[the voice is soft, hesitant and young. There is a conscious attempt on his part to sound collected, but a level of discomfort still pours through. Time is very obviously flowing in this place, although he can't compare any of its general architecture and locals to anything he's seen before. All the more to make him anxious.

[soranghae]

You just arrived here too? I, I don't think anyone is able to get home easily. A lady told me that people sometimes disappear but otherwise, I think we're all sort of stuck here for a while.

I'm sorry about that. Still if you need any help, I'll do my best. I'm Mi Ho, by the way.

[beforethetower]

[He's reserved and wary, taking his time to answer.]

Why are we stuck here?

[soranghae]

Why? Hmm, I'm not really sure. I've only been here a few days myself but it seems like there are all sorts of people with all sorts of abilities and powers. I'm not really sure why we're here but it seems to be the music box that brings us here.

[She more than a few degrees oblivious to Helius' quiet reservation, ploughing on ahead with her random thoughts.]

If you don't mind, may I ask your name? I think it makes using this seal thingy easier.

[beforethetower]

The music box? By itself?

[he pauses, hesitant.] ... It's Helius.

[soranghae]

I think so. I'm not really sure how they work but it seems that once you listen to the music you get brought here. I haven't asked around much, but I'd bet there are people looking for ways to get home somewhere in the city.

[On her end, she smiles. Perhaps he's a bit quiet but maybe he's also someone who could be a friend. She was still quite new to making friends but with no one from her world here, she had to start somewhere.]

That's a nice name, it makes me think of air.

Splendor is sort of overwhelming for me but, I'm slowly getting used to it. I don't have any of my friends from before here but I've met some good people who have helped me out. That and it seems whomever the strange locals are, they don't allow violence. So at least the city isn't outright dangerous.

[beforethetower]

[On the other hand, he finds her capable of talking a lot. He may be half-distracted by the surroundings. There are too many people here, a lot more than what he's used to dealing with by himself.]

Still, I... I don't want to be here.

[soranghae]

I'm sorry about that. Really, I wish I could help you find a way home but I'm not even sure who to ask about it.

Are you alright? Maybe you should find out where you're house is, if you need to rest.

[beforethetower]

House? I don't have a house.

[soranghae]

Everyone gets a key when they get here. You should have one on a necklace, I think. It tells you where your house is. What sort of key did you get?

[beforethetower]

[around his neck? A hand goes up to grab it, taking a better look.] It looks like a tree.

[soranghae]

I'm not sure where the tree keys go. I think maybe the snowy place a bit north? Is there any writing on it?
