[Two Brigitta posts in a row, what on earth could be wrong?

Well, many things in Brigitta's world, as is evident from her first fumbling step onto the Plane with her sword clutched in her hand, instead of her usual stride she just gapes for a few moments before letting out a extremely loud yelp that almost break into scream territory and half collapsing to the ground, still clinging onto her sword.

She pauses for a moment, staring around her with terrified eyes and then gulps] First back there with that man and now here, Stately Hera, glorious queen of fair Olympos please hear me, please...

[She takes a deep breath and then curls up, resting her chin on her knees and her sword in front of her, she's almost crying] I want to go home, my wedding is in a month, I can't miss it.

[OOC: Experiment start! For a week or so Brigitta will be back to her state of mind at fifteen years old, which means that she won't recognise anybody and will probably be terrified by a fair amount... She'll still stab you though, have fun! :D]

Oh, Athena, I was going to pray to her next, perhaps then I'll know what's going on.

No, no, I've never been here or anywhere like here before... Such an odd name, is it in Hades? I-I have no money.

[lamb_of_gold]

Given that this place is what it is, I doubt even the gods of Olympus could help, even if they knew.

Don't worry. You're very much alive. Hades has no hold on this place. [If Brigitta is really observant, Mu's tone may have seemed a bit tighter there]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay then, I... Okay.

[She lowers her chin back to her knees for a few moments and then glances back up at Mu] That's almost worse, at least if this place was Hades it'd explain how odd everything is but... [Pause] I don't know where I am, or where I was a few minutes ago, I don't even know how I'm speaking this language, I don't know anything.

[He crouches to her level, and switches to Greek, if only to comfort her, since the Plane comes equipped with a universal translator.]

I still don't know many things about this place, regardless of how much time I spend here. [He says with a small smile]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[She finally smiles, it's shaky but it's definitely still there, she sense that the Greek that he's using is a very tiny bit different from what she remembers but the gesture is nice]

I... I was in Greece, now I don't know where I am, it's nice there but it's scary, and I don't know where my siblings are, or my parents [She sniffs and wipes at her eyes] 'M sorry.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Well it's probably a few thousand years newer, and an Athenian dialect, but what the hell.]

You're in a place between worlds. No god holds sway here - not Hera, nor Athena nor Hades, so you needn't worry about them. Your parents and your siblings are at home, which you may return to with a thought. [He smiles more, putting a hand on her shoulder.] It's easy to be overwhelmed.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Okay, so near completely different, but some bits are still recognisable! A very few bits, but ah well]

N-No, even back in the real world I don't know where they are, I was in Greece, But now... Now I don't know where I am, and there are strange things everywhere.

[lamb_of_gold]

What happened?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I just woke up there... It was odd.

[lamb_of_gold]

Can you describe it?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

There was this big metal tower, and this strange clear stuff in the windows... And down on the ground these strange things that were all shiny were moving around.

[lamb_of_gold]

The windows are Glass.

Do you have any recollection prior to your waking up there?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Odd name for that sort of thing.

I... I think I was just in the castle, I'm usually in the castle.

[lamb_of_gold]

Usually?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wouldn't be good for a future queen to be running around the countryside all the time after all.

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah. Forgive me.

So you simply blinked and you were in the tower? Or did something happen?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I wasn't in the tower, I was sort of near to it in this tall building... I dunno, I just woke up there, I think I just went to sleep the night before in the castle.

[lamb_of_gold]

I see. It sounds as though you were kidnapped. Perhaps as some sort of leverage against your husband to be.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I... I can see that happening, perhaps, he has a few enemies.

[lamb_of_gold]

If that's the case, and assuming he does indeed care for you, then your life is likely safe.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Of course he cares for me, he has to... Can you usually escape in these situations?

[lamb_of_gold]

It would depend on your prowess as a warrior. If he cares, then it's likely he will do everything he can to get you back. So you should not have to.

[he eyes her sword] Though should you have to, I don't think it would be much a problem.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I'm sure my parents will inform him, eventually, then they'll be sorry.

[She glances down at it and smiles properly, a faint light coming to her eyes] probably not, if the situation calls for fighting I can manage it.

[lamb_of_gold]

If you are, indeed from where your language suggests, then I applaud a woman as empowered as you.

[Blush] I'm not supposed to know so much, please don't tell anybody, I'm meant to be quitting.
