UWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! Ow owwww-wowow! Tobi never wants to do that again!

((A few feathers kick up in the air as he squirms about.)) No fair! Tobi doesn’t know what’s going on. Somebody stole his coat and left him all alone. Wings are weird, too. Ohhh but this book is nice! Tobi hears lots of strange voices coming from inside of his book. It’s like it’s talking to me. ((he leans into the pages of the book.

It’s very quiet for a time, as if he’s experiencing the words inside the pages.))

HARROOOOOOO!!!! Teehee, what a funny book this is. Can people hear Tobi, also? Tobi should introduce himself!

Tobi is Tobi! Nice ta meetcha!

Ugh! Tobi isn't a pumpkin! But if Tobi were, he'd be a pretty tasty one, I bet!!!

[Pff--snort. Norma laughs at the response, pulling back with a grin. She kinda likes this kid.] You'd be enough to fill quite a few bellies, too. And I bet can make a real good pie outta you, too!

Uwaaaa Tobi always dreamed of being a delicious pie.

But! Too bad! Tobi is Tobi, and making a pie out of me would be really gross.

[Oh my god, she really likes this Tobi kid. He's making her laugh so hard. Always dreamed to be a pie? Pffft--]

I dunno, I bet we could find someone who'd think a Pumpkin pie like you would real yummy! Buuut, let's worry about that, Pumpkin, you still out on your own?

Eh? Oh, yes, Tobi is still very alone!!

Really? Know where you are? I can stop by and pick you up if it's not too far? Hear a river or anything nearby? Or are you near any shops? Houses?

Tobi is on a bridge! and there are

One, two... Two houses by Tobi!

[Oh, that's a big help. Norma can definitely work with that!]

See any numbers on those houses, Pumpkin? I'll come and get you from there! If you don't have anywhere to go, there's a Welcome Center with loads of info and stuff to help you out.

Tobi sees three threes and a one! Am I close?!

[Three threes and a one? 3331? O-Or was it 33 and 31? Good lord, this guy's confusing. Either way, if he's by houses with a three on them, then he's actually really close by! Norma heads outside of house 34, hoping to see a lost guy with a pumpkin face wandering around.]

You mean like 33 and stuff? If you're around there, you should be real close to where I am!

O-oooohhh yes yes! That's where Tobi is!

Tobi will come find you!!!! UWA-HaAA ((BOOK. CLOSED. MOVING OBJECT. BEGIN. You'll probably catch him buzzing around and looking for you in bushes and behind trees.))

[It really doesn't take long at all. Given that Tobi's all but two or three house away and making himself look totally suspicious and silly, Norma finds him in just a few minutes. She snickers at the behavior and waves pleasantly, before skipping right on up towards him.

Jeez, he looks like a grown up, but he acts like a total kid! It almost makes the temptation to just hug and cling onto him unbearable - Norma can totally get behind that silly behavior, fun adults are the best adults.]

Found you!

UGU-UWAAGG!!! ((STARTLES--oh wait it's that girl again. Generally non-threatening, he determines as he looks at her, his shadowed out eye giving her a once over. She was the 'happy-type', and consequently, easy to fool with a smiley happy demeanour like this.))

Ooo! Ohayou---!!! ((his hand pops up to wave.)) Tobi must not have been hard to find, huh? Heeheehee.

[Amazingly so. Norma doesn't even think twice about the possibility that her new friend may be...more than he seems. She just laughs pleasantly, and tilts her head at him and the mask. Good lord, it really did look like a weird pumpkin.]

Not...really. You kinda stick out like a big, sore thumb. [Pull punches? Not Norma's style. She says it like it is.]

Uguu Next time Tobi will be harder to find. Then it's more fun! ((he bounces slightly.)) Tobi doesn't know his new friend's name, though.

[Oh, oops. She never did introduce herself, did she? Ah, whatever, introductions are better done in person anyway.]

Norma. Norma Beatty! Expect crystal eren and a darn good treasure hunter this side of the legacy! Or, er--...Luceti now, I guess. Nice to meet you, Pumpkin!

Ahhh!!! It's nice to meet Norma-san also; it quite suits you.

[More of those add-on things? She's heard a few people use them now, but never once bothered to learn what they were or meant. At first, she just thought they were cute nicknames, but...eh.]

What does that mean anyway? You're the third or so person I've met that uses those add-on thingamajigs.

Eh?

Huh? [Oh. Oh, right.]

Oh, uh...y'know, the thing at the end of my name you just used! Norma-sun or...something. What's that thing mean?

Ahhhhh!!!!! Norma-san! It's a sign of respect! Tobi often uses it.

[Sign of respect? Jeez, and it just sounds cute, but whatever! Norma will take it with a grin and hook her arm with Tobi's.]

Awww, you're a pretty nice guy, aren't you? C'mon, I said I'd take you to the Welcome Center, so I gotta make good on my word! I'll show you around the village, too.

Okay okay!!!

((READY AND WILLING TO FOLLOW))

Does Norma-san know everything well?

[And off they go! At a brisk pace, no less.]

Me? Well, not everything, but I've been here close to a year now, so I guess I'm pretty familiar with a lot of the stuff in this place. The good aaand the bad...

Ohhh! Norma-san is a regular expert. What can Tobi know?

Re: [video] shhhh nobody speaks of the latter shhhh
