[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.]

[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"?

[darkhourdear]

[Pharos just nods, looking out and smiling as they cross the border.] We're here.

[smallskull]

But what's... Oh!

[She perks up as they reach Astralfield, momentarily distracted as she looks around.]

I haven't been here before. You should show me around after we find a [another?] Shadow.

[Normally, she's fine with studying a district's layout on her own, but she wants to keep spending time with Pharos.]

[darkhourdear]

Alright. Let's go this way. [The scenery tends to change a bit each day, but he likes it. More things to explore.]

[smallskull]

Okay!

[It would probably frustrate her, since she's used to being able to memorize the layout of an area quickly. She falls quiet, though, as her head turns this way and that. This place is strange, so she takes in all the details eagerly.]

[darkhourdear]

[Pharos is happy to just walk around with a friend, and he only pauses when he sees something of interest.] That's a restaurant, isn't it?

[smallskull]

Huh? [She stops when he does, looking toward the building he has focused on.] Shouldn't you know?

[darkhourdear]

Things change here a lot. [But! Going to go investigate.]

[smallskull]

They change? [But, she follows after him. After all, if neither of them know, there's only one way to find out.]

[darkhourdear]

Every night. [It is, in fact, a restaurant! Doesn't appear to have pizza, though...]

[smallskull]

Doesn't that make it hard to find your way around? [No pizza, but Assassin leans up on her toes slightly to peer around. Maybe there's something else here she's interested in trying...]

[darkhourdear]

[Well, there is a lot of delicious looking food on people's tables...] A little, but I don't mind.
