[It takes hours after his arrival for Ildon to even touch the device given to him. Hours more to figure out how to properly use it. Like many of his race, he had an intense dislike for machinery bordering somewhere near outright hatred. However, he wasn't so blind as to not realize that this was the only method of communication available to him at

dude we're all trapped here.
waving around your +1 sword of compensation isn't going to get you home.
if anyone here knew the way out we'd be the first ones gone.

[text] - 1 hour later. He's never used a machine in his life. /sob

Are you capable of providing useful information in a format that is legible?

[Allen's gotten very used to people showing up armed with swords, but it's been a while since anyone looked ready to actually use them. He holds his hands up in an calming gesture, wearing a smile that's friendly enough, but not overly so to avoid seeming suspicious.]

None of us are going to come at you, sir, but I'm afraid there isn't a location to be disclosed either. As the others have already said, there aren't any portals here.

[phantasm_knight]

[Lowers his sword, giving Allen an appraising look. White hair, uniform - now this one probably was from the Kingdom of Magic even if the robes were all wrong. He lowers his sword a fraction, his way of saying he's listening at the very least]

Then answer me this question, boy. How did the rest of you get here if you did not travel via portal?

It's Allen, sir.

[Offering his name in a show of goodwill. It doesn't always have the desired effect, but he sees no harm in making the attempt.]

Like you [ the slightest pause to let that register ], we were brought here against our will. This place is an abandoned city called Nesreca, located in a version of a world called Earth.

[looseleafbook]

Wish it was magic, then we might have a chance of getting out of here.

[phantasm_knight]

Are you implying that this region is devoid of magic?

[That would explain quite a fair number of things actually]

[looseleafbook]

Not saying that. Just that it's not as bit and powerful as you might be used to is all.

[phantasm_knight]

[Raises his sword up a little more defensively. What do you presume to know about his world? Suspicious glare is suspicious]

And how would you know what I am used to, boy?

[killedyuu]

I dunno of any portals...

[Squinting at the screen] Is your hair green?

[video]

[phantasm_knight]

...

[Excuse the awkward silence. What did you just ask him?]

[Said a bit slowly, as if he's wondering if this is somehow a trap or a trick question] Yes.

[video]

[killedyuu]

[....hea..dtilting...]

How come your hair is green?

[video]

[phantasm_knight]

[... He doesn't know! That's just the color it was when he was reborn as a Mystic. Though considering his lover and his student both have green hair, it must be a popular color. Or in style. Or something]

I was born that way.

[Lowering his sword just a bit. Was that really what the kid was fixated on?]

Does it matter?

[lilyofscarlet]

If there is a portal, it is probably in the town next door.

Going there is unadvised.

[phantasm_knight]

And why would that be?
