001. [Voice]

[The voice that comes across the feed is almost irritatingly calm, as if Jade hadn't just been rudely pulled from wherever he was just moments previously to... here.]

I can only assume this is some sort of communication device. Seeing as I've just arrived, I'm afraid I have a few questions for whoever this message might be reaching.

I'm not

It's a city in a different dimension and there's no escape!

[pacmanbelt]

[Well... that was rather to-the-point, if a tad bit on the dramatic side... "no escape," indeed. Not that it was outside the realm of possibility, given his current observations...]

I'm afraid I'll have to ask for a bit more information. What exactly to you mean by a "different dimension"?

[aettir]

You know, an alternate reality! Outside of your universe.

[aettir]

Haven't you heard of them before?

[pacmanbelt]

Not particularly.

[Not with any kind of seriousness, at least. Then again, Auldrant was a world where trying to reach - and possibly migrate - to another world had been considered radical even at the height of its technological advancement...]

Though I suppose I can't discount the possibility.

[aettir]

It's the only possibility anybody's got! Especially with all the other stuff around here.

[pacmanbelt]

[Hm... Time to do a little information digging.]

What sort of things are you referring to?

[aettir]

Eh-there's status effects every couple days, people from a million different worlds, all-powerful deities... stuff like that! There's supposed to be monsters outside city limits too.

[aettir]

It's kinda hard to take in at first.

[pacmanbelt]

[Well that was... moderately informative though less precise than Jade would have had in mind. Monsters outside of the city wasn't anything unique as far as he knew.]

I see. [As is normal with Jade, it's probably hard to tell if he's being serious or not.]

Simply out of curiosity, with whom am I speaking?

[aettir]

... Mikura Kaz--uh, Kazu Mikura. I just got here a month ago.
