Character(s): Fang & OPEN.
Content: Arrival~
Setting: Vanaheim gate.
Time: Let's go for mid-morning on this one.
Warnings: Probably none.

"Right, well that's not much help," she shook her head, taking the object that was handed to her. How exactly she'd wound up in these new surroundings was beyond her as well. Last thing she knew they were traveling across Gran Pulse and then -- she woke up here, outside the large gate leading to the dome encasement.

Fang walked away from the 'welcoming booth' with s sigh, hands going to her hips as she took a look around. First waking up in enemy territory... now this place? She wasn't even sure if this was part of Cocoon, but it certainly wasn't Gran Pulse. The blonde haired natives didn't offer much in the way of information, either. Paixao, they'd called it... Damned if she'd ever heard of a place like that.

She frowned, and looked down at the object again, turning it around in her hands. "Wonder how this works..."

"I could show you if you like." Jenny said to the newcomer from behind having heard the comment. In truth, Jenny had only been passing by when she had seen and heard the woman, and wouldn't have been surprised if the newcomer hadn't noticed her until now considering how well Jenny blended into the crowd with her blond hair and blue eyes. The only major thing that made her look different from the rest of the people here was her choice of clothing, and even with that, she still could be hard to spot. But now, there she stood, bright, perky smile on her face, looking like she had enough energy to go for days without sleep...which is exactly how much energy she had. Especially at this time in the morning.

The brunette turned her head -- first studying the girl, then turning towards her to face her fully. "Be my guest," she said, handing the gagdet over without and qualms. The blonde girl certainly seemed non-threatening, didn't she? With a smile like that... Truth be told, for now, Fang did assume she was a native to this place, but didn't draw any attention to the fact.

Hey, for all she knew -- maybe she could pass as someone who belonged here, too. No need to be labeled a threat -- again (of course, unbeknownst to her, randoms were not only common, but welcome).

Maybe it was Fate or maybe it was Destiny. Or maybe it was Chance. Whatever it was, Vanille wasn't far from the Vanaheim Gate when Fang arrived. Once Fang spoke, it wasn't hard for the redhead to find her.

"...Fang? Fang!" she called, ready to fling her arms around the other woman. Only...

There was someone else there. Someone blonde. Who was that?

"Erm..." Vanille tilted her head curiously, "Is everything alright?"

"Vanille!" Talk about being in Lady Luck's favour! Where the redhead hesitated with her embrace, Fang made no such indication, rushing over and pulling her into a hug. "Not sure how we got separated this time, but believe me... I won't let it happen again..." she tighened her grip slightly before finally letting go and taking a step back.

With a slight wave of her arm, she turned again to Jenny, "Just came outta that gate over there," the nodded in the direction of Vanaheim, "And this young lady here was just about to give me a crash course in that device that they handed over. Can't make much sense of it, myself..."

Jenny took the journal when it was handed to her, and was about to start explaining it when she heard the other girl call out, and couldn't help but look up at the two women and watch their exchange. So, the newcomer already had someone here that she knew. Well, that was always good, and helpful. It made showing up here easier, she was sure.

When Fang gestured to her, and called her 'young lady' it finally occurred to Jenny that she had yet to introduce herself. Though perhaps it wasn't so bad to have waited, now she could introduce herself to two people instead of just the one, and so, she just kept her smile and spoke up again.

"Oh, using the journal really isn't too complicated. Especially once you get the hang of it. Plus, it's great to have around so you can keep in contact with other residents around here." She paused before moving onto one of the more important topics. Or atleast, it was an important topic in her view. "Sorry, I don't think I ever got around to introducing myself, did I? Well, let's get introductions over with, shall we? I'm Jenny! Pleasure to meet you both."

Vanille squeaked and returned the embrace clumsily. She tipped her head back and frowned a little sadly. So Fang still didn't know. It wasn't fair that she was left in the dark, but maybe it was...better that way. Still, that didn't stop Vanille from feeling horribly guilty.

"I have somethin' to - " she glanced at Jenny, cutting herself off mid-sentence, "You'll get it." she smiled, choosing to encourage Fang instead, "Nice to meet you, Jenny."

Turning away from Fang, she clasped her hands behind her back.

"So! Where to first?" her bright smile was mostly feigned, but not many could see through it.

"Fang," she nodded. "And this is Vanille." She glanced down at the object again, thinking it was a toy more suited to someone like Raines than herself. But if it worked like a communication device then Jenny was right, it definitely had some good use.

Out from the corner of her eye she watched Vanille's moves closely. It was good to see her smiling, and in relatively good spirits, but... something about it seemed off. Almost like there was something missing, but...

"Well," she crossed her arms, "not to sound ungrateful with the welcoming party an' all, but the exit sounds good to me. Doesn't seem like they're too keen on letting us out through there, eh?" she nodded back towards the gate she'd come in from, frowning.
