[ in the feed, river can be seen wearing a newly appropriated dress, a nice green and flowing thing that billows out around her legs in a passing breeze. she's standing up somewhere high, the surface rounded and colourful; her ( bare, as always ) toes curl around it to give her balance, and she's staring down at them with wide eyes. ]

Finally found her. She won't stop crying.

[ there's a creak of metal, and river goes to one knee, just in case, braced against a fall that doesn't come. her head tilts curiously and you know what, fuck it. she's just going to lay down completely, one ear pressed to the roof of the carousel in the dark carnival. there are a few natives telling her to come down, as well as a few ghosts hovering nearby; no signs of anyone crying, and river pets her hand across the space beside her head. ]

Shh. Don't be sad. It'll all be over soon.

[ ooc; just a little bit of newbie metaplot for y'all! this is sort of forward dated to later on day 450, so i guess i could've posted it tomorrow but i do what i want, thor. just in case, river's permissions post is here! ]

What about talking to her -- can you do that?

Been trying. She doesn't like Māmā's lullabies, just keeps on crying. Very rude.

It's not like a little girl, is it?

[ the thought of which makes her feel anxious for some unknown reason ]

[ she has to think about it for a second. ]

Don't think so. Hard to be sure, voice analysis isn't an exact science. The register is a little lower than the average human child.

[ that's, uh, little more precise than she expected, but strangely good to hear. ]

Uh, alright then. So, not a child, but someone who still keeps crying. [ a beat ] Someone in pain?
