[rydiaofmist]

[Amidst the snow and cold of Union, a strange woman walks the streets in minimal, what looked to be handmade winter gear, not nearly as affected by it as she has any right to be. She is tall, striking green eyes and even more unusual green hair thrown partially over on shoulder, looking more wild than anything else. Gliding above her is a Pidgey, a band of brightly-colored beads wrapped around its right ankle; and rested on her shoulder is a Goomy, likewise adorned with a necklace of differently-colored beads, part of which seem to have been enveloped within its gooey body. She walks without purpose, simply watching, seemingly mystified by what she saw.

Scouting the outer wall did not prepare her for what was inside. These people lived piled atop one another, and there were so many of them! They dressed strangely, too (what were these things called petticoats, and why did some women insist upon wearing them?), almost completely covered from head to toe, and in such drab colors. This Union, it was a strange place, so very different from what she was used to.]

[rydiaofmist]

That's too bad.

[Although she's not totally convinced how squiggles can do anything, she's not rude.]

[somnambulatory]

It is. Ice cream is so good.

[rydiaofmist]

Ice cream?

[somnambulatory]

You've never had it before?

[rydiaofmist]

[She shakes her head, no.]

[somnambulatory]

[Jinxie's about to ask how that's possible, but then she remembers something.]

Oh... is it possible you came in from the outside too?

[rydiaofmist]

[She nods.]

[somnambulatory]

Do you know Miss Yakumo?

[rydiaofmist]

You know Lady Yukari?

[somnambulatory]

Oh, does Ran have a sister?

[rydiaofmist]

[Don't laugh, Rydia, she doesn't know.]

Oh, you meant Ran. I'm sorry. Yes, I do know her.

[somnambulatory]

I met her the other day. She's very nice.

[rydiaofmist]

Oh, I see!

[Rydia smiles warmly.]

Yes, yes she is. She's like a second mother to me.

[somnambulatory]

And to a lot of other people, too.
