[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...

It's going to be tough without my sword or my Runes, though.

You'll get them back eventually! The town likes to give us our stuff back after they're done screwing with us~...

[pause]

You're not allowed to go to the Post Office, though. Mother's orders~!

How long do you usually have to wait?

[...paaaaaause]

...Did you say 'mother?'

Every month or so, usually. I only just got all of my runes back!

[L-Laughing. This is going to be fun.]

Yeah, that's one of the, uh, weird things about this place. Everyone in this house? The town thinks we're all one big happy family~

So the...

[Lyon, slightly flustered, glances back at the pamphlet for a moment.]

...drones think you're my mother?

Yup! And you've got a brother and a daddy, too~ They're both really nice. We lucked out!

[Not... gonna mention the fact that they're both assassins just yet...]

O-oh...

[Lyon goes sort of quiet there. She's not exactly sure how to handle suddenly having a family. It's the first time for her, after all.]

Not that I don't want to get out the first chance that I get, but... until then, it's not all bad, see?

[HAIR RUFFLE!!]

You're the first person from Falena to show up since I've been here! There are a few other people from our world here, but they're all from waaaay up north... and a few years into the future, too~

[Lyon makes an adorable little poutyface as Miakis messes with her hair, reaching up to smooth it down afterward.]

Well, I guess I'm lucky to be living with someone I already know.

[Small, tentative smile. She's still clearly worried, though.]

Yeah! Ken and Omi are old friends back in their world, too, so we're all pretty lucky~

[Miakis smiles brightly in the hopes of being comforting and encouraging.]

Cheer up, Lyon! It could be a lot worse!

I suppose there's no sense in moping about it.

[Another sigh, followed by a more genuine smile.]

We'll just have to get through this.

Hey, after all the stuff that happened back home, this is a cakewalk~ We'll be okay.

You're right. So, tell me more about the resistance effort. What can I do to help?

Weeeellll~ We'll need to find you a weapon, first, to hold you over until the town returns your sword... and I'll have to introduce you to the Major General!

Beyond that, I've just been training and recruiting until we receive further orders. [shrug] We'll be launching an attack soon; it's just a matter of waiting for the right time!

So it's actually not that different from what we're doing at home, then.

[Lyon seems to consider that for a moment, and then another thought strikes her out of the blue.]

Oh, Miakis! How was Princess Lymsleia doing when you came here? We'd just gotten word of her coronation ceremony coming up before I came here.

[Miakis opens her mouth to answer that question, but pauses. Wait, why is she...]

L-Lyon... That was a long time ago! The war's been over for... a while now.

Edited 2011-05-11 20:30 (UTC)

What? But... how?

Well, you know how I said that time flows differently here?

[DRAMATIC PAUSE]

I'm from the future!!

[This face. U TROLLAN?]

I'm serious! You guys just went to Lelcar not too long ago, right? That was over a year ago for me! I know everything that happens~!

There are even a couple of people here that are from twenty-five years into the future! This place is crazy, I'm telling you!

So... how does the war turn out, then? I guess if you're here, things probably worked out for the best, right?

[Hopeful and maybe a little scared of what the answer might be, but she still wants to know.]

You'll see for yourself sooner or later!

Miakis! That's not fair!

[trollolololol]

It's perfectly fair! I didn't know how things would turn out until it was all over, after all. It's like... reading a book or watching a play! I'd hate to spoil the ending for you~

Can you at least tell me if the Prince is all right?
