The fog rose and a dragon came.

[Isley's voice accompanies the gentle click of his Forge as he turns it on, the gears humming internally, a soft whir of noise that is barely audible against the brush of wind across the speakers. The sword he normally carries at his hip is driven into the earth; he rests his back against the blade and in his lap

...this place has quite the history, huh.

[Murder, death, suspicion. Blood and mist and panic. Dragons and fireflies... so much history, here. So much spelled out, without caution from this man or reprisal from this place.

Interesting.]

Darkness... hnnn. That... Caretaker's Journal. Know if that's still around?

[swordofthenorth]

[Everything he's just told? Is information anyone could find out. There's no point trying to hoard it.]

You might be able to locate a copy from one of the members of the Alliance.

[iattractmushi]

[It's very different from what he's used to--since Edensphere had the nasty tendency to kill people who talked about its past so openly.]

Thanks.

That's everything that's happened from the time you arrived here, then?

[swordofthenorth]

Not exactly.

That is everything that has happened...to date. All that the Forges have recorded. I arrived somewhere in the middle, just prior to the siren incident that laid waste, temporarily, to the waterfront.

[iattractmushi]

[That actually shakes his calm acceptance, making his eye widen a touch in surprise. Everything?]

...I see. There's a way to find out everything that's happened...? [He'll have to figure out how to do it. It might be useful to know more about some of those things.]

So this place has only been been pulling people here for... what, two years?

[swordofthenorth]

Well, not quite.

There were incidents before, and you can find some reports in the local library. It has been happening for a long time. The ones I've reported here are...the events of our generation, if you want to call it that.

You can scour the Forge and uncover various bits and pieces of detail. It's time consuming, but rewarding.

[iattractmushi]

Huh.

[Looks like he has a new hobby.]

I'll do that, then. Thanks for the information.

[swordofthenorth]

You're welcome.
