1st Secret [written/action]

[jushinkan]

[If there is anyone who hates being poorly informed, out of the loop and left in the dark more than anything in the world, it's Xellos. Which is exactly what he is right now, so believe it or not, yes he is a touch cross. Actually, he's very cross, and was he a man monster of any less fortitude, he'd have taken it upon himself to rampage around

[ Tir was new - there was no point arguing that - but... it looked like he at least knew more than this person. In a legible, somewhat formal script: ]

It's a place called "Luceti." Apparently it's an isolated part of another world which has no natives.

[Well he did just get here~. He is, however, reading even more of the journal now. Learning is fun!]

How strange, so everyone here is a prisoner? Who might the wardens be?

written;

[todistantskies]

[ And Tir is learning right now! He's learning how to use the journals... ]

I can't say. It's more of an impenetrable prison than a well-guarded one from what I can tell.

I was told that people come here through a natural process ("shifts") and that the only thing really keeping us here is the barrier around the area.

[jushinkan]

[A barrier, huh? That complicates everything :|]

How unfortunate...

And how many are trapped here?

written;

[todistantskies]

[ Sorry Xellos bro. :| ]

At least ~125. About the population of a normal small village. Apparently more people arrive around this time, but leave randomly.

[jushinkan]

[Stupid barriers, what do we need those for anyway?]

I see. The arrivals can be timed, but not the departures.

[Well there goes his idea for trying to monitor patterns.]

Very unsettling...

Oh, but I'm sorry, here I am grilling you for information and I don't even know your name!

[todistantskies]

[ We don't. We should totally tear them down. Somehow. ]

It's fine. My name is Tir McDohl.

There's actually a really lengthy guide somewhere in the books if you want to read that instead.

[jushinkan]

[With MAGIC of course!]

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister McDohl.

So I'm finding now! I'm so sorry to have wasted your time.

written;

[todistantskies]

[ And Xellos only has the best~ ]

Likewise. And what's your name?

It's not a problem. I've never used these books before, so it wasn't a waste for me.

written;

[jushinkan]

[Well of course! 8D]

Xellos.

So this was a mutual learning experience? Well, I'm glad I could be of help!

written;

[todistantskies]

[ Heck yeah! ]

As do I. Sorry I can't give you anything more. There aren't even books like this back in my world, though.

written;

[jushinkan]

Oh no, it's quite alright. I hardly expect you to know everything. There isn't anything quite like this back at home for me either. It does make me wonder.... where are you from, if I might ask?

written;

[todistantskies]

I'm from the Gregminster. The Scarlet Moon Empire.

How about you? [ A pause ] Same world?

written;

[jushinkan]

Huh! I have never heard of that place before!

Apparently not. I just got out of Seyruun, actually.

written;

[todistantskies]

I can't say I've heard of Seyruun, either. I was having good luck with meeting people from my world, too.

written;

[jushinkan]

It's a fairly famous city, a white magic center, if you will.

Well, at least you're not lonely here!
