[action]

[Having woken up by his lonesome in the middle of the forest, Birdy has taken to the skies to try finding his missing comrades from above. When that proves fruitless, he touches down in the village proper in order to interrogate a resident.

That resident may very well be your character, and they will be greeted with a rather brusque:]

Oi, where the hell is this place?

[voice]

[Later, after having learned the basics of Luceti from someone, he'll fumble around with the journal.]

Is this thing on? Shout, Shirobon -- you guys out there? Bongo? Gangu? ...Professor?

[And while waiting for replies, he'll be flipping back through the more recent entries to see what else he can find out about his current predicament.]

Comments

[godbent]

Of course you haven't, you're probably new.

[ RUDE. But she backs off with a light pout and shrugs] Do you have a journal?

[feathersharp]

You mean this thing?

[Birdy takes out his journal from inside a pocket in his vest.]

[godbent]

Exactly that one! [And she points a finger at it, to poke it too] This journal will have plenty of information for you to learn more specifics. But to start, you're on a different planet and probably in a different dimension from wherever you were before. You're also inside an enclosure.

[feathersharp]

What planet is this, then?

[He's not addressing that dimensional bit just yet. Best to start with the simpler things.]

[godbent]

We don't actually know the name of the planet, but this enclosure is called Luceti.

[feathersharp]

How could you not know what the name of this planet is?

[Well, to be fair, Luceti did look pretty remote, but...]

[godbent]

Because people were just taken here and we've been deliberately misinformed about a lot of things over the years.

[feathersharp]

[Years? Birdy doesn't like the sound of that.]

Yeah? How long have you been here for?

[godbent]

...Personally, five years now.

[ No, a little more. She crosses her arms, a bit more of a frown now ]

[feathersharp]

Five years?

[Ain't no-Birdy got time for that!]

[godbent]

Yeah. And the longest people here have been here for six.

[feathersharp]

And no one's managed to escape in all that time?

[godbent]

No, not yet. [ ... ] People do go back to their homes sometimes, of course, not a specific escape.

[feathersharp]

How?

[godbent]

Randomly. The world pulls people here randomly and, randomly, sometimes people go back.

[feathersharp]

[Speaking of random, Birdy's flipping through the journal now, checking it out.]

You said there was information in this journal?

[Easier than trying to address the incredulity of what Haruhi's just said.]

[godbent]

There is. Just flip around to look for the Guide, it'll be linked in there somewhere. Not to mention all the other posts on there.

[ Or she could find it. ...

... Either way, what is she poked the beak. Or tried t]

[feathersharp]

[Well, at least now Birdy has a place to start. Though, at a glance, a lot of these posts looked pretty banal, but if he was going to be stuck here for a while, then -- ]

Oi! [Jumping back again from Haruhi's curious finger.] What is your problem?!

[Stop trying to molest him, woman! Gosh, it's like she's never seen an avian before.

(oh wait)]

[godbent]

Your beak is right there?! I've never touched an alien or mutant or whatever beak before!

[ She practically whined in a way entirely unbecoming of her age ]

[feathersharp]

Like I care about that kinda thing!

[And so he may have, uh. Just turned around and ragequit the conversation, taking off into the skies again. Sorry about that, Haruhi; he tends to be rude like that.]

[godbent]

[ OH!!! lame. She even whines down here on the ground. Whine. Later ]
