[positivelycharged]

[hello luceti. there is currently a (possibly familiar) green-haired child hiding behind community building 5, wearing a pretty new-feather dress. are those pretty? i think they're pretty.

the kid looks kinda scared, huddled against the wall like that, and shivers on occasion while poking around with the magical bookmunicator.]

...I wish this book was a map.

Comments

[voice] I sense terrible things about to happen...

[failguardian]

Ion! [Exasperated huff.] What did you get yourself into this time?

[rocketpunch]

It was awful. And I fell in twice. They really do, too. At least you showed up dry, right.

[positivelycharged]

I'm glad I didn't fall in. How'd you fall in twice?

[rocketpunch]

The ice cracked a second time. You have to move pretty slowly. It's a lot harder than it sounds, okay?

[voice] horrible, terrible things....

[positivelycharged]

...Anise? Anise, where are you? I'm lost.

[perking up immediately!!]

[action]

[positivelycharged]

Really? Oh. That's good, I think.

action;

[positivelycharged]

...Okay!

[what a great introduction to the world of luceti.]

[voice]

[positivelycharged]

...Oh. [suddenly reminded of having to read that score thing.]

Do they make us do bad things?

[action]

[positivelycharged]

Seto. [he commits that to memory. at least this guy seems nice...]

A lot of people think I'm Ion. It happens a lot.

[action]

[positivelycharged]

...I found my clothes!

[pulling out his cheap sackcloth dressthing! oh and i guess his fancy clothes too.]

[positivelycharged]

I don't think I've ever tried moving on ice before. Is the ice really thin? Thin things break easily.

[video]

[positivelycharged]

But where's the welcome center?

[ video ]

[magentarific]

Uh.. Where are you? I can tell you how to get there or come find you to take you there if you want.

[voice]

[falenandawn]

This place is called Luceti..... I am afraid I must tell you no one can leave here, at the present time.

[ video ]

[positivelycharged]

I don't know...that's why I wanted a map.

[voice]

[positivelycharged]

...But if nobody can leave here, then how do we get home? What if Anise and everybody come back to Daath and I'm not there?

[ video ]

[magentarific]

Well describe what's around you and I'll come get you.

[ video ]

[positivelycharged]

Well, um. I'm at this really tall building...and there's another building over there... [after a moment's pause he tries picking up the book and showing off the surroundings.]

[ video ]

[magentarific]

[ She's definitely grateful for the video tour, since his descriptions weren't helping. ]

I'll be over in a bit. If anyone asks, you're waiting for Yurippe.

action;

[gleamed]

Great! Once your hair is long enough, I'll be more than happy to teach you what I know.

[I know, right?]

[ video ]

[positivelycharged]

Okay. I'll wait right here.

[and he obediently settles himself back down on the ground.]

[ action ]

[magentarific]

[ In about ten minutes time, the same girl that was on the video comes around looking for him, peeking around corner and stuff until she spots him. ]

Hey!

action;

[positivelycharged]

Thanks! I hope it grows really fast, and then I can learn to do all sorts of things with it.

[filter - 80%]

[seleniahymn]

Ah, that's right. You're rather good at that game. [So almost the same time as she, give or take a few days. Whether that made things easier or not was up in the air.]

You're outside, aren't you? Is there anything you'll want for later or are searching for?

[ action ]

[positivelycharged]

[he almost jumps at that, but--oh, it's that girl. florian gives her a tentative wave.]

Are you the girl in the book?
