--won't it come off? [The sound of infuriation and the shaking of wings can be heard. There's a familiar voice of a girl with blond hair and a white cotton sundress.

In contrast to this white dress is a purple pair of wings she seems to be annoyed with.] What gives? Since when did I get wings? --Wait, scratch that. Why do I have wings? And why am

Nope, not a dream. Are you alright? Besides the dress and the wings I mean?

[Audio] 1/3

[piggybabe]

[Okay, where the heck did that come from?]

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

[Ino looks around hastily.] Where are you?

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

[She takes on her stance, looking more fierce than surprised.] Show yourself! I'm not afraid of you.

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

There should be a book somewhere around - maybe on the floor? My voice is coming from that. It's just my voice though. Not the rest of me.

[piggybabe]

Book? [While still maintaining her alertness, Ino searches for a book. Oh, there it is on the floor. There's a moment of hesitation before she bends to pick it up.]

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

[Once she sees the little "icon" on it--] ... You've got to be kidding me.

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

It's ridiculous isn't it? Oh, and I should probably clarify -- I'm not the book itself. It is just broadcasting my voice to you.

Hello.

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

Okay, I'm starting to get it. [Sort of like those communication devices they use on missions. But instead, it's, well, a book. Great. Her expression is not amused at all.]

I take it you're the one that brought me here?

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

I'm not, no, but that's what I thought too. When I first showed up here, I mean, and I got to speak to the first person who contact me. In fact I don't belong here any more than you do, and I've never spoken to or met or otherwise encountered the ones responsible.

[piggybabe]

[... Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Once you get kidnapped, you'll know your kidnappers. That's the basic rule of kidnapping, gdit. 8| What in the world is going on here?]

You mean to tell me you're also like me? --Where are we, anyway?

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

Luceti. This place is named Luceti.

Not very helpful I know, but it's something to hang the rest on. You have a lot of questions, I understand that, but hearing all the answer at once is only going to confuse you. Have you eaten recently? Are you thirsty? I can put the kettle on for you if you like. Or... maybe that sounds a little sinister. Inviting you into my apartment. Tell you what, I can bring some food or water out to you.

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

I'm fine. I'm not hungry. [She ate a light lunch before being sent here.] Right, Luceti. How sure am I that I can trust you, by the way? --Oh, and a good friend from back home seems to have found me through this-- this book.

He said he'll explain things to me. [Sorry, she's still wary of other people for now. :(]

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

[A friend. Good. It'll all sound more plausible coming from a friend.]

You're probably not very sure at all -- and why should you be? It'll get better though. Give it a week or so.

[Audio]

[piggybabe]

Thanks, I guess... [She's silent for a moment as if lost in thought. Ugh, this situation is starting to give her a headache.] Anyway, I haven't gotten your name yet?

[Audio]

[bookworldly]

My name is Thursday.

[Cautiously.. cautiously.. ]
