This whole thing is giving me a weird feeling, but I can't figure it out.

Experiment or no experiment, I think we need a more organized patrol schedule again. Any takers?

[Someone looks a little lost.]

[corrinesbell]

[oh man]

Uh...hey?

[Maybe she can help! Trying not to look at the chest either, ffff. Tweeny hormones. He gives a polite bow.]

Good afternoon.

[corrinesbell]

[out of habit, she bows back]

You look kinda lost. [hey. Hey hey hey her eyes are up here.]

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

[YES YES, his eyes go up. Thankfully, they manage to stay up, too.]

I can't find the academy.

[corrinesbell]

Academy? ...Which Academy?

[let's play along. Kid Kratos is kind of adorable]

The royal academy of Meltokio. Haven't you heard of it?

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah, sorta. But you're a long way from Meltokio.

[He tenses, one hand moving to rest on the hilt of this sword... even if it's a wooden sword.]

...Am I in Sylvarant?

[corrinesbell]

H-Hey! I don't wanna fight you. No, you're not in Sylvarant.

[He takes another look around... then loosens his grip.]

...I'd hope you're not lying to me.

[corrinesbell]

This is Luceti and I don't think you're gonna be here for all that long.

[Blink blink.]

How'd I get here? I was heading to the academy...

[corrinesbell]

I dunno. It's an experiment. ...Uh, but you're not the one being experimented on. We are.

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

Experimented on...?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. ...Here, look.

[shows her wings]

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

[...fff, he's gaping.]

Goddess of Mana...

[corrinesbell]

They're not angel wings!

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

Then what are they?

[corrinesbell]

In this world there's a bunch of people that stole a bunch of other people from their own worlds to use as experiments. If you've got wings like this it makes you one of the experiments.

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

Then that means... you're an experiment.

Just like the half-elves...

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I am.

...How old're you?

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

Oh... I'm twelve. I'm almost thirteen. Why?

[corrinesbell]

They were experimenting on half-elves even back then?

[strivingknight.livejournal.com]

Back then...?
