action/video

[teacaying]

[ on everyone's video feeds they might see a very pretty, very pale girl sitting down in what appears to be a café in the town. she doesn't appear worried about her surroundings, and seems very calm about the whole situation they're been placed in. it also might give the feeling that she lived here...aside from the camera feed that's placed on her. she seems to be puttering about the kitchen, looking for tea pots and checking the water from the taps... ]

Hmm...

Oh.

It isn't working... how sad.

I wonder if I can get it working somehow...

[ she'll sit down with her empty tea pot, taking out a small pamphlet... ]

I would have liked to eat this with tea and cookies. Oh well...

Comments

[iamanarcissist]

You sound really... uncertain? About that? [His voice mimics hers quite well for a moment there, and then he drops it.]

Gabriel Malone.

[teacaying]

Oh. You sounded just like me. [ she giggles gently. ]

It's just hard to remember if that was my real name before... it sounds right, though, so I tell people it's my name.

It's nice to meet you, sir.

[iamanarcissist]

Nice to meet you, Blythe.

[GOD why isn't Gabe answering his phone? He shoots off another text to him, barely paying attention to Blythe at all.]

[teacaying]

You seem worried. Were you busy before you came here?

[iamanarcissist]

Hmm? [He looks up at her.]

Oh, yes. I was on my way to a concert. I can't contact the people I was meant to be helping out.

[I can't contact myself.]

[teacaying]

That's too bad... I'm sorry I can't offer you any tea to help calm you down, sir.

[iamanarcissist]

Oh, I'm perfectly calm.

[He sounds it, and he even looks it, to an extent. His smile is perfectly charming.]

We'd probably need to check that the Towers are on before we can make any life necessities like tea.

[teacaying]

Oh...you keep trying to talk to them though, don't you?

[ she at least noticed that much. ] You must miss them.

Towers...are those in this little book?

[iamanarcissist]

Mustn't lose hope. [He gives a wry, toothy smirk, and shoots off another text to Gabe's number. Still nothing.]

They're mentioned. Seem to power the place.

[teacaying]

So...I could get water, you said? For tea?

Do you like tea, sir?

[iamanarcissist]

Oh, dunk a bag of earl grey in some hot water for three minutes and I'm on cloud nine.

[teacaying]

I see. Then I will do my best to look for these Towers too.

[iamanarcissist]

If I'm any judge, they're the big things that loom up in each area.

[teacaying]

Big things... I don't think I'll be able to climb them without something falling off...

[iamanarcissist]

Is this your way of asking me to help? [He gives her a very charming smile.]

[teacaying]

Oh... that is nice of you, but if you lifted me up, a leg might fall off.

[iamanarcissist]

I'm good with my hands.

Don't worry, I'll be delicate.

[teacaying]

Well...alright, we can try.

[iamanarcissist]

Best get cracking them, mm?

[Aaaand clacking off another text to Gabe. Come on, man :(]

[teacaying]

Okay.

[ she spots that post by Pyrope though... ]

I think, perhaps, that we should meet this lady.

[iamanarcissist]

[He shrugs, tucks his iPhone away, and adjusts his gloves.]

Can you remember how you got back here?

[teacaying]

Hm... [ she thinks about it. ]

I think so.

[iamanarcissist]

Then I'll bid you adieu, and see you again later.

[He blows her a kiss.]

[teacaying]

[ oh. tee-hee. she waves. ]

[iamanarcissist]

[Aaaaand turning the feed off.]
