[A strange, golden eyed creature peers into the device. His enormous silver wings are spread out behind him.

His rowan crown is also lopsided, sliding halfway down one side of his head. He doesn't seem to notice, though he does glance around curiously at his surroundings.]This isn't Heaven or Earth. Is it a dream? Or... have my enemies brought me

I doubt it was your enemies, though some of the fae are definitely a threat.

We can hear you, though.

[trashheap_angel]

If they are the natural enemy of humans, I can consider them my enemy.

[And sounding as though he'd be happy to do so.]

Who are you?

[toplay_thefool]

Souji Seta. I’ve been stuck here for a while.

Many of the fae have shown themselves to be hostile to us, but not all. It can be… difficult to tell.

[trashheap_angel]

...My name is Rubi.

[A small hesitation, as if he meant to say something more after that.]

What can their purpose be... If they don't wish to kill you, perhaps they want to use you.

[toplay_thefool]

It's good to meet you, Rubi.

[He notes that moment of quiet, but doesn't bring it up. Pressing more information from new arrivals doesn't seem like a wise course of action.]

I'm sure that there are some that do. Others have pretty benevolent intentions.

[trashheap_angel]

You as well, Souji.

Benevolent intentions? Are they not in alliance with each other?

[toplay_thefool]

In all truth, we're only just beginning to learn about this. But while some fae have attacked or harmed us, others have helped, or tried to help us - for a price or not.

[trashheap_angel]

Hm... perhaps there are two sides, as in the realm I come from. They may want to use you humans.

[toplay_thefool]

There doesn’t seem to be any rift between them, though, apart from that between the Queen and the Guardian. Though I imagine some certainly do want to use us.

[trashheap_angel]

If there is no rift, why are some cruel and others kind? Unless that is also part of a plan.

What is between the Queen and Guardian?

[toplay_thefool]

It was theorised by another resident that the Guardian is actually the King of the fae.

[trashheap_angel]

Ah... then it could make sense. There are similar rifts between demons of great power.

[toplay_thefool]

It could be similar. For the time being, however, we can't really say for sure.

[trashheap_angel]

...How long have you lived here, Souji?

[toplay_thefool]

Almost a year.

[trashheap_angel]

That's a long time for humans...
