*Pippa rode at the head of the search party she had assembled, racing on a huge bay stallion across the Stormhold countryside. She flew past Market Town, and was about to leap over a large wall when she dissapeared and landed on hard marble.*
"What in Grandma YVaine's name..." *She exclaimed.* "Where the devil am I?" *She stared around, wondering what kind of a place this was. It looked rather like a palace, only there didn't seem to be anyone around.*

((Is she still on the horse?))
Anna came back to the opera house, it seemed she had forgotten her coat in the closet she had woken up in just days earlier. She opened the door and looked up to see a woman on a horse looking very lost.

((yupp))
*Suddenly, Fitzwilliker (the horse) dissapeared and she crashed to the floor.*
"Spammit!" *She cried.* "That hurt!" *Then she noticed the woman staring at her, and she straightened herself up.*
"Princess Kazriana Pippanne Meriwether of Stormhold, but you may call me Pippa." *She said, curtseying extravangantly.*

Anna light a cigarette and smiled at the girl comically "A princess eh?"

*She nodded resolutely.*
"Yes, a princess. And I was perfectly happy, chasing after dragons, when some wall found it amusing to send me here!"

Anna laughed "You sound like everyone else in this crazy place" she took a long drag and offered the girl a cigarette.

*Pippa shook her head.*
"My elder brother smokes those and now he can't breathe properly."
*She looked around.*
"What is this place, anyway?"

"That's unfortunate" Anna coughed a bit and looked around "This place is the world famous Paris opera house" she said with some sarcasm "You're in Paris, France in the late 1800's I think" Anna was from this time, but had forgotten to count time many years ago.

"FRANCE?" *She exclaimed, bewildered.*
"I mean, there are stories about people going to England over the Wall, but FRANCE? That's like... that's like..." *She thought a second, trying to understand.*
"And what's an opera house?"

Anna laughed again "An opera house is kind of like a play house, where actors get on a stage and act, and sometimes they sing and dance." She took another drag out of her cigarette "It's all to confusing for me, I don't spend much time here anyway, I only came back to get my jacket." She went over to the closet she had been passed out in and grabbed her coat "There we go."

*Pippa thought some more.*
"Acting... that sounds exciting. I shall have to try it. My mother would not approve." *She said happily.* "She never approves of the things I do, though she seems to support them when Tristan and Primus do them."

Anna nodded confused "I have no idea who Tristan and Primus are," she gave a small laugh "sure they're always having auditions here, at least that's what the fliers say." She threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with her two inch heels "By the way, the names Anna, Anna Regan."

*Pippa extended a hand.*
"Very nice to meet you, Anna. What a strange name, I've never heard it before. And Tristan and Primus are my brothers."

Anna took it softly and smiled at the girl before shaking it firmly and letting it go "It's actually quite plain about these parts, you'll meet plenty of Anna's and Anne's, I used to go by my last name, but nobody calls me that anymore." She looked around, not realizing before that the girls horse had disappeared "Brothers huh? I don't have any siblings, well I almost did, but she was stillborn" she said plainly.

*Anna blanched at the mention of stillborn.* "Oh." *She said softly.* "That's sad. Where did you grow up?" *She asked, strength back in her voice.*
