[Distant mumbling can be heard from the journal.] Nnn, it's chilly this morning... eh? What am I doing outside?

[There's a short pause. Then, a gasp.]

I... I'm back. I'm alive, I...!

[The voice grows louder as whoever is speaking approaches the journal. The voice sounds a little anxious.] Hello? Is someone there? I'm not sure where I've been dropped off. This could be any part of the forest... oh! There's the river!

[There's a soft rustling noise, followed by the pitter-patter of hurried footsteps.] House 1... shouldn't be too far from here... ah, I can see the village now! [The voice cuts off with a soft click as the journal is closed.]

[For those walking around the village, you may notice a certain green-haired new feather quickly making his way through the village with a big smile on his face, as though he knows exactly where he needs to be. He didn't know how long he'd been gone, but just in case, he had to check his old home. Feel free to stop him for a chat! And for those of you in House 1, expect a sudden house guest~]

[Dist? Having regular clothes? Madness! But all it takes is a quick peek at his room down the hall to realize he'll have to take up that offer. The entire room is bare... is this what happened when someone is sent home?]

It seems like I'll have to... I hope he won't mind.

You'll be returning it. And I believe one of his jobs is to take orders from you, isn't it?

[Except this Fon Master was too busy being kidnapped by said God-generals to actually have any authority over them... but he really wasn't sure how much Nephry knew in regards to all of that.]

That's a good point. Is he in right now? I'd hate to interrupt him if he's working on something... [Because he has done this before and the last thing he wants to do on his first day back in Luceti is make an Angry Dist.]

I'm not sure. He always leaves his door closed, home or not. ...I don't think he will mind if you knock.

[He nods before heading back down the hall towards Dist's room, knocking to check if the man was in. When he didn't get a reply, he went ahead and let himself in so he could find something. Moments later, he returns wearing a plain white button-up shirt. ~~Which he still can't believe Dist owns~~.]

That's better. This should do until I have a chance to go find some clothes at the shops later.

He wasn't home, then?

No, he must be out right now... I take it Anise and Peony are as well?

Anise is. ...His Majesty has returned to Auldrant.

...oh. Nephry, I... I'm sorry.

Thank you, Fon Master, but it's all right. He's back where he belongs and isn't subject to any more strange things here.

Yes, that's true. His place is with his people, after all.

Yes. And his pets.

[Oh, how could he forget the pets! But that did raise the question:] ...so who's taking care of his pets here?

Much like real rappigs might, they tend to take care of themselves.

[[ooc: ...Never did work that out.]]

That's certainly convenient.

So, is there anything else that's happened that I should know about? You mentioned it being busy these past few weeks...

[[ooc: They probably live off table scraps and then secretly sleep in Dist's room because they know how much he loves them~ B)]]

...There was a very serious earthquake at the beginning of last month. The tunnels beneath the village all collapsed.

[He doesn't say anything right away, but his expression should say it all.]

...was it an experiment or...? Was everyone all right? [He probably realizes the answer to this already.]

They said it wasn't an experiment. I...think that for the most part, things were fine.

...This house was... Things didn't start repairing themselves for almost another two weeks.

Two weeks? That must have been horrible...

We managed.

That's a relief... I only hope something like that doesn't happen again. [Experiments were bad enough without something else going on and disturbing everything!]

Yes, so do I.
