[ Excellen has taken up home in the onsen--partly because she took a liking to Signum and a few other inhabitants and mostly because it's, well, an onsen

"New" sisters...?

[she tilts her head.]

Ah, 'Echidna'...That was the time with the caves, and the...monsters.

[video]

[excellinnuendo]

What's her beef? She seems pretty grumpy, unlike our own happy queen.

[video]

[mnementomori]

I'm not...exactly sure. But I can tell you what happened.

Those caves appeared suddenly, and of course we all decided to explore...there were monsters in them, and treasure and stuff. But I think they all belonged to Echidna, and the Queen wasn't supposed to let us go in. So Echidna got angry and tried to turn all of us into monsters.

[ ...Ouch. That hits a little too close to home for her to keep up her cheery act. ]

So, it doesn't seem like our queeny is the only one with muscle. But Miss Monster doesn't sound like the cooperative type...

[This respondent is consulting some looseleaf paper]

According to the people I've talked to, she's the owner of the monster caves, doesn't like people going in them- the word "penetration" was involved, by the way- and punished people by transforming them into monsters.

[excellinnuendo]

...Penetration? Kinda weird, considering--wait, I should probably be paying attention to the stuff about monsters.

[notvitiligo]

It seemed like a kind of weirdly, um, double meaning word, given the location. Not that I'm all into that kind of thing, but...

I wasn't really there, so I only know what people told me a while back. If you want, I can try to dig up the replies I got from people about the incident. It was back in... January, apparently.

[excellinnuendo]

I'd appreciate it!

[Yuki had recently taken up residence at the Onsen as well, having been invited to live their by Miss Signum. At the moment she is simply wandering around in an attempt to get her barrings in this strange place.]

Oh hello, are you new here...?

[Action]

[excellinnuendo]

Uwaaah! What do we have here? Wah, wah, don't tell me Lat's got a sister!!

Re: [Action]

[snowboundheart]

N...No. My name's Yuki.

Re: [Action]

[excellinnuendo]

You can call me Big Sis Excel!

[alchemistsquery]

Latooni's here! I'm so excited. ...I don't know anything about Echidna though. Have I heard that name before?

[excellinnuendo]

If you've been here and haven't heard, then probably not. She seems to be a bully.

[alchemistsquery]

Does she... hurt people? Can we do something?

[excellinnuendo]

She sounds more...overprotective of her property. Like a crazy old cat woman.

But with monsters instead of cats.

And caves instead of a front yard.

Excellen. [Sephiroth inclines her head in greeting.] I am Commander Sephiroth of SOLDIER, an elite branch of Shinra's military, but you may call me Sephiroth.

I have been researching and exploring this place since my arrival, months ago. I would be pleased to assist you in any way I can. My associate Jessica Boyette has gathered information about Echidna based on interviews.

[video]

[excellinnuendo]

Waaah, she beat you to the punch!

[video]

[no_hometown]

Excellent. There are informative pamphlets compiled by Jessica provided in the library, as well. The Vine posts made during that incident can also be searched, if the Vine permits, so you can see firsthand what others said and did at the time.

I have gone into the caves in question many times myself, but I have encountered no difficulties.

[excellinnuendo]

Waaah, maybe our dark queen went back into her eternal slumber!
