The girl doesn't seem inclined to stop moving, continuing to wander the stacks, but she's doing so fairly slowly, so Rescue will be able to intersect with her path.

She's probably closer to thirteen than fourteen, in a faded and dusty orange dress, wavy black hair loose. She has a stubborn set to her jaw.

She still has her phrases set up from yesterday, conveniently. "Hey."

Permalink

The girl spins around, clearly surprised. "Ah! Hello!"

Permalink

She stopped a little ways back; she's not close enough for her presence to be alarming.

She taps at her phone, and it speaks again when she finishes: "I'm a cape. I have super hearing. I can guide you, if you want."

Permalink

"What's a cape?"

Permalink

 

"Like a superhero."

Permalink

"What's a superhero?"

"Sometimes people where I'm from get special abilities when bad things happen to them."

"That happened to me, and I got super hearing."

"People with special abilities are called capes."

"Most of them are good guys or bad guys. The good guys are superheroes and the bad guys are supervillains. The rest are rogues."

Permalink

"Huh. I'm used to special abilities being just magic, and caused by all sorts of stuff. Are you from Fairyland, then, or somewhere else?"

Permalink

"Else," she speaks.

Permalink

"Neat! Though do you know if this is Fairyland? I'd been assuming it was the Grand Library in Pandemonium, since it's so large and it's not Earth and I saw a fairy before coming here..."

Permalink

She squints a bit at this and taps at her phone some more.

"I don't know."

"I'm from Earth."

"I guess this is some other place. There are people who live here. I think they're human but you don't sound different."

Permalink

"Earth didn't have superheroes... Though I know Fairyland sometimes does time and place weirdly. I guess this could too." She makes a face. "If this isn't Fairyland, Ell and Saturday probably aren't here..."

Permalink

Tap tap tap tap tap "I haven't found a way to get back but I've only been here for a few days."

Permalink

"In Fairyland I just got pulled back on my own after it'd been enough time. But I think it's a different amount of time each time I go..."

Permalink

"Then maybe that will happen here." "They make food here by reading about it, you'll need someone to read to you if you need to eat."

Permalink

"Huh. And there's people nearby? You said humans?"

Permalink

"Yes." She points up and a little to the side.

"Are fairies dangerous to humans?"

Permalink

"Like how any people are, I guess? Some are hard to understand, though, and that can make them worse."

Permalink

She nods. "Okay. I'll show you the towns if you want."

Permalink

"Thanks. I might stop in and out of those. Do you know if there's anything to do here other than read?"

Permalink

"There's weird stuff below us but I haven't gone to look at it. It's all library other than that."

Permalink

"Huh. At least sounds like there isn't an evil Marquess to fight or anything..."

Permalink

"I haven't heard of anything like that." She starts walking, heading for a sitting area.

Permalink

She follows. "That's good. I was hoping to not have any adventures, this time in Fairyland, though I guess I'm not actually in Fairyland anyways..."
