One Seashell - Action
[When Ariel burst out of the sea, she had expected to still be in the water. What she wasn't expected was to be stuck up in a tree.
At least, she thinks it's called a tree. Whatever it is, she's stuck in it, and the ground is pretty far beneath her.
She leans over to cling to the trunk of the tree and stares down, wondering how she got up here and how to get down and - and is that... is that the ground?
Then she... She's on the land?
Ariel slowly looks over to her legs. Legs. Legs! She can't help stretching one out, and the shock on her face turns into elation. It worked! The spell worked! Oh, she has to find Eric now! She -
She's so happy that she very nearly falls out of the tree, and she holds tightly to the trunk again. Yeaaah, she should. Probably not move much right now, even for Eric.
Maybe someone will come along...]

[Action]
Well then. Welcome to Luceti.
[Action]
Ariel tilts her head and mouths the word. Is that what the kingdom is called...?]
[Action]
It's hard to answer questions when you don't ask them.
[And she bends down to the ground, searching around the trunk of the tree. Even if the girl won't speak, if they can find the journal, she can probably write down her half of the conversation, right?]
There should be a little book somewhere very near here, just for you.
[Action]
Ariel leans against the tree trunk for balance as she looks around, too. Maybe it fell with her... But hey, what's that under the snow, poking out a bit - ah, there we go! She leans down, though it's more like she falls to her knees rather than kneels, and pulls at the book hidden there. It's a little wet thanks to the snow, but there it is!
She holds it up for Judith to see with a big smile, then opens it up to look through it. Her eyes go wide for a moment... and she leans in slowly, staring at all these things happening. Voices... videos? What kind of book is this?]
[Action]
[She just stands simply, waiting for the inevitable - mimed - questions on what to do with it.]
[Action]
And then, as expected, she looks back at Judith and holds the book up, a confused expression on her face, and nods. Yes. She is.]
[Action/Written]
[Judith, in her own journal, presents the following two lines and an in real life smile.]
My name is Judith; what's yours?
[Action/Written]
Ah, now it's her turn. As if she just realized that, her eyes widen, and then she takes the pen and writes her answer.]
"My name is Ariel. I've never seen a book like this before in my life!"
[Action/Written]
I would be afraid if you had. [Ariel... nice to have a name to put to the girl's face now. It fits her, somehow.] You've just arrived here. The village isn't too far from this place - not at all far of a walk.
