01 – Video (backdated a little, to the start of the month)

[unit31]

[ Labrys' first attempt at a video uhhhh doesn't go great. In fact, it's hard to tell it's even a video of Labrys at all, because all that's really visible of her is her eye and part of her hair falling into her face. In fact, she doesn't seem to realize that she's recording right away. Then it abruptly cuts off.

A few minutes later, a second video pops up with a fairly embarrassed looking Labrys on camera. Going by the angle and the slight jitter of the frame, it looks like she's holding the communicator up as she paces through Havenwell so she can double dip on exploring and putting a message out to anyone who might see it. It's also more obvious from this angle that while her face might look human enough, her body looks a little more like the native residents of this world. Hm! ]

Oh – hey, looks like this is workin' now. Second time's the charm, I guess...

[ She gives the camera a nervous grin. This is definitely pretty different from the last two times a lunatic thought kidnapping her was a good idea and while she's not loving it, at least no one seems to be in immediate danger. ]

Uh... man, I don't even know where to start, really. Guess I should just go with my name, huh. I'm Labrys... and I guess this is me just makin' sure I'm the only one wrapped up in this. If any of you guys – Yu-kun and your pals or Mitsuru-san and them... heck, I'd take Sho-kun at this point... if any of you guys are here, hurry and drop me a line, yeah? We've gotta stick together. And if you ain't here... I guess I'm just talkin' to myself!

[ She laughs, but there's no real mirth to it and she quickly lapses into an uncomfortable silence. ]

For everybody else... I've got a question, kinda. Are any of you folks not... used to all this huggin' and touchin' stuff? [ She goes a little red, even as she says it. ] It's kinda new to me. I ain't really sure how I'm s'pposed to get used to it.

[unit31]

Yeah, yeah, I getcha. I mean, I have a little sister, but uh...

[ They're Both Robots. ]

We still ain't really the touchy feely type, let's say.

[scentsitivity]

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

[ He really is, from one older sibling to another, he's nothing by sympathetic. Even though he has no idea why they can't be affectionate to each other. ]

The gods get their powers from it but they never really force people to it, but I think they really appreciate it when we do.

[unit31]

Huh.

[ She sounds more thoughtful, than anything. Kidnapping's one thing, that's old news. But this is interesting. ]

S'definitely the nicest thing I've ever heard of gods askin' folks to do. Usually ends up a whole lot uglier than this.

[scentsitivity]

Uglier? Wait this has happened to you before?

[unit31]

Yeah. Oh, just once, though!

[ AS IF THAT MAKES IT ANY BETTER ]

[scentsitivity]

A God spirited you away and now different kinds of Gods have taken you into their land?

[ This has to have some kind of repercussion or something. ]

[unit31]

[ Casually as anything: ] Yeah.

I mean, gettin' dragged here by gods is what happened to everyone else, right?

[ THIS REALLY MIGHT JUST BE A DAY ENDING IN Y FOR HER ]

[scentsitivity]

Yeah but-- no one was taken by the Gods while they're taken by another god... I think.

[ HE'S PRETTY SURE THERE'S PROBABLY SOME KIND OF REPERCUSSIONS TO THIS. ]

Are you all right, though?
