[There's a voice appearing over the journals, though she's not sure how to really work the journal just yet.]

Is this...? Oh, no, I don't think so--

[A pair of green eyes might flash on the video screen for a moment, as Cecilia fiddles with the journal.]

Oh, oh! There we are, I think--

Um, hello? Oh, I think it's working now! [A pause.]

So, was what happened during the last week one of those "experiments" I have been informed about? I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like it before. Have there been any that aren't so... terrible?


[After her post, she will be walking over to the library, and staying there until closing, a stack of books next to her. Will she be finding a secret porn stash? You decide.]

No, they're usually always terrible.

[Usually, because even he has to admit that he had a couple that he liked.]

[teardropshaman]

None have been nice, then? Or rather, nicer than what I just witnessed?

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Well... a couple of them have been better. But there are many more that have been worse.

[teardropshaman]

That's what I've been hearing. Fairy tales don't sound too bad, but the moon falling? They really do that to you?

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Yes, that really happened. Many were afraid at the time that it truly might destroy the village for good.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

That sounds terrible! They do it on purpose, to scare everyone here? They're no better than those we left in our home, those that seek to take it over.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, so your world was under a dangerous threat at one time, as well. That seems common here.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

It still is. I am a bit worried that they might be doing terrible things while we're stuck here. Do you know if that's true, if time moves while we're here?

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Perhaps it's more that we're the ones living in a place outside of time. Should you return home, it'll be to the exact place and moment that you left.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

Oh, that's a relief! I'm glad to know that. We left our world in something that... well, it wasn't good.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

I understand. My own world went through an experience like that. I hope for your world's sake that you can return to save it.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

I'm sure we can. We have to. I want Filgaia to be green again.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

That must have been something very terrible to put your world in such a state.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

...yes, but if all goes well, we'll be able to stop it. That's what I'm hoping, at least.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Give it your all and you surely won't fail. I've seen it happen firsthand, so I know that saving the world is possible under these circumstances.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

We won't fail. We can't.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Determination like that will bring you a long way.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

I'm determined to save everyone. I hope it's enough to do what we need.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

It sounds like you'll manage it.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

I hope so. I'd like a world without too much conflict, if it's possible.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

It might take some conflict to get to that peace... as strange as that probably sounds.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

I know it will. It already has. I've lost people dear to me, and almost lost people dear to me. I don't want more of that.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Then you must keep fighting to prevent that from happening.

[Written]

[teardropshaman]

...you're right. Thank you.

I don't think I got your name.

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

Ah, right. I'm Kain Highwind.
