[Housing B2]

[Mirabel... certainly has felt out of sorts since her arrival. What is she supposed to do? Her family and Casita were in another world, she was stuck here with no way home. Nothing felt right. Nothing made sense. She's been given the run-down about where she is, where she'll be leaving, but she's definitely been doing a kind of depressed moping about her apartment.

Even all the optimism in the world can't really help her fight off the fear and confusion of being stolen from her home. Even though her uncle was here, so that means she's a little less alone, she's still away from her entire life.

After a lot of not doing anything for a couple of days, she's finally seen putting on her bag. She looks a little more determined now, or maybe she's finally realized that she can't just stay in the apartment forever.]


[ADI Apartment Complex]

[Mirabel's taken to exploring the ADI housing complex first. If anything, to meet the residents who might be stuck in a similar situation and get to know them. If she sees you, she'll give a small wave.]

Hola! Can I ask you a few questions...?

[She's no detective, but she's gotta start somewhere if she's gonna get home, right?]

[Around town]

[Mirabel's exploration started with the ADI housing complex, and is now stretching to the rest of the town. The 15-year-old Colombian girl is found just generally checking out stores and buildings, and being kind of in awe of how different everything looks. While looking around the shop, she sees the fleshy phone cases being sold and people pushing other people out of the way to buy them.

She's only had her own smart phone for a few days, and she doesn't understand the appeal, not having that kind of technology back home. Not to mention... the fleshy look.]


Is it just me or do these things look a little... weird?

From what I've heard, in this world, powers are grants by entities of great evil, that seek to cause fear so they can feed on it.

Using those powers, even with good intentions, corrupts the person who uses them. You have to feed that terrible entity with fear to use those powers.

It's not a fast thing. It isn't as though you use magic once and suddenly turn into a monster. It's slower. But the more you use it, the harder it is to come back from.
