[as he's never been subjected to the second level before, he accidentally accesses it while muttering quietly to himself, staring a little at his hand. Kurama's expression is one of weariness and maybe vague irritation]

... Interesting. It appears all my wounds have been healed. Even my energy has returned.But I do not remember being moved

[faroffwhistle]

You were fighting before you came here?

[rosewhipwielder]

I was. Just a friendly match, if you will.

[faroffwhistle]

[Friendly enough to leave wounds? But decides to not be any more intrusive than that.]

Hmm, and you don't remember coming here, either?

[rosewhipwielder]

No.

I'm guessing an odd sort of amnesia is also a regular occurrence here?

[faroffwhistle]

Mm, I've heard from a few others with the same issue, yes. A sort of blank spot when it comes to anything that probably happened just before arriving, it seems.

[rosewhipwielder]

[sighs a little, clearing his thoughts the best he can; this is all largely unhelpful and he just got here] I see.

[he remembers something a girl told him, and so asks] Are you from a different version of Template, by chance?

[faroffwhistle]

[a slight pause, but answers the question.]

I'm afraid not. I'm actually from another country that you're probably not familiar with, either.

[rosewhipwielder]

Really. And what country would that be? I don't claim to be familiar but perhaps I've heard of it.

[faroffwhistle]

[Normally he wouldn't, but--]

...Mmm, just a place by the name of Celes. It's really nothing too impressive!

[rosewhipwielder]

[he's thinking... but no, nothing comes to mind]

I guess you were right. I really haven't heard of it. [a small smile]

[faroffwhistle]

[is a little more relaxed now!]

That's all right, I don't think it's entirely well-known to begin with!

[rosewhipwielder]

[Kurama can tell and quickly abandons the subject]

Different from mine, then. I come from Japan, if you've heard of it.

[faroffwhistle]

As I matter of fact, I have, actually!

[rosewhipwielder]

Really. Have you been there?

[faroffwhistle]

...Mm, only very briefly~

[rosewhipwielder]

Either way, I feel as if you're quite the traveler.
