[ A (surprisingly) tiny elf greets all who would come across this message in the most pleasant manner possible: by slamming her palms against the console and raising her voice. ]

How dare you! [ You possibly meaning the people behind her abduction though anyone is free to take offense. After all, it's a display for all to witness. ]

I bet you don't even have the gall to address me in-person! I swear to you, no matter what it takes, I will find the thieves responsible. [ Wait--thieves? Perhaps she's not so angry over being kidnapped as she is over something missing. Then again, hasn't she been stolen herself?

Alisaie, who has experienced loss so much over the span of her short life, can't bear to be without her grandfather's (second to) last gift to her. A grimoire that was half of one and yet fully operational as a focus on its own. After spending the past day searching for the highly-valued gift of sentiment, she's finally taken to addressing any who would listen. If Alphinaud were here, he would insist they could catch more flies with honey and perhaps she would have left this (all of this) to his expertise. Since she is seemingly without, her hand has been forced while she's not in the best of moods. ]

I would offer a reward for a hint but pray tell how I may compensate for aid when I am without my coin purse. [ Angry and cynical, what a good combination. Furthermore she won't waste anyone's time with trivialities or questions. That is knowledge she will discover on her own in due time.

For a moment, it appears as though the tantrum has concluded as she steps back from the console. No, something else sprung forth to mind and while she feels guilty he was not her first thought, he is now her primary one. Her gaze lowers towards the ground as her bangs fall over her eyes. There is one question she must ask no matter how painful the answer may be. She wills the courage within and speaks of it abruptly. ]

If you have seen a boy--[ They may be adults but Alphinaud will always be the little boy to her. ]--who shares my very image, I... [ would love to see him once more. The sentence never is completed, Alisaie growing more withdrawn as regret chews away at her.

Enjoy the emotional roller coaster today, viewers! ]

[ having been here for a few months already, it's easier for nanako to pick out the newcomers in the posts on the network. she remembers feeling the same way: lost, scared, confused. if this girl is missing her brother, nanako can't begin to imagine how upset she must be. if souji weren't here, she doesn't think she'd be able to manage up until now.

in the end, she decides to speak up, clearing her throat a little. ]

Um, I'm not sure if anyone told you yet, but you can try check the older posts on the network to see if your brother is here. If not, there's a chance he could show up later too.

[ Alisaie's attention is snatched instantly once she sees a tiny Hyur child. Was she a captive as well or perhaps she has spent her entire life here, having been born on such a vessel? She can't imagine what that may be like herself as she finds the air stiff and the lack of wind discomforting. ]

Older posts? [ By now she's gathered the network is this strange artifact (much like a link of pearls) so older posts must mean... things said in the past? ]

There is a record one could access?

Yeah! [ she's not surprised that alisaie doesn't really know about it. she looks like someone straight out of the fairy tales she reads back in inaba. maybe their technology is different. nanako's been taking these kinds of things in stride ever since arriving on the fleet. ]

Each post made on the network has a date, right? So you can go back through the archive and read what people have posted before. I think you can go all the way back to the very first post that was made, but it might take you a while.

[ She nods, considering her words. If there was an archive, there was no need to ask others for further questions. That meant she can focus on getting to know her potential allies and in turn bombard them with questions about themselves. An unfamiliar place full of others in her situation. If they ailed from the same grief as herself, then there was no doubt there were those who would be violent and others who would seek out a means to home no matter who they trampled along the way. ]

It seems the Twelve favor me on this day. [ To receive such helpful news is a blessing indeed. ] You have my thanks.

[ Man is wont to cast light wheresoever secrets lie hid in darkness--though that which he illuminateth seldom bringeth him joy. Alisaie knows she must search to sate her curiosity no matter how painful it will be. ]
