[ It doesn't take long for Raven to figure out how to get the communicator on. It does take her a little longer to decide whether or not she wants to actually do anything with that information, though. When the feed switches on she's sitting comfortably at the edge of the fountain, although the expression on her face is anything but entertained. ]

When I said no, I meant no. I don't know where all this... [ the feed jumps about a bit as she rotates her wrist, but it comes back to normal after a moment or two. ] technology has come from, or why you'd bother disguising it, but it's not happening. I'm not interested.

[ And then she frowns and folds one leg over the other, gaze dropping from the communicator to somewhere to the left of her. She's had enough of talking to the device on her wrist it seems, because after a moment or two the video flips and it becomes apparent that she's stood up and has started to walk through the town.

It lasts a moment longer before her wrist bumps her leg and it cuts out. ]

Action...? let me know if not cool

[chlorophylliac]

[While Ivy's still settling, she hasn't been going far from the park, but there's nonetheless a need for her to understand the broader layout of the town and get some idea of its inhabitants even though she's not too eager to talk to them.

She doesn't know the blonde girl - hasn't checked her wristband for a while - but that's not much surprise. Still, she has the slightly disoriented look Ivy wouldn't associate with an earlier arrival.]

Looking for something?

more than cool!

[hidingtiger]

[ Disoriented isn't the half of it. She gazes around blankly as she walks down the street, looking intently for some kind of familiar sight, something that indicates that she might know where she is.

Surprise surprise, there's nothing.

Even more surprising is when someone actually addresses her, and in a moment before she gets her brave face back again, she looks incredibly shocked to see someone else. ]

Looking? No. Not for something, anyway. Looking in general, I suppose. Did I bother you?

Action! <3

[chlorophylliac]

No, not at all. You've just arrived?

[It's barely even a question.]

[hidingtiger]

Am I that obvious? [ It comes with a slightly sheepish grin, pausing a moment before approaching slightly. She can't help it, it's kind of fascinating to see someone - well. Someone like her, in a way. ]

...Are you, too? New, I mean.

[chlorophylliac]

[She nods.]

I arrived yesterday. Though no-one's been here longer than a month or two, as best I can tell.

[A short pause.]

Ivy.

[hidingtiger]

[ It's bizarre to her that Ivy is so open about her differences. A life of hiding has left Raven well and truly convinced that it's the only solution, and she's brought that with her here. Ivy though, Ivy practically flaunts her difference. It's amazing, really.

She's staring, though. Clearing her throat, there's another sheepish smile as she diverts her gaze. ]

Raven. My name is Raven.

[chlorophylliac]

[Raven, really? Well - pot, kettle, she supposes.]

Raven. You can look at me but I do prefer my face as a target.
