::Natalia opens her eyes to have a look at the surroundings. This isn't quite what she had expected from the Calm Lands. This place is a zoo! She'll have to remember not to take things too literally from now on. She turns her attention to the trio. Rainii is beginning to stir::
Rise & shine Beautiful. ::giggles cutely::

(Who, in the name of all that is good on this earth, is that? Oh dear lord, the giggling...and the sun, and it's brightness.....)
::Rainii still has her eyes closed. She has no idea where she is, or that it is Natalia that is calling her 'beautiful'. She can't even think straight.::
"You know....flattering me will not make me wake up any faster, whoever you are. Perhaps, if you could manage to blot out the sun, I would respond more enthusiastically."

::Stands in front of her, blocking the sunlight from her eyes::
You gave me quite a scare there kid. You got knocked out when Zhad attacked you, but you're safe now. In the so-called Calm Lands.

::Her eyes refuse to open, so she leaves them closed. The breeze plays with her hair, and she thinks it feels nice here, calm even....-- Until a chocobo runs right next to her head.Rainii throws herself forward, now fairly alert. And then she realizes what Natalia had said--they weren't in the Thunder Plains anymore::
"How did we get here?Where's Infinity?Drake? Dragon Man?"
::Thinks a minute, and a panicky feeling comes over her as she remembers what happened.::
"Crohan's dragon?Oh--my--god, I've lost his Dragon GF!!"
::Rainii then begins to feel the wound on her leg again, and looks to see that it's in the same state it was when they were in the Thunder Plains. She decides to ignore it for now, and heal it when she feels she has the strength to.::
"Let me back up for a second and start from the beginning: Calm Lands--how?"

::Looks at the floor::
Well... I warped us out. I haven't been completely honest with you. I'm a sorceress. My mother was too. We came from a long line. When we came to this world, we didn't realize how much they were hated here. (OOC: yeah, this is her fake background) That's why we were attacked.

::Rainii stares at Natalia for a long while. There was just something about her that made her uneasy, that she just couldn't let go of...and then she realized what it was, and felt stupid it had taken her so long to figure it out.She smiles sweetly at Natalia.::
"You're lying, aren't you? I mean, not about the sorceress thing, but you are lying. I can see it now, clear as day, where I couldn't before."
::And even as she sits there, smiling and wounded, Rainii is intimidating, and that even surprises Natalia.::

Maybe I've underestimated the girl.
::smiles sweetly right back, but when she speaks her voice has dropped to a lower, more mature, and somehow more sinister voice::
What gave me away?

"Everything did, at least, to me. Your story,your look...but most of all it was you yourself that gave you away. Because while you could dress different and tell me some story you made up,you can't ever hide who you really are,not to me. Even when you were unconcious, in that cave, I could tell something was off. And now i've outed you, and I want the truth. Who are you, Natalia? Why are you here?"
::Rainii realizes that what she is doing is potentially dangerous, and isn't quite sure how she got the nerve to do it. She isn't afraid,though and she is very aware of Natalia's movements and their immediate surroundings. ::

:A bright light blinds him. Infinity aches all over while slowly raising his arm. He blocks the light...the sun:
(What the hell happened and where are we..)
:Infinity slowly sits up and looks around:
(That definately did not go as well as planned..)

:Infinity grabs his massive hand and pulls up:
"Great...so he is a little stronger than I had expected. I'll give you that, but now we have a bigger problem with Loci poking his huge nose in this problem."
(OOC- Alright, will be posting rather slow over the course of the next week. Try not to move too quickly. Also you guys can come find us if you want.)

::Natalia smiles good naturedly at the pair of them, and turns her attention back to Rainii::
Before I tell, you everything, I need to find out what you already know. Fair?
(OOC: I'll be kind of busy too. So I wouldn't mind slowing down either)

(OOC--Fixed!Yay me.)
"Fair. I know that you aren't from this world, and that you're a sorceress. I also know that the story about you coming here with your mother is a load of crap. I'm sure I'm missing something...anyways, now it's your turn. I'm listening."

Alright long story short, I'm an inter-dimensional demon princess incarnated into an elven body. I am one day destined to unleash an un-speakable evil upon my world etc. etc. so on and so forth. So I decided to gather power from other worlds to help me further my goals. That's when I stumbled on this one. A certain sorceress here was once capable of doing something quite interesting.

::Rainii no longer looks angry at Natalia. She trusts her more now, and is able to relax a little more. The wound in her leg begins to hurt worse now, and Rainii knows shes left it for too long. While talking to Natalia, Rainii places a hand on the wound, wincing the whole time, and is able to heal most of it.::
"See, I find that story to be much, much more satisfying.Personally, I like you better now. So, this sorceress...it's Ultimecia, isn't it? It seems to always be her...Anyways,her power was time compression. You want to know how to do it,am I right?"

Oh good, you already know. That means I don't have to waste time filling you in.
::Natalia leans back on her arms and a grin comes to her face. One of those nasty grins she likes to give, like she knows all your dirty little secrets::
You know, you seem an awful lot more open to the idea. Your friend Crohan was a little... difficult.
::Rainii gives a start at the mention of that name, and Natalia knows she's struck a nerve. She grins wider::

::As hard as she tried not to let Natalia see that the mere mention of Crohan's name made her go all funny, she happened to anyway. Rainii felt as though she had let Natalia in on something secret and private, and she felt vunerable, and she hated it.::
"How did you know him?How well did you know him?Why was he difficult--about the sorceress thing? He shouldn't have been, considering--"
::And she stops in mid sentence, full well knowing that she had fallen right into some sort of set up.::

Oh my, aren't we testy. You mean he never told you about me?
::Natalia gets very close to Rainii's face, letting each word drop from her mouth like distilled poison::
We go way back he & I. It wasn't so much the sorceress thing, so much as the whole evil part. He thought I was too dangerous to use time compression. But he eventually saw things my way. He never told me you were a sorceress though. He must have been worried I'd take an interest in you.
::Rainii is caught off-gaurd as Natalia vanishes to re-appear behind Rainii. She puts a soothing hand on her shoulder, getting really close to Rainii's ear. Rainii can feel those malignant purple eyes peering into her every thought::
I can feel your pain for his loss. You can see him again you know. I can make that possible.
::Natalia carresses Rainii's hair::
All I'd need is the help of a talented and promising young sorceress like yourself. What do you say?

::The idea was so tempting, she almost said yes immediately. She had to force herself to stop and think. Could she trust her?::
"How did you get him to see things your way, exactly? And how do I know that I can trust you?"
::Her voice drops to barley a whisper.::
"And how do I know that it'd work?"
