Summary: Daenerys is exploring the grounds! Come hang out with a Queen.
Warnings: None yet

Fortitude Library
Daenerys walks slowly around the room, letting her fingertips brush lightly against the spines of the neatly lined up books. It has been too long since she last saw a library of this size, not that she has anything against how the Dothraki live. There is something nice about the civility of a library though. She takes out a book, one at random, and flips through the pages, it was in the common tongue. But something startles her and she drops the book.

"Oh!" she looks at the book, "Am I not allowed to be in here?"

Lake
The water is calming, she thinks as she sits on the dock with her toes in the water. She can't help but think of home, of whether the Dothraki would cross this water or what they would think of this place. She chuckles to herself a bit, they would not like it here. This place is like nothing she has ever seen before, the technology is amazing and baffling all at once.

It's cold, both the air and the water, but Daenerys isn't bothered by that (which is only partly true, she is used to the warm weather but the cold is a new experience that she enjoys), but she decides to go swimming nonetheless. Join and/or scold her?

Fortitude Computer room
She's amazed. This technology, what is it? How is it used? It's like nothing she's ever seen before or even imagined. Daenerys sits in front of a computer, poking at the screen. It doesn't do anything. She looks at the mouse and keyboard and takes a moment to shake the mouse, waking up the screen. This shocks her, she looks around for someone to share her surprise with.

"What is this magical box!"

[ Dahlia has come by to type something up for one of her classes, and pauses when she notices an unfamiliar woman acting like an idiot child near one of the computers. ]

It's a computer, madam.

[It's a good thing Dahlia didn't call her an idiot child out loud. Does she even know who Daenerys is? She's a Khaleesi dammit, a Queen. Also dragons. She has them. Sort of.]

A computer? What is that? Explain.

[ Oh, Dahlia would never. She's all sweetness and bubbles! ]

It's a machine, madam, that people use for correspondence and entertainment. They're quite common...

[oh yeah, she's the epitome of politeness]

[she still looks confused]

Machine used for correspondence and entertainment? I don't understand. [she looks at the computer] Can you show me?

...I suppose...

[ She approaches the computer, and gestures toward the screen. ] This is the monitor. It's what you use to see what the computer is doing. These little pictures on the screen are called icons, and they represent different programs.

[Yeah, she doesn't understand any of that]

I'm sorry? Programs? What do they do?

They're the things the computer can do. For example, this one lets you connect to the Exaclan network and talk to people. And this is a word processor, which lets you write things -- messages or stories or essays, whatever you would use it for.

[she looks quickly between Dahlia and the computer]

You can actually talk to people through this box? Or write to someone? How is that possible. [she looks at the keyboard] These letters. Is this how?

That's right! If you press a key with a letter or number on it, it will make that same symbol appear on the screen. [ She says it as though she's talking to a child. ] It's simple once you've got the hang of it.

[she gives her a look]

Do not chide me, I am not a child. [she turns to the keyboard, looking at it with fierce determination and spells out her name, saying it aloud as she does] D-A-E-N-E-R-Y-S [she looks at the screen] It actually appeared.

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean... [ She blushes, drawing back. ]

Day-nerris? What a beautiful name.

Forgive me, I did not mean to raise my voice. I have been spoken down to far too often in my lifetime and I will have it no longer.

It's pronounced duh-nair-us, I should have introduced myself earlier. And you are?

I-I won't do it again... I'm sorry. [ Gawd. ]

Oh! My name is Dahlia. I'm very sorry for my impoliteness.

Dahlia is a beautiful name as well. Where are you from, Dahlia? How do you know about these... computers?

Thank you very much! I'm from California. Computers are very common there. We use them all the time at my school.

[Daenerys shakes her head] I have never heard of such a place or seen such technology. This is well beyond anything made back home.

How fascinating... I hear that people are brought to this city from different universes, but I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

[SHOCK]

Different universes? What type of magic accomplished such a feat?

Nobody quite knows... Whether magic or technology, it's nothing I've ever seen, either.

Meaning there is an even greater force behind this. Do we know the source?

No, we don't... Whoever is responsible hasn't said a word.

Then we must search and find them.

Nanashi hadn't done much exploring really, between trying to get his head round the system and sitting silently at Kotaro's bed side willing the kid to wake up, he hadn't had much time for much else.

He had told the medical staff about Kotaro's seizures, but they had reassured him that this was different. They wouldn't tell him what was wrong though.

Damn kid, Nanashi's life had been so much simpler before he had met him. He picked up a book of the shelf frowning as the words swam in front of his eyes. At the voice he looked up, but said nothing, he hadn't been able to read even the rule book so if there were rules restricting the use of the library, he did not know them.

Daenerys stood waiting for an answer from the male stranger, but none came. She waited a few moments longer but when still no answer came, she repeated the question in the Dothraki language. Again still, no answer, "I do not know any other language in which to ask my question. Do you not understand me?" she asks even though if he didn't understand her he couldn't answer her question.

Nanashi blinked and looked towards her, he hadn't realised she was talking to him specifically.

"I understood." He said, "I do not know any of the rules here though."

Oh. So he was just as new and lost as she was. Well that's helpful!

"I see, I am new here as well and have yet to get myself acquainted with the rules. Where are you from, ser?"

Nanashi nodded, acknowledging that she had spoken and answered her question quietly. "Japan."

She shakes her head, "That is not a place I am familiar with."

[Nanashi raises an eyebrow but nods.] Where do you call home?

My birthplace is an island called Dragonstone. I call no city my home.

[He had never heard of such a place of Dragonstone, but he nodded, like her he didn't consider any city home...

Why was that? He knew he was a wanderer but he must have started somewhere. Thinking back though just gave him a headache. He frowned.] I guess it makes no difference, since you are here now.

I will not call this place my home either, this is merely a place where I have stopped, or have been taken to, and I plan on continuing on.

Of course. [He nods] There must be a way out of here. [But he wasn't going without Kotarou.]

Can we not leave the way we arrived?

[He blinked. He had just assumed they could not...]

I thought if that was an option the others would have left by now...

Perhaps they have just not found the correct way yet, if there is an entrance there must be an exit.

You would think so.

Then we must find it.

[He nods.] Finding it must be our first priority.

Where would we even begin to look?

I am not sure. I suppose our headmistress is not answering questions...

Reimi had discovered the lake while looking at the nap, and, being normally a Grass type, decided water and sun would be lovely, and might perk her up a little. The cold bit a little more than she would like, but despite not needing to sun for nutrition, she found her mood dropping when she didn't go outside. So outside she went.

When Daenerys comes up, she'll see a young lady sunning on the grass in a sundress. That looks a bit cold...

The water is freezing but she doesn't mind. It brings her back to an intimate moment between her and her husband, Khal Drogo, and that's enough to keep the cold at bay. After a while you even get used to it.

As she breaks the surface and shakes some water out of her hair she notices the other girl, "Are you not cold?" she calls out to her.
