Luna | Zero Escape

I. Arrival

[The thing about being bound to one place for the entirety of one's life is that they can tell immediately they're not where they belong. Especially if said person is not actually a person, but a machine whose brain ought to be elsewhere. Whose body is supposed to have been shut down for good.

Luna feels so out of place and unsure of what her next task should be that she can't even enjoy how natural this place is compared to her home. She wanders vaguely, continuously winding up the locket around her neck to play a song, the only thing grounding her and giving her some kind of connection to home. The notes ting away as she approaches, her fingers entwined in front of her.]


Excuse me? I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt... Would you mind telling me where I am? I seem to be lost.


II. Braving the Trail

[Once the shock has worn away, Luna does appreciate all this natural beauty, especially on a trail such as this. The promise of an even more spectacular view is even more tempting, and so she goes!

She never gets that temptation to look back, though. To her, the sign counts as an order, and she will not disobey even if it might not be directly from a human. Instead, she looks ahead of her, smiling as she takes in all the sights and sounds that she never got to experience back on the moon.]


Have you ever seen anything like this before? [She asks her companion, who may be having far more trouble fighting the temptation to look back than she is.]


III. It Arrives

[Luna does not have any bells, but the bird cage locket she keeps around her neck is particularly shiny. She has no idea how it happened. She has no idea why it happened. All she knows is that there was honking, a rustle of feathers, and then the necklace was gone, slipped from her neck and into the beak of a horrible goose.]

Ah! Please, stop!

[She gives chase, but the goose is pretty dang fast! Help a damsel in distress?!]


IV. Confession Network

[She's never known the world outside of her home, so...]

Some place that's full of nature and greenery. It always sounds so peaceful...
