001 | Voice
Excuse me? [The voice is feminine and starts off uncertain before continuing with a little more confidence.] Do you know the way back to the castle? I don't know how it happened, but I seem to be lost in the forest. [Her voice falls silent, as if she's listening for some kind of response. When nothing does she continues on talking, but with less certainty.]
I really need to go back. Everyone is probably worrying about me by now. I don't want to give any of them a fright if I don't return soon. [Again, she gets no response. What good is a talking book if it won't talk back?] You seemed to have no trouble speaking a few moments ago. Now isn't a good time to lose your ability to speak.
[Finally the journal's silence seems to be too much for her and she sighs loudly.] Fine. If you don't want to help me, I'll find the castle myself. I'm sure Beast is already out looking for me. [Which...might not be such a good thing if he's angry about her sudden disappearance.]
[For anyone who happens to be walking in the forest near the river, you might stumble across a young woman wondering around aimlessly and clearly lost. And a few lucky ones might come across her seemingly engaging in a one-sided argument with her journal. Who knew a magical book could be so stubborn?]
