[ action/voice ; at All Passions ]

[ After defeating the last person standing in their way before reaching Van this was not what Natalia was expecting. One moment she just gets finished getting scolded (and slapped) by Jade and the next moment? ]

Where am I?

[ She's in between some clothes on the rack at All Passions. She shifts around trying to get up and feels the journal beside her. Unknowingly to her the same fall that caused her to end up the racks also cause the journal to start recording. So she simply picks it up and examines it not knowing that people can hear her. ]

This doesn't look like any journal I've seen. It's certainly not Luke's...

[ She takes a look around again and frowns. ]

Whoever's idea this is certainly does not understand how urgent our situation is. But who could have done this...

[ How strange. She can't think of anyone who could have done this. Everyone on Van's side is well... dead. And even though the ability to transport them somewhere?

But not only that-- ]

Ah-- These are not the clothes I was wearing before.
Whoever has done this better be ready to explain when I find out who they are.

[ She manages to get out of the clothes rack and ends up shutting off the journal in the process of doing so. She takes a look around the store for anything tha could help her understand where she is. This includes stopping and looking at some plushies are in the store because wow they're cute. ]

[ action ; around the village ]
[ You can find Natalia wandering around Luceti. She's not in her normal clothes but she will be in clothes she got from All Passion. Feel free to bump into her in anyway you wish. ]

[WAY TO GO NATALIA SHE TRUSTED YOU. With the two of them now on the floor the shop falls very quiet, except for Erica mumbling to herself. She has her eyes closed tight as she lays splayed out on the ground. She needs to wait for the rest of the world to stop spinning before she can even risk looking around without feeling sick.]

Round and... Around and... Aheheeeh, owww. Everything happened so fast, I'm still spinning even now. Are you alright over there?

[ OOPS SORRY ERICA. Natalia is waiting for her to stop being dizzy herself before she considers moving again because wow. That was something. ]

Y-Yes... I believe so.

Thank goodness. I'm so sorry, I thought we would be okay but... It's a lot harder to see where you're going than I remember when you spin around like that.

[Erica manages to push herself up so she's sitting on the floor, still looking a little shaky as she rubs the back of her head.]

The next time we do this we should try it outside! [Yes. Next time.]

N-No, it's quite all right. I have just never spun in that way before. And certainly not as fast.

[ Natalia does the same. How embarrassing this is for her. But she keeps her embarrassment down. ]

Outside, you say ... Y-Yes. Perhaps that would be a better idea.

It really would! Outside, caught in a warm breeze as the sun shines down on us. On a day like that it would be a waste not to go outside and enjoy the weather.

[Slowly, Erica opens one of her eyes and watches as the world still seems to spin around her. She reaches out with a hand to give Natalia a pat on the shoulder, but seeing as there are about three or four Natalias right now in Erica's mind she ends up patting the air in front of her instead.]

I think now that we've spun around together it would be a good time for introductions. My name is Erica Fontaine, nice to spin you!

Oh, that does sound nice. I don't believe I've been able to simply relax and enjoy the weather in a long time.

[ Erica almost patted her shoulder. Almost. Gold star for you. ]

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. It's been a pleasure, Erica!

[She was patting the shoulder of a dizziness induced Natalia, that's almost the real thing. Close enough.]

Then I'll be hoping that the weather will improve quickly so we can both relax together sometime soon, Miss Natalia Lasca Kimluzu Valandear. [... That's a long name okay.] I just realised, you're named after the kingdom you're from!

[ Yes. Close enough. ]

Yes, I hope so as well! [ Oh wow that... is some way to butcher it. At least she got her first name right which is what matters most. ] Ah, yes. That's because I am the princess of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear.

Ah yes, because you're a princess. [...] Miss Natalia, you're a princess?!

[She's never been around a princess before! Sure, maybe she's friends with a noble back home, but a princess is on a completely different level. Shakily, Erica manages to get to her feet and perform a bow.]

I never thought I would be spinning in circles with a princess!

[ Natalia nods her head. ]

Indeed I am! Though you do not have to treat me like a princess. You're welcome to treat me like everyone else here.

I am very welcome to then! And you are welcome to treat me like everyone else as well. Or treat me in whatever way makes you most comfortable!

[Still bowing forwards, Erica holds out a hand to help Natalia up.]

[ Natalia takes Erica's hand and stands up before brushing herself off. New Feather dress or not is shouldn't get them dirty! ]

Thank you. And Yes, of course! It's only fair that I do the same.

[Oh right, she's still wearing her New Feather clothes. Between the spinning and the plushies she hadn't really noticed until now.]

Oh Miss Natalia, is that dress yours? The white dresses here always remind me of the clothes of an angel, even if they don't belong to the person wearing them.

[ Natalia shakes her head at the question ]

Not quite. This was not was I was wearing before arriving here. I think that they had placed me in this dress before dropping me here. I'm not too fond of it so I was hoping to find a change of clothes while here.

You're really not fond of it? I see. I think that everyone looks wonderful in their new dresses when they arrive... [But to each their own. Erica looks down for a moment, but she soon brightens up again in no time at all.]

Would you like a hand with looking for something else to wear? I've found many of my own clothes here, so perhaps we can find some of yours as well!

I'm afraid it's not quite what I am used to wearing. [ Regardless though she does smile ]

Yes, I would surely appreciate the help! I've noticed that many of these articles of clothing aren't what I normally wear. Perhaps together we can find something that I won't mind wearing. If we could find something of mine then that will be even better.

In that case I have to ask, what don't you mind wearing? There are many clothes here that I think would really suit you, but if it's something you mind wearing then I wouldn't want it to weight too heavily on you.

[It wouldn't be right to burden someones mind with clothes they don't particularly want to wear after all.]

Perhaps something light and simple... [Like the new feather dress-! Wait. Dang.]

There isn't anything that I wouldn't mind wearing. Just as long as I believe it suits me.

[ Which this feather dress does not. But hey-- ]

Yes, something light and simple is an option.

I see! Then let me have a look over here and see what there is...

[Erica walks over to a rack of clothes, busying herself by looking through them for a moment before finding something she thinks Natalia would like. With a nod to herself, Erica heads back over to Natalia and presents her with a dress!

... A dress which looks very similar to the new feather dress. Perhaps a little longer. And the sewing on the hem is in a different colour. And with all the minor differences it has it's still obvious why she chose it.]

How about this?! When I saw it I immediately thought of you.

[ Natalia looks through the racks herself while Erica goes through them. When she hears Erica again she looks and--

.... oh.

She thinks about it for a moment. ]

Hm... perhaps something of a different fabric would be more suited.

[ Maybe that'll get Erica to stop thinking of finding something like the new feather dress ]

Perhaps this material is a little rough for you. I wouldn't want it to bother you Miss Natalia, I'll try again!

[Off she goes! Aaand back she comes only a couple of seconds later with another dress. Again, white dress. Only this time? It's in silk.]

Now this dress really is wonderful, isn't it? It would look good if you wore it on a bright, sunny day.

[ Natalia thinks about the white silky dress. Well ... guess Erica isn't going to deviate from the sort. Maybe she could find a headband or something to counteract the white. ]

All right. That one will do.

[ Besides its silk. Much better than the fabric she is wearing. ]

Thank you for going with my choice! I really do think this one is the perfect match for a princess from Baticul.

[It's the Capital of Light. Silk is kind of shiny in the right light. And it's white. Yup, perfect match right there.]

No, thank you! I'll go and change into it this instant. Yes, I so suppose it is a good match.

[ Yep totally just going with it now. ]
