[Accidental voice]

[beardpuddle]

[The first sound is that of a person- an old man, from the sound of it- muttering to himself.]

This is surely not the Blue Planet... nor the work of the crystals. What power could have drawn me here from the moon?

[Then he begins to speak more clearly.]

Ah, then it is a communication device. And since it appeared with me, I assume that there is

[Gasp. That's not a voice she ever expected to hear again.]

Fusoya?!?

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

Rydia? Ah, then I am not the only one drawn here.

[Ignoring that there shock. He is supposed to be on the moon, after all.]

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

No--hardly not. There's an entire village of people in this general area, as well as Cecil and Golbez, and...well, we'll get to that.

What do you see around you?

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

Cecil and Golbez are here as well? [He's rather pleased to hear about both his nephews. But there are other things to be addressed.] What reason could there be to draw such a large number of people?

A wooded area. I am afraid I can give no more description than that.

[voice] 1/2

[puppet_paladin]

There is indeed. A village's worth of us, in fact. This land is called Luceti, and the wings-

[puppet_paladin]

[...Wait. Waiiiiit.]

That voice... Fusoya? Uncle?

[voice]

[beardpuddle]

Cecil. Yes, it is I.

Luceti, you called it?

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

But how-

[No, explaining this is more important.]

Yes. It is a cage, one that keeps us at the mercy of a group called the Malnosso. All who are brought here now bear wings, as you must have realized.

[dragoon_pride]

Wait, but you're... Are you real?

[Forgive the weird question, Kain is just used to random people and things from home showing up as hallucinations. Ah, experiments.]

[Written]

[beardpuddle]

[That is a slightly strange question, yes.]

I am. Is there a reason I would not be?

[Written]

[dragoon_pride]

It's complicated. This is the first anyone from our world has arrived in a while...

[Written]

[beardpuddle]

What others have arrived?

[Voice]

[cladinthedark]

As I see you have already been made aware, there are indeed many hearing your words.

[With his armor gone, Golbez's smile is easy to see.] Though I am distressed that you have been entrapped here as well, it is good to see you again, Fusoya.

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

I have learned, yes. This is unlike any Lunarian technology that I know.

[Oh? A smile, for Golbez? This is certainly a special occasion. He's touched, nephew.]

There was no way to prevent it, unfortunately. I was not prepared. The only thing left to do is to find a way that might be used to escape.

Though you speak as though it has been some time since you have seen me.

[Voice]

[cladinthedark]

Yes, nothing I've ever seen has prepared me for what the Malnosso can do. These "shifts" they utilize baffle me.

[First time he's seen his uncle in almost three years. He's beside himself.]

That would be a universal goal among those imprisoned here. Regrettably, in several years time little progress has been made.

I, personally, have witnessed slightly over two and a half of those years. I am certain that to your perception I was with you on Luna not long ago, but for me... [He shrugs.] Such is a power either of the Malnosso, or of this world itself.

[Voice]

[beardpuddle]

If their powers could take me unawares in the midst of the Crystal Palace, I indeed respect their ability, though I disagree with how it is used.

Has anything of particular note happened in that time? [He's noticed that lack of armor there, Golbez.]

A power of the world itself? An interesting theory... perhaps there exists some force similar to the crystals with the ability to do such things.

[OOC: for=from. I am making way too many typos right now. >.<]

[lunarianlegacy]

Oh the wings? Yeah don't try to take them off. If you lose them you could die.

[Ceodore's trying to be helpful with someone who's obviously a New Feather.]

voice

[beardpuddle]

They function as a vital organ? How strange.

[And there's something familiar about that voice, even if he's never heard it specifically before. The image of Ceodore the journal provides also gives strong hints, but he'll wait a moment before giving voice to his suspicion.]

voice

[lunarianlegacy]

As long as you're careful with them, you should be okay.

[His are safely stowed under modified armor where they can't be hurt... or seen.]

Everyone here has them.

voice

[beardpuddle]

It is only slightly less difficult then other manners of causing harm, yet one wonders what the purpose behind them is.

[Have fun with this, Ceodore. :D]

Are you of Lunarian heritage, boy?
