Luministi

[Fuu's CAT turns on spontaneously late at night.]

[Still tired from the poison ordeal, she is tossing and turning in her bed, sleeping lightly yet dreaming. The incessant ringing of the phone she's been hearing doesn't help her rest any.]

[One may hear some whispered murmurs from her:]


Big sis... Thank-

mmm not alone. mmm okay, 'kay. Don't worry.

Just... answer the 'hone.

[Fuu is walking to the park for archery practice (thusly attired and armed) when the message arrives. And she's rather delighted by it.]

Aliens! How amazing!

[Having made it only as far as the south-west corner of the library, she looks over to find that the Poseidon statue is gone.]

... Something is seriously up with that statue. First it was moving around in the weird-weather lighting, and now this.

[Suddenly she thinks of Raivis. Concerned that Miss Verita's message might have frightened the boy, she activates her CAT. After a moment of consideration, she decides to make the transmission open to all.]

Well, I'm not so sure about the sky falling [Fuu pauses and tilts the CAT up, showing a perfectly fine sky], but something strange is happening again.
Raivis, are you okay? Stay inside, alright? I'm going to have a look around-- oh! [As she had glanced up to suit actions to words, she notices the large Kirin-like statue from the greenhouse. Now across the street from her by the theatre.]

How did you get there...?

[A video message on the CAT, filtered to the Tenth Doctor. June 25, 9am]

[Fuu is obviously trying to not look too excited, but the eyes give her away.]
Doctor, something very interesting has come to my attention, and I'd like to meet with you in person, if I may.

[Her eyes get more serious when she mentions meeting 'in person'...]

[Immediately after this conversation with Miss Verita.]



[Leaving the town square Fuu starts walking her bike the short distance to the Sheriff's Office.]

[Figuring out the clue had been easy, but it seemed that figuring out the mystery of why she was here - and where 'here' was anyway - would be much harder.]

[She reads the slip of paper with the riddle again:]

If anywhere around here there's ever any trouble
You can bet I'll be there on the double
And here you can talk to me--ease the troubles on your mind
Just don't take any notice of the jeering from behind

[...She cannot understand how Miss Verita could read it as it is written in Japanese, or -- how Fuu herself could understand it if it's written in another language. Miss Verita had said that there was no Japanese. However, she might have misunderstood Fuu's question.]

[With a sigh she propps her bike against the horse hitching post outside the office. Perhaps the matter of language was not as important as other things right now, but it certainly was strange.]

[And speaking of strange, it was one thing to look at the places in town on the CAT, and quite another to see them in person. 'Eclectic' was an understatement for the design of this town. From here she could see the very cowboy-western Sherriff's Office, the traditional-looking town hall all in red brick, the edge of the shopping district with it's odd assortment of shops, and the amazingly sleek-looking library. She couldn't wait to go there, but other things came first.]

[Walking up the steps she pushes open the door and calls out softly,]

Pardon me?
