2nd Petal | [Voice]/[Action]
[After a long-winded process of reaching the Welcome Center by the end of his first day, getting settled in one of their rooms, and finally getting his clothes, Beast has been staying in his very-unfamiliarly-tiny room just... brooding and trying to make sense of his fate. He's still perfectly convinced that he ended up here because the

That is certainly the question. I'm afraid, as I am relatively new here myself, I don't have a proper answer. I can say, though, that it is not like any location I am familiar with. The flora and fauna seem a curious mix, with no indication of proper geographical regions.
The people here are not from one particular place, and I have found that even the years they lived in vary greatly. The longest span of time I have recorded is almost two hundred years, though I was given to understand that others are further separated than that.

He tentatively picks up the journal, not entirely sure how to react to all that the man said.] ... What?

The plants and animals found here are not from one specific environment, which makes placing Luceti on any map I know nearly impossible. The people here seem to, somehow, have lived at times hundreds of years apart.

The rest, though, is... very strange. Kind of overwhelmingly so.] It... but... how is that...? [He's trying to say, "How can this not be geographically located?" and "How can everyone be from different time periods?" but that's way beyond his level of speech or vocabulary.]

I have made a study of the natural world, and I can find no explanation for it at all. The environment is remarkable but entirely foreign, and the people are more diverse than I've yet to see elsewhere in a single place. Which leaves aside the entire nature of the wings each who arrives in this place seems to have found themselves with.

This guy seems to do a lot of research, which only makes Beast feel all the more inferior in his own intelligence level, especially since he has little that's insightful to offer him.
There has to be something he could ask...] ... Why all these people? [... Well it at least makes him look less stupid.]

I wish I knew.
There is a "Guide" in these journals. If you flip back a ways in it... you ought to be able to find it. If you have not already. It mentions experiments. The people who seem to be in charge of this place, the Malnosso, conduct some sort of experiments on those they have brought here.
Whether that is our purpose or whether they merely see that as another use for us, I cannot say.

But all those pages really are a guide. Yes, he guessed that anyway, but he couldn't actually read the word himself, so... oh no, he's in trouble if everyone's going to expect him to read all of this himself.
He'll just... try to hide this and act as normal as what he thinks to be normal.] ... Thank you. For the... the... [what's that word?]... in-for-ma-tion. [He says it slowly. He only vaguely recalls saying it once before.]

[...It would help, he realizes, if he introduced himself.]
My name is Maturin.

[Guess who hasn't been actually looking at the journal to see the snapshots as they talk?
He is a busy man, damn it. Too many notes to take, hypothesises to consider... Plus he hasn't actually realized that there are pictures or that they're of who he's speaking to.]

A pleasure to meet you-- if one can consider this a meeting.

Right!] The... the pleasure's a-all mine. [That really sounds strange to say.]

I hope you will be well, my friend.

Th... thank you. [... All right, Cogsworth voice in his head.] You too.
