[Here's a new face. A dead-serious, possibly even angry (or maybe that's just the eyebrows) face.

Fakir doesn't waste time. He holds a picture of a duck up in front of the Omni, taking up the whole screen. It looks...well it doesn't look entirely unlike this duck. Still holding the picture up, he starts to talk.]

If you find this duck in one of the traps around, do not eat it. Bring her to me to look after. I think she followed me from my world - I recognize her from there.

[100% foolproof cover story! Definitely impossible for anyone to poke holes in, given that people may have seen the duck last month and he's only turned up now.

He takes the picture down.]

Thank you.

[ oh . . . you're you. allen had said that too. she wasn't quite sure how to take that to heart, but it settles her a little, calming the nameless fear in her heart that her time as a girl was short. ]

You think so?

[anagnorises]

You're too stubborn not to.

That's true, I don't really know when to give up, ehehe . . .

[ but, in a softer voice, to show that she's grateful. she's so glad he's here. with fakir, everything just seems . . . easier ]

Thank you, Fakir. I know it's hard being here but I'm glad you're with me.

A-anyway. Do you know if snow melting on you has the same effect as water?

[danserai]

[ this is normal, so she rolls with it. ]

I've never tried it. Usually any water will do.

[anagnorises]

You should probably test that somewhere safe. Before something happens while you're caught out in the snow.

[danserai]

Mm, don't worry, I'll be careful.

[ as . . . careful as she can be. ]

[anagnorises]

[Presses "x" to doubt.]

You need to be prepared.

[danserai]

But Fakir, what else can I do?

[anagnorises]

[That is in fact a fair question, but.]

...Store warm clothes in places around town?

[danserai]

What if people found them?! They'll think I'm weird!

[ she IS weird but still!! ]

[anagnorises]

[But you ARE weird.]

They won't know they're your clothes just by looking at them.

[danserai]

They could find out . . .
