she's rockin' that valley down below [ ACTIVE ]

Character(s): Kakyuu, OPEN
Content: Another new arrival!
Setting: Niflheim Gate & Surrounding area
Time: Mid-morning?
Warnings: Pfft. Hah!

The last thing she remembered was the small girl finding her. It certainly was an odd sight to finally wake up, and be ushered through a gate after being offered a -- was it some sort of communication device? What strange cultures this world practiced...

The girl seemed a little dumbstruck, walking forward cautiously into this strange new world, drinking in the sights around her. Were those buildings up ahead? Perhaps they could direct her towards Sailormoon... how odd, that she couldn't feel the energy of the Silver Crystal.

Ah! There was someone. Perhaps she could ask this person...

"Excuse me -- "

A calloused but gentle hand was placed on Kakyuu's shoulder, while another grabbed the communication device for her and offered it to her personally.

"Many graces for your service," a deep voice said half-halfheartedly to the gate keeper. Once the hand on the shoulder began guiding Kakyuu to walk, the voice was lowered even more in a whisper that said, "They offer a scant of help to us, m'lady."

It seemed that there was a new welcome party in Paixao.

"H... Help?" Kakyuu echoed softly, taking the device in her hands for herself and studying it briefly. She certainly hadn't counted on being handed a tool immediately upon her arrival. Perhaps Earth was in worse shape than she had originally thought... After turning it over, she pulled her attention back up towards the gentleman.

To business.

"I apologize, it seems like I've just arrived. I don't mean to be a burden but... do you suppose you could tell me where I may find the Princess?

It was one thing to find new arrivals at the gates. It was normal, and expected, even. Although to find it coming with a more familiar voice was less so. It seemed that their judge turned sky-pirate was turning his attention to more mundane matters. To what end? That she could hardly say, but that would wait.

"Your princess may not be here."

It was the simple truth, although it might be harder to swallow coming for a six-foot-something bunny-woman.

"Though there's little doubt you might manage to pick one out of this crowd." Balthier added, gesturing behind him at the city and coming to a stop next to his partner. "With so many waltzing through these gates every day there's bound to be some speck of royalty."

He turned his attention to Reddas next, an eyebrow arching inquisitively. "I didn't picture you the sort to play the welcoming committee." No doubt this was all part of some greater plan of his. And before he had managed to get someone other than himself wrapped up in it, too. Fate was a fickle mistress.

Just as soon as Reddas was about to make the remark about how she would be able to find a princess, Fran had chimed in before he could offer a single note. "Lady Fran, it is good of you to come and help this young lady through the gates of Paixao."

Balthier came into the picture shortly after, as per Reddas' expectations. He never was too far behind the bunny-like Viera, leading him to piece together all sorts of misadventures between the both of him in his imagination. At the same time, he would never vocalize things like that. He was smarter than that.

"M'lady, you are in good company," Reddas offered to Kakyuu. Reddas approached Balthier and shrugged, "A mistaken man I must be. I had thought you wanted no part in gathering an insurgency?"

The girl was slightly startled, though the calmness in her features spoke nothing of it. It certainly wasn't every day that one came upon a humanoid rabbit... As the other man approached, Kakyuu blinked away any confusion she felt, and focused again on her purpose.

"No, she's not my princess, exactly..." she started to explain, nodding off into the distance, "but yours, perhaps. I'm looking for the future Queen, Serenity," she paused, a sudden eerie chill passing over her. "You... do know whom I'm referring to...?" the princess asked, her eyes bright -- hopeful.

Serenity? That name could hardly be attached to the only future queen that Fran was aware of. One could say many a thing about Ashe, but to call her serene would be stretching the word to its breaking point and beyond. Nor had she heard such a name bandied about the various places on might hear such things in the city.

"I do not," Fran answered, shaking her head.

True, she might have simply overlooked such a mention, but her answer was the same regardless.

"Oh you're far from mistaken. We just happened to be passing by," Balthier explained.

"My princess, you say. Afraid I only know of one princess, and she's already become a queen. I'm as much in the dark as my partner here," Balthier replied, unable to hide his amusement.

"A noble by the name of Serenity. I fear she has not been transported here, perhaps for the better," he explained to Kakyuu, "Nor do I recollect any by that name. I am truly sorry."

He looked to Balthier and Fran as though recognizing the danger of the place. It was only made for scattering lost souls from every corner of the universe and every other universe and sprinkling them on the beaches of this strange destination. "If you desire, may we court you and brief the details of Paixao to you from the accounts of visiting citizens?"

This was certainly a lot of information to take in at once. Finally, as she heard the word 'Paixao' her eyes widened suddenly with understanding. "You mean... this isn't Earth?!" her tone was swimming in panic. Had she miscalculated the ditance during the teleportation? Was it that, in her weakened state, she had been unable to reach Sailormoon's planet?

'Earth'? She knew little of any place called such. But it was easy enough to assume that it was the name of the place from she hailed. A singularly uninteresting name but that was none of her concern. A name was a simple thing, not worth worrying over.

"It is not the world you know," she answered with a nod. "It is a place beyond."
