[The journal is tossed open on the forest floor, and for several minutes all anyone can see are trees and sky. It seems someone left their journal open somewhere, maybe someone has been kidnapped, but after the minutes pass, someone steps into view.

[Tossing up a nice filter like he always does on interesting intros like this. It's easy enough to guess between what Kadaj said and his response to Jay that he doesn't recall his time here before.]

It's a prison that you're stuck in with a bunch of pathetic humans. You've been here before so they will be aware that you are dangerous to them.

[He lets out a disgruntled huff, trying to push back panic. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. He had to find Mother. He had to... He finally replies through gritted teeth.]

Have I now? It's funny, really, that I have no memory being stuck in this place! [a beat and;] Why don't you tell me who brought me here?

You can blame some idiots called the Malnosso for it. Not that it does much good since they are cowards who hide outside the barrier.

Malnosso. Hmph. [And they were undoubtedly liars, too. They probably were trying to keep him away from Mother, like that dirty ShinRa. He would kill them for this.]

What else can you tell me about this place?

[blackenedchaos]

The Malnosso like to make your life miserable and the humans we are trapped with do not help it. You'll find few who will enjoy their pain and misery.

And the humans are not likely to forget you. You were quite well known to be a danger to them last time you were here. [Which is why Yuber is being nice to you Kadaj, he likes people who enjoy murdering humans.]

[There's a long moment of silence as he chews on Yuber's words. The idea of having once been here, of having people know him was strange; he'd even go as far as to say it made him uncomfortable, and angry. Or maybe it was upsetting, he couldn't really tell.]

Is it safe for me to assume that we were allies of some sort? [the word is hissed, as if he doesn't put much weight on it.]

[Yeah, it could be and even Yuber totally gets that. But it is better for Kadaj to know now that the humans were going to think badly of him and he needs to be wary or end up in one of those cells in the tunnels very quickly.]

I wouldn't call us such a thing, but there is little reason to work against each other when we are outnumbered by pathetic humans who think killing is wrong and but tossing you into a jail cell for the rest of your miserable time here is perfectly fine and good. [Obviously the demon does not like the second option.]

They only lock away what they cannot kill, what they fear. They did that with Mother, hid her away, fearing her retribution! [there's a dark chuckle, low and quiet] Humans never learn.

That's the interesting part about this place. Nothing can die. If you kill a human, they will come back in a week to be killed again.

Is there no Lifestream here? [that throws him off, more than anything else he's learned today. He didn't like the Lifestream, but he wouldn't be here without.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

Never even heard of such a thing. Probably doesn't since it seems people who die just don't exist until they come back. [Not that Yuber knows from like well, personal experience here. Nope, never that.]
