[ Natalia wasn't very pleased with this turn of events. With something of great importance just about to happen back home she can't just stay here and not participate. She wanted to get home and as soon as possible.
If it was even possible. She's starting to realize that this isn't even Auldraunt she's on anymore. She's never seen a village like this before in her travels. And while she's aware that there is still a lot to learn about her country it just ... doesn't seem like Kimlasca. Nor does it seem like Malkuth.
The fact that she has little wings also points to this not being Auldraunt.
She's been carrying the journal around and eventually she had settled down somewhere and opened it. This wasn't... a journal she's ever seen before. But it seems to be come sort of communication device. It takes a moment but eventually she turns on the audio. ]
Greetings. I am Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and, if I may, ask if someone could explain where I am. And if there is any way to go back to where I am from I would be enlightened to hear. Any other information, such as why I have wings, I would also wish to know.
Thank you.
[ So princess like Natalia. ]

[ Natalia finds herself walking more around Luceti and trying to get a firmer grasp of where she is after her little broadcast. So feel free to find her anywhere around town while she tries to get her bearings on the situation. It's a bit chilly outside and she starts to shiver after a while but she's toughing it out. She's already seemingly been forced to give into the fact that she's not where she should be. She doesn't want to give in to the cold without finding out where she is first as well. ]

[Action]
[Without even thinking about the possible implications of her seeing him here alive, he quickly turns and calls out to her. His voice has changed a bit, but should still be recognizable.]
Natalia? Is that you?
[Action]
She turns and sees Ion and notices how different he looks. He was taller than she remembers him being and his figure seems to be different as well. She wasn't sure if it was due to the clothing or not. It was hard to imagine that this was him but at the same time ...
There was only one way to find out. ]
Ion? I did not expect to see you here.
[ Put as lightly as possible. ]
[Action]
[With a sympathetic smile, he nods.]
I could very well say the same myself... have you been outside for very long? We should get you inside somewhere to warm up first. There's a tea shop not too far from here that should do for now.
[Action]
Since I've arrived. [ Which would be maybe an hour or so now? hm.. ] I could use some tea to warm up with. I'll follow you so lead the way.
[Action]
Have you spoken with anyone about where we are yet? As I'm sure you're already aware, this place is rather different from anywhere on Auldrant. [And if not, well, there's a nice and quick way to get the whole "by the way this isn't even our planet" thing out of the way.]
[Action]
[ She's gotten the idea that she might not even be on Auldraunt by now but that leaves the question of exactly where are they if it's not. ]
[Action]
We've been told we're in here for our own safety, though I still wouldn't consider them very benevolent.
[He does well to mask the uncharacteristic bitterness he's come to use when speaking about the Malnosso.]
[Action]
[ Clearly Natalia does not approve of this ]
Especially if you don't consider them very benevolent.
[Action]
[One of many mysteries surrounding this world, as it were.]
The Malnosso have been trapped in this world far longer than anyone currently in Luceti. Our oldest residents have been here for at least 5 years. And I myself have been here for-- for nearly 2 years now. [He catches himself before saying that in Luceti-equivalent years. Two years on Auldrant were over 4 here in Luceti.]
[Action]
[ That's pretty concerning. And what's more concerning is how long some people have been here and are still here. ]
For two years ... [ Well they would explain why he looks different. But she doesn't enjoy the thought of being here for that long. But she doesn't feel like it's right to say that in front of Ion specifically. ]
[Action]
But not everyone stays for the same amount of time. People are always coming and going, and sometimes they don't even remember being here in the past when they return. [Which seems to be the case for Natalia herself, though Ion isn't likely to mention something like that off the bat -- it's probably one of the most disorientating things about this place.]
And I've heard people say time doesn't pass in our own worlds so long as we're still in Luceti, so you shouldn't have to worry about missing whatever it was you were doing before you woke up here.
[Voice]
My, hasn't anyone ever told you? Only the purest-hearted maidens sprout wings when they come of age. Let me be the first to congratulate you on making it to adulthood, Natalia.
[In other words, hai.]
[Voice]
answer: just about anyone.Still ... ]
I've just arrived ... wherever we are currently residing. How was I to know. [ .... ] Are you certain that is the background behind these wings I have?
[ It's really hard to tell whether or not your joking Jade. ]
[Voice]
This place is called Luceti. [See? Perfectly factual information!] But my, Natalia, you should know by now how severely I frown at the spreading of misinformation. It's simpy irresponsible.
[Voice]
Luceti? I've never heard of it. [ You can't see it but she's frowning ] Why am I finding that hard to believe.
[Voice]
Oh, he can see it alright. Jade sees all]And here I thought that geography was your strong suit. Granted, we are currently quite outside Kimlasca-Lanvaldeer's boundaries.
I can't see how you'd find anything to be hard to believe. Why, I've been nothing but dependable and trustworthy.
[Voice]
Your eyes are too good Jade go find very dark sunglasses or something]Ah, then that would explain it why I have never seen or even heard of such a place. Though I hardly think we're in Malkuth so where is this village located?
Perhaps so in your actions. But you haven't always been entirely truthful in your words in the past.
[Voice]
Would his complimentary Abyss cast shutter shades count?]You could say that it's located in an entirely different world. However, as Emperor Peony has arrived here first, one could say that this village can already be considered to be under Malkuth jurisdiction.
You know, you could heart an old man's heart with those words.
[Voice]
yes. yes they would]So he is here as well, then? But if this is an entirely different world than Auldraunt then how did we arrive here to begin with?
Then perhaps after the old man should change how he acts.
[Voice]
You know that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Unless of course those tricks are fonic artes.
[Voice]
Well I certainly cannot teach you any fonic artes. I'm sure there is some alternative I could follow.
[Voice]
If there is, I don't find myself at liberty to disclose it.
[Voice]
[ A small scoff ] Of course not! You are perfectly content with the way you are, are you not.
[Voice]
Why yes, I'm simply a portrait of contentment.
no subject
Now he just has to decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing...]
...Natalia. The Necromancer's full of it, as usual.
no subject
[ That... that voice. There was no mistaking it. She was certain that she was to never hear that voice again. At least, not in that brash tone of his specifically. ]
I... see. Then I must take it that the information he 'provided' me about the wings are false.
[ Her voice is steady albeit quivering ever so lightly as she tries to remain calm. But the idea of this happening just moments after it's... it's much too soon. ]
no subject
Of course it's false. Though why he assumes it's acceptable to lie in a situation like this is something I'll never understand about him.
no subject
[ Though this is Jade we're talking about. Still if she had to decide between hearing false information about this place and Asch's voice well ...
Let's just say she's still trying very hard to keep her voice steady. ]
no subject
This is Jade we're talking about. The chances of him doing it for that are pretty damn low.
[He can't say that he's especially close to Jade, but it always felt to him like the man was incapable of being kind.]
no subject
Intentional or not it was good to hear a familiar voice upon arrival.
[ That and Jade can be supportive. In his own way. Natalia has certainly realized that recently if anything. ]
no subject
[Not that there's anything really good about this.]
Are you in the town already? Do you need a guide?
no subject
[ It's probably about early afternoon now.
She seems hesitant on how to answer his second question. She still doesn't know this place and the more information she receives the better. On the other hand she's torn between wanting to see Asch and not wanting to. What is this isn't real? She's not really sure what she could handle. ]
I... would like to understand more of this place. Perhaps learn where a few important buildings are.
[ She was going to have to deal with this sooner or later so it would just be best to go with sooner. ]
no subject
[If it had been anyone else, then yeah, screw them. But this is Natalia. If he took on the castle of Kimlasca for her sake then he can at least show her a few landmarks here.]
Where are you?
no subject
But later. Seeing him in person is priority. ]
I just passed an open enclosure with a fountain. I could turn back and meet you there?
no subject
[No point in beating around the bush about it; he's already on his way, and he'll arrive shortly.]
no subject
no subject
Well, if it isn't the Princess Natalia! [He waves and flashes a smile in greeting, but to be on a more serious note, he removes his scarf and offers it for her to take.] But before we catch up, let's get you inside somewhere. It's a little bit cold out here to just be standing around, don't you think?
no subject
Your Majesty! [ She smiles back in greeting before looking at the offered scarf. She takes it and wraps it around her neck ] Why thank you. Yes, I believe that would be a wise idea. I've been out here for a while and I believe I've gotten a bit cold.
no subject
There's a clothes shop not too far from here, if you follow me. We can find something much warmer for you to wear before I take you to where everyone's been staying.
no subject
Lead the way. From the sounds of it if I don't retrieve warmer clothing now I will need to later.
no subject
[Turning, he begins down the path to the clothes shop at a speed that she should be able to keep up with. And even though he was just there only minutes ago, he doesn't mind going back; he has a few suggestions in mind for her, after all.]
no subject
no subject
Well, here we are, princess. Take a look around and grab what you like.
no subject
[ She moves around the shop partially to warm up and also to look for clothing that she could wear. Eventually she spots a blue jacket and pulls it from the rack. ]
How about this? This seems like it would be warm enough for the weather outside.
no subject
I think it would work wonders against the cold, and look great on you. Though it's missing a little something... [A winter loop scarf! Hmmm, now where could those be.]
no subject
And what might that be?
no subject
The accessories, of course. Or do you plan to borrow mine for the day? [Not like he'd mind or anything.]
no subject
Oh, that is quite alright! I believe I can find something here to wear. [ Though she certainly appreciates the offer! ]
