Nnh-come on, I know this has to...

[The microphone's working before the young, slightly winded male voice on the other end realizes it-and it's accompanied by the frantic clack of computer keys.]

There. I think... I think it works now. [It's mumbled to himself, and then there's a brief shuffle before the boy's voice comes through a little more

It was most likely a demon wanting you for food. I'm afraid there's a lot of them around.

[contempsi]

Just like everything else on Pulse. [A soft, wry laugh.]

What's a... demon?

[thehawks_eye]

Pulse?

One of the locals here. Most defiantly not someone that uses this. Most demons attack first, too.

[contempsi]

Locals?

[He frowns to himself. Something doesn't seem right.]

But there isn't any human life on Pulse... not that we could see. Are you with that other person who answered? How did you get here?

Oh yea, this is Voice.

[thehawks_eye]

This isn't your world, It's another. [She sounds sympathetic about this, she really does, but after two months of new arrivals, Riza's also rather jaded about it all.]

The same as you, we washed up here. Drowned, I should say. And brought here to feed the demons.

gotcha \o/ all of his have been voice. ^^

[contempsi]

That's where I was before, though. [Now he just sounds confused, perhaps with a touch of indignation-though it'd be more directed at this situation as a whole.]

You've really never heard of Pulse? Or "Hell", as a lot of us call it. -used to call it, anyway...

Re: gotcha \o/ all of his have been voice. ^^

[thehawks_eye]

No, I haven't. I'm sorry.

Hell is an apt name for this place, considering what I have seen in the two months I have been here. [At least she thinks it's two.]

[contempsi]

That's... [He trails off into a sigh. How far did they fall from home? This was much different than their descent. Even the fact that there's apparently a lot of people here serves to unnerve rather than reassure him.]

What have you seen?

[thehawks_eye]

Demons -- Creatures that I believe come out of Asian folklore. They look like Chimera, to be honest.

[contempsi]

I-I've read about Chimera, but never seen one... I wasn't sure if they existed or not. They're really here?

[thehawks_eye]

Indeed.

They don't seem to come into the village proper much though.

[contempsi]

The village...?

[That just confuses him even more. Only on Pulse did they have "villages"; Cocoon was vastly advanced and filled with cities and towns. Yet this person had already insisted that the place he's in is neither Pulse nor Cocoon... but how is that even possible?]

What is this place? Am I in a village now?
