[foxtouched]

[ When the video comes on, a young maiden clad in red elegant robes and looking a little disheveled and as though she attempted to groom herself with nothing to do a good job of it. She's hugging a little fox kit in her arms, and her device is filming this from somewhere outdoors. ( If folks were at the Valentine's Day Concert, they could have seen her performing!) Her outfit also seems to match what she wore then. ]

Pardon me— I am called Kitsuno, Princess and Oracle of Sawa. I beg forgiveness for this inconvenience, but has— anyone been having trouble entering their places of residence? I have not been able to cross the entrance at all. I've been out here for a whole passing of the sun.

[ She also looks tired, if one looks closer. Though she's attempted to keep herself groomed, it might have even looked like she was crying and did her best to hide her puffy eyes after cleaning up as much as possible. ]

And I- ah. Has... anyone else been seeing- faces from home, perhaps? I could swear I've seen both my fathers, but they disappear when ever I approach... But they wouldn't avoid me if they were here.. especially not when my star of birth was so near.

[ She murmurs that last bit, before quickly reaching out to the device to turn it off, and she hesitates. ]

Forgive me. It's been a bit cold out here, and... I've nowhere else to go. I would not wish to trouble anyone more than necessary, but...- ah. That will be all.

[ She's very hungry! Her fox is cuddling her and trying to keep her warm, and she smiles a bit before bowing to the device again with a murmured "thank you"! ]

Where are you staying? I haven't had any trouble, but maybe whatever's affecting people is also affecting buildings.

[Which would mean it's not some sort of magical disease, wouldn't it? Can buildings catch magical diseases? Why is magic?]

I think a lot of us are seeing people who aren't actually here...

[foxtouched]

The... hotel, I believe. No one was around to ask for aid, and there were few who were having the same trouble as I.

[ Though what she says next makes her look up in surprise. ]

You've been seeing people too? Have... have they responded to you at all?

[warfan]

No, they haven't. And no one else has seen them - I asked a couple of the shopkeepers early on, when I thought I'd just lost sight of someone.

[Instead of them vanishing like the mirage they apparently were. That had been more than a little embarrassing.]

How long have you been locked out?

[foxtouched]

Forgive me— that must have been painful to endure. Who did you see? If... you wish to answer that.

[ She sighs, but looks apologetic as though she's blaming herself for being in this situation at all. ]

It has been... a whole turn of the sun. A day. I've just been staying concealed outdoors. It wasn't too bad, but it's important that I do not stay out too long.

[ First the woman with the dogs and now this... what is even going on? ]

I haven't, but it seems lots of strange things have been going on as of late.
If you tell me where you are, I can bring you some extra blankets until we figure it out.

[foxtouched]

[ Texting takes longer for her, but she thinks... she can figure out a location. ]

Hello,
I hope you are well.
I'm in a garden near the hotel.
A "park"?
I thought to stay here in case anyone could assist-
But many people seem to be just as confused.
I would not wish to dirty your blankets, either.
I have not bathed in a day.

[omnistriker]

[ That's a little vague, but Tifa thinks she knows where it is. She continues on the device as she grabs a stack of fresh blankets and heads out the door. ]

A day isn't that bad.
I've smelled worse, and I have so many extra linens,
I wouldn't mind if you kept them.

Before you say you don't want to trouble me,
I insist.

[foxtouched]

You're very kind, but-
There must be others who would need your aid more, if this is happening to more than just myself.

Mortals are more prone to illness, are they not?

[wuf]

Kitsuno.

[ He tilts his head considering her. ]

My friends from home here.

[ Literally - hence the confusion. ]

Not here, then? Cold? Need fire? Can help.

[ Since he lives outside a lot of the time by choice... ]

oh no a baby

[foxtouched]

Hello there.

[ What the... she blinks at this message, smiling a bit. It's not often she hears her name like this! It's cute... ]

A fire would help many others, but we wouldn't wish to trouble anyone here in the town. I would not refuse the aid in making one, though.

What is your name?

[wuf]

Razor.

[ She's right though, it may help a lot of people. And he's always been pretty good at stuff like that. ]

Can make. Good at it. Happy to help.

[ Legitimately, too. He looks happy to help. ]

[colchismagecraft]

...So I am not the only one plagued by illusions from home. I keep seeing my former and current Spouse, and thought this place might finally be fraying my sanity.

[A sigh as the cloaked woman studied the person on the other end of the call.

A Princess, hm...? Tired, dishevelled and alone. That sight troubled her more than she wanted to admit.]

That seems to be the worst of it, for me.

My name is Caster. A pleasure, Kitsuno.

[foxtouched]

[ She's rather particular about manners even in her state— so when this person speaks, she bows her head in greeting, even if it is to a device. ]

A pleasure, Lady Caster. Forgive me— if my terms of address are off. I've been learning of many new ones here.

[ Her expression softens. ]

Your former and current spouse, is it... did anyone you know arrive on this world with you, then?

[colchismagecraft]

Please, do not trouble yourself- Caster is fine.

I knew a few of the people here when I arrived...unfortunately none I was on good terms with. What of you?

[callyourname]

[ Huh, so they're not the only ones with these problems... ]

My boyfriend had problems entering our apartment and I keep seeing faces from our home world. But as far as we know, no one else from there is actually here.

[Some of them would have their reasons to avoid both Mikasa and Jean, but she's still doubting about seeing any of them.]

[foxtouched]

Your... "boyfriend", my Lady? Is there a reason that sort of friendship is stated so particularly? Forgive me, I am still getting used to mortal terms...

[ Help. ]

Was your boyfriend able to enter in the end?

[secondedenic]

Madam, are you safe?

[But perhaps he should also answer her question and maybe it will take her mind off of things. But "Fathers?" Well it's a hard situation for all right now.]

But as to your question I have seen a familiar face here and there. It has been very disturbing.

[He's also been seeing his Father and the experience wasn't one he was prepared for. Even now his feelings towards the man were mixed to say the least.]

[foxtouched]

I seem to be. I apologize for causing worry...

[ She feels bad that she had to finally resort to asking for aid when she's managed fine so far. She looks apologetic before continuing. ]

Was... the presence you saw someone you did not wish to see?

[secondedenic]

There is no need to apologize. It is a trying situation for everyone. And as long as you are well that is all that matters.

[He can't even imagine being locked outside like. Especially in this weather.]

Yes and no. To be a little too frank, there are people you can love dearly and yet be better off without. A person's Father is a complicated subject though from the sounds of it, not so for you.

Oi, I recognize ya, ya healed me up that one time. Probably some magic shit if your seein' people who ain't here and can't get inside.

[He flashes a smirk.]

Look, I owe ya one anyway, come down to the tavern, I'll get ya inside and some food.

[foxtouched]

[ Oh. Oh dear. It's that handsome man she helped... she might not have her healing magic here anymore but— she did manage to do a decent job then. She can't help but smile a little when she sees him though. ]

It's you... it's been a while, hasn't it?

[ Though. ]

I don't know if I'd be able to enter the tavern. We could try... have you been doing better since we last met? No injuries?

[boutdatlife]

[She was definitely better than nothing and he's not all that sure on healing magic, good old fashion first aid works well for Samatoki after all.]

Yeah, I ain't seen ya around since then, ya alright?

[Though, probably not. Either way, he's here to help or as much as he can.]

Worth a shot, if not I'll see what I can do to help. [He barks out a short laugh.] I ain't gonna say no injuries but I'm alright, it ain't nothin' new.

[morns]

( faces from home? )

sure you're not homesick?

( though, after her journey to that cave where her deepest fears were shown, maybe it's just this place pulling some more bullshit on people. )

[foxtouched]

It would be impossible to not be homesick in a world not one's own.
Do you have people from your own world here with you?

[morns]

( fair point.

and she's just going to skip over that question because it's too much like personal information. )

guessing you don't?
