Quest 183

[Video Post]

[The video opens on Rosella's face, nearly filling the screen; it appears that she is holding the device at arm's length to make the recording, since it shakes every so often. Her hair is a mess, windswept and unkempt, and she is breathing hard, glancing from side to side every few seconds. As the camera continues to wobble, glimpses of her surroundings begin to come into view--the lush green of the forest, and the ends of a snowy white mane flickering in the wind.]

Oh, I hope this is--that it's working the way it ought to.

[She turns her eyes back to the camera.]

I haven't--had the time to check the Network today, I've been a bit--a bit preoccupied, but. Does anyone know--has there been some sort of escape from the Zoo?

[Something rustles through the brush and trees behind her, and her attention instantly goes in that direction; she is obviously on high alert.]

It's just--there's a lion, and--oh!

[A sharp whinny pierces the air, and the camera angle suddenly shifts as Rosella abandons the recording to grasp at the white mane in front of her; with the camera now turned in such a fashion, her mount's identity is revealed to be a unicorn. The video tilts as it rears back onto its hind legs, and then suddenly they are running once again. Behind them echoes the sound of a low, feline snarl.]

Oh, not again!

[And the video switches off.]


[OOC: "The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown..." Except that the crown, in this case, happens to be Rosella herself. She's currently been abducted by the unicorn, since I couldn't resist the reference to the misleadingly dramatic box art of King's Quest IV, and they've been getting chased all over the City by the lion for the better part of the day. ]
