First Truth

[daughterofknox]

[Dlanor is standing by the phone, holding it in her hand almost absentmindedly. After a long pause, she starts to set it down, but brings it back up to her ear. Definitely a dial tone. So the wires haven't been cut. At least, not yet. She holds it away from her, but still close enough so everyone can pick up what she's saying

[Oh. Oh there are bad vibes here.]

... Furniture, Uryu? Is that furniture?

[daughterofknox]

...I have been referred to as such before. [A pause.] Please identify yourself.

[glompedbystakes]

S-Sakutaro, Uryu!

[daughterofknox]

...You have never been on the game board. However, your name was mentioned in a file. [A pause.] I suppose it is proper to introduce myself. I am Dlanor A. Knox, Head Inquisitor of Heresy. Though you are furniture of a witch, I will not execute you as long as you do not interfere in the game.

[glompedbystakes]

W-won't interfere, Uryu!

B-But... not on the gameboard anymore.

[daughterofknox]

...Please elaborate.

[glompedbystakes]

In 'Mayfield' now. Powers are taken, clothes are taken, anti-magic-toxin everywhere, Uryu.

[daughterofknox]

[Sad Dlanor is sad.]

...So in other words, I am useless.

[glompedbystakes]

[Aw, can't have that!]

... B-But Dlanor will get clothes back, will get powers back! Everyone does, after a while, Uryu!

[daughterofknox]

That implies I will be here for a while. It is necessary that I leave as quickly as possible. Miss Erika needs me.

[glompedbystakes]

... S-Sorry... No one knows how to leave, Uryu...

[daughterofknox]

Is the situation simply that no one can find the exit, or that there is some sort of barrier?

[glompedbystakes]

... Tried to leave once... Just wound up at a different part of town, Uryu.

[daughterofknox]

Is that not magical influence? From what you have told me, it sounds like whoever is responsible for this can use magic, even with a strong anti-magic toxin present. This is very suspicious...

[glompedbystakes]

U-Uryu... Please be careful... There are good people, and bad people... There are 'brainwashings', and 'drones'...

[daughterofknox]

...Once again, I must ask you to elaborate. I do not understand what you are talking about.
