( there’s a bit of a strange ‘whump’ noise being made as she taps her finger against the recorder of the communication device. forgive her ignorance, folks, Red is from a time in which typing doesn’t even exist yet. the whole trinket confuses and boggles her, so the fact that she’s managed to turn it on at all is a triumphant small victory )

Um… Hello? ( her voice is small, but welcoming and rather friendly )

Is this working? I don’t understand… ( she trails off momentarily but picks up again: ) Snow? They told me I could ask about you and you might be here…

Snow?
Hello…?

Please answer, Snow…

There's a big guy named Snow hanging around, that who you're asking for?

[redrepels]

A boy? No, Snow is a girl...

[thefutureboy]

Ah, sorry. I haven't met any girls around named Snow. What's she look like? I'll keep an eye out for you.

[redrepels]

She has long, dark hair and fair skin. She might be in a cape of white, at least, she was when I lost her...

[thefutureboy]

You lost her? What happened?

[Noel gets a little sheepish.] If you don't mind telling me, that is.

[redrepels]

I was with her before and then I found myself here, so, I lost... ( she trails off as she realizes she may be wrong on that one. )

Or, maybe I'm the lost one.

[thefutureboy]

If you're the one who ended up here, that might just be true.

The name's Noel, by the way. Noel Kreiss.

[redrepels]

Well. That's depressing.

Oh, I'm Red. Just... Just Red.

[thefutureboy]

Well Red, if I see Snow, I'll tell her you're here, and make sure that she starts looking for you.

[redrepels]

Thank you, so much, Noel... I would be so grateful.

[thefutureboy]

No problem. Just make sure you don't give up, yeah? You never know who might show up in a place like this.

[redrepels]

Y, yes, I'll try not to... Are you... alone here?

[thefutureboy]

No, I got lucky. There's a girl here I went on a pretty big journey with. Her fiance's that Snow guy I mentioned before.

[scentacrosstime]

[There's a sound of Wolf taking a breathe. Then scratching away his neck.]

Any luck...?

[redrepels]

( her voice is rather small with her single worded reply: )

... No ...

[scentacrosstime]

Awwoooo...

It's alright, don't worry, everything is gonna be alright. She might show up eventually, only time could tell.

[redrepels]

It... It's alright! ( she forces herself to sound happy ) I don't mind being alone...

[scentacrosstime]

Who says you have to be alone?

No one said that, certainly not I, and I wouldn't ever allow such a thing. Surely you can't mean that.

I never let my friends be alone when they need it the most.

[redrepels]

Oh, I'm sorry...

I didn't mean to... I... ( trailing off over and over, she's not even sure what she's trying to say here )

[scentacrosstime]

D-Don't apologize, you're not-It's...

[Gives a sigh.]

Awwooo... What I'm trying to say here is, if you need someone to count on or have a friend, you have me. I don't mind at all.

[redrepels]

Wolf, I'm sorry... ( she sighs herself )

I... Thank you...

May I ask, um... That is, I don't suppose you might know of... Places to stay for little to no... Pay...?

( l-lol, what is currency anyway? )

[scentacrosstime]

It's alright Red...

Awwwwooo? You don't have a place to stay?

Erm-Well...

[Sound of him scratch his neck.]

There are some places but-If you don't mind it, you're allowed to come live with me. I've got room in my place for more than two.

[redrepels]

Ah well, not... Not really, no.

( she has been sneaking around the same way Snow had been when she'd first met her; hiding out in various areas for the nights, but a place to properly live? no. )

W, with you? Are you... Certain?

[scentacrosstime]

Sure I don't mind, the more the merrier. I'm sure Blue will be alright with it, she's really good company to have too.

[redrepels]

Blue? Oh, no no, I could never impose on a couple...
