Quest 213

[Voice Post]

[The audio comes on with a fumbled click, and a moment later a child's voice speaks, slightly muffled due to the fact that she's holding the microphone a little too close to her face. However, despite this faint distortion, her voice is clear and authoritative--or at least, it gives the impression that she's trying very hard to sound that way.]

'Scuse me. Um, I know there are lots of people in this magic box, and I think maybe my knight is in here too, so could somebody tell me where he is, please? I really need to find him 'cause I think he's supposed to be watching me, so if somebody could help me, please, you would have my eternal gra--graturtude.

[A brief pause.]

Or if you don't know where he is, could you tell me how to find the castle? That's where my daddy always goes when we visit here, 'cause he has to talk to the king about matters of state. But I don't ever get to go so I don't know where the castle is. I think it would have a moat because our castle does, too, and maybe alligators.

[And now there is a long pause, long enough that a listener might think that the speaker has forgotten to switch off her device, but it turns out that it is merely Rosella waiting to see if her magic box will answer her. When no reply immediately comes, she makes a faint whine of frustration, then quickly composes herself and resumes speaking.]

Well, I'm going to go look for the castle, so if you change your mind, can you please tell me? Please? I really need to find my mother and daddy.

[Another pause.]

It's really important.

[There are another few seconds of silence, and then a rustle of fingers and fabric near the microphone, and with a click, the recording shuts off.]


[OOC: Yup, Tiny!sella is back, back again. And she has some vague memories of the last few times she was turned into a child, so she's a little more confident about where she is (and a little less willing to admit that she's lost). She's setting out to explore the City and attempt to find the nonexistent castle, so all responses assumed voice, and feel free to action if you want it.]

That it belonged to a wizard? 'Cause bookshelves mean books, and I don't think anybody could have that many books except a wizard.

It was a very generous wizard. He let everybody who wanted come in and read his books for free.

Wooooooooooow. I never heard of a wizard doing that before! Usually they just stay all by themselves and keep secrets and never let anybody see anything.

We have more caring, sharing wizards here. Or we had until the dragon burnt up all their books.

Mean old dragon. I hope somebody threw water on his snout for burning up the poor wizard's books.

He must have done something mean for the dragon to act like that, don't you think? Can you see the fountain behind you, Rosella?

Maybe. But there are such things as good wizards, sometimes, and there aren't such things as good dragons. Just bad ones.

Ummm. Yes! I see the water.
