The world is about to get a little more pink | New arrival at the Plaza!

[dyaetus]

Heart thumping, mind swirling. Is this really happening? As a little girl, Tae had only dreamed of being able to service for her country, being able to help hold the balance between the different colourants. Alongside other Dyaes, she felt like she was the queen of the world, almost. Now that it's actually happening, she can't fathom the thing she will be able see, do, or think. 

But does that actually matter now? Her heart is set, and there's nothing that will come between her and her ascension to dyaedom. Tossing her worries aside, she exits her house, preparing to face the world as the next Magenta Aenk Dyae. She's sure that the other Dyaes are waiting for her arrival, and she would be soon standing alongside the Cyan, Yellow, and Key Aenk Dyaes. 

The path to her fraction is like a maze--her role as the new Dyae is to find it on her own. 'Follow the path', she'd hear from the elders. Her memory doesn't lead her to the main building, and it leaves her thinking whether she had taken a wrong turn somewhere. What stands in front her isn't the main building, but a busy plaza. The way back seems to have vanished completely, and the queasy feeling in her stomach doesn't settle her nerves.

"I was so sure I had taken the right turn that time..." Disappointment settles, and it leaves her feeling even more nervous than before she left the house. What's a girl got to do in a situation like this? Tae looks to her left right, taking in all the information she can manage, and quickly tries to find a way to retrace her steps. She can't. 

"I should have drawn a map--why didn't I draw a map? What am I going to do now?"

She smiles, content with the newfound information and newfound friend. She soaks in the information, letting it sink in for a bit. "Earth, huh?" Of course it's foreign to her, but she's not closed to new possibilities. Maybe one day, she can visit this Earth that Adia is talking about, and explore a little beyond her boundaries. She decides, and notes to herself that she will have to wait a decade or so, after she steps down as the dyae. She's excited for it, nonetheless. "That sounds interesting! Maybe I'll visit Earth one day." A pause. "It's nice to meet you too."

Though she notices the shift, she decides not to question it. She's quite keen on learning more things, and as Adia talked about her world, it gets her to wonder about all the possibilities and things that she can explore, and even find. Things aren't all the same around the universe, and despite being from different worlds, she notes, beauty doesn't seem to change much. Or maybe, she's just being a little too romantic. She opts for the former.

"Wow, that sounds beautiful indeed." She often thinks back to her own definition of beauty, and the land dominated by vibrant colours definitely seems to fit the ideal image. She pauses for a bit, then proceeds, "what's are colonies?" Is it something similar to her world's fractions? Hmm, interesting.

"It's a wonderful planet. I've been a few times. It exists in my universe, but we haven't found it yet."

She smiles, glad that her description of Leonis made a a positive impression on Tae. Perhaps the world she is from isn't so different... but she rethinks that assumption when asked what colonies are. "Ah, well... in my universe, human life originated on a planet called Kobol. There were twelve different tribes -- groups of people -- living on the planet. There was some sort of disastrous event and the tribes evacuated, eventually settling on twelve different planets. We called them colonies. There was a thirteenth tribe, too, but they left before everyone else and founded a colony called Earth."

It sounds like something akin to her own world, except at a much larger scale. Although unlike the situation at home, there is no leaving of any of the fractions, and she doesn't even think that it would be possible, given the circumstances. Everyone does abide the law, and no one tries to undermine anyone else, at least, that's what she is told. Maybe other worlds have more freedom, but what is freedom to a girl who doesn't understand what freedom is? Perhaps Tae is narrow-minded that way, but even terms like that is a little more foreign to her. In cases like disasters, though, she considers, probably is good that people leave in order to be safe. Seems like a smart thing to do. Now, why doesn't her world have that kind of evacuation process?

"Wow, that must have been terrible...the disaster.." She thinks about her own disasters at home, and how the people dealt with that kind of thing. Do people just blindly sacrifice themselves for the better good? "Was there a way to save the planet...Kobol?"

"Ah, I don't think so." She shrugs apologetically, wishing she had more detailed information. "This all happened thousands of years ago. The only written record we have of what happened is a religious text called the Sacred Scrolls and it isn't the most accurate..."

If Tae doesn't know what colonies are, explaining that the Sacred Scrolls can't be taken literally, that they are merely an allegory or metaphor for whatever really happened, is not going to be easy. Maybe it'd be best to learn about her world a little more, to see where this pink-haired girl is coming from. "What about you, what's your world like?"
