Her first concern

[tartswithtea]

Hello? Hello!

Oh heavens, the line does work, thank you! Alright, just... give me a moment to gather my barings once again. I'm used to being taken captive on the occasion, but NEVER have I been at peace and found myself swept away--then again, one is welcome to claim that the world really never is at peace. After all, it could just as easily be

You know, if you want information, perhaps you should just ask one question at a time and not ramble.

[tartswithtea]

This is a hostage situation! How are there questions involved here?

[time_shattered]

Hostage situation? Yes, you could think of it like that. Though, you're not the only one being held here against their will.

[tartswithtea]

I haven't seen anyone else... are you one as well?

[time_shattered]

Yes. While I don't know the exact number, many of the people who are here were also kidnapped.

[tartswithtea]

...A-A hostange situation you mean!

[time_shattered]

Though the reason why we're all being held here is unknown.

[tartswithtea]

Our captors haven't said? Isn't there some evidence? I'd rather like NOT to be here for too long, I have a country to run!

[time_shattered]

I haven't been here long, so I haven't found much evidence yet. Though, from what I can gather, mental torture seems a likely possibility.

[tartswithtea]

.....E-exCUSE me?

[time_shattered]

I wouldn't be surprised if this whole situation is merely for the sick amusement of our captors.

To put it simply, we're all assigned a fake family and the natives of this town treat us like we've lived here our whole lives, and that's already disconcerting enough.

[tartswithtea]

So... I take that's why these strange pictures are here, then?

[time_shattered]

That's correct. If you're fortunate, your fake family won't be composed of too many drones.

[tartswithtea]

Drones.... I see. Do you mind elaborating...?

[time_shattered]

They're the natives of this town. I believe they may be under some extreme form of brainwashing. Two of them were assigned to be my children, and they honestly think I'm their father.

[tartswithtea]

My...! Alright, that is a bit strange. They're not dangerous, I hope.
