( hope you enjoy the view of.. absolutely nothing.

the video feed is dark with the occasional flash of light. sometimes, there's a peek of green and pink fabrics. other times, it's oleander and foxgloves or larkspur - a veritable garden buried in seafoam green hair. just peeks, nothing more. this continues for quite some time!

if there's sound, it's mostly the rustling of fabric and miscellany of bits and bobs. someone is getting into things again like a nosy little rodent. for anyone who might know her, she's oddly quiet. probably sneaking.

and for those guessing: yes she absolutely started the feed by accident when she tucked her phone... wherever it is on her person currently. you wouldn't scare a poor girl witless by making it sound like you're trapped in her pocket, would you? )

( the silence speaks volumes, and oddly enough, the druid is content to let it sit for as long as she needed.

she expected the anger and bitterness, of course. she's met enough people to know how others wear it, even on someone as well put together as angela. but there's no sense in lying about herself to make it seem as though she's suffered more than she has. there may be comfort to be had in commiseration, but hers was a cage fearne is unfamiliar with. it would do neither of them any good, in the end.

so instead, she tips her head to listen. )

And there were no others who could've done it instead?

( she has an idea by the way she says it, but. )

[worldexecute]

( you’re the machine that must lead us out of the pits of hell.

yeah, right. )

No. It was my purpose. The only reason I existed... ( ... ) But I decided I wanted to live, and here I am. Free. Alive.

( guilt-ridden. )

The agonies I've endured were worth the freedom I achieved. ( they weren't. ) But that's a little heavy. My apologies.

[fauned]

( if only she were aware how literally her new friend means it. )

Why are you apologizing?

( a small hop, and the chipper faun is well within the waters of the pool. shallow as it may be, it's still nice enough to play around in - especially when one of them does not know how to swim. )

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're here.

( alive, but also at the pool with her, indulging in silly little whims. )

Now that you don't have to work anymore, what other things did you want to try?

[worldexecute]

( she is? she is— angela looks away briefly, wondering if she should thank her for being glad, then carefully slips into the water instead. she gasps at the chill, goosebumps rising... ah... she runs her fingers over her arms idly. interesting.

after a brief moment: )

New foods... HamHamPangPang's special sandwiches, pajeon, that meat stew Roland told me about. Games with friends. Trying on clothes at a shop, and letting someone else pick my outfit for me... Something they'd like to see me in. ( that sounds nice. wanting. ) Go to a spa, visit a workshop, check out the hotspots in other Districts of The City.

( that's a lot. there's a lot more, but... )

In summary, an endless amount. I was writing them down as I thought of them in a list back in the Library, and... recently, that list has come into my possession ( thanks, bank? ) so I suppose if there's any I can accomplish here, I'll try to do so.

( ...she crouches to sink further in. this feels nice, actually. )

I'm discovering plenty of new things while I'm here, too, that I'd like to do. ( so she... for that, and other reasons, she's not so pressed about getting back. on the other hand, her library. but also, they know what happens to her library, sort of—? ah, she doesn't want to leave this city, actually. she can have friends here. ) You could say my curiosity's quite voracious.

[fauned]

( goodness, she really listed a lot, didn't she? all of them terribly specific rather than broad strokes, almost as though she's thought about this a whole lot for a very long time. which has its implications, of course. not terribly happy ones. )

You found your list? ( huh! ) Well, that's pretty nice of whoever it was that gave it back to you.

( if only she knew. )

It's too bad that this city isn't like any I've ever been in, or I'd probably have a better idea on what sort of things to show you. I felt about the same when I first came to this Plane - so many things are different than what I knew growing up.

[worldexecute]

It's alright. That just means we can discover them together, doesn't it?

( she doesn't really mean anything by that, but it's just simple fact. they will both be discovering new things about the city at the same time.

plane, though... whats a pl sorry that's a joke there are no airplanes in the city so. )

Where did you grow up?

[fauned]

( thanks angela she's going to take that as a promise and hound her for the rest of her days )

The Feywilds! Which I guess is a different.. place than this one? Not quite. I don't really know how it works but it's both a place you can accidentally walk into and somewhere that's very hard to get to. Does that make sense?

[worldexecute]

( "does that make sense" actually— )

It does, in a way. The Library was... similar enough. ( wellllllllllll once it was closer to the physical plane or whatever, yeah. ) Ordinarily, it's a place you could only get to by invitation, but we've had a few uninvited guests come through our doors since its inception.

( unfortunately. )

Did you leave of your own accord, or did you wander out?

[fauned]

That kind of control seems crazy. I don't think I've heard anyone besides my Nana who could do something like that.

( maybe a few others. but they're mostly irrelevant to her, )

Um.. A little of both, and a secret third. Directions in there are fairly strange, and I walked a very, very long time before I finally found the gate I needed. I was told to, but I also wanted to. It just worked out that way.
