first draw - Where am I?

[selphie_t]

What the heck happened to me? One moment, I'm sleeping in my bed, minding my own business and then I wake up and find myself in a forest.

If this is some kind of joke, somebody's got a lot of explaining to do. My shoulders are sore, my clothes and nunchaku are gone but this white dress isn't bad at all I suppose.

But seriously, if this is a joke, somebody's in for a world of trouble!

Ain't no joke, miss. You're in a place called Luceti.

Couple of things: no one really knows what we're doin' here; the place is run by some people callin' themselves Malnosso, and they do crazy things to us like makin' us fall in love with strangers.

Other than that, it's pretty borin'. Not much goes on when we're not bein' messed with.

That aside, the reason your shoulders are sore is because you've been given wings. Can't tell you why, though, sorry.

Luceti...?

Wait... like experiments?

Pretty boring? Okay!

Whoa whoa whoa, hang on...

[Here's a pause while Selphie checks herself for injuries.]

I do have wings! They could've been nicer about it though...

[theskyforme.livejournal.com]

That's its name. And yeah, experiments. You don't want to know too much about those; not that anyone knows anythin' about those anyway.

They could have, but don't think they're capable of bein' nice.

So what do I do then? It's looks like there's other people here but I dunno where they are...

Well maybe they should learn!

[theskyforme.livejournal.com]

Well, first of all, you can tell me where you are. There a river nearby, or buildings?

Since they don't show their faces where we can see them, that's easier said than done.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... let me take a look... I don't see any people around... I'm in the mountains and there's a stream nearby. And there's mountains in the background too.

What a bummer.

Ain't no joke. If it was, the punchline's a long time coming.

This book can talk? Really? That's so cool!

I kinda got that impression from the first guy.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Yeah. "Surprise".

Oh good. He can haul your ass back to town instead.

[Voice]

[Shouted somewhat loudly at the book.]

I can walk you know!

[Voice]

[hageshii]

[Oi. Loud kids.]

People tend to get lost in the woods.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[He has no idea.]

Who the heck said I was gonna get lost?

[That's a lie from the Queen of Directionally Challenged.]

[Voice]

[hageshii]

You just did.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna get lost!

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Oh good. Because I'm beside myself with concern.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I can tell right away.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Glad to hear it. Nothing worse than ambiguity in a conversation.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know right?

[Voice]

[hageshii]

So, I take if that you already found the handy guide to Luceti, looked at the map therein, used your surroundings for some kind of recognizable landmark, and are on your way to the village as we speak, eh?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Uh... I'm working on it?

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Right. Best of luck, kid.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I guess.

[Oh hey, recognizes that voice. She perks up.]

...Selphie?!

[Voice]

[hageshii]

No problem. Helping lost little girls is my weakness.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hello? Do I know you?
