001 [Action/Video]

[fabrecation]

[There's some irritated grumbling going on. Shuffle. Grumble. Shifting through leaves. Grumble. KICKING A TREE-]

Ow!

[... Grumble.

And now HI LUCETI, YOU'RE NOW SEEING THE BOTTOM OF SOMEONE'S FOOT. But it lifts up quickly, and in its place is a teenaged boy with short, scraggly red hair and green eyes staring curiously down at the journal. Aaand then it morphs an annoyed face.]

Man, this isn't even my journal... And where the hell did my shirt go?

[The person disappears and gives yet another grumble as he searches through some leaves... Then seems to resolve to find his way to the village, as his footsteps start to grow fainter and fainter. He may not know it, but he's going in the completely wrong direction of where he's supposed to go.]

[STOP, TURN AROUND. He doesn't recognize that voice so how does it know his name he doesn't even-AND WHERE IS IT COMING FROM]

Wh... What? What is it?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Do you... do you know who I am?

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

No...? [Oh god the forest is talking to him WHAT DOES HE DO]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[... of course. Of course Luke wouldn't remember him either... c'mon, Emil, keep it together.]

There... there should be a book around you somewhere.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Oh, that thing? Yeah, I just found it.

[He goes to it and picks it up, but doesn't bother looking at it. Instead, he looks up at the... trees, where he guesses this... forest spirit is.] Uh... Is it yours?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, that one belongs to you. I'm talking to you through my journal-- everyone in Luceti gets one when they arrive.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

[Oh, his journal? Sweet, his was filling u-

Wait a minute.]

Luceti?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Didn't anyone tell you? That's where we are now. We were brought here by... um, we were taken from our worlds and brought here to be used in experiments.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

[WHAT

Uhhh okay calm down Luke, obviously this forest spirit-er, person with the other journal is just playing with him or something.]

... H-Ha, jeez, you're almost as scary as a friend I know.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... I'm scary? I'm sorry...

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Yeah! I mean, you said that really seriously and everything! [... That reminds him: Jade never sent him a letter. That bitch.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I mean, I am serious, but... I didn't think I was being scary about it.

[As long as he doesn't think about the fact that Luke doesn't remember who he is, he's okay. Just... treat him the way you would any other New Feather...]

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

W-Wait... You weren't joking?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I wasn't. We really were brought here from our worlds.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

But- [ffff Luke don't raise your voice- You know what forget that, RAISING HIS VOICE] How is that even possible?!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I don't know, but some people have been here for almost three years, and...

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Three years?! [EMIL ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE HIM A HEART ATTACK]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Um, yes? I've been here for two myself.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

But- How do we get out of here, I need to get back!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... we can't. I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

... What?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

We can't go back home until they send us back.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

Who? Until who sends us back?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Until tha--

[Wait. Is he allowed to talk about that over the journals? He's not sure. Let's just be safe.]

... until the Malnosso send us back.

[Voice]

[fabrecation]

But what the hell do they need us for? They can't just hold us here against our will! [WAIT 'TIL ASCH'S- I mean, HIS DAD HEARS ABOUT THIS.]
