--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

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.

[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]

[minimonsterdad]

No, of course I'm lying!!

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

Why would you do that?

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

It's hard not to react to that kind of oblivion...

In any case, I wasn't lying about a couple things. First, about the fact that you've been kidnapped. [In a way.] Second, that you'd do best to head toward the village.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

It's not like I try to be...! [Clears his throat.]

Well, I guess I'd have to be kidnapped to wake up in a place like this with wings on my back! I'll head to the village, thanks... mm... what's your name?

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

Loki.

Another scenario would be that you've died and gone to heaven, but this would make a poor paradise indeed.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

Nice to meet you, Loki!

I think I'll just go with the first scenario. I mean, the one that isn't about sadistic women...!

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

I don't doubt that there are women of that sort around here, but most people here are harmless.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

Hahaha... that's good to know!

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

... But don't be too trusting, Jeb. This place has its own small share of unsavory people.

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

...

I'll try not to be.
