[That there quiet boom? That sound followed up with an accidental video as the phone hit the ground, an ugly stringy clatter as a guitar followed down. A girl's voice grunted a little in pain, then a scrambling as she sat back up]

Zulf, why- ah! [A little hand came into view as the guitar was scooped up, then a small questioning noise as the phone was picked up too. Two dark curious eyes inside a pale face looked at the screen.] When did I get this...?

A guitar? ♥ One of the other girls where I work has a guitar!

[buildthatwall]

Oh! [A hand came to her mouth] Hello? Are you- another survivor?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Eh? *blink* We... call ourselves "captives". Wait, is this something from where you're from?

[buildthatwall]

What do you- where I'm from?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

This place isn't home for any of us.

[buildthatwall]

[A small look of guilt crossed her face] Was your home... destroyed too?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I hope not! I worry, though...

[buildthatwall]

Worry? Why is that?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Because I'm gone.

We're all trapped here from different places.

[buildthatwall]

It should be okay. Even if we're here, it'll be okay.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Do you think so?

[buildthatwall]

Of course, miss...?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Lucia! ...or Aqua Regina, but most people here call me Nanami Lucia.

[buildthatwall]

Why two names?

[Voice] ehsahOH SNAP

[thanklesswork]

[Near-instantly, audio feed of someone scrambling to pick up a phone can be heard.]

Zia? Zia, that you?

[video] Told you that you gave me a Zia muse

[buildthatwall]

[Her entire face lit at that sound]

Are you okay?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Aqua Regina is a title. It means "water queen".

[Video] UNEXPECTED PLOT TWIST

[Kid switches the feed, and now she can see him in his hotel room...which is incredibly messy and filled with empty booze bottles. She can see a Kid all banged up and bandaged for his trouble.

So par for the course, really. Nothing unusual just yet.]

Should be askin' you that.

[buildthatwall]

That's a gorgeous title.

[Video]

[buildthatwall]

I'll be fine. Where... Did you find another place?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I guess. It's a little strange to get used to.

What's your name?

[Video]

[thanklesswork]

It's a long story. But this ain't the Motherland and it sure isn't Caelondia. The Bastion's nowhere near here.

Where are ya right now? I can come get ya.

[buildthatwall]

[She blinked a few times, surprised] Oh. Zia. I'm Zia.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Nice to meet you, Zia-chan! This is a nice place, although we all miss home.

[Video]

[buildthatwall]

The Bastion's not- what happened? [Her hand touched the screen, then pulled back]

I don't know. Does anything look familiar? [She held up the phone, turning slowly]
