1st sketch - [audio]

--nder what this does... hey, is this recording? Woah, this is a journal that can record things? Even if I don't know what the heck is going on, that is so cool! So, um, can anyone tell me why I woke up with no shirt on? It... it's a little embarrassing, and I feel really exposed--hey, I have wings! What the...?! People don't really wake up with

Welcome to Luceti. Be careful with those wings, they're vital to your health.

And I'm afraid to say you can't go home.

I can get messages with this, too? Wow, this really is a neat book!

The wings are vital to my health? Is it all right if I ask how? My shoulders kinda hurt, too... is that due to the wings, too? Sorry, I'm asking too many questions, aren't I? Oops, there I go again...

Wait, I can't go home? But I have to!

It's the main source of communication here, capable of receiving and sending messages via voice, video, or text. You can also filter your videos to and from others.

I can't really explain it myself, but they're a part of your body now and you'll become ill if you even pluck off the feathers. But you'll feel some soreness for the first days as the wings were just attached on. And no worries, questions are the key to understanding.

I'm afraid you can't; there's no known way out of here. But if it's any sort of consolation, time moves differently here. No matter how long you remain here, time won't move back home.

That's really cool!

They must be really important, then. And all right, as long as you aren't annoyed by my questions.

If time doesn't pass, then maybe it'll be okay! I'll try to make the best of this.

[[And Viki barely follows all of that.]]

Oh, you're not home anymore. This is Luceti! When you get here, they give you wings! They're really neat, but you have to be careful, cuz if you hurt them, it'll hurt you a lot!

[sketchingideals]

Luceti? That's a nice name.

I'll be sure to be careful, then! Getting hurt won't do any good!

There's really no way home...?

[blinkingusalong]

Oh... not yet... I can't even teleport myself home!

But there's a lot of nice people here. So while you're here you can make a lot of new friends! You can look at it that way!

[sketchingideals]

You can teleport usually? That sounds really neat!

Yeah, that's what I'm going to try to do! Making new friends wouldn't do any harm as long as I keep the old ones at heart too, right?

Listen closely. You've been kidnapped. You're a long way from home, and you won't be going back any time soon. Our abductors are a group of sadistic women with bad taste who watch our every move through these journals and a variety of hidden cameras all throughout the enclosure. By broadcasting this message, you've already fallen into their trap.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

[A pause.]

Trap? Sadistic women?! [Another pause, as if he's taking a moment to try and recompose himself.] ...what should I do?

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

[What an easily trusting fellow. Loki's expression grows disbelieving, but he continues on.] You should head toward the village, but be wary of all women who cross your path. They may offer advice and directions, but there's a high possibility that they'll try to steal your pants too.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

All right...! [Sounds more than a bit uncomfortable.]

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

So this is how you play back audio on the journal system. And what a post to come across... Sounds like another of the Malnosso's victims just woke up.]

Oh ho ho! You're not the only one in a rush to get back to your home, you know.

[Hopefully that reply got through. This computer isn't like one Eggman generally uses.]

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

[A surprised gasp is heard. Looks like Eggman's laugh startled him a bit.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was!

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

[Eggman is somewhat happy to have startled this person.]

Ha ha ha! Relax, kid. I'm hardly offended!

Unfortunately, you might be trapped here for quite some time.

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

Yeah... that's what people tell me.

I'm going to make the most of it, though!
