Making a Map - Open

[agelessobsession]

Characters: Youmu and You!
Date: August 20
Summary: Making a map of the gardens.
Warnings: None.

Youmu's still a little unsure about this place. Sure, it's pretty and all, but the scenery is so diverse! First the shrine she knew of from her own world, then a cafe suddenly opened with robots and weird gears, and she's concerned about the area she spotted with a million gadgets and flickering screens (really addictive flickering screens). It's all discomforting and strange, and to cope, she's taken to creating a map. High up in the sky she sketched out the general shape of the area, and then flew back down low to begin drawing in the more detailed parts of the land.

She's not the best artist (certainly not), but she's devoted to her work, hardly paying others any mind as she treks through the woods and crudely draws markers for each new landmark she observes up close.

"Seems there was a lighthouse over there a ways..." She tilts her head up to the sky, frowning. "Maybe I should fly back up for another bird's-eye view."

Comments

She just shrugs. "I'd assume it's constantly expanding, seeing how powerful this Queen of Hearts is."

[agelessobsession]

Youmu rolls up the map, nodding.

"Can you tell me anything about the Queen of Hearts, Milady?" She's curious, but hasn't been able to discover much since coming here.

"I'm afraid I don't know much at all, apart from the fact that she's rarely seen. And is a bit childish. Alice-san has been here quite a while, perhaps she can tell you more?"

[agelessobsession]

"Ahh... Alice."

She frowns, staring down at the map in her hands.

"She's a bit difficult to talk to."

In other words, she's really weird, and Youmu doesn't want to have tea at her house again any time soon.

Yuyuko picks up on Youmu's awkward feelings, and while she can't exactly empathize, she doesn't want to cause unneeded discomfort.

"That's unfortunate. Hmmm...Jessica-san, maybe? She had a guide written up for the newcomers, so perhaps there's more she knows."

[agelessobsession]

She perks up at that. "Who is this Jessica? I've yet to meet anyone by that name."

[bloomnobly]

"Jessica Boyette is her name, I believe. She is a friend of mine, ah, and one of the girls that was taken by the pirate queen during the siege." Yuyuko laughs slightly. A friend? On good terms, certainly. Yuyuko liked her helpful demeanor, but she had to admit to herself having another "ghost" in the garden was nice, even if she didn't quite qualify.

"I see," she says with a nod. "I'll have to keep an eye out for her. Perhaps she could help me with this."

She smiles. "Thank you, Milady."

[bloomnobly]

"Good luck," she says, and makes a motion to fly off.

[agelessobsession]

She nods into a bow and watches her depart, then turns to stride off to find this Jessica person. Maybe this map won't be so hard, after all.
