[ there is a sudden sparking that emits from your magical watches and a hologram appears, showing a petit woman with dark hair. her eyes seem to hold a certain amount of mischief and light, and when she speaks, you listen. it's something about her; you are captivated by her presence, and you can't help but give her your attention. ]
Hello, hello, hello~! ♥
[ it's a trill of a voice, light and airy. ]
I know you've all just arrived~♥ but I wanted to introduce myself! To those who haven't met me, my name is Astoria! I know many of you are likely unhappy with being found here, and I understand. But the need is urgent, and dire, and I am in desperate need of your help, as is the universe in which we reside. There is much darkness, in this universe . . . plenty of worlds on the brink of collapse, or at the precipice of something great. It is my job -- our job -- to help where needed. Like superheroes, but a little less flashy!
[ she pauses. ]
No offense to the superheroes. -- but anyway! I want to let you know were we're going to go first.
[ she takes in a D E E P breath!! ]
There is a city, by the name of El Minha. It's beautiful, an oasis in the desert. There are many shops and stalls and the entire city is bustling, but El Minha is facing a difficult path. Transitions of power are hard, you know? And they have a new King, who is . . . probably nice, but the people there are suffering. Crime is at an all-time high, and King Kathashun can only do so much . . . if he's doing anything at all.
[ she brushes a loose piece of hair behind her ear, and astoria smiles a little. it is obvious, by now, that she's definitely bubbly and full of spirit, but she is deadly serious about her mission. ]
I truly believe that we have the ability to help those who need it most, and those people are in desperate need. So we're going to go there, explore, and talk to them! And maybe, just maybe, we can affect some good in this world, and change the tide for the better for these poor people.
[ she pauses. ]
So that's where we're going first! But before that, I'm here to greet you, to support you, and welcome you to my beautiful Temple. Please, please, please make yourselves at home! I'll be here if you have any questions. ♥
[ astoria pauses before lifting up a single finger, as if she's forgotten something important. ]
Oh, and please let me know if you find anything interesting or important or otherwise peculiar in the Temple! The Forest of the Fey is a magical place, and I'm keeping a careful eye on all of you explorers to make sure you don't get too lost, but my dear friends within the forest may like playing with you all, so be respectful of the wildlife! It may fight back. ♥
[ is she serious? the world may never know. ]

[He actually has to pause for a second to organize his thoughts, because for once, he has too many for even HIM to be able to just blurt out without actually thinking through them first.]
Um, first off! When we got brought here and you said we were going to help people, I thought it would be like, you know! Stopping a volcano or a rampaging monster or finding an ancient magical amulet to seal up evil or helping out after a disaster or something! Superhero stuff! And disaster relief! You know?
[He gets super enthusiastic while going through all that, gesturing widely, but then gets a little more sheepish as he continues.]
But this seems a little-- well, not just out of our league, but also none of our business, sort of, haha...? We're not diplomats or anything, and even if we were, interfering with a country that we don't belong to and aren't impacted by or anything is sort of...!!
[He trails off, because Keiichi vs using negative words, but "bad guy-ish" is sort of the idea, there.]
video
[ brightly, in greeting, with a raised hand. ]
And I know! Consider this a sort of investigation. If you think something really bad is happening, then it's up to you to decide if you can fix it. If you think everything is fine, then you don't have to do anything at all. I just sense . . . chaos, from this world. Finding out what's going on, and figuring out how to help, is the goal here.
[ she pauses ]
Would you rather be sent to a giant volcano world?
[ she's serious. ]
no subject
[He seems relieved by the first explanation, and then laughs at the question, raising his non-watch hand to rub the back of his head sheepishly.]
Well, I wouldn't know what to do with that either, haha! But you know what I mean! Stuff where people just need to be protected, or need some extra hands, instead of trying to change a culture or politics or something you have to be really smart for... But if we're just taking a look and seeing whether or not we think we can do something, I think that's fine! Maybe we can't do a lot, but if we can make things even a little easier for a few people, that's worth it, huh? I just didn't want to go in and maybe accidentally make things worse for people by meddling somewhere we don't know!
no subject
[ she pauses. ]
I wish it were so easy, as convincing the King, or the Syndicate, or whatever other group, to get along. But it often isn't. Sometimes the best we can do is help serve the people while the bigger players argue. Does that set your mind at ease, any?
no subject
[After a beat, some of the other questions he'd had come back to him, and while still smiling and perky, he seems a little nervous again about this one...?]
--Oh! And! I heard you say that things are paused back on our worlds, so-- I had another question about home! Um-- will we be able to keep our powers when we go home...? Do you know?
no subject
[ there's some hesitance to her tone, because she's not entirely sure. ]
This is the first time I've done this, so there's a lot of figuring out I have to do! I guess we'll find out?
no subject
[This is absolutely untrue, but he has no idea.]
Anyway! I'll do my best! Thanks for answering our questions! It was kind of hard to know what was going on, last time, so this is a lot easier. I appreciate it!
no subject
[ warmly, and she presses her palms together. ]
And maybe we can figure out a way to keep your gifts when you can go home, but that might take . . . a little bit of time and practice on my part.
no subject
Okay! Thank you so much! I think, um, a lot of people here are more concerned with getting back powers they had before, and that makes sense! But I just wanted to ask, for those of us that never had anything like that at all. It's really kind of like a miracle, so-- thank you!
no subject
[ amused, at the thought. there are quite a few people here without any magic at all; astoria hadn't thought about how excited they would be to be granted power, but here they are. ]
I'm glad you're happy with what you have.
