[It's around eleven or so at night when this message goes onto the network, about an hour later than Emily is used to staying up. It's her first night having left New Bark Town for the first time, and she isn't used to traveling or being alone outside. It's... honestly scary. But when she goes onto the network, she's trying her hardest to sound calm.]

Is anyone else awake? I can't sleep. I finally left New Bark Town. Traveling is fun! A lot more fun than I could ever have imagined. Everything is just so exciting and there is so much to see!

[But now it's night time, and everything is catching up to her and it's dark and scary and weh.]

I haven't ever slept outside before. There are so many noises... I keep thinking- [That her kidnappers are going to find her again] how exciting it will be to make it to the next town.

Does anyone want to talk for a while, maybe? Even if it is late?

You're the one I talked to before, aren't you? You're the... uh. Ogre? No... Oh, what was it...

[Emily is excited at all these people she's getting to meet. She never would have expected so many people to be up this late! It's great, and it's definitely making her feel better.]

Hi! Thank you. My name's Emily Kaldwin, what's yours?

That's good to hear! I don't really stay up late all that much, until lately anyway. Thank you for talking to me, though. What's your name? Mine's Emily Kaldwin.

[She's never seen a boy like you before, Dave. You look... interesting! In a good way.]

It is nice to meet you.

I don't mind it much. Before I was brought here, my form did not require much sleep. I slept perhaps two nights a week. Despite the fact that my human body does need more, I seem to have adjusted to doing without.

I dunno. I mean- Sometimes I get really weird nightmares and then sometimes I just don't get very tired.

Protects you?

What does a kid and their parent need protecting from?

Dangerous? Hell nah, they're like... nocturnal beach balls covered in feathers.

They just sound like the devil.

So, you've finally struck out.

[ Valeria smiles unseen at that, recalling the message Emily left for her in her inbox. She had a feeling the girl would sooner than later. ]

I'm glad to hear that. If you think you can fit me in, I'd be happy to talk with you for a while.

I'm Dave Strider. And yeah I look interesting, part of the family business.

You're welcome! My name's Hikaru Shidou! It's nice to meet you, Emily. Are you new to this world, too?

Same to you, Miss Kanaya!

That sounds really nice! I wish I could get away with not sleeping that much. Can I ask you something? Are you... one of those trolls, then? The ones I've heard about.

Oh... okay. Between you and me? And don't tell anyone I told you that I said this, but. I know how scary nightmares can be!

I don't like people knowing I'm scared sometimes, though, so please don't tell anyone, okay?

Nocturnal... beach balls? What's a beach ball? But it's good they aren't dangerous. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for them and remember that they only sound scary.

Well... lots of things! My mother is the Empress of Dunwall! So lots of people wanted to get to her and hurt her.

[She's... trying not to think of how one finally succeeded.]

He always did a really good job of it, too.

I have never heard of a name like yours, I think it's... pretty!

And yes... I am. Sort of. I've been here a few weeks, though. How long have you been here?

Is that really your family business? It can't make much money! Are you poor?

I have! And I can always fit you in, Miss Valeria. You're my friend!

[She sounds really happy to hear from Valeria, smiling even though she can't see her.]

How are you?

That was a joke. The family business has always been media arts - photography, film, music. Etc.

[Oh. It's like that.]

[He grunts, nodding a little.]

Yeah? Hn. Good thing you had him around then, I guess.

... I have done a little bodyguard work too, for a while.

Just Kanaya is fine.

And yes. Well, formerly. We all get forced into these human bodies upon arrival. And I wasn't precisely just a troll anymore before I was brought here.

But in the simplest terms, yes.

... You don't know what... oh. Right. _{[Sometimes people weren't modern. :T]} Uh... never mind. It's not important.

Anyway.

Yeah. They're not bad.

Even if they're like... terminally grumpy, the most they can do is scratch you up. And I've only ever met one like that and that one is just crazy, so.

You flatter me, Emily. I knew you would strike out eventually. It sounds like you're enjoying yourself. How is Corvo taking to traveling?

[ And Valeria hears that. It makes her smile tug a bit wider. ]

I'm doing well. Training, mostly, when I'm not working these days. [ Which is weird since training was a part of working back on Gaia, but she doesn't mention that. ]

The troll! And yes, I am.

Oh! I... I don't know what that means. I mean, I know what music is! But... Photography? Film? What are those?

Oh really? You should tell me more! I love hearing about adventures! Who did you guard? Was it an Empress, an Emperor?
