First Blossom

[As the feed clicks on, it reveals a very confused pink haired young lady. At first, she seems to be talking to herself.]

I don't understand. I thought the UMN networks were gone now... but this seems to be connected to something. And I don't recognize this planet at all. What's going on...?

[She pauses for a few moments as she looks around and tries to get her bearings. Then, figuring she has nothing to lose, she tries sending out a message.]

Umm, can anyone hear me? Mommy? Ziggy? Is anyone out there?

That's the question of the day, isn't it? Something in this world is capable of breaking down the barriers of time and space, even recreating my lost body to bring me here.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, though. You've always wanted to be a real girl, haven't you? How does it feel, to have that wish?

I... that's not...

[She shakes her head, fighting back tears. Albedo why do you always make her cry.]

*Success! But that's all he'll do for now, since he's not trying to make Rubedo mad at him.*

What's the matter, cat got your tongue?

Ahh, but it hardly matters, in this case. We're all bound within this location in space and time, regardless of our own wills. Quite rude of them, isn't it?

You're trapped here, too? But... I don't understand...

It's really quite simple, as unexpected as it may be. Whatever has caused your arrival in this place was also able to draw myself out of Rubedo's subconscious and provide me with a physical form.

Or had you believed me to be beyond even the reach of things such as that? I'm flattered, but afraid that's not the case. You're stuck here with me until a solution presents itself.

They made a body for you? Do the people here have access to such technology? I thought we'd been pulled to the past...?

So it would seem. Given my lack of resources, I've yet to ascertain whether this is a Realian body or a genuine human form, but whatever the case, you'd never know I'm supposed to exist in Rubedo's subconscious.

It's quite a puzzle. If we're really in this ancient past, how is it possible that I now exist in physical form? Unless, that is, we've been brought here by something greater than a mere human, engineered or not.

You think it could be a Realian body? But we're so far in the past... And yet, you are in a body, somehow. What's going on...?

The possibility exists. Even if it's not precisely the same technology as what we're familiar with, it's the most likely possibility...assuming, that is, our hosts are from our own level of existence, which I have reason to believe is not the case. If that's what's going on, then levels of technology are meaningless.

Yes, that's very true.

Albedo... um... [She seems to want to say something, but isn't sure how.]

Speak up if you want to say something, Ma Peche. I haven't eternity anymore, you know.

Do you think... that maybe... we could be friends...?

"Friends"? *He puts a fair amount of disgust and disbelief into that word.* What makes you believe I would desire friendship with you?

I... I guess I...

[Okay that kind of totally crushed her.]

You what? You thought that just because I'm cured of U-DO's taint, we can be all buddy buddy? Please. I won't lay a hand on you because I don't want to cause Rubedo the kind of suffering he felt when she died, but that doesn't mean my feelings for you have changed.

[She doesn't say anything - there really aren't any words. All she can do is nod slightly, unable to hide the tears in her eyes.]

*He's probably enjoying this way too much, sadist that he is.*

Such a naive way of thinking. Even now, the idea of cooperating with you disgusts me. The only reason I've been so nice up until now is because I acknowledge that this is a bit beyond my ability to figure out on my own.

{And she's trying not to just. Hang up. So she can go cry where no one can find her.]

...You're... not all alone, Albedo... But I'll leave you alone if you want...

*Being all alone is what scares him, and the comment causes his expression to falter briefly before puts the cruel smirk back on.*

What makes you think I find being all alone to be a problem? You all disgust me, remember?

[Oh if only MOMO had seen that, but she's still looking away and trying to hide her tears.]

Not Jr., though... right...?
