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.]

[silversnowfall]

I'm...I'm in my house. Where are you?

[She thinks he remembers.]

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[... She's in KETERBURG? Then how is she even talking to him?]

I'm... in a forest, but it's not snowing or anything! It doesn't even feel cold!

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

It shouldn't. It's still summer here.

...Ah...wait. Where exactly do you think you should be?

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[... AUGH HE'S CONFUSED. Thus he sounds pretty unsure of himself as he speaks.]

I was... supposed to be on the ferry heading to Daath.

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

[...That's pretty obviously not true anymore then, is it? It would be different if he thought he was somewhere on Auldrant but...temperate.]

I'm not sure I know an easier way to say most of this. ...Mm, do you see a village nearby? Or hear people?

[voice]

[fabrecation]

N-No... I just see a bunch of leaves and trees.

... Nephry, where am I?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

[A half-defeated sigh]

You're in Luceti.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

Luceti? Is that some kind of island? Did I do a quasi hyperresonace somehow...?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

It's...not quite that simple. This is another world.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... [CALM DOWN LUKE. This is Jade's sister. Maybe she picked up on his NOT FUNNY trolling habits?]

Sometimes you're as scary as your brother, Nephry...

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

[That was last week.]

I'm not...I'm being serious, Luke.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

Really? I...

[Hold up, now the realization is starting to hit him.

...

...

...



WHAT]

Another world?!

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

Calm down.

[No more information until you do.]

[voice]

[fabrecation]

But- What happened, Nephry? Did I screw up again?!

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

No. It's nothing you did.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

Then- Why are we here?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

That's...mm. [That's the question of the ages, isn't it?]

You should have a book nearby. It's where my voice is coming from.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

A book?

[... OH RIGHT. That book he passed up! Luke will just rush on over there because he feels so overwhelmingly alone right now and he needs some kind of voice.]

How did you get in there?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

I'm not in here. It's a communication device.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... Oh! Like one of those... [Uh. What was it?] ... things?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

Ah...yes. Like one of those things.

[Sure. She might know what he means, and she might not.]

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[WELL HE'LL THINK SHE DOES because he doesn't want to explain himself.]

I didn't know you could do that with books! Or is it just this one?

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

These books specifically. Your name should be on the front of this one.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[brb checking. And hey, what do you know?] Hey, you're right!

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

It's how the people in this village can all communicate with each other. Anything you write in it can be read by anyone else with a book.
