1st Act [VIDEO]

[actaestfabula]

[The camera turns on to show a pair of red, feline eyes staring intensely at the screen, before it pans back to show a girl wearing a black dress, seemingly no older than twelve years. Resting on her shoulder is a closed black umbrella with the face of a cat, and hovering next to her was a red bat.]

Ah, it is on. When I was pulled into the ground, I did not expect myself to sink into another world. Quite fortunate that my restraints hadn't followed me, or I would have met the most disgraceful of landings.

[With a quick flick of her wrist, she violently gracefully smacked the fat, floating red thing with her closed umbrella.]

Nago! Gii! I require a chair and cushion!

[With the pained chimes of "Yes!" and "Of course!", her cat-like umbrella had swiftly turned into a chair, and the obese red bat creature turned into that of a cushion. She gave a dainty sigh and sat down, resting her head against her hand. She looked at the camera with the most bored of expressions.]

... I've already spent five minutes trying to determine an appropriate algorithm to leave this bland slum; practically forever! I'd rather not have to rely on this communicator for assistance, but as much as I am loathe to admit it, I have no other choice.

Now then, if any of you plebeians would be so wise as to point me to the exit, I will be leaving now and prevent avoidable bloodshed. I'd rather not stay much long, you see, for I have important business to attend to, and a lady is never late to her affairs.

[At the word breaking, Lero flies out of the room shrieking for help. Road sighs.]

I think you scared him.

[Rachel merely tilts her head to the side dismissively.]

Whatever made you think I cared how he felt? Though I admit his screams were a tad... amusing, perhaps? Still, mildly entertained as I am, I'd very much like to leave right now.

Ooh, that was nothing, he screams so much louder~ sometimes. [She giggles.]

You can't leave ♪ No one knows how.

Well, that's certainly not acceptable. Perhaps the option of forcing an exit has not been evaluated yet?

Oh~, they've tried that over and over. It's never worked!

Such an appalling line of defense... That is a pity, very much a pity. I much loathe waiting, moreso if it is for an exit. It disgusts me to think that whoever responsible wishes to dictate where I can or cannot go.

Have none rebelled?

You're not the only one who hates waiting. [Have a long-suffering sigh. Road's used to going where she wants when she wants to.]

They have. They've attacked the clock that they say makes the City work, they've tried making holes in the barrier around the City, they've tried attacking the deities' offices.
