First Wind

[bantorain]

-Virginia was not a stranger to waking up in strange places. In her adventure, it happened fairly often. In fact, it had happened most recently on a fairly grand scale. But one of the things she could usually count on was Jet, Gallows, and Clive being nearby. Or that she would have her ARMs. However...

That wasn't happening. And Virginia was more than a little on edge. Especially after investigating the house. She'd managed to avoid the other occupants so far, at least. Now succefully in the streets... Virginia could not believe her eyes. Was this... was this Filgaia at all?

If you're near Goldberg street, feel free to notice Virginia just looking... agape at the world around her. She is in total disbelief.-

Are you alright?

-A stranger. Virginia finds herself startled, and stumbles back a few paces.-

W-where am I?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Good morning. Are you . . . alright?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-All she could seem to manage was a shake of the head. It hadn't even quite registered to her that there was a child speaking to her...-

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Even though most newcomers somehow intuitively knew to speak into the phone, it wasn't too hard to guess from her facial expression that she was completely bewildered.]

You're new, aren't you? Um. Welcome to Mayfield . . . Although you'd probably rather not be here.

[hateslonglines.livejournal.com]

You're in Mayfield. It's someplace in America.

[His previous wife had disappeared. Which meant if this new wife went outside, she wasn't a drone. Not that he'd know left from right in this place. Either way, he approached her.]

New to the city?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

What...? -The look she gave clearly indicated that she had no clue what he was on about.-

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

What... is going on here?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-Virginia only caught a glimpse of the man before she immediately recognized him. The pictures... that man who seemed so close to her. His hands on her... their smiles... She immediately leaped back a small distance, hands moving to her hips instinctively. No guns though... but that wasn't a habit she wanted to forget.-

You could say that. Are you with the Ark?

[eightfuryflames.livejournal.com]

No need to be startled.

I dunno who the Ark is, but my name's Axel. Got it memorized?

You're the one that got assigned to our house, right? Well, I guess I should welcome you to Mayfield. Don't freak out, the pictures are... fake, in a way. All the houses have pictures like them, and they're pretty much fake as well.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

... You hesitated.

[eightfuryflames.livejournal.com]

...Hm?

<sub>[Maya had been out walking, getting an idea as to what the place was like, and possibly yelling at correcting a drone as to what her name was, when she saw Virginia.

Naturally, she had to do a double take, as, wasn't Virginia and her little team on the run?

It was interesting that someone else from Filgaia had shown up, though. Who next?]</sub>

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

[hateslonglines.livejournal.com]

You were somehow transported here against your will. You will now be forced to live in a family setting.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Is this some kind of joke?!

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

When you said "fake". You hesitated.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

M-Maya?! Is that you?! -OH GOD A FAMILIAR FACE, THANK EVERYTHING!-

[eightfuryflames.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how to explain it, really. How do you make false pictures? This town seems to have a mind of its own. That's really the only explanation I can think of.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

S-sorry... I don't mean to be hostile... if what you say is true, then you're in the same situation I am.

My name's Virginia. Virginia Maxwell.

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. Who else would it be?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-Virginia's internal keysmashing ceases for a moment as she FEELS THE NEED TO HUG Maya. Tightly. Seriously, this is the best news she's gotten all day.-

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

_{[p-pat. so awkward]}

Y-yes, well, it seems we meet again

_{[sob what is personal space]}

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Ah... eh heh, sorry. I got a little carried away there.

... So you're stuck here too, huh? I guess that's not so bad.

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Yes, I arrived just the other day. Funny, really, how you seem to arrive not long afterwards.

_[pause]

So what do you know already?
