[...The laughter is still ringing in his ears.
Though he's been sent back to the Chaos Gate standing, Kageno quickly falls to his knees again, shivering profusely. He makes no noise-- he was never much good at that-- and stares, unbelievingly, at the place around him.
He's back here.
He's not dead.
But then...]
I want... to go home...

Hey! Are you all right? What happened? Here, drink this.

Unfortunately, green-bro, all you get in response is a skittish, eyeless stare back at you.]

It's all right, it's just a healing serum! You're new here, aren't you? I'd like to help as much as I can. My name is Silabus, and I run a guild called Canard where we try to help out the new people here and help them acclimate.

Uh... ... tha-- thank you... [It's unclear whether all of that really stuck in the boy's mind, but he nods shakily and takes the healing serum gratefully.]

How long have you been here?

A... a.... a few... hours, I think.....

Ah! But the GMs are nice and will help you with just about anything you ask, except for how to leave. And many of the players are nice too since we're all stuck here together. You can ask the NPCs for help as well, but they have pretty generic answers. You just have to do events to level up-- and maybe at a higher level, we'll be able to leave. I don't know, really, but we can hope!

...Not everyone here is... nice...
[It seems more like he's talking to himself than to Silabus, but... In any case, he very gently takes the other boy's hand to stand up, supporting himself further with his staff.]

Did something happen with some other players?

[ And Silabus rests his hands on both of Jin's shoulders and gives them a friendly pat, alongside a bright smile. ]But see? I know it was scary, but you're all right now! And there's a lot of people who'll help you and help others now that we know we need to look out for them. It's a hard concept to get used to, but you can't die in The World-- you come right back perfectly fine. It doesn't make what they did right by any means, but it's something that might happen more often around here, if people like that start showing up. In my world, it was pretty common really. Here in the towns, though, it's a safe zone and no one can hurt each other! So you never have to worry if you're in a root town ( ... )

[He certainly doesn't have the way with words that Silabus has, but he's a good listener, and this person is definitely making him feel better about the whole stuck-in-a-game affair. Though he's still wary after running into Prometheus and Pandora, Kageno feels like he can trust this person-- at least, he seems quite a lot more trustworthy than the people he'd met so far.]

[ He looks around the area to see if anyone he recognizes is in the immediate vicinity, but to no avail. Well, no time like the present! ]
So if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to at least give you my member address! Then if you ever need help, you'll have at least one person to call. I'll do my best to help! --Ah, and if I may, what's your name?

Call me Kageno... and... thank you for all of the info...
I think I feel... a little better about this place now.

[ He smiles wide, and extends a hand once more. ]
It's very nice to meet you, Kageno.
