9 - 4TH WALL EVENT

[knowsvinewhip]

My! It certainly seems lively around here today.

... Has anyone else noticed the odd writing on all the signs?

OH HAI HAKKAI! Please to not be minding Tasuki and his friendly manner. :3

Has anyone noticed that some of us could give two shits about some stupid signs?

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

No, I can't say I have! Especially since I don't recall ever meeting you.

[He's as cheerful as ever -- but my that is a familiar attitude there.]

[suzaku-wolf.livejournal.com]

Well. Maybe that's 'cause some of us never had any intention of being yanked from our homes and duties, ya know?! Maybe we ain't plannin' on stickin' 'round any longer than we absolutely have ta.

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. To my knowledge, none of us were very interested in the idea of being forcibly transplanted. Ah, but here we are, all the same.

If you find a route home more quickly than we have, by all means, please feel free to take it.

[Audio]

[suzaku-wolf.livejournal.com]

There ain't no way home? We're stuck here?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Until we manage to accomplish the goals set before us... yes. I'm afraid so.

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

So that writing isn't normal even here. That makes me feel a little better...

2/2 [Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Uh, hi. I hope I'm not bothering you, but could you tell me what's going on here?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

I would! But, unfortunately, I'm rather at a loss myself!

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, thanks, I guess.

Are you... from here?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

No. I was brought here, the same as you were, I imagine.

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Just now? You seem really calm. For someone who's been kidnapped, I mean.

Do you know who brought us here?

[Ten million questions.]

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Several months ago. I've had quite a long time to get used to the idea.

The protectors of this place, I believe.

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Oh. [He lets the unsaid sink in. 'There's been no sign of rescue for months'.]

We weren't sold, were we?

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Ah--? Sold?

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Like slaves.

[Because with his extended family, this is a completely logical conclusion to jump to.]

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

Well! I certainly hope not. That would be a terribly awkward situation to be in!

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

[And a sigh of relief.]

Good. For a second I was really worried. But I still have no clue where this leaves me.

[Audio]

[knowsvinewhip.livejournal.com]

We're intended to protect the people here from attacks by monsters, as I understand things.

[Audio]

[elyaguarete.livejournal.com]

Protect them? From monsters? How?
