[The video feed opens on centered on Anna. She's not as perky as usual, expression a bit demure. There's a small wave before she starts speaking.]

Hello everyone. So it would appear that someone who was here from my homeland has gone missing. Hans? I've seen some people talking about this happening to people they knew too? After doing my best research, I realized I have no idea what happens when people disappear.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone has a more definitive idea of where they go.

Do they return home? When they do, will they remember everything that happened here? Are those of us still here just not there?

[Anna takes a deep breath. She's about to fire off more questions but thinks better of it. For now.]

If anyone has answers, I'd appreciate the information. ...And will probably have more questions for you.

[She is just about to turn off the feed but pauses.] Oh! And thank you, in advance. [Can't forget polite manners, stress or no.]

This has happened to me before, ma'am. I was returned home with no memory of this world, and it was as if no time had passed.

Re: Permavid

[willthaw]

When you came back, did you remember it all? I mean remember being here before and also whatever happened back home too?

Did you have powers the second time around?

[Hey, something she actually knows about!]

When people go home, they're brought back to the moment they left from. Apparently it'll be like nothing even happened at all. But if that Hans guy comes back, he'll probably have to catch up on stuff, since everything keeps on going over here.

Permavid

[willthaw]

Oh, really? I guess that makes sense. Do we know how they go home? Or, I guess, why? Whichever is the right way of asking. So many people want to go home but apparently it's not a choice we've been provided. Well, as far as I know.

[No breaths taken. Anna practically invented babbling.]

[sniptuck]

Hm, I'm not sure either.

Oh, and sorry about your friend leaving.

Permavid

[willthaw]

It's okay, I'm just hoping someone might know. A few have been here for something like half a year?

Thanks for the kind sentiment. [Anna isn't really unhappy Hans is gone, though what he's doing to ruin her kingdom back home isn't great either.] Gosh, I just feel like there's some new, incredibly complicated thing to get my head around every time I think I've got it down.

Hans is missing? [Minako hadn't heard from him in a bit, she had been worried and now someone saying he may have gone home.]

I haven't heard from him a bit, hopefully he's gone back home to be with his family and everyone he loves.

Permavid

[willthaw]

[Anna blinks on screen. Minako reminds her of herself before the Arendelle coronation day. Enthusiastic, hopeful. ...Painfully naive.]

Well you sure are the type of person Hans' seems to prefer. [She doesn't say this with malice, more a muted amusement. Even in a completely different world, he clearly put that fake persona.] And... yes. For the most part.

[Or you know, he's gone back home to murder her, her sister, and claim their kingdom for himself. NBD.]

[youbastard]

[Ellie's curious if this is the fiance Hans had talked about or the woman that froze everything. Spoiler: Hans gave her a very unique version of things.]

From what I've heard people just go back to the exact moment they were taken from like none of this ever happened. [Which could be a good or bad thing, depending on what they were going back to.] I'm sorry to hear about Hans.

Permavid

[willthaw]

[There are so many ways that hearing his version could go. Most of them aren't so great.]

That's what I'm hearing too. I was hoping when people leave, it meant maybe there was a way to eventually use it to get us home by choice.

...Thank you for the kind words.

[Buuut not thank you for missing him. Because Anna sure doesn't.]

The [ girl made of fire?? what ] girl above is right. Your friend has likely been sent back home. Sometimes it's only temporary, but after a couple of weeks it seems far less likely.

[ He pauses. ]

I'm sorry about your friend.

Permavid

[willthaw]

There's a temporary time we could end up home? [This is news to her.] I suppose it's not something we can choose though, huh?

[And then Anna puts on that grateful look again. She isn't about to advertise the bad side of Hans and her own foolish decisions. Still, it would be untoward for her to act anything other than grateful in public. Princesses worry about etiquette, even if their kingdom is a universe away.]

Thank you for the thought. Everyone has been very kind about it.

[gevurah]

So you're Anna.

Permavid

[willthaw]

Yep, that's me! [A little wave is offered at the screen.] Well, more or less. I didn't have the whole powers thing going on back home so I guess I'm me with a dash extra these days.

I'm afraid that while you know me, I know nothing of you?

[ Castiel stands on a rooftop, looking contemplative. ]

A friend of mine vanished a while ago. He reappeared recently, years younger, without memories of this place.

Permavid

[willthaw]

Wait, what? I don't understand How did he get younger???

[Anna might have asked about the rooftop, had she not completely gotten lost on what Castiel said.]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay!)

voice;

[aggressiveapathy]

He won't remember. At all. Like none of this ever existed.

[She does not sound impressed with this fact.]

Permavid

[willthaw]

[Anna is still mulling over that when she records her response.]

Really? Wow. I don't know what to think. We could make connections here and find friends. People might grow close, even fall in love. ...And that's how it all comes out at the end?

[It just seems so sad to consider.]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay!)

voice;

[reptiledysfunction]

I've heard about what happened in that other place, but not here. [ 'that other place' meaning the City. ] I wish I had an actual answer for you.

Permavid

[willthaw]

Things that happened somewhere else? Somewhere in this world? What kind of things?

[She'd be grateful for the sentiment of wishing but Anna is far too caught up in babbling out question after question.]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay!)

[abadidea]

[If the tone in his voice is any indication, Isaac hasn't actually thought about this until now.]

I...really don't know. Would it be bad if he went home?

Permavid

[willthaw]

Well, I mean no. I guess there's a chance we'd all have the chance to return home so it can't be bad. Some left behind families and responsibilities. [And some people left behind kingdoms that were recently turned into a frozen wasteland.] Mostly, I guess I just wanted to understand what it means and how it works.

[Anna is overly diplomatic in not really answering the Hans questions directly.]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay!)

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Testimonial suggests that indeed, it is home where his heart is now. Along with the rest of him.

Presumably.

Permavid

[willthaw]

[Anna really wants to say that Hans had no heart to have be home or anywhere else. Still, that kind of thing is bad form for a princess and she just manages to resist.]

That does seem to be the general consensus. I wish someone knew how we're sent back. Does the government here do it?

[Video]

[celestialpervert]

I don't have any answers, dear Anna, but I can offer you condolences and company.

Permavid

[willthaw]

[Balthazar's voice and kind words do manage to cheer her up just a bit and she's got a small smile on.]

The condolences are appreciated but I think the company will be what I take you up on. Maybe we can do something? Supposedly they have these things called theaters? Someone told me I might like that because they're plays but on giant TVs. [It doesn't occur to Anna that he probably knows what movies are.] Or something else. I don't know, the things people to for distraction and fun in this world are so different from back home.

Oh, or we could go to a mall! Someone told me about those too. It's like a big faire or merchant district but it's inside and there's a lot of shops with all kinds of crafts and goods.

[Clearly, Anna isn't heartbroken if this is how the conversation has quickly turned.]
