[Action] (Backdated to earlier this afternoon)

[ledbythewind]

[Anyone near the western edge of the village this afternoon might spot a young man in the garb of a New Feather staring at the village with a bit of a perplexed expression, one hand resting on his hip. It's pretty obvious that this isn't where he'd been a few hours ago (the wings would be perhaps the biggest hint of that), but what he's not sure about is whether he's still in Windol or not.]

This isn't Lhant, and it's too big to be Ohlen. [He shakes his head.] Where in the world am I? And what happened to Asbel, Sophie and Miss Pascal...?

[OOC: Wanted to get him settled in before all of the chaos with the Remnants goes down! Also, if you haven't already tagged his permissions post, please do so to make things easier for me.]

[Doop doop doop it's time for psychic powered nosy guy Atsuki Cullen Saijo to run into this here wayward prince. Mostly because he makes for a great introduction with his whole bomber jacket thing and his polite wave upon presumably seeing the mass of orange Shinen that is an arrival]

[ledbythewind]

[Oh hey, what looks like a local... in a rather interesting outfit. He's never seen that kind of clothing around before; maybe it's the latest style in Fendel or something. Either way, he's going to approach this stranger.]

Excuse me, I seem to be lost. Could you tell me where I am?

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

[Why hello there shirtless man. You look so in place fight now.] I could, but I'm pretty sure you won't believe me at first.

[ledbythewind]

I've seen a lot of things I thought I wouldn't believe lately.

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

You're in a different world than the one you're used to. [Straight up man. Straight up]

[ledbythewind]

A different world? Is that even possible?

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid so. [A beat-] I said it was pretty unbelievable.

[ledbythewind]

This all feels like some sort of strange dream. If it weren't for the fact that my back hurts, I'd probably think that it was.

[antisilent.livejournal.com]

Many people feel that way when they arrive. [A beat] I did as well.

[Oh hey, it's a New Feather. ... Wait, isn't it the 21st of the month by now? Malnosso, what on earth are you doing. Anyway, Vyse will approach the poor guy and help him out, because it's way too cold out to be walking around in those clothes.]

Hey, are you lost?

[ledbythewind]

[Richard will answer with a small wry smile and a shake of his head.]

Unfortunately, yes, and I've been separated from my friends as well. Have you seen a brown-haired man dressed in white, a girl with long lavender pigtails, or an energetic young woman with white and red hair anywhere?

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

[He thinks for a moment. Nobody with lavender pigtails or red and white hair... The man with brown hair might be here. But really, whether he's dressed in white or not doesn't matter, because if he arrived in Luceti a while ago, he's bound to have changed clothes by now. Let's ask, just to be sure.]

Hmm... What's the man's name?

[ledbythewind]

Asbel... Asbel Lhant. Do you know him?

[Sounding somewhat hopeful here.]

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head apologetically.] Sorry, never heard of him.

[ledbythewind]

... I see.

[Well, that's discouraging.]

Then could you tell me where I am?

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

You're in Luceti. If you don't know, I'm guessing that means you just arrived here?

[ledbythewind]

[He can't help but let out a strained chuckle at that. He's half-naked, his weapon and companions are nowhere to be found, and all of this on top of what he was dealing with back in Windol.]

It isn't obvious?

[Naoki seems to be having a conversation with the air as he walks, his hands in his pockets. However, he pauses as he spots the newcomer, tilting his head. Then he plods towards him with a friendly grin and wave.]

Hi there; you're new here, aren't you?

[ledbythewind]

[Conversing with the air does seem a bit unusual, but Richard has seen enough strange things lately that this hardly compares. When the other approaches, he'll nod in response, though he doesn't wave.]

Yes, I am. But I'm not exactly sure where "here" is.

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki comes to a halt in front of him.]

It's Luceti--um, that is, a world different than your own. Lots of people were brought here from their own worlds against their will.

[ledbythewind]

Brought to a different world? I've used a device that transports you from one location to another, but I had no idea it was possible to transport people to an entirely different world.

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki nods.] Yeah--I don't know how, but it looks like it's possible. Somehow. Um, we've been taken to be used as experiments here.

[ledbythewind]

Experiments...

[His frown deepens somewhat. Out of the frying pan into the fire, it seems.]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Mm. They're...strange more than anything. Last month, people fell in love with the first person to reply to an entry you made in your journal. And a fountain popped up in the square and when you drank from it you got, er...really affectionate. The one before it, everyone started trying out strange jobs they never would've considered normally.

[ledbythewind]

What kind of magic or curse is capable of causing something like that? It almost sounds like something out of a children's story or a fairytale. Although if what I've read in books is true, the fountain could be explained by some sort of love potion.
