1st ❄ [accidental voice/action]

What?! Where is this? Jazz? Serenade? [ There is the rustling of fabric as someone finally gets to their feet. Fallen leaves crackle as they presumably look at their surroundings. If you're in the same vicinity you'll find a confused man wearing new feather clothing. ]

Serenade? Serenade?! [ This wasn't good, this wasn't good at all. The tone of

[He's taken by surprise by this very familiar voice.]

Prince Crescendo?

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

[ Crescendo is also surprised Frederic. The book just talked to him and it sounded...very familiar indeed. That's good at least; he is hesitant at first but then he replies. ]

Mr. Chopin?

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He sounds rather glad to hear his old friend.]

Yes Your Majesty, it is I.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

I'm certainly glad to hear a familiar voice. [ Yet his is still tinged with confusion. Because your voice is coming through this journal, but there are more important matters at hand. ] Are none of the others here? And more specifically where exactly is 'here'?

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[For a moment, Yuan is a bit confused. This man sounds just like Kratos. After listening to him a while longer, though, he can safely ascertain it's not him.]

... I'd suggest leaving those wings alone. They're an integral part of your being, now.

[Voice]

[magnanimity]

Another voice? [ He'll clear his throat before speaking. ]

Are they? What if one tries to remove them? I do not remember ever obtaining such features. But...I will take your word for it. [ Sighs. This whole thing is complete confusing right now. ]

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

Removing those wings would result in death. In fact, even removing a handful of feathers could land you in bed for a few days. As I said, I'd suggest leaving the wings alone.

[magnanimity]

[ Well that doesn't seem very conducive to his overall situation. ] I see. And they have been placed upon us for a reason as to mark us I assume? I will take your word for it; even if it pains me to know there is truly nothing to be done about it.

[magnanimity]

[ Oh sup Hugo Crescendo will pause and turn to look at you curiously, and then a bit shocked. ]

Excuse me but can you tell me where I am?

||action||

[magnanimity]

Pardon my abrupt questioning. I did not mean to startle you. But, yes, you are correct. I've never been to such a place before so I believe I am. [ He will look around at a loss, smiling a bit apologetically. ]

[ voice ]

[hakoiri]

"Element of surprise" is a phrase for it. You might say Luceti's notorious for its frequent surprises.

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

Luceti...hm. [ He pauses for a moment. Talking book aside he's still confused about his bearings. ]

I've never heard of such a kingdom. I am to assume you are a long time inhabitant here, correct?

[ voice ]

[hakoiri]

I wouldn't be so sure of Luceti being a kingdom. All we have access to are the village and its close perimeters.

[ There's a pause as he considers how "long" he's been here. ]

Not very long, actually. Three months hardly make me a long time inhabitant . . .

[ voice ]

[magnanimity]

Not a kingdom...that would explain the unfamiliarity of this place then.

[ He will frown on his end. ]

Three months is hardly considered a short time either. But I do understand your meaning. As for the village you mentioned I'm guessing it's nearby the forest I awoke in?

[sly_little_fox]

Confusing, isn't it? Might wanna be careful with those wings.

[magnanimity]

[ A momentary pause before he replies. ] It certainly is. They'll take some time getting used to, but thank you for the warning.
