( 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…

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.

[redrepels]

Oh, I see. I'm glad for you. ( she sounds more perked up at least )

[thefutureboy]

Her sister's here too, and a bunch of her friends. It's almost kind of weird, really, since none of them have ever met me.

[redrepels]

She never introduced you to them?

[thefutureboy]

We never had a chance. Things where we were from were pretty complicated.

[redrepels]

Oh, that's unfortunate. But, you get to meet them now, so. That's a good thing, yes?

[thefutureboy]

As long as I'm careful not to talk about the wrong things, yeah.

[redrepels]

The... Wrong things?

[thefutureboy]

Like I said, complicated.

[redrepels]

That... Must be hard.
I'm sorry things are so complicated for you.

[thefutureboy]

Not hard, really. Just...strange.

[redrepels]

Strangeness can be difficult. But you know you're own situation much better than I do, of course.

[thefutureboy]

Yeah.

So, what's she like? The Snow you're looking for?

[redrepels]

Oh, Snow is wonderful. She's so carefree and full of life, and kind and charming and sweet.

She's an amazing person. I wish I were more courageous like her.
