...Oh, this is very interesting. I wonder why they left me with a book? They must have not been kidnappers at all. Surely this is all an accident

[swordboning]

That's oddly specific...

[failuremage]

Perhaps I should have included a less specific question? I am interested in any cases, not simply the book I have on hand.

[swordboning]

Unless you broaden your search description, I don't think you're going to find anything like that here.

[failuremage]

There is nothing here relying on stealing souls, then? That is a relief.

[eidolon_soul]

That's an interesting idea, but no, the journal is not powered through such means.

...as far as I know.

I'm Rydia of Mist and we -along with many others- have been brought to Luceti. I can explain further, but first--do you need assistance? I wouldn't want you to freeze out here.

[failuremage]

It is a relief to know that. I am Isa, Visimetuo of bad fortune, I hope today finds you well. And yes, since I was not expecting such weather, and this clothing is poor protection. It would be much appreciated.

[eidolon_soul]

What can you tell me about your surroundings? Are you in the forest, perhaps? Do you see the river?

[failuremage]

Yes, it appears to be a forest. My own woodcraft has failed, since I do not know the nature of this country. But I feel no rivers nearby.

[boomchucka]

This is Luceti and I don't think the journal is powered like that. If it were... I think a lot less people would use it.

[failuremage]

I'm most pleased to hear that.

[boomchucka]

What made you think that anyway?

[failuremage]

I could not perceive the source of energy for this journal.

[folkloristic]

You're speaking of binding a...soul to an inanimate object? [ That makes him shiver a little. ] The Malnosso are cruel but I don't think even they would do such a thing, so, no it's nothing like that at all.

As for where you are this is Luceti.

[failuremage]

It is the worst thing one can do to a once living being, in my own opinion, so I am pleased it is not the case in this town.

[folkloristic]

I certainly have to agree. Why anyone would do such a thing however is beyond me. [ He'll give a small hum before continuing. ]

You'll find Luceti to be a...rough fit the first few months. But you'll get used to it after awhile, the people here are very willing to offer assitance.

[failuremage]

I do not mind enduring hardship. And some will seek the advantages of any technology for victory over their enemies, uncaring of the cost to those they trample in achieving it.

[seiriald]

Forsaken souls? That's not a very nice thing to say.

[failuremage]

I did not mean to offend. Any soul thus treated can only be considered forsaken by fate and luck as well as humanity, that they would receive such cruelty.

[seiriald]

Being stuck in a book where you could at least talk to other people and they'll listen? I don't really think that's cruelty. [Not to her anyway.]

[failuremage]

There is no kindness in tearing the mind and the heart from someone's body, and draining the essence of their souls for twisted needs.
