Woo! Well, this was a bit unexpected! I told that clown doctor that wasn't a smart test to run. I feel a bit throttled right now! The carousel's pretty though. Hunh. Horsies.

Okay, sitting here staring at the pretty horsies will do me absolutely no good, so let's see what I can find out! Let's see, this is clearly a device that hooks up to

Welcome to the City. It's difficult to explain, but you've left your world and been pulled into a crossroads, of sorts, for multiple universes. Unfortunately it's rather difficult to leave. I'd suggest reading the guide posted here. And be wary of the curses, we're due for another either tonight or tomorrow. We rarely go too long without one.

[victoryfanfare]

Curses? Ah, thank you! I appreciate that guide. This seems a little... too surreal, if you don't mind the expression?

[urbandev]

I don't mind at all. It's actually quite apt, I'm afraid.

Reeve Tuesti, by the way.

[victoryfanfare]

...wow, that sucks that it is.

Nice to meet ya, Reeve! I'm Laguna Loire! How long, ah, have you been here?

[redstrength]

You're new too...

You're in the City. It's... not where you can go back to where you're from.

[victoryfanfare]

Caught me!

How so?

[redstrength]

Well... The City brings people here from different worlds, and you can't really find a way out. It lets you go back home when it wants.

[victoryfanfare]

That's... a little depressing, honestly. How long have you been here, then?

[swallowmyseed]

M-MR. LOIRE?!

[victoryfanfare]

...HEY! I KNOW YOU.

Is there anyone else here? I mean--uh--did you bring anyone or anything?

[victoryfanfare]

Whoa! Slow down! It's okay, I swear! Where are you, kiddo?

No, no one, unfortunately. Last I remember, Ward and I were in Dr. Odine's laboratory. He was doing something weird in regards to... hell, I fell asleep through part of it, but I know it was really stupid.

[theotokos]

Clown doctor?

[victoryfanfare]

Clown doctor.

[theotokos]

I hope that isn't literal.

[victoryfanfare]

He looks like a serious clown. He wears this stupid collar, and if it isn't a clown collar, then someone's seriously trying to keep him from licking himself.

[finetuner]

Netiquette...? Heeheehee.

Hi, sir! I just arrived here today too!

[victoryfanfare]

That's... is that a good thing? I guess it is from the respect that neither of us are alone!

Who're you, hon?

[finetuner]

Yes, that's right. Um, it's always nice...to visit new places? I-I wish I hadn't left so many things unresolved, though.

I'm Kururu Sumeragi!

[victoryfanfare]

Unresolved, huh? I can empathize, hon. ...ah. Maybe this is a fresh new start?

Kururu! That's a fun name!
