Umm... hello? Is... is there anyone there? I'm not sure who exactly I'm speaking to, as I've never used something like this before, but... does anyone know where I am? I... I was traveling with a merchant caravan until just recently, but I'm afraid I'm a bit lost. I... ohh...

[the voice grows fainter, and fainter, until an audible thud is heard.]

Ooh... I'm so sorry about that... I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit faint... This kind of thing happens to me from time to time. Does... does anyone have any food they might be able to spare me? I feel... so weak... I have so many questions I want to ask about where I am... and why in the Goddesses name have I found myself here... but I don't think I can really rightly ask those questions until I eat something. It... feels like it's been weeks since I've last eaten anything.

[The young woman's voice becomes a bit more somber for this last part.]

There is... one more thing that is incredibly important to me. Upon arriving here, I seemed to have been stripped of my belongings, and there was one item that was very precious to me. Does anyone know what would have happened to my rexbolt tome? I fear it is... utterly irreplaceable.

Weak...? Faint...? Miss, if you need attention, be assured I shall tend to you! And I shall bring you food as well, please state your tastes! Your belongings can wait for the time being!

[Voice]

[ilyana]

Thank you... that's very kind of you. Anything will do really, so long as it's filling...

[Voice]

[niceguypose]

Okay, of course! I will obtain it for you posthaste - but wait! What is your location, Miss?

[Voice]

[ilyana]

I... don't really know. I'm in a forest, but I don't recognize any kind of big landmarks that you could use to pinpoint me.

[Voice]

[niceguypose]

Very well! I... swear to you, Miss! I shall tirelessly search every square foot of the forest until I find you! I will not give up, even if it kills me!

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

WEEKS?!

O-oi! Go to the restaurant. And if there's no cook working I'll be right over. Where are you now? Can you even walk?

[Voice]

[ilyana]

Where is the restaurant? Which restaurant are we referring to? Are you planning on treating me? I'm in a forest... and I think there's the sound of some running water nearby. Um... where should I be heading...

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

It's free. Follow the sound to the water and follow it east or north.

[Voice]

[ilyana]

Umm... East or north...

[Now all she had to do was figure out which way east or north was.]

Umm... does the sun set in the west in this world?

[She's really not sure, and it's sort of hard to tell whether it's rising or setting since it's pretty much right above her head.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] Yes. Not that that's not a good question. Ah, go upstream. That's probably a lot easier.

[rashness]

[...Lee go to the food before him but WEEKS? WHO DOESN'T EAT IN WEEKS]

O-oi! Do I need to make you lunches?!

[ilyana]

W-Would you? I would be... very grateful...

[rashness]

If you're forgettin' to eat for that long at a time, it seems like someone oughta be making sure you do, that's all.

[ilyana]

Well... I try to eat whenever I get the chance... but I don't know when the last time I ate was, since I've been brought here against my will.

[rashness]

Wait, wait, so you've been lost for days or something since you got here?

[voice]

[shinesbrightest]

[Wow, jeez, that doesn't sound good.]

A-are you okay? I mean, have you found anything to eat yet?

[voice]

[ilyana]

Do you... have anything I can eat?

[That doesn't exactly answer the question, but she's hungry.]

[voice]

[shinesbrightest]

[...guess that's a no, then! He smiles a little. He wants to be helpful, so...!]

Yeah, sure, I think so. Where are you?

[voice]

[ilyana]

I'm sort of lost in the forest... by a river... but someone in the village told me if I follow the river upstream, I should make it to town.

[voice]

[shinesbrightest]

Yes, that's right. Do you think you'll be able to reach the village?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

--Ma'am. I have a few rations and water. I can carry you back to town. Can you use your journal to show me around?

[Voice/Video]

[ilyana]

Really? I... I would be very grateful! Umm... hang on.

[Ilyana fiddles with her journal for a bit, until she finally clicks on the video function.]

Umm, is this working?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

[She waits a little, eventually nodding.]

Got it. I should be there shortly, ma'am. I'll bring over a few power bars.

[She hopes Ilyana might forgive her for nigh-poisoning her. It's joked that people died in the making of Meals-Ready-to-Eat: Everyone that had to eat those things.

Either way, if she looks around? ... There is a tall woman with a small backpack, a pistol, and a short sword with her. By tall, by the way, it is seven feet of height.]

[Action]

[ilyana]

[Ilyana wasn't exactly on the tall side, being only 4'9 or so. So when she saw Daisy, she looked up in amazement at just how tall she was.]

W-wow...

[Of course she was soon brought out of her amazement by her hunger, and she slumped back down against the tree again.]

Umm... do you have... what exactly is a power bar?

[Action]

[daisy023]

It's a food bar meant to temporarily replenish carbohydrates and proteins. It's not a meal, but it works until you get one.

[Not to mention it would be insulting food itself to compare the taste of power bars with that of food.

Bending down for the small girl, Daisy doesn't pay much attention to her amazement. She offers her one bar to eat.]
