The word sounded strange on her tongue. By her expression, it was hard to tell if she believed Alethea; this sure<em>seemed</em>like a dream, but the student didn't argue. There were times when one should cautiously demand answers of a strange situation, and there were times when one should go with the flow. Melody was certain that this was the latter rather than the former. She watches with a dreamy smile as they each go through their own choosing and when Alethea's laughter abruptly stops to give a confusing question, Melody sobers slightly. A heavy legacy? What did that mean? It seemed foreboding.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm Melody,"</strong>she said, guiding Mugi. She hadn't immediately realized the woman was reliant on a wheelchair, but now that she was paying attention she assisted dutifully. Dutifully-ish.<strong>"Pleasure to meet you."</strong>It didn't immediately occur to her to politely return the question or to even answer the following ones - she was too enthralled with the spectacle before her.<br/><br/>It isn't until Alethea teleports that Melody straightens up.<strong>"Magic!"</strong>she declared in awe, lifting up a finger to point. Clearly, she hadn't truly believed their predicament - this had been about as real as reality television in her opinion - but she couldn't offer an explanation for what she had just witnessed.<strong>"Oh, I feel somethin', all right!"</strong>she answered, eyes wide. But she did feel...<em>something</em>. Something new and interesting and strangely fulfilling. She paused in her reflective sass to begin the reflective task of looking inwards. She was no stranger to inward reflection, but she preferred to look outward. To her impact on the world, not its impact on her. And right now, the argument between the two distant voices seemed clear as crystal.<br/><br/>And inexplicably, she<em>knew</em>that one of those voices was true. The bread price truly was ridiculous. That<em>knowing</em>was a strange sensation. Was that the mind's eye? Was she going to grow an eyeball on her forehead? Would she be able to teleport, also? She searched, pushing wider. What else would she inexplicably know? She could... sense some...one? Something? She felt sure that it was a person, but had no idea why she felt so sure.<br/><br/><strong>"The tree?"</strong>Melody asked, following Mugi's gaze.<strong>"It's a... uh... nice tree. Very sturdy."</strong>But as she said the affirming words, she looked critically at the tree and thought that it was truly a mighty fine tree. It had a certain je ne sais quoi that Melody felt confident she<em>could</em>describe given time. She tilted her head, staring at the tree thoughtfully as Fennu spoke.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm sorry, but does this seem strange to anyone else? Such strange introspection in front of total strangers! Can we do a, like a, a quick little introduction before we continue this icebreaker business?"</strong>she requested, and then she took initiative to just start. The act grounded her, made her feel more like herself in this strange moment. She placed a hand on her chest as she introduced herself and then turned it outward to a wave.<strong>"Hi everyone. My name is Melody. Melody Yeoh. I just walked out of a bathroom and into a whole new world. Isn't that crazy?"</strong>she said with a short laugh.<strong>"And can I just tell you about the price of bread? I just feel like I need to get it off of my chest. Is that crazy, too? It's just so expensive here! Why do I know that?"</strong>She had a smile on her face as she spoke, her expression flitting between curious amusement over the absurdity of the situation and warmth as she looked at the other women.<strong>"And my wand. My wand feels so good in my hand. Like it belongs. I feel such <em>peace</em> being here. Why is that?"</strong>
