What?!

[He's not really aware that he was being recorded - sure, he'd been messing with the journal, which is probably why it's recording right now. But he's more shocked about the fact that he's alive again.]

But why? [Silence again, for a few minutes as footsteps get farther and then nearer to the journal again.] I was supposed to be--

[Dead.]

This is so pointless!

[He pauses one last time, and then decides that kicking his book would do him good. There's the sound of his foot making contact with it, and then the sound cuts.]

Of course it matters. If you stay outside, you're going to catch a cold. [That probably seems like a silly worry given the whole, you know, just rose from the dead thing.]

[Details.]

The village should be close-by. You can find something warmer to wear here. If you can't see it, try looking for a river. It flows through the town, so you can follow it here.

[....

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Not. And as tempting as it is to just abandon the journal and leave this as someone else's responsibility, he sure as hell can't leave this to Van or his own replica.

So here goes. Enjoy the company of a fellow dead guy!]

...Sync.

[u mad, luke?]

What're you going to do if I do say it? [It's what he was. And there's no way he's going to call like by his name. That would actually take respect. HAHA.] ...I don't have to answer this, do I? You have a brain, or am I giving you too much credit?

[Wouldn't you have known if he was here if he had been here for any period of time, Luke...?]

[. . .]

How many of you people are here?

[Ah, someone he actually tolerates! He's actually slightly relieved, but y'know -- he's probably not going to show it that well.]

Along with other stupid questions, yes.

[Wow, another dead guy. If he wasn't such a grump this could be an almost bonding experience.

Too bad he's not happy to hear you're alive, too.]

Are you here to ask me stupid questions too?

I think I can handle myself. [So stop trying to be his babysitter, Ion. Besides, he's got other things to deal with right now anyway.]

...I don't need your help. I can find my way.

[stubborn, stubborn boy.]

[Now he knows why he could never talk with him before this, IT'S PISSING HIM OFF.

Luke glowers for a moment before he turns his head away.]

You never shut up, do you? [Whatever.] Look, you're in a world called Luceti. It isn't anywhere near Auldrant.

[Oh boy 8D]

I can take care of myself, either way.

Tell me where you are; and be specific. We wouldn't want you to freeze to death before you're found. [Actually, that's probably exactly what Sync would want. Pity things wouldn't work out for him so well if he did. Saving Sync from the elements. What a sense of deja vu Van's getting.]

[Filtered to Sync | 100%]

Dist and Asch are traitors. If they respond, do not accept their aid. Say nothing about this publicly. Treat them with your usual charm.

[Yeah, he pretty much makes it a life goal to piss everyone off once and make himself be as difficult as possible.]

I could say the same for you. [They're going to be best friends!] What do you mean, it's nowhere near Auldrant?

[Okay, he isn't All Knowing but if he could get some info out of the dumb replica that'd be great too.]

It's just like I said. These scientists called the Malnosso kidnapped a lot of people from their worlds to experiment on them here. It's not just from Auldrant; there's a lot of them from other worlds, too.

... There's no Score or anything like that here.

I never doubted that. [Hmm. Definitely a tough one here.] Though wouldn't gathering information only do more to prove that you're fine by yourself?

[Or she could leave that to the people he already seems to know. Sounds like there's a whole lot of those.]

I know you don't [Lies and slander.] but I want to help you, Sync.

[Which is Ion-speak for "I'm gonna help you whether you want it or not, damnit!"]

Have you managed to find the guide yet? It should explain the situation better than I can.

....I hope that is a yes, then?

And why wouldn't it?

Ah... you might not want to toss the journal around like that. It is sturdy, but not indestructible.

I'm by the river, just outside of the village. [HE wouldn't mind freezing to death, but hey. Obviously this piece of trash is needed for something else, so...]

My charm? Tch. [What charm...] I guess I shouldn't be surprised about Asch.

[No comment about Dist, though. He basically ignores him half the time anyway.]

I won't say anything.

[Never lies!] And I don't want to accept it.

[He is going to remain stubborn on this, man!]

What guide?

[Then he asks a question anyway. Way to 'not accept' help, Sync.]

[Ion's not going to say anything about the change in attitude (he's had a lot of practice with handling stubborn people in Luceti) but he will throw in a link to the aforementioned guide. And magic book means hey, turn the page and there it is!]

It might be better to read once you get to the village [Didn't he say he could handle that? Ion will just have to come out and hunt him down if he stays out any longer!] but the most important thing to know is this place isn't Auldrant. It's an entirely different world.

Edited 2012-01-20 08:20 (UTC)

[He'd probably mind when he woke up outside, nearly naked in the freezing weather again a week later, though. Would put him in an awful mood. ...More awful than usual.]

North, south, or west? [His voice sounds more distant from the journal this time. Probably because he's gone to grab some spare clothing and left it in the other room. A bit difficult to hear? He doesn't care, Sync'll figure it out.]

[Fourth time's the charm!]

Sync?!

[Nephry doesn't know him. Really. They've never met personally. But everyone from Auldrant is reacting and she can hear it. He must be someone.]

I may be repeating advice, but if you can find a river, it should lead you to the village.

[She doesn't have to think too hard about why his voice sounds familiar. ...It's just easier not to think it at all.]

[Such a glorious reunion it is, yep.]

You don't have any information I need, and I doubt you have any I'd want.

[Upgrading to a Filter here]

I do have a word of advice to offer- Van isn't aware of what happens to us. I'd avoid telling him anything if I were you.

[THEY JUST KEEP COMING...]

Yes, that's my name! [Oh great, and it's her.] Do you have something useful to say or are you just going to gawk at me too?

[Ah, that was the Sync Dist remembered. Young, snippy, and with the attitude of a rabid junkyard dog. He sighs, and rubs his temple. This...was going to be quite the discussion. Hopefully he could get something of value out of Sync with relative ease, and before...others were able to interrupt.]

Polite as always, aren't you? [He sneers, but goes on.] This place is called Luceti - a realm far outside the reaches of even Auldrant's dimension itself. I'm unsure of the actual location of such a place, but the reality is that we've been pulled here from Auldrant itself - to become birds on a cage, awaiting experimentation.

The wings upon your back symbolize this key fact. Do well not to injure or remove them. [Aaand after a brief glimpse of the other replies before his, Dist adjusts his glasses, looking a bit pleased.] The Guide has been given to you. Make certain you read it carefully, the information detailed inside is essential to understanding the nature of this place.

[Pretty much. Though if he knew everyone and their brothers from Auldrant were here and this thing had recorded him, he would've stayed quiet.]

So I've heard.

[Yeah, don't think too hard on it. Goood.]
