Would anyone care to train with me? I'll be at the battle dome for a while, and I'm open to new scenarios.

[Terra is there for a good portion of the morning, revisiting familiar sites from home, though occasionally she will switch to a different scenario, trying out places she visited with friends. She can also be found between bouts of training

[He's standing nearby and overheard that. And is picturing some kind of Gladiator-style place now.]

Battle dome? What's that, some kind of fight club?

[esper_flight]

[Terra glances over.]

Hm? Oh, no. Not really. It's a place where you can find simulated monsters and the like though. And all sorts of backgrounds can be created, too.

[ufo_fanboy]

So it's a computer-simulated fighting arena... pretty much a video game? Is that what people do here for entertainment?

[Entertainment-wise, Mulder has noticed a severe lack of adult video stores. This makes him a sad Mulder. :( But he supposes virtual reality can be fun, as long as the simulaitons aren't literally trying to kill people like that one he investigated.]

[esper_flight]

Some people--though I see it less as entertainment and more as training. I can't afford to become rusty, not here....

[ufo_fanboy]

Why, are we in any danger of attack in this village?

[Something in her tone definitely makes him wonder...]

[esper_flight]

Um...possibly. It was invaded last year, so I'm told, and well...a few of the people here can be violent. Not that most are--

[She shrugs apologetically, wishing she has better news.]

[ufo_fanboy]

Who invaded? ...Did they come down in flying saucers?

[Yep, totally straight-faced asking that because to him 'invasion' screams 'extraterrestrials.']

[esper_flight]

Flying...what?

[Sorry, need more context here.]

[ufo_fanboy]

Flying saucers? Unidentified flying objects? Spaceships? You know, what extraterrestrials use to get around in?

[esper_flight]

[Still confused, she shakes her head.]

...um, no. They didn't need any ships to arrive. They're part of this world, I think.

[ufo_fanboy]

Oh, so we're on their territory? Then someone should find a way out of here! Where are their headquarters?

[In Mulder's experience all you have to do is forcibly break in and then... well, you kind of have to ad lib it from there. Still.]

[esper_flight]

I...don't know. It's past the barrier, somewhere. And no matter what magic I use against the barrier, nothing disrupts it. It's the same with anyone else.

[ufo_fanboy]

How deep or high does the barrier extend? Anyone ever try digging under or flying over it?

[esper_flight]

Yes and yes, though neither has allowed for an escape. I'm...not sure how deep it is, but as for how high--about ten miles, I think?

[ufo_fanboy]

Are there aircraft? You could send up planes of some kind...

[esper_flight]

[She shakes her head.]

Except for magical means, there's no reliable form of transportation. We don't even have chocobos here. Airships...no, definitely not. I wish otherwise, but the Malnosso aren't that generous.
