A → [ 2241 Stevens Road ]

[Having just woken up, Amu was in a state of panic and confusion. This wasn't her house, it wasn't even her bed either]

Are you kidding me? Dia, I thought you knew where you were-- [The lack of response was unsettling and the minute she realized her guardian character was nowhere to be found either, it made her worry even more to lose her as well] Huh? Not you too...what's even going on here?

[She took a deep breath before looking around the room she found herself in as well as other places in the house for any clues or just any of her belongings, the latter she didn't have much luck with. She saw various things around and picking up one of the family photos she couldn't help but stare in disbelief]

N-no way. This can't be real, what sort of joke is this? It's not even funny.

B → [ Phone ]

...this even working? This just keeps getting even more weirder by the minute. I was just trying to call my- [she pauses for a moment before sighing in frustration] Ugh. Stupid thing. I'm not sure if it's even connecting me to the right number at all.

Can anyone hear this?

C → [ Around Mayfield ]

[Sometime later Amu heads outside, she is just walking around trying to get a better idea of her surrounding right now. She's in the middle of considering asking someone for directions, either way feel free to approach her!]

The town loops back on itself.

[guardianjoker]

That's...definitely not normal.

[sparkling_eyes]

Lots of things that happen here aren't normal, unfortunately.

[guardianjoker]

Yeah, I'm starting to catch onto that.

[sparkling_eyes]

Oh... I suppose I should introduce myself before we get too far into things. I'm Lyon.

[guardianjoker]

Ah- right. My name is Amu Hinamori.

[sparkling_eyes]

That's a nice name. I'm sorry you had to end up here too, though, Amu.

1/2

[guardianjoker]

Ah- thanks I guess.

2/2

[guardianjoker]

Yeah, me too-- does everyone appear here so suddenly like that?

[sparkling_eyes]

Yes, that's how it is for everyone. I'm afraid we don't know why it happens yet.

[guardianjoker]

Really? I would have thought there had to be something if people have been here for a while.

[sparkling_eyes]

We don't get many real opportunities to investigate this place, unfortunately. And the people in charge can be pretty... severe about the punishments for stepping out of line.

[guardianjoker]

The people in charge-- would those be the ones who kidnapped us? And what sort of punishments do you mean?

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon really doesn't want to have to explain those in detail. Amu sounds like a really sweet girl, and slightly on the young side. Kids shouldn't have to endure this kind of stuff.]

Let's just say things can get pretty dangerous. Make sure you make some good friends that you can count on, and if anything strange happens, have a safe place where you can go.

[guardianjoker]

Dangerous? Ah- well I guess I'll have to be prepared for that just in case.

[sparkling_eyes]

Are there any other questions you have? I'll answer anything I can. I know this must be pretty confusing.

[guardianjoker]

Just one more-- it's about our belongings, do you know what happened to our things?

[sparkling_eyes]

We're brought here without them. But every once in a while you'll get something you had before back in a package in the mail - even if it's something like magic or a special power you used to have. The packages usually show up after the town does something bad. I guess maybe it's meant as some kind of reward for being able to make it through all of that? No one's really sure.

[guardianjoker]

In a package?

So does everyone get one after that sort of thing is over? Or is it random?

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, I've always gotten one back, but I suppose it's different for everyone.

[guardianjoker]

I'll find out myself when it happens for me, I guess.

[sparkling_eyes]

Yeah... everyone finds out eventually.

[guardianjoker]

Mm, well I think that's all the questions I can think of-- thanks, for answering. I think I've got at least a better idea of this place now.

[sparkling_eyes]

If you ever need anything, feel free to call, all right? And if things get dangerous and you need help, I live at 747 Partridge Drive. Everyone in my house is really friendly, and two of us know healing magic.

1/2

[guardianjoker]

Ah- you can heal? Mm, thank you Lyon. I'll definitely remember that if I do need help or anything.
