my own, but yours may be different without being wrong.

video;

[mendings]

Donno, honestly. Just got here and I feel like a bite to eat.

video;

[deputychief]

Ah, the practical route. That's a good one.

video;

[mendings]

It is. Depends on the person, though.

[deputychief]

Certainly some people are better off descending only slowly into the minutiae of daily life. But those who can do so immediately are always useful.

I'm Itsuki Koizumi, by the way. Fellow prisoner here.

Effy.

[She's ... not that much of a talker, but at least she told him her name.]

[deputychief]

A pleasure to meet a kindred spirit, Effy.

[How would he know, though? He's a little full of it, that's for sure.]
