[Action]

[Anita wakes up halfway and considers staying that way until she comes to the realizations that A) she seems to have fallen asleep sitting up, B) she managed to do so outside, and C) her back is killing her. At this point, she jerks to full consciousness and flinches when her back grinds into the surface behind her.

Oh. That...isn't right.

What follows is a panicked flailing at the vicinity of her back that probably looks hilarious to any observers and ends when she catches a handful of feathers and yelps in pain. She scrambles to her feet and looks around wildly, and...oh. Fountain. She was sitting next to a fountain. The sky is gray, but the water is still enough to see her reflection in, and...

Oh. Oh. That definitely isn't right.

Caught between a mild state of shock at her wings and a slightly more pronounced one at the fact that she's in public and someone took her clothes and replaced them with a dress she's never seen before, it takes Anita a moment to notice the book at her feet. It has her name on it, which is disturbing, but at least it's something to go on.

She picks it up, resumes her seat at the base of the fountain (taking care of her inexplicable new appendages), and cracks open the journal.]

[Voice]

Okay...I'd be lying if I said this was the first time I woke up on a strange world with my clothes missing - unfortunately - but this a little too much, mon. For one thing, there was usually someone around that I knew... I don't suppose there's anyone here who knows me?

My name's Anita Fite, but if you're from Earth, you might know me as Empress. [No harm in revealing her secret identity if she doesn't have family here to protect, although, shockingly, knowing that they're not here doesn't make her feel much better.] If you do know me and you want to find me, I'm in this place called Seventh Heaven, because it was a little chilly outside considering - well, I hate to sound like a broken record about the missing clothes.

I'll be the girl in the corner with the white dress. I would have worn a corsage, but I thought it was a little much for a first date.

[She closes the journal halfway before a tiny flutter of hope compels her to say one last thing:]

And, by the way...does anyone know of absolutely any way at all I could get some kind of message back home? I just...want my parents to know I'm okay.

No, no. I believe you. Back home, there's a way to revive the dead too. In fact, it's a big problem since everyone back home is fighting an army made up of former loved ones and acquaintances. A person here can also transfer her soul into others and overtake them. So, while I haven't seen the two connected or combined together, I have seen the individually.

[ Now. There's a brief pause. ] It always seems like its the psychos that get the ability to revive the dead. [ Y E P. ] Still, that is some pretty messed up shit going in your world. Hope it gets sorted soon. [ She can't help but to pity the parents in this case. Two days is a really long time for a three year old! ]

[Hoooly crap.]

...Yeah, it is pretty messed up.

[You know, not compared to that...]

I've learned that reviving the dead, or even doing anything with a soul is trouble. So far, Luceti hasn't really changed my outlook on it. They've only reinforced it.

I agree. And the man who did this to my parents...his motivations definitely weren't pure. But despite all that, I'm glad I have them with me. Which is not to say it didn't take some getting used to.

Well, having your family around is always a blessing. [ oh boy oh boy talking about family to a person whose origins and family are completely unknown. fanon time! (yea) ]

I'd be glad to have them with me too. Even if it'd take a huge adjustment, it's always worth it for family. Or, family that isn't completely deranged. [ Sorry, Anita, your cray cray granddaddy is excluded from this. ]

If I learned anything from meeting Agua Sin Gaaz - my grandfather - it's that blood isn't necessarily thicker than water.

[Yeah, it's a bad pun name. All the names are bad puns. :|]

Yeah. I guess there are several familial bonds that aren't really closer than the bonds made through friendship. [ Tenten immediately thinks about the Hyuugas and the Uchihas. One of them had fucked up angry hatred between the branch and main family. The other had... uh, a familial massacre done by their own blood! Fun fun fun fun....

also that name sounds like a punny name but idk what it is. ]

Yeah, mon - but I'm lucky. I have some pretty great friends.

[Agua sin gas means "uncarbonated water" in Spanish. Your guess is as good as mine.]

I have great friends to. To my sympathy, and interest, most of them are here in Luceti. [ (un)funny on how that all works out!

Huh. I failed remedial 8th grade spanish, so I wouldn't have ever gotten though. I wonder what that has to do with him at all. ]

I don't have any friends from home here. Well, there's one guy I sort of know, but he's from before he knew me, so it doesn't really count.

...Not that I'd wish this place on any of my friends, but it would be nice to have someone familiar around. Just for awhile.

[As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing. But it sounds slightly menacing and means something goofy, in tried and true Peter David tradition.]

I'm sorry to hear that. Here, I have about a dozen comrades or so from home, so, I can probably introduce you around if you want some friends here. [ ...She thinks she'd fit in with the ninja. I mean, she is sort of similar in terms of dead coming back to life by cray cray doctors. ]

I get what you're saying. It's a dilemma. You don't want them here, but, at the same time, if they were here, you'd only be upset that they were here not that they were here with you.

[ Haha! It sounded silly alone in spanish, now that I know it's carbonated water, it's hard to take him seriously. ]

You'd do that? That's...really nice. I didn't expect everyone to be so - oh! Oh, mon, I just realized I haven't even asked your name yet! Well, I feel stupid.

Don't be. My name is Tenten. I forgot to introduce myself. My mistake! But, yeah, I'd do that. You seem like a nice girl to hang with.

Thanks, mon. That makes me feel better. And it's nice to meet you, Tenten.

No problem! You're free to visit us. Just mention that I told you you were welcomed and that I decided you needed more cool people to interact with. We all live in the first communal housing building. We're scattered about floors, but, we're usually on the fourth to the sixth floor, from my last recollection anyways.

Thanks. I'll do that.

No problem. Have a nice day!
