[payback]

Hah, guessed the magic.

[cricketycricket]

... which bit of it, Rin?

[a pause, and then] More importantly, are you going to be alright? [he saw how you tried to kick the snot out of Zexion, after all]

[payback]

That Paradisa, the world, had its own magic that was native to it.

[a short pause.] What do you mean?

[cricketycricket]

Ah, yes. It seemed so to me, as well - especially since the way Yuan explained magic to me, there had to be some form of it innate here for he and Raine to even begin to use it.

You don't seem to have had the most pleasant of days, recently. [he's not gonna pry the wound back open directly, he's more polite than that]

[tehoniongirl]

These trips always seem to leave us with more questions than answers...but it looks like you all did surprisingly well, this time.

[cricketycricket]

I suppose we did, all things considered. It would have helped a great deal if Flora didn't have the loss that she does ... just our luck.

How are your own efforts on the home front faring, mm?

[tehoniongirl]

Alright, as far as getting our people back home... but there's still no sign of the missing townspeople.

I'm a little worried. If they're as bad off, mentally, as Lois said they were... I don't know if they'll make it back alright.

[cricketycricket]

[he scowls. this is a detail he had missed, and he feels terrible about it instantly] .... Why, what happened to them?

[clarklike]

Thanks for the swift and detailed update. [I hope that's enough to keep Lois from banging down your door.]

Couple corrections:
- It's "Roy" Harper, not "Ray."
- I think the books were found by Nikola Tesla, Momo and Yuki, not Jr.

[cricketycricket]

.... Oh, goodness. I suppose perhaps I shouldn't have written it all out by hand, after all. Roy, if you're reading this, I apologize. [scribbles out the error and fixes it]

Oh! So they found them, did they? Or the lack thereof? I see. I only knew about them because I heard Junior discussing them with Zexion, you see. I'll amend my notes.

Thank you, Clark.

[clarklike]

It's alright, you've got a lot of things to remember as it is. As for the books, the girls and Tesla made an entry about it earlier this week.

You're welcome.

[cricketycricket]

Hundreds of years' worth, really. [he sounds amused at being reminded]

I must have missed it amid all the preparations I was making for the journey. I'll have to look it up, later.

[inmylight_comdr]

[Kat loves you forever now.]

Outstanding, Doctor. This is good work.

[cricketycricket]

Thank you, Kat. It's the least I can do, especially for those following along back at the castle. Best to get it all sorted now, while it's fresh, then try and muddle through half-remembered things when we get back.

What do you think of all of this, hm? [collecting companions' opinions is important, after all. and whether she likes it or not, after all of this? she's got companion status]

[variare]

Nice job.

[ amused at the book thing but clark sorted that one out so :) ]

[cricketycricket]

Thank you, Junior. I couldn't have done it without so many other inquisitive minds asking all the questions, you know.

WHENEVER I SEE THAT ICON NOW I'M LIKE 'YEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!'

[variare]

We're just lucky we actually got some of them answered for once.

WHICH IS AS IT SHOULD BE, HAHA. <3

[cricketycricket]

Oh, believe me, I know. Even with Miss Flora's unfortunate loss, I'm amazed at the breadth of information we've gathered.
