[Raindrops falling from the sky and splashing down into the nearby river can be heard over the journal network. Someone talking very softly to himself can vaguely be heard over the sound of the rain.]

Where is this place...? Ah, there's buildings over there, I wonder if I should go there first...

[There is a pause as the boy in question stops and opens the journal. The the sound of pages turning mixes in with the rain alongside the quiet voice of someone who doesn't seem to realize the audio is turned on.]

Maybe... there's some information about this place in here...?

Actually, so far it seems a few of my friends are here!

[Pauses, realizing that might have not been the right thing to say.]

What about you...?

[voice]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, a friend of mine came here today! Even if we're stuck here, I'm glad...

[voice]

[distressedude]

Ah, I'm glad to hear it! Even if from the sounds of it, not being here at all would be preferable for some...

[voice]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

Um, Ion? What was your world like?

Re: [voice]

[distressedude]

My world?

...it was full of kind hearted people. In Auldrant, people lived their lives according to what we called the Score. It was a telling of the memories of the planet, from beginning to end. Although, before I came here, we had been trying to find a way to free people from the Score... after all, people should be allowed to live their lives the way they want to, not based on what they've been told will happen...

And now you're stuck in Luceti... I'm sorry, Ion, I shouldn't have asked.

Re: [voice]

[distressedude]

Oh, no, please don't be sorry! To be honest, coming here is... probably the best thing that could have happened, all things considered. Even if I were to leave here, I wouldn't be able to go back to Auldrant.

[voice]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[voice]

[distressedude]

Ah, well... [Way to talk without thinking, Ion.] Were I to go back to my world, I wouldn't be alive anymore.

[ Yellow's thinking she shouldn't have asked in the silence. Then, very softly, ]

Oh...

[voice] (Last post toniiight)

[distressedude]

[Feels bad, thinking he's needlessly upset someone who was probably already going through a lot...!]

I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't have said anything. But... I'm here now, and I'm alive now. And right now is all that matters.

Pl-Please don't apologise, it's not your fault. Um, I shouldn't have asked...

[voice]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Th-Then, coming here was a good thing for you, right?

[voice]

[distressedude]

Yes, I'd say it is. Even if that weren't the case, this place doesn't seem to be too bad, at least... [Clearly someone has no idea about the experiments.]

[voice]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Someone here doesn't either -- yet, anyway. ]

Yep!
