...Wasn't one day of this enough? I'd think you people have better things to do than flood this city. Go back where you came from already. And stay there this time.

You should know this by now, but stay out of the Opera Abandoned unless you're given permission to enter by either Rue, Cain, or myself. And keep your festivities outside, where they

What are you going on about? Opera Abandoned--how did we get off the island?

... Have you found Ahiru?

[sword_and_quill]

Island?

[sword_and_quill]

...

Another Rue, huh.

This isn't wherever you were before.

[odiles_love]

"Another?"

... She's sent us somewhere else? My collar is If that monster didn't want us anymore, why couldn't she have sent us home?

[sword_and_quill]

Yes, another. During this curse, it's not uncommon to see three or four of the same damn people from different universes. But you're only here temporarily.

...She? What sort of place did you come from?

[odiles_love]

... Absurd. Hmph. And where am I to be sent when this place is through with me?

... One I have no desire to return to. You don't remember at all?

[sword_and_quill]

Likely back to wherever you were before this. Hell if I know what this City does with 'visitors' once they leave.

...Don't remember what? I've been stuck here for almost three and a half years now. And so have you - or another you, I suppose.

[odiles_love]

So this is meant to taunt. No matter. Now I know that it is possible to leave the island.

... Atia. You were there much longer than I. ... Though you look no older.

Another of me. This is ridiculous. And I hardly require another of you.

[sword_and_quill]

...No older? I've aged considerably here. Is that the same case for this other me? ...Although you look about the same age as the Rue that I know here.

Hmph. Blame the deities. I didn't ask for this nonsense again.

[odiles_love]

... He never told me the details, but I suppose he must have. He had been there for a year and some months when I arrived there, and that was several months ago. Stop talking about other mes! Kraehe is gone.

"Deities?"

[sword_and_quill]

I see. Well, I don't, but trying to make sense of this is utterly pointless.

They're the beings that run this place and trap people here. And they inflict things called 'curses' on us every few days.

[odiles_love]

That sounds similar to that monster who calls herself a goddess. ... Are there ... collars, here?

[sword_and_quill]

......

Collars?

[odiles_love]

Am I to take it you mean there are not?

[sword_and_quill]

I don't even know what you're talking about. Collars for what?

[odiles_love]

... If you don't know, so much the better for you.
