So, I can use this thing to send messages? A bunch of people can hear me? And I think I’m…yeah, it’s recording! Okay, then, um…hi, everyone! My name is Sora, and I need some help. See, I’m not really sure where I am right now. I’m kind of…well, I’m really lost, actually

Hello Sora! I'm Gracia. It's nice to meet you.

[voice]

[unlockingsmiles]

Oh, hey! It's nice to meet you too, Gracia.

So, can you tell me what this place is called?

[Poor kid hasn't quite learned his way around the Relic; he hasn't run across the handy little 'Map' button yet.]

[ookami_tengu]

Greetings, Sora-san.

[voice, then text]

[unlockingsmiles]

H-el---o...er...

[there's heavy static in the middle of the word, as if something is wrong with the machine. After a minute or so of more loud static, the feed shuts off, and it's followed immediately by a regular text message.]

Sorry about that. I think I pushed a wrong button or something.

[ookami_tengu]

These things are a bit difficult to work with at first.

[unlockingsmiles]

You could say that again. I thought computers were hard to figure out, and this thing seems just as complicated.

Oh, I didn't even realize there was a voice feature on here, haha. I have to admit, the technology's a bit... well, old. Hello Sora; my name is Silabus, and welcome to The World! Assuming you haven't wandered far, you're in Mac Anu, the root town of the Delta server-- that's where everyone starts out in the game. I'm afraid if you had something else you were doing... ah, how to say.

[ He coughs a bit, and his cheerier tone turns a bit apologetic as he starts to speak again. ]

I guess you won't be able to for a while. We're all stuck here inside of the game. I also don't think I've met anyone by those names, but maybe someone has! I hope that you can find them soon.

If there's any other questions you have, I'd be more than happy to help. I've been a long time player of The World, so there isn't much I shouldn't be able to answer!

[voice...then text. His technology fail is showing.]

[unlockingsmiles]

I haven't really gone anywhere, so that must be where this is. But I still don't see how this is possible. When I went though the door, it should have taken me straight to Xemnas...and if I'm stuck here, that means...

[And now he sounds genuinely worried about something. You don't get to hear it for long, though, because there is a sudden rush of static, and a frustrated noise from the boy before he shuts the feed off.]

Again? Sorry about that. Thanks a lot for the help, Silabus. I really appreciate it. I'll keep looking for my friends, though, just in case.

[smilesforfree]

I'm afraid I don't know who Xemnas is, either.

Anyway, a good chance to look for people would be to head to the Square-- there's an event going on right now, so there's a lot of activity there. You could even take part and get used to how things work, because I'm pretty sure no one's going anywhere anytime soon.

[unlockingsmiles]

The square? Alright, I'll be on the lookout!

But what kind of event is it?

[illuminatism]

I cannot say that I have seen any of your friends, nor are their names familiar. I'm sorry.

But if I come across them, I will let you know. [is about to send - but, oh right, name] I'm Amaterasu.

[unlockingsmiles]

It's okay. They might still be back where I was, though I'm kind of worried about leaving them alone at a time like this...

Thanks for trying to help, anyway! It's nice to meet you, Amaterasu.

[illuminatism]

That isn't an uncommon feeling, when it comes to one's friends. Was there something important that you were doing, before finding yourself here?

It is nice to meet you as well, Sora.

[unlockingsmiles]

Yeah, there was. This group was trying to do something that would end up hurting a lot of people, and my friends and I were trying to stop them. It's really complicated, but we were about to go after their leader. Then I just ended up here, somehow.
