[Audio - video: Vector Prime's temple]

[glass_secret]

[Despite waking up in a strange place, having no idea how she got there, Cindy remained calm. Wouldn't be the first time she was knocked out and taken to an unknown location after all. At least she wasn't tied up this time. Even seeing the giant robed robot didn't phase her much. It wasn't until the Acolyte finished explaining the her current situation that she had an outburst, not realizing that the audio recording to her Link device was on. Better cover your ears kiddies.]

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

[Yep that's a woman's voice coming in over the Link. Needless to say she doesn't sound very happy. A few seconds later, the video feed comes on and there is the source of that voice turns out of be a young blonde woman, who indeed looks pretty mad.]

According to tall, dark, and robed here, I just got dumped onto some strange planet that isn't Earth. Admittedly, not the strangest thing to happen to me, but by far the most inconvenient.

Someone please tell me that they're working on a way of getting us back home. Bad enough that I've been tattooed against my will and the only clothes I have are what's in my luggage, but if I miss Fashion Week I'm going to be royally pissed. The only plus side so far is that the tattoo isn't a tramp stamp and the gold looks pretty damn good on me.

[She gives a frustrated sigh. Considering how strange the situation she's in is already pretty bizarre, she guesses she can get away with telling who she really is.]

By the way, the name is Cinderella. Cindy for short. And if you happen to know a story that involves a glass slipper, then yes, I'm that Cinderella.

...Yeah, you're not on Earth at all, 'Cinderella'.

[Doubtful child sounds doubtful about that name.]

This is Cybertron.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

So I've been told already.

[The kid's doubtfulness doesn't bother her. Let the kid think what she wants to think, it really doesn't make a difference to Cindy.]

What I want to know is how to get out of here.

[Because she has some pretty important stuff to get back to at home.]

[video] it's time

[primest]

Oh, joy. Another organic.

[have an equally pissed off looking robot glaring at you through the screen, cindy]

Yes, you're on another planet and you probably will miss whatever 'Fashion Week' is. No, you can't go home. No-one can.

[video] Let it begin.

[glass_secret]

Oh, joy. Another jackass.

[That glare is returned Sentinel~]

I have to deal with enough of those back home. Guess it was too much to hope that I wouldn't have to here.

Re: [video]

[primest]

Hey, I tried to help.

[he makes a dismissive wave at her]

No, it's ok. Just be an obtuse glitch. You'll fit right in.

[video]

[glass_secret]

If being helpful is to start off sounding disgusted by what the person is you are trying to help, then bravo, you did a fabulous job.

[Here, she even gives you a slow clap for your effort.]

Personally, I rather be a big bad bitch. So you can keep the obtuse glitch title all you want. I'm pretty sure you're quite good at it, sweetie~

[video]

[cec_engineer]

Uh, yeah. There's no way home. Pretty sure some people are trying, though!

[he sighs. man being cheery is hard work]

I recommend you find a room to hole up in in whichever temple you're in. They're the huge ones that are made for giant robots instead of humans, but hey, at least you'll have a lot of space for your things?

[video]

[glass_secret]

Fan-fucking-tastic...

[She sounds so thrilled, doesn't she?]

Yeah, that Acolyte fellow showed me to one.

[Needless to say, she's starting to be reminded of her time in the Cloud Kingdom.]

By any chance are there any more human scale accommodations around here?

Re: [video]

[cec_engineer]

Not that I'm aware of. Consider living here like going back in time several hundred years.

[he raises his eyebrows] Including having to scavenge everything. Because this is a planet made for giant robots, not humans.

Fun!

[nobody_number_8]

[Oh hey, a name he's... sort of familiar with, even if he's never actually met his own universe's version of Cinderella.]

Hmm... somehow I doubt that you're the same Cinderella I've heard of back home. Though given what I've been told about there sometimes being multiple 'versions' of certain people around here, I wouldn't really be surprised if you were an alternate version of her. Or she of you, depending on how you look at it.

Anyway, the name's Axel. Got it memorized?

And while I'd normally be able to help you out with the whole world-hopping thing, my Dark Corridors don't seem to work here. So I'm afraid you're as stuck here as I am for the foreseeable future, unless someone else can help you out.

[glass_secret]

Oh really? I would like to think I'm unlike any Cinderella you've ever heard of.

Got the name. Not going to promise I'll have it memorized though, sweetie. I've had a lot on my mind as of late. But thanks for the info. At least knowing what doesn't work is a start.

[nobody_number_8]

Well, given your entrance, and the fact that the Cinderella I'm familiar with is significant because she has a heart of pure light, I'm gonna say that's a pretty safe bet.

[Amused smirk. He likes your attitude already, Cindy.]

Hmm... Well, I'll just have to make sure I'm memorable enough to make the cut, then, won't I? Though I'm sure we'll be seeing you around; it's not that big of a place, for all that it's made for giant robots.

And speaking of, if you're looking for accommodations that are more suited for humans, I recommend checking out the Hub's accommodation wing. The rooms are nothing fancy, but at least they have actual human style beds, which are definitely plus when compared to a giant slab of metal.

You got lucky with the glyhp, gold matches your hair. Mine clashes horribly with my paintjob. [Knock Out gesture to his arm.] Purple with a green outline, with my shade of red? [He makes a face.] Hideous.

I'm Knock Out. Glass slippers doesn't sound all that useful or comfortable.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

[Oh god that is a horrid color combination, and it shows in Cindy's expression.] Oh you poor thing! The purple by itself wouldn't be so bad, but that green! There's nothing you can do about it?

Surprisingly enough, the shoes weren't that uncomfortable.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

[Someone who understands ;;] You don't know how many times I tried to repaint it but now. It appeared these last weeks, it was only purple at first. I wonder why is that.

Interesting. I did not know that tales were real.

[raceme]

Hello madam. Some of ^{the residents} here are indeed looking for ways to leave this reality. Cur-re-n-tly most of those plans had been interrupted due to a giant Pillar showing up and some unexpected circumstances _{but they're still working on it.}

I think that's quite the nice tattoo. [He smiles, his own Vector glyph shinny and easy to see in his arm.]

video

[glass_secret]

Let me guess, if the tats look the same that means those two individuals showed up at the same Temple?

[She arches a brow some.]

Whats this about a pillar and unexpected circumstances?

video

[raceme]

Yes miss, that's it. I'm one of Vector's too, it's a pleasure to meet you MY name is B-l-u-r-r.

A huge pillar _{appeared a} few days ago after a storm. It's still here and it's having a bad influence ^{in the Haven's residents. It would be safer if you don't approach it.}

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

Y.....you don't look at all like the Cinderella I met.

[Or sound like her for that matter. Ventus hadn't gotten as much of a chance to speak to Cinderella as he did Jaq, but this one acted a lot differently, that much he was sure of.]

[Video]

[glass_secret]

Well, according to that Axel guy, there is a chance there is another version of me out there. Wouldn't surprise me if I was different from her.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I guess that's possible...

Well anyway, it's nice to meet you too. I'm Ventus- but you can call me Ven if you want. Have you been given the basics about the place already?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Miss Cinderella, for what it's worth, welcome to Haven. My name is Deckard, with the Haven Police. As others have stated, there's not currently a known way for any of us to return to our own worlds and realities, though I understand that there are those who are trying.

As for more human-sized accommodations, actually there are some. In the center of Haven is a place called the Hub, and part of it is the Habitation Wing, which has places for residents of all sizes, especially human.

[Video]

[glass_secret]

So there really is a police force around here... Tell me, is Chinchilla really a part of the force, or is he making that up to sound all big and bad? Might I add, he's horribly failing at the big and bad part.

So I've been told, but thanks for letting me know anyway, sweetie.

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Chinchilla? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know who that is.

But to answer your question, yes. It's still a relatively fledgling organization at present, but then, I understand this whole place has only been here for a couple years, if that. We are doing our best, though.

And ah, I must have missed that comm reply. That's good, though. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm relatively new myself – I've been here for about a month now – but I'll do my best.

NOT HERE
