[There a bunch of grumbling as a figure darts around, their figure hidden by a large cloak. The figure stops and looks at the screen, annoyed.]

Look, I don’t know who you are and how you can do... this. [The figure gestures with their arms, both voice and figure revealing them to be female] But, I’m in no mood to deal with this. Leave me alone right now, okay?

[No screens are shutting down.]

Did you hear me? Go away! Leave me alone!

Eorzea? Bentbranch Meadow?

Huh, I... guess we are.

[Others trapped in a different game?]

[moonoveralola]

Moon beams.

"Sure!"

With that cheerful declaration, she spreads her arms wide.

[speed_holic]

Ehh?! You don't?

Yeah, I think so. Let's see...

(Suguha turns on the map and has it pinpoint her location before sending it to Asuna.) Okay! There I am, so triangulate our positions together.

[Hardly and yet, he seemed too relaxed to be trapped in a game, the bustle of people going about their business in the background, the warking of chocobos and the hawking of wares from other people being heard through the screens.]

It is a country of people on the Western Shores of Aldenard, and the city-state of Gridania is a forested country run by the Seedsisters and the Elementals. I'm just taking a break from levequests at the moment.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is... [his name is suddenly drowned out by the cacophony of chocobos.]. Nice to meet you.

[stayed_solo]

And Asuna wraps her arms around her savior, pulling her close as she cries a bit in joy.

“You saved me. I just met you and...! M-my name’s Asuna. Please, I’ll do anything for you! Anything for what you did!”

She was so happy right now, she didn’t care!

[moonoveralola]

Wow, this is a little awkward. For now, though, Meowth will wriggle free and pad over to the door. Moon will just pat Asuna on the back and say soothing words.

"It's fine, it's fine..."

[stayed_solo]

Ah, let’s see...

[She does a bit of calculating before]

Outside, it looks like. Same floor.

[speed_holic]

Awesome! I'll see you in a few?

(If she needed to help Asuna, she would.)

[stayed_solo]

After a bit, Asuna releases Moon and lets out a soft sigh. She wiped away her tears and smiled sheepishly at her new friend.

“I’m sorry. I just... I didn’t think I’d be able to escape, especially so easily. I feel like I should tell others, but who would believe me?”

[stayed_solo]

Mmn! I’ll be there.

[It’ll take Asuna a bit, but she’ll finally make her way to where Suguha is.]

Leafa? You here?

Re: Video

[stayed_solo]

Ah...

[It’s somewhere else entirely. Oh, well. But, still!]

Um... Asuna. My name’s Asuna.

[speed_holic]

(Suguha soon appeared next to Asuna, waving and motioning behind her; if she recognized the creature that was now vanishing, it could be the one who had been targeting them both.)

Right here! And I said it was okay for you to call me Sugh.

[moonoveralola]

Hmm.

"Well, we've got a lot of people that are really good at being action heroes and stuff...maybe if we all work together we can save them? And you can bring people out too, since you have access and all..."

[stayed_solo]

Oh, sorry! I just...

[She laughs sheepishly at that]

[stayed_solo]

“Really? There are people like that?”

Asuna blinked in confusion and began to think. “I’m just worried how some people will think...”

[speed_holic]

Hehe, it's okay. I'm just glad you're safe...?

(Sugu cocked her head a bit, as Asuna hadn't yet introduced herself.)

[stayed_solo]

Asuna. Sorry, I didn’t tell you who I was, did I?

[speed_holic]

Nope. But that's a really pretty name, Asuna!

[stayed_solo]

I’m sorry about that, I—

[And the compliment causes her to blush]

R-really?

[moonoveralola]

"Yeah! We can go to all sorts of different worlds, so there's all sorts of different people! Professor Mako is a magical girl, Miss Kotoha fights demons, and Miss Amelie can kick right through brick walls if she wants to, and they all just live in this world!"

At the second sentence, Moon tilts her head to the side in thought.

"If they're safe, does it matter how they think?"

Re: Video

[derplander]

A pleasure to meet you Asuna. Apologies if I met you at a bad time, this strange thing does not want to go away, it confounds me.

[he taps the screen a couple of times, and notes her location before saying,] Are you in need of aid?

[speed_holic]

Mm! It is...really.

(Sugu smiles a bit wider at seeing Asuna's blush, leaning in close to look at her and admire her.)

You're really pretty, too.

[stayed_solo]

Ah, I’m... heh, thanks Sugu. You... are too.

[speed_holic]

...Thanks, Asuna.

(Sugu blushes herself, not quite pulling away from Asuna. Her smile is still evident.)

[stayed_solo]

“You’re right. Yeah, you’re right! It doesn’t matter how, just that they’re safe!”
