[Orb post, 3rd day]

[The picture should be an amusing one; a young man tripping over the long ball gown he's for some reason wearing, dainty tiara barely hanging in his hair. The amusement is dampened by the faint red staining one sleeve and the worried expression on his face.]

Kisa? Dende? D-dean? Are any of you here? Are you okay?

[He gulps]

Please, has as anyone seen a little girl?

I'm Momiji. [Also a princess.] From Japan and recently, Cydonia.

[tatra]

I have friends from Japan. It seems to be a place full of kind people.

[whatmuttiforgot]

It's the same as anywhere, I think. There's a lot of nice people from other places, too.

[tatra]

I think I would like to visit Earth some day. My country is very small! It's such a pleasure to meet so many people from different places.

[whatmuttiforgot]

You're not from Earth? [The country name should have tipped him off, but who actually pays attention in geography class?]

[tatra]

Oh no, nowhere near Earth at all! Not even very near Cephiro, in fact.

[whatmuttiforgot]

Are you an alien? [This is the only frame of reference he has for non-Earthlings.]

[tatra]

What's an 'alien'?

[ In a world with so many planets, there isn't such a concept. ]

[whatmuttiforgot]

Someone from another planet that's not Earth.

[tatra]

Then I suppose I am!

[whatmuttiforgot]

You don't look anything like the alien's I've met.

[tatra]

No? What do the aliens you've met look like?

[whatmuttiforgot]

Little and green with antennae and pointy ears. They kind of remind me of frogs.

[tatra]

Little frog people?

... [ She thinks about this for a moment... ]

How cute!

[whatmuttiforgot]

[He cracks a smile.]

Yeah, he was pretty cute.
