[ and hello completely foreign world that asbel has never known about until he found himself in the middle of you.

at first all that can be seen is a house. a regular, decent sized house with two floors -- all made out of pillows. it's quite possibly one of the most bizarre things the young lord had ever seen in his life, and that was saying a lot.

before long a pair of confused blue and purple eyes peeks into the screen itself, blinking once or twice before it pulls back to show a young man with a bewildered look on his face.]

So we're really supposed to live in these? I'm really not dreaming am I...this sure brings me back.

[ a hand goes to the back of his head before he straightens slightly, hesitantly offering a friendly, still slightly puzzled smile. ]

Ah well..hello, everyone! My name is Asbel Lhant, and it seems like I'm as stuck as the rest of you guys are. Could I get an estimate of how many of us there are right now? I know we're in these different 'districts' but I think it'd be useful if we could all look out for each other, you know?

It's true I don't really know very much, but I'd like to help out however I can. But before that..

[ a pause ]

Is anyone here from a planet called Ephinea? It's the name of my world. In particular I'm looking for a girl named Sophie. Her hair's really long and purple and um..she wears it like this.

[ as if he knows girl's hair man, he'll be making the allusion of pigtails with his hands on top of his head. real mature, asbel. ]

If you find her, could you please let me know as soon as possible? I don't want her wandering around by herself. Also if you guys have figured anything out about this place I could use the information. The more I know the more I can help out, right?

Thanks for listening.

[ the feed clicks. ]

[ action; ]

[ after that little thing you'll find asbel in front of a pillow house; the same one in the video, poking at it confusedly while keeping an eye out for whoever walks by. after inspecting it a little, he looks around ]

Shouldn't I be paying for this..? Can I even live in something made out of pillows? ~~What if the food is made out of pillows?!~~

They could have planned it out a little better..I wonder what we'll do if this happens? Hopefully we won't be here for that long.

[ even if pillow forts, man..pillow forts..]

Oh? So you're stuck too, huh? Where are you located?

[She nods.] I agree. I'd really rather not be here any longer than I have to.

It's a district called Lochwell. There's a castle nearby it, and I believe it's where our hosts supposedly live.

A castle? That isn't so unfamiliar. Not to me, anyway. So if you're here, that means you can travel around, right?

Maybe I could go talk to the Queen!

[ a pause, and a friendly smile ]

I don't think we've met before. Mine's Asbel, what's yours?

[ he already said it but one-on-one introductions still mean something! ]

Oh, I was thinking the same thing actually! I wonder if she would be more willing to listen to two people with the same complaint? [Though honestly everyone here probably had the same complaint...]

My name is Estellise. [a beat] Oh, but you can call me Estelle!

[Her nickname is still kind of new to her, but she likes it a lot already.]

It's worth a shot, you know? I don't see why we shouldn't.

[ that's a definite encouragement right there. smiling, he tilts his head. ]

It's good to meet you Estelle, despite -- well, being lost and everything. Though I guess I should just be glad everyone seems to be safe.

[a nod] Even if it doesn't work out, at least we can say we tried.

You're right. Aside from keeping us trapped here, it seems like our captors have no intention of actually hurting us.

I wonder why they brought us at all? It doesn't seem like they're lacking in people who live here..

We'll figure it out!

I wonder... Maybe they wanted more people to live here? I don't think this is the best way to go about it though.

But why? Don't they have their own people? It doesn't make any sense..then again..

[ a pointed glance at the pillow house behind him ]

So where are you originally from, Estelle? I heard everyone's from different worlds. I might not have believed it before but..

[ that's what tales adventures are for ]

[nothing makes sense here asbel NOTHING!!!]

Oh, me? I'm from a place called Terca Lumireis. It's a little hard to believe that people are from different worlds her, but I think it's pretty exciting too!
