[Hi, Luceti. Have a hoarse warning.]

The portal's a trap. It won't take you home at all. I've spoken to two people now who've gone through and they've just been seriously messed up.

Don't go through it.

[What. So everyone that went through disappeared but ended up back here anyway. If you don't mind, Nami, he'll be listening in to the other conversations before jumping in.]

Damn it, it was a trap after all. Did you notice anything else about them once they came back? And are you all right?

[voice]

[mikangirl]

[Not a problem at all. |D]

They seem fine physically, but upset. Understandably. One girl can't stop drawing weird things and the other is meowing like cat. [Cough.]

And I'm fine, thanks. It's just a cold.

[voice]

[blue_velocity]

[Thanks! ^^ By the way, your Nami is amazing.]

Whoa, okay, now that is weird. But at least they're not physically hurt. Where'd they end up, do you know? Cuz I saw some people go through it and vanish.

A cold? I can go pick somethin' up for ya if you need it.

[mikangirl]

[aww, thanks! ;_;]

I'm not sure where they came through, but my friend is back in her apartment now. So she can't have been too far off.

Oh hey, thanks for the offer. But I actually live with a doctor, so it's fine.

[count_gardios]

Ahhh, I figured it was too good to be true.

Are you all right, Nami?

[mikangirl]

Yeah. I kinda feel bad for the people who tried it, though.

I'll be fine, Guy. I just spent too much time out in the snow. [...or under it, as the case may be.]

[count_gardios]

I feel sort of stupid, actually. I was so sure this wasn't just another experiment.

Ah, I see. Make sure you get rest and drink teas and stuff.

[mikangirl]

Well ...I thought you made a lot of sense. Just because you didn't work it out doesn't mean you're stupid.

Oh, tea. I should kind of thank you for that, actually. I had some of the stuff that you gave to Meryl. Hope you don't mind.

[idle_magic]

...I knew it.

[mikangirl]

...yeah. We didn't trust it either.

[idle_magic]

So what happened to the people who did, if they've been seriously messed up?

[mikangirl]

They can't communicate properly. They make animal sounds and if they try and write they end up drawing weird things.

[goldenglasses]

It's a trap?

Are they alright? How hurt are they?

[mikangirl]

They're not hurt, Vash. Not physically. They just can't communicate.

[goldenglasses]

Can't communicate? [You can probably hear the sound of a door closing - someone's headed out for a bit!] Can they write down what happened?

[mikangirl]

No, they just end up drawing weird pictures.

Are you going down there?

[god_is_a_dude]

Told all you idiots it was a prank.

[After listening to the other replies, of course]

[mikangirl]

[Hey. Hey. Who are you calling an idiot? D:]

Half of Luceti knew it was a bad idea. It's just a shame the other half wanted to go home so badly.

[god_is_a_dude]

No, no, I'm talking to the morons who were claiming it's going to kill people or stupid things like that.

[mikangirl]

[...this is that kid who was ranting the other day, isn't it?]

Well, my first thought was practical joke. But you can't really blame people for thinking it might be more serious than that.
