[The video begins as a view of the inside of a bag. The device must have been turned on by accident...or by faerie shenanigan, of course. Fortunately the bag is set down only a few moments later, allowing everyone watching to peer over the top at the inside of the Temple. A young man is leaving the pack on a bench, cloaked and holding a distinctive

[He's got nothing much better to do while recovering than to play Sunshine welcome wagon.] Hey, and sadly, welcome to Demeleier. You've kind of been kidnapped here by some omnipresent beings called 'fair folk' and are stuck here, along with the rest of us.

This thing you're playing with is the communicator that all of us here use to keep in touch. So... want to use it to ask me any questions?

[Another face...! Med'an takes a minute to look over the buttons and functions of the device. He's never seen something like this before, and he's completely flabbergasted at his current situation, but he'll learn fast.

Kidnapped by "fair folk"? At least it isn't the Twilight's Hammer...or he hopes this is an "at least" situation. So far, he's heard a voice and seen two faces. Of people who are not actually in the machine. Right.

Does he have questions? You bet your glowing ass he does. But which one first? He looks a little defensive.]

Why?

[Darryn is content to wait for you to think of something to ask. And man, that's a doozy of a first question.] Well, apparently you, I and everyone else here was of interest to the 'Fair Folk'. The reason is as simple as that. We're a game to them, or something like that.

[Yeah, Med'an's annoying like that. He frowns at that. Not quite the best thing to hear ever, amirite?]

I...

[He stops and swallows hard, putting the communicator down. This is a dumb question, but....sort of hopefully;]

There's no way out?

[Darryn quietly releases a tense breath, but he remains looking friendly and sympathetic now too.]

Not really. Some people have disappeared, presumably to their own worlds, but most of us remain trapped here.

[His cute little face might fall just a tiny bit.]

I just got done being kidnapped.

[After a few moments.]

....I'm Med'an.

[darrynmiquiztli]

Sorry Med'an. [And he means it! He really is.] I'm Darryn.

If you find the village, those of us who are brought here have set ourselves up into the homes there. You'll find somewhere comfortable to rest at the very least.

It's nice to meet you, Darryn. [ingrained politeness is what? he still sounds a little down, though.]

How long...have you been here?

[Video]

[darrynmiquiztli]

[Oh he hates when people ask that. It seems like so long. He'd rather not think of it. Still. He smiles.] Oh, about five months or so.

[shamagaladin]

....

[Five months. He can go five months without people he knows. Not that he's ever done it before. In his entire life.

He nods.]
