castle_perrault...Hmm.
[There is a girl sitting in the middle of the courtyard. As with most newcomers, she seems quite bewildered, though perhaps she's a bit slower on the uptake than some are. For several minutes, she just sits there flexing her fingers and turning her hands this way and that, making more humming sounds under her breath. When she seems to have figured that much out, she moves on to patting herself down, her hands carefully running over her legs, hips, each arm, her chest... she reaches a finger up to one eyeball and tries to poke it, only to recoil, blinking away tears.]
Ow.
[Once she recovers from that little mishap, she finally seems to notice her surroundings. The environment seems much more concerning to her, and she gets on her knees, frowning. It takes quite a few more minutes of searching the area before she seems to deem that the danger isn't immediate, and she cautiously gets to her feet.
...Only to fall back over. She makes a little squeak of surprise, before trying again, clinging to the trunk of a nearby tree to steady her. Bit by bit, she inches to her feet and then pushes off of the trunk, pinwheeling her arms slightly as her legs wobble. She steadies, and her shaking stops. For a long moment, all is quiet. And then she giggles.
She may still stumble a few times as she makes her way to the castle and down the hallways, but every time, she just gets back up again. No sense just giving up. She's beaten Contra, so she should be able to beat this.
If she runs into anyone, she may just stare at them for a long time, blinking slowly as if trying to analyze the whole situation. And then just when that someone may think she's completely mute, she offers a small smile.]
...Hello. My name is Chiaki Nanami. And you are?

[None of which you'll have to do here. Somehow I've gotten us very off topic... What was I telling you again?]

“It’s fine. I can get distracted too. But you were telling me more about this place. You told me how many people were summoned here for purposes unknown, so maybe you should tell me what there is to do here.”

[Some of the rooms may be unsettling, but none of them seem dangerous. There are art supplies here and there, a library, a room of musical instruments, a lake underground...]

[No, not at all. It's unpleasantly low-tech, compared to what you and I seem to be used to. We don't even have electric lights.]
