01 ♪ video/action ♪ wake up sleepyhead!
[The feed shows a nice view of absolutely nothing. There is, however, the sound of someone spitting. Very lovely. He just woke up with a mouthful of dead rotting leaves. His day is off to a great freaking start, that's what.]
Ugh, nasty! Ow--... ow... ow. [Don't let the nonchalance fool you. He's realizing he's alive. Taking in a deep breath, and letting it out.
He's alive.
... And also FREEZING COLD. But wait until he finds a way home! This is impossible, but maybe-- just maybe--]
Hahah... jeez, it's c-c-cold. Am I in K-Keterburg or something?
-- Hey, what's...
[And here's when he brushes the journal off. Hello, there's a half-naked redhead getting up close and personal, and turning it upside down, and then shaking it out a bit. What is this strange and mystifying technology? It sure as hell isn't his journal.]
Weird.
[Feeling something tickle his shoulder, he reaches over to brush it off. And then he notices the wings, red with gold tips just like his hair. He has wings. This is not a drill. Luke drops the journal in favor of screaming like the grown man he isn't.]
W-what the hell is going on!?
[NO LUKE DON'T PULL ON THOSE--] —OW! [Yeah, that hurt more than anything else in his life. Now he's curled up over his knees again, trying not to cry. He almost blacked out there.]
G-guess they're real...

In the village, right? I'll get there... eventually.
[Eventually. For now, he's just trying to sit tight and wait for his friends.]
Does the village have a name?
Re: [video]
[Really, 'village' was sort of misleading at times, considering they were more like an enclosed human experimentation facility in function sometimes.]
[video]
I could've guessed the wings aren't the only weird part.
-- Oh, sorry. I asked you all these questions without introducing myself... I'm Luke.
[video]
Fayt. Good to meet you, Luke.
[video]
Nice to meet you, too.
[He might as well ask.]
Um... how long have you been here?
[video]
Over a year now. [Yeaaaah.]
Time people stuck around here varies a lot, from a few months to several years.
[video]
That's... a really long time.
[He feels pretty good, not like he's going to disappear at any moment. And if Asch is here, then maybe everything's okay in that regard. Still, he should probably talk to Jade about it, when he's more settled in.]
No one's found a way to leave?
[video]
He'd had the luck of being able to raid some bedsheets when he first arrived, though.]
Not yet. But someday we will, you know? We just need an opening.
[video]
[Like they're always on guard. What a way to live. And yet --]
So no one's given up yet. That's a relief.
[video]
It's not that bad here, at least. The people are pretty nice.
[video]
[... He hopes they like him.]
[video]
Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask. Even if I don't know, someone else should.
