[Action in Barheim Passage/Action in the Estersand, both backdated a little bit]

...Boss?

[She taps the linkpearl a few times, shakes it around and then holds it to her ear.]

Boss, you there? This is kind of important. I mean, it's not so important that you should stop what you're doing or anything but it's- you know. A little bit important, right? I just woke up- I'm pretty sure I'm awake, at least. Pinched myself. Hurt. Bruised. Not dreaming, probably. Never had this kind of dream before anyway, it's always the one about the biscuits or about the fat cat or that one about the moon falling down. Never just winding up in some- place.

So, right, I woke up- or, you know. Or something. Don't remember falling asleep, but I must've, because a body can't very well just be somewhere else all of a sudden. Not without using the aether. And I'd know if I used the Aether because I'd be becoming reacquainted with my supper, you know what those aetherytes do to my stomach. So I must've fallen asleep. Almost certain of it. And now I'm awake and this isn't anyplace I've ever been before. Definitely wasn't here when I fell asleep. If I fell asleep. Don't think I sleepwalked my way here, neither. I mean, you'd think I'd trip over if I was walking around in my sleep, and I'm here and relatively unbruised. Except for the one on the arm,  but that wasn't from tripping over. Pinching, remember? I think I told you. To make sure I was awake. Which I am. Probably.

And that's the status, I suppose. Alive. Awake, like as not. Not hurt, save for the one bruise, and I can account for that one. Just- you know. In the wrong place. Little bit lost. Little bit surrounded by monsters. Might be kidnapped or something. That kind of business. Nothing to be too alarmed about, I might just be a little late for rehearsal. Thought I should let you know.

[For a moment, all is silent. She pouts.]

Look, it's not my fault. I mean, I think it's not my fault. It's probably not my fault. It's unfair to assume it's my fault when I've not even done anything wrong yet. The least you could do is say something!

...boss?

[She frowns and taps at the pearl again.]

Other boss? [Tap tap] Princess?

[Tap tap] Drividot? Drividot, it's me. Could you let the bosses know I'll be late? I'm a little bit kidnapped and-

[Tap tap] Snowdrop? [Tap tap] Flowerboy? [Tap tap tap] ...Sis?

[Nothing. She grumbles under her breath about how mean the linkpearl is being to her right now and how she's going to get into all sorts of trouble if she's late again - which seems to be her main concern here - as she slumps back against the wall...

...only to find herself face to face with a sheep.]


I want a diamond! [It demands, putting on its best cute face. Its a very good cute face, but Braids just sighs in a very put-upon manner and scratches its head.]

I want a working linkpearl.

[Later, an elezen girl and her sheep can be found wandering the Estersand. Entirely aimlessly, and seemingly not too concerned about things like water. Someone might want to retrieve them.]
