[ When the feed starts, the look this girl is giving the screen is.. a little curious and surprised, perhaps, but there's something knowing in it as well. Perhaps that's why instead of being completely shocked, there's a small smile on the teenager's face as well when she looks at the camera. ]

I'd never thought--

[ She cuts herself off, breaking out into a chuckle as she brushes back some brown hair falling from one of her ponytails. This girl might look very familiar to most people - after all, even if she's looking older there's something familiar in those facial features, in those ponytails.. ]

Well, this was a surprise.. That much is for sure. I wouldn't think there's some secret portal in Junes leading to this place, so I suppose I was taken here randomly again, huh?

It's been so long, though.. [ She's staring around herself in wonder, studying the surroundings so intensely that she almost seems to forget for a moment that the camera is running -- she doesn't remember until she looks at the device. There's something embarassed flashing across her face for a moment, but then she shakes it off, a smaller smile this time. ]

I'm not the only one here this time, right..? [ a very, very slight giggle. ] That would be sort of awkward.

( ooc: replies will come from

outgrewheaven, she's a teenage girl of about 15-16 years now, yadda yadda yadda. )

[ How could she even reject that expectant look - especially when the tune was just the way it's meant to be. ]

You did great! [ She chuckles. ] You're natural at this.

Really?

[ She's so happy to hear that. She looks like she might burst! ] Really really? You mean it?

Do I look like the kind of person who would tell a lie to such a sweet little girl?

[ Does this smile lie, Val. Does it. ]

So, hmm, really really.

[ No, that smile doesn't lie and this lady totally doesn't look like she'd lie either, so the little girl concedes with a delighted sort of sound. ]

I'm gonna sing it everywhere I go and -- [ and then something occurs to her ] -- oh! 'M sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Val! What's your name, lady?

Make sure to teach it to other people too, okay? I'm sure they'd like to learn it too.

[ But at that name she pauses, blinking a few times.. And it finally clicks in her head. This little girl's appearance, along with that name.. ]

... W-wait.. Valeria-san, is that you..?!

[ She nods rigorously up until the lady's second question, at which point she beams all over again. ]

That's my name! Well, it's my whole name. [ And she pauses now, her expression falling a bit to curiosity. ] Did Luki tell you? Or was it Dante? [ Because she knows she didn't use her full name when she introduced herself just now... ]

[ For a few moments she's just.. searching for words, but can't find any, so she falls silent. To see Valeria this young without her remembering anything is strange. It takes a few deep breaths for her to calm down and realise what she has to do. ]

... Ah.. Yes, they told me. It's a pretty name.

You think so? I always thought it was boring. [ But then, most names in Corel are boring. She pauses, though, child's sensitivity picking up that something isn't quite right. ] Are you okay? You didn't tell me your name...

Hmm, I'm okay, don't worry! [ She puts up a big (and rather believable) smile on her face. ]

And my name is Nanako, Nanako Dojima.

[ And Valeria will buy it. This lady doesn't look like a liar, after all, and that smile is pretty believable. Watch her break out the big, wide smile again. ]

Okay! It's nice to meet you, Na-na-ko! [ Yes, she totally had to sound that out, but it's pretty good for a first try. ] I like your name!

Thank you! [ She giggles a little, making sure the smile is staying on her face. ]

Then we can just have nice names together, huh?
