[After tentatively thanking "mom" and excusing herself as quickly as possibly from "home", Sarah has found a quiet spot on the edge of New Bark Town to investigate the contents of her bag.

Sorry kid, but you can't leave. We're all stuck here.

On the plus side, your Pokemon should help you out, and actually, there's a lot of people who've been here a while to help too.

I'm Ed, by the way.

[brokencandles]

Oh! [She hadn't actually expected an answer. It startles her.] ...h-hello... I'm Sarah.

And I'll get in trouble if I'm gone for too long! Or if they have to drop everything to come get me, or...

[Worryin', worryin'.]

[fullmetalbro]

Don't worry about it. There's a theory going around that time has kind of...'stopped' for us back home while we're here. Don't ask how it works. A lot of things here don't make any sense.

Sorry, but it seems we're all stuck here for the time being.

[brokencandles]

There's no way back at all...?

[recklessmisstep]

No. None that I've heard of, anyway.

[brokencandles]

So all I can do is wait... [She doesn't sound happy about that.] ...um... do I really have to go on a quest with a monster?

[idlelegance]

[He doesn't recognize the girl on the screen, and wouldn't have commented normally, but--]

...Did you say Lady Leknaat?

[brokencandles]

Master Luc? [But she recognizes him!] Is that you...?

[idlelegance]

[...Oh. Oh dear. Now he feels awkward. YOU LOOK SMALLER THAN HIM AND HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU whyy.]

Ah...that's right. [A pause.] You don't have to call me master though.

[brokencandles]

...did you... shrink? [Double awkward.] Um. But that's what I've always called you.

[brokencandles]

[...someone else knows Lady Leknaat?]

Yes? [Sort of.]

[Oh, that isn't going to startle her or anything. There's a short moment where she stares at him, trying to place his face with someone she might know; he looks a little familiar, but that can't be right...]

Who are you?
