[The man's voice, when he speaks, carries a very distinctive accent. British, maybe? In actuality, it's a ~*Ferelden*~ accent, but hey: easy mistake to make. Furthermore, it's quick and obviously rambling, as though the man is a few shades shy of shrieking screaming in a very manly way.]
No no, this can't be. It was just a pinch, it couldn't have

Quite the explosive entrance, isn't he? Asuka looks at his journal, wondering exactly where this guy came from... but he's not able to resist making a comment.]
Hey.
Your book's talking to you now, too.
We're waiting for you.

"Waiting"? Waiting for what?

All the people speaking to you through it, all the voices that are coming from it… we’re all trapped inside! We need you to let us out, so we can be free.
[He’s trying so very hard not to laugh right now. He doesn’t quite care so much that his grin is probably very audible--after all, it’s a joke! Kind of. A horrible prank disguised as a joke. Something like that.
It’s still funny.]

You're trapped?
[He inspects the book, as though it'll provide him with some answer.]

[Oh man, oh man, he needs to come up with some lies -fast-...]
I don't know what happened. There were just a bunch of people and they said something about the Black City, and how they'd be able to open the gates...

He'll see where it goes!]
...and I don't remember the rest. Just that we've been trapped here for a long time.

Don't tell me you tried to get in?

[He sounds outright -appalled- by the mere thought!]
They did it! The people that were trying to get in, they trapped everybody else inside the book!
[Come on, do you really think he's that stupid (even if he doesn't know what you're talking about)? Jeeeeez.]

I've never heard of anything like this....
[And yet, he still sounds as though he believes it.]
How can I help?
