Excuse me. I'm not entirely sure what all you said there, but while I can't tell you how to leave, I can offer you a place to stay.

[His first thought is that perhaps it is a child. Keysmashing randomly between words? Maybe?

Or maybe it's someone with some form of severe mental retardation?

Or maybe they're high?

Maybe they're trying to talk in a language that isn't their first language? Except that the Hitomi translates things, so they're no need for that, and it doesn't explain the random...

Wait. Wait. He's seen that before. He had gone through that video game phase, after all...

What the actual fuck is someone doing texting on the Hitomi in that kind of childish chatspeak..? And that still doesn't explain all the 'two' for 'to' and the other ridiculousness.

He cannot rationally respond to this person. Or at least, not until he scribbles down the text, corrects it in his notebook in red pen, and stares at it as it should be for a long moment.

He's still not sure that some of those words are... words.]

This world is known as Kannagara, and you have been brought here by the gods of this place, to play out a role as of yet unknown in its entirety.

Are you perhaps a child?

Oh? Have you been randomly brought to another world before?

... and you really don't know what a child is? I thought this thing translated...

A child is an immature being, not an adult, not fully grown.

[Okay.

Leo has read many things. Many, MANY things. But none of them quite so poorly written and... is that even supposed to be English? It seems like a childish attempt to maim the alphabet.

Maybe it's that horrendous text that makes it impossible to ignore. It kind of sits there as if taunting him until he figures it out. It's not just random. There is a system to it, albeit a strange one. That piques his curiosity enough to make him put up with the unique 'coding' and type out a response.]

First, 'this' is Kannagara. Secondly, that 'green leafthing' is called a tree.

Who are you and where did you come from?

That isn't something I would consider "fancy". What kind of world is Alternia then?

[Elfangor just stares bemusedly at the text for a long moment, needing a moment to adjust to the eye-searing color and... coded terminology...?

But then he notices the pattern, and while he doesn't understand why this person would speak in such a way, it pulls an amused chuckle from him.]

Those who bring us here do not care so much for urgent matters like that. We cannot leave of our own volition. But if they should choose to send you back, it will likely be to the time from which you were taken.

[He pauses, quirks an eyebrow, then adds,]

By the way, that thing is called a tree. If you are unfamiliar with such organisms, I feel compelled to ask - how precisely is it that you breathe?

Air, precisely - which trees make.

[Even in the depths of space, his people brought trees. Of course they could create air supply and recycling systems, but the real thing was far better, not to mention that it also provided the familiarity of home.]

This meddling with time, it has happened to you in prior circumstances as well? This world is not my first experience with such things either.

I am not so certain about this 'ascending.' Granted, that would be the logical conclusion if the gods truly did bring us here to learn harmony, as they say, but the unwilling comings and goings of the people in this realm seem far more fickle than that. I am not certain there is anything one can do alter the duration.

[ She can't unread that. God, she's good at texting but that's like . . . an ultra level of texting. ]

You are suppose to find your inner peace or whatever in this place. Have fun.

[text, detrolled for your comfort <3 1/2] 2eeiingdouble June 28 2011, 01:11:19 UTC
Inner peace.
Are you shitting me?
You just try attaining inner peace when you have a hideous mutant brain making your think pan rattle around in constant metaphorical and actual pain, and you know for damn sure you're doomed to die twice, and you're pretty damn sure your friends' voices are pre-haunting you because of their imminent demise.

Sorry.
That wasn't called for.
It's.
Actually not so bad here.
A little quieter than usual in the, you know, hideous brain.
Except for the sun.
And the leaf-thing.
Tree. What the fuck is its deal?

[voice, because she's too damn lazy to text ] in_starvation June 28 2011, 01:56:08 UTC
[ Seeing all that, Jessica is just tempted to say, "Try being turned into a vampire against your will and be a fucking virgin forever so you can't ever have painless sex. Oh, and I can't go out of the sun and I miss chocolate so fucking much but I have to find somebody whose blood might resemble the taste of chocolate. I win."

But then she realizes it's pointless. Just pointless complaining and finger-pointing and she is so fucking tired of that. So she's just going to move along and just deal with it, like that old poster said. ]

It's a tree. They suck in sunlight and carbon dioxide.

[ At least, she thinks that's what trees are supposed to do. ]

But that tree is kinda fucked up. Too damn big to get around, for one thing.
