Day 1 [Voice Post] [Accidental], [Text]

[dragons_are_ok]

[A shuffling sound as someone gets up. You can hear the crunch of damp snow as they stand, albeit shakily. Everything sounds muffled, as if it's coming from inside a pocket or maybe a school bag.]

It worked... I'm sure it worked! There's no way I couldn't have destroyed the Philosopher's Stone... I certainly didn't get sent back again...But...

Silver Star Tower?

...

Ah.... you're new!

No, I don't think there is a Silver Star Tower anywhere near here.

voice

[dragons_are_ok]

Oh! So you can talk into this too. Isn't that handy...

This must be some very advanced magic to make such a thing. Is it made by a sort of Alchemy?

Um... if you don't know where the Silver Star Tower is, I'm sure if you just tell me where I am, I can find a map and I'll get back.

[13sugars]

Actually, it's technology, nothing but electricity and wires. It'd be nice if it was magic though, maybe it would be more charming that way...

I'm afraid I don't even know what it is, miss. I'm very sorry.

You're... really not anywhere near home anymore. This is Discedo, on the planet Fortuna.

voice

[dragons_are_ok]

Wow... to make something like this without magic... whoever did it must be a genius!

...It's a magic school, for gifted magicians.

[She sighs, sounding more resigned than scared or terrified.]

I... I see. Okay. I thought it would be something like that. I should stay positive. Um, what's your name?

[angelic_lawyer]

I'm afraid it's quite unlikely that you'll be able to make your way back any time soon. This city is called Discedo, and you were, I'm afraid, brought here against your will.

[dragons_are_ok]

Discedo? Okay! This is... believe it or not, good news. It means I'm in an actual place and time and not some endless loop. Something's gone wrong but... in a right way. Which means there's a way back.

Are others trapped here as well?

[angelic_lawyer]

[...] Everyone here was brought here by the same individuals that brought you here.

It seems that the only way to leave is for the scientists to return you.

[dragons_are_ok]

So it was because of other people... I see.

The scientists brought everyone here? So this is pretty much a city of hostages then. I guess there isn't a way to talk to these scientists is there?

[witchoftheweek]

This may be of use.

Philosopher's Stone. Are you a magician?

[dragons_are_ok]

That clarifies a lot. Thank you.

...Er... you heard that? Um... Yes, I'm a witch. But I didn't make the Philosopher's Stone.

[witchoftheweek]

If I may ask, are you a human witch?

Hmm..I have found that the name Philosopher's Stone may refer to different things. In the history of my world, it was a hypothetical stone that was said to turn lead into gold and grant eternal life.

However, I have also chosen it as the name for one of my spells, composed of five elements, which amplifies my magical abilities. May I also ask what you mean by Philosopher's Stone?

[dragons_are_ok]

I haven't managed to turn myself into a lion if that's what you mean... Er. Yes. I'm human.

Unfortunately, where I'm from the Philosopher's Stone was very real. Put simply, it's a stone that can do just about anything really.

[cozmic_travel]

My my, all that talk of magic... you'd think you were from Gensokyo.

[dragons_are_ok]

No miss. I'm a student from the Silver Star Tower.

[cozmic_travel]

Do tell me more, please. It sounds fascinating.
