[Midnight on the 6th- another warm night. If your journal is open tonight, you might hear this transmission, though your visuals are close to nil. Someone's new and out there in the forest, it seems.]

Is this how...? Right.Good evening. Pardon the interruption, but I must ask: This Guide- is any of it real? It sounds awfully quite a lot like

[apocalypsefall]

[Well, this is amusing. A small laugh is heard.]

Oh yes, it is certainly quite real. Fascinating, isn't it?

But your friend may like to know he can get his things back easily. There is a store in which to find them.

[Voice]

[ishisfriend]

The forge and the...item store, wasn't it? It's difficult to remember exact names when you skim, I'm afraid.

But it is quite very fascinating, yes. It could make for a very interesting story.

[Voice]

[apocalypsefall]

Yes, the item store is where I got my clothes and my sword back. It was really quite kind of our captors, really.

That's what I think, too. It'd be best to return home...[Understatement.] But at least this is entertaining.

I am Count Waltz.

[Voice]

[ishisfriend]

It sounds rather like our captors find it immensely entertaining as well. Or perhaps they're confident enough that we'll never be able to muster up enough to escape?

[A count, though. Interesting- and here, he'll glance over at Elliot who's probably reading over his shoulder and raise his eyebrows. He wasn't all too familiar with nobility back home and if anyone knows who's who- well, Elliot might.]

Leo, [...] sir. I apologise, I wasn't aware that we were speaking to nobility.

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend]

[Elliot shakes his head. That name doesn't sound familiar at all, but... Well, might as well introduce himself, too. Just in case. Or something.]

Elliot Nightray, of the Nightray dukedom, sir.

[Leo already apologized, so. He totally doesn't have to do that.]

[Voice]

[apocalypsefall]

A pleasure. [He's just glad there are more people here who know how to talk to him. It was getting tiring to put up with bad manners.]

And it's no problem at all. Many people here don't know very much about interacting with higher classes, it seems. There are people from all different worlds here. I've never even heard of where you come from.

[Voice]

[ishisfriend]

It can be difficult to learn all the proper manners. [There is nothing sarcastic in his tone but the irony is probably obvious to Elliot- since Leo's hardly the most polite person around. To him, at least.] Especially if they're from different places.
