1st Star

[My, what a lovely Monday morning it is in Mayfield.  There's a new resident at 747 Partridge Drive who happens to be waking up for the first time in her new bed, well before the sun comes up.  After all, she needs to make sure the Prince is up bright and early!  Unfortunately, Lyon is no longer in Sindar Castle, and she will soon find that the Prince is nowhere to be found.  It doesn't take her long to notice the change in surroundings.]

Wh-what?  Where am I?  Did Viki sleepwalk in here again and sneeze in her sleep?

[Wasting no time, Lyon heads for the closet, throwing on a simple sundress and tying her hair back with a red ribbon.]

This is bad! I have to find the Prince!

[Action; around Mayfield; early morning to mid-afternoon]

[Lyon is out the door before her new not!family even has the chance to meet her, taking to the streets just as most Mayfield residents should be leaving for their jobs or school.  She's in a bit of a panic given her unfamiliar surroundings, but doing her best to keep calm and controlled.  Finding the Prince comes first - she can worry about where she is afterward.]

Prince!  Prince, where are you?

[Action; around Mayfield; mid-afternoon to early evening]

[Later on in the day, after coming up empty asking for information about the Prince, Lyon turns her attention to trying to figure out where exactly she's been teleported to.  She doesn't know what drones are yet, so she's just asking whoever she sees around.]

Excuse me!  I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.  Can you tell me how far we are from the Queendom of Falena...?

[Action; 747 Partridge; early evening]

[Of course, Lyon's search is ultimately fruitless, and after spending a good deal of the day frantically running around town, she finally slinks back to 747 Partridge Drive.  New family, there is now a cute teenage girl looking rather downtrodden slowly making her way through the front door with a heavy sigh.]

What's going on in this town...

[By this point, Lyon has gone to the kitchen to fix herself some dinner. She peeks her head around the corner at the new voice.]

...Hello?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Ah? [New voice? Ken looks at Lyon for a second and then smiles.]

Hello there. Haven't seen you around here before, ya new?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes! My name is Lyon. You must be Ken. It's nice to meet you.

[She smiles, bowing politely.]

I understand I'm going to be living here for a while...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be me. Lemme guess, you ran into Miakis or Omi first huh?

Hey Lyon, it's nice to meetcha too. [He smiles reassuringly] Don't worry about all the formal stuff, we're gonna be in close quarters for a while.

Are you hungry? Do you have any questions?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I know Miakis from home. We were in the Queens Knight's together. I'm still just an apprentice, though. But she explained everything already, so I think I understand.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh good, it'll make her feel better to have a friend from home. She's been really disappointed every time someone from your world shows up and it's not someone she knows.

Alright. Just let me know if you have any questions, ok?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you. And if there's anything I can do to help out while I'm here, let me know.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, if you know Miakis, that helps. Means I have someone else that'll help keep her contained.

[He's joking.]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I hope she hasn't been too much trouble.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Nah, not too much. [From Ken's voice it's clear that he's incredibly fond of her. Well, she is his girlfriend believe it or not.]

I love 'er anyways.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Love...? Are you two dating?

[Lyon sounds a little shocked, but also pretty pleased. Miakis is her friend, after all - it's only natural to want her to be happy.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[See Ken. See Ken turn bright red. Blush Ken blush.

He nods and pushes his fingers together.]

Yeah, she didn't tell you? Well, I guess she had other things to talk about. But yes. We're dating. And yes, she knows.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

How long have the two of you been together?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Uh...for...for a month or so. I really like her a lot, she's kinda the perfect girl for me.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

That's great! I'm happy for you.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken smiles bashfully back at her. He was glad that he had the approval of someone who knew Miakis from home.]

I'm glad. Thank you.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

So how long have you been here, Ken? Miakis said she's been in Mayfield for over a year already.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I think almost a year. And Miakis doesn't count. She said she went home for a while...

[He's teasing about that last bit.]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Went home? Wait! She said that wasn't possible!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

She did, did she? Well, she's partially right. You see this town, it can bring us here on a whim and it can send us home on a whim.

We have no control over it so we may as well just say we can't go home.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

So there is a chance I'll be able to go back!

[Small comforts, man. She misses her Prince.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

A small one, but yeah, there is a chance.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Then we need to hold onto that hope and do the best we can.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Hah, great minds think alike.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Miakis mentioned a resistance movement, so I'm going to see if I can join up with that.
