[video&action for orlea]

[smallskull]

[Assassin has been dutifully following her Master's orders, tracking one of the natives as part of the "game" he proposed to her. Sometimes, though, something else catches her eyes, and she finds herself distracted from the task at hand. This is one of those times.]

[Her target lives in Orlea, and from what she has gathered, music is one of his primary hobbies. So, it's no surprise when tailing him eventually leads to her following him into a store centered on as much. She has never really had the chance to listen to music before, much less any of the modern sort, so it isn't long before her attention falls away from him and onto the racks of CDs.]

[This is the backdrop when she decides ask a question of the populace at large. She wastes no time on an introduction or an explanation when she opens her mouth.]

What kinds of music are good?

[After this question is asked, if anyone is in the area and interested in stopping by the store, they may find Assassin inside, headphones held over her ears as she listens to whatever CD she happens to be sampling at the time. She has been picking what to listen to by how much she likes its name, which is maybe a little childish, but she is a child.]

[smallskull]

Okay! [She steps toward the exit without stopping to clean up after herself.] I want to do and see a lot of new things here.

[darkhourdear]

[That's ok, Pharos will follow her.] Me too.

[smallskull]

Have you ever had pizza before? I tried it for the first time when I got here. You should try it, too.

[darkhourdear]

Pizza? [He shakes his head.] No, I haven't... What is it?

[smallskull]

It's a food! Um... The kind Michelangelo gave me tasted kind of weird, but I think you can put different things on it, so we could try a different kind instead.

[darkhourdear]

Alright. That could be fun. [He's really curious now...]

[smallskull]

Then let's get some after we see a Shadow. It's round and flat, and you cut it into slices that are shaped kind of like a triangle, and then you hold it like this and eat it.

[She pantomimes her description as she gives it.]

[darkhourdear]

[...he has no idea what she's describing.] That sounds very strange.

[smallskull]

[She nods a little.] It's different.

[darkhourdear]

Where do you get it?

[smallskull]

I think you can get it in restaurants. That last time I had it, a turtle gave it to me.

[darkhourdear]

Alright. I guess we can ask. I'm sure someone knows where it is.

[smallskull]

Right. Is there anything else you want to do?

[darkhourdear]

Nothing in particular. But maybe if we look around, we'll find something else.

[smallskull]

Mm-hm, maybe. [She nods in agreement.] There's a lot of things to do here that I couldn't before.

[darkhourdear]

[Pharos nods, heading towards Astralfield but making care to not loose her in the crowd.] It's the same with me.

[smallskull]

Why could you only come out during the "Dark Hour"?

[darkhourdear]

Because I'm a Shadow.

[smallskull]

You're a shadow? [...] Are the other ones like you?

[darkhourdear]

No. I guess I'm a little human, too. I'm not entirely sure.

[smallskull]

Um...! That's weird. You said they're creatures, but you don't look like a creature... What are they, exactly?

[darkhourdear]

They come from human emotions... mostly negative ones.

[smallskull]

What emotions do you come from?

[darkhourdear]

[Pharos thinks about this for a moment- not stumped on the question, just thinking about how to say it.]

I don't think it's really separated like that, for most Shadows. But for me... I exist because people desire the Fall.

[smallskull]

It isn't? [She kind of assumed that had something to do with the way they were classified, but...] "The Fall"?
