[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.

If it was not folded next to you upon your waking, your clothing and personal effects should have appeared in the clothing store and item store.

As for a message...I am afraid no one has managed to send anything beyond the network in the village. Outside of the odd contact from our minders, we are cut off from the rest of this world; doubly so from or own.

[OH GREAT. ROYALTY. How pleasant.]

Well that's why you should be careful with first dates. You never know what kind of crazy other world you'll get pulled into.

[Rin (he's that guy with the tail) is coming in for his shift about when she's making that voice entry in Seventh Heaven. ...Shift to cook that is, and he catches the beginning part as he shuffles in, and the tail end by the time he's behind the counter. Once there though, he sets down his bag and his sword bundle, sighs, fills up a glass of water, and is just going to bring it over to said girl at said table]

Oi, you hungry? I could make you something while everyone's getting you clothes. [Or... he could get the clothes. Both work]

[Every now and then Hulk enjoyed a trip to the fountain. The water made a sort of nice and calming sound sometimes. So he would sometimes just sort of stand by it on days when he was REALLY bored. And today is one of those days.

Anita, are you ready for a giant green man to come crashing down from the sky near the fountain after doing a loooong freaking jump?]

There's really no way to send a message like that. But, time seems to freeze while you're here. People have reported returning to the exact moment that they were taken from, people are pulled from the same exact moment from there worlds into this world months apart, and people from the future show up too. So the likely theory is that time freezes until we get back home or that multiple timelines of every world exist. I lean towards the former.

Regardless, your parents won't notice you're gone, so, that's one less thing to worry about.
