Who: Angela and you~!
Where: Somewhere on the outskirts of Espoir, at night.
Style: I'm willing to match whatever is comfortable.
Status: Open!

Waking up in a place she'd never seen before wasn't exactly a new experience. Since leaving Altena and traveling the world, Angela was getting used to seeing new places and meeting new people. It was an

Hey!

[Not really noting the girl talking to herself, Boris is going to pounce on that scarecrow and knock the sickle out of its hand. Much like a cat, he'll be inspecting his prey now.]

I've always wanted to catch one of these.

[... oh wait, there's someone else. Just taking note of her now, Boris turns to her and tilts his head.]

... oops, was this one yours?

super late! My bad, sorry.

[carnivalcat]

Well, that's kind of where you are now.

It's cool!

[witchmaker]

Is that anywhere near Altena?

[carnivalcat]

... probably not. I've never heard of that place, at least.

[witchmaker]

[ She blinks at him. ] You... How can you not know about Altena? We-- they just attacked Forcena. Everyone knows about that.

[carnivalcat]

See? That's the point I'm making. I don't know either of those names, and I didn't know Somarium before I got here either.

Wouldn't suppose you're familiar with the Country of Clover?

[witchmaker]

Clover? I-- no. But... what are you saying? That this Somarium place is in a different world?

[carnivalcat]

Bingo! Got it in one- my prizes are elsewhere, though.

[witchmaker]

You're kidding, right? This is a joke?

[carnivalcat]

No, my jokes are way funnier. You should be able to tell when it's a joke.

[witchmaker]

[ She sighs and rubs her temples. ] If I hadn't just ran around the world freeing elemental spirits from stones, I'd think you were insane. But sadly, that actually sounds believable, considering.

[carnivalcat]

... if that's what you were doing before now, I'd say you were in need of a vacation anyway.

[witchmaker]

We were just about to head to the Holy Land to put an end to things with the Sword of Mana. I wanted to fix things before Altena destroyed itself.

[carnivalcat]

... sounds like a drag.

[witchmaker]

Someone needed to do something. I at least have my friends with me. [ She looks around. ] Or... had.

[carnivalcat]

Still sounds like a lot of unenjoyable work. [He waves a hand.]

Take your time here to forget about it. Vacation or something! [Thinking they'd spent enough time on that topic, he grins.] You ever had a caramel apple?
