First Prayer: Enter: Sailor Mars! [Action/Accidental Voice]

[In the early afternoon, people paying attention to the journal may or may not take note of a familiar scene playing out in the woods on the edge of town. An open voice-feed, clearly unintentional of an extremely confused looking girl who's definitely just arrived, and from the sounds of it is not where she expected to be...]

Uuuuaaaah? W...what sort of illusion is this?!

[An actual scream!] KYYYYAAAAA!!!!!

W..hat?! WHAT?! N...o..., its gone! But...I was just...WHAT?! Where is it?! I've got to get back...from...here and...go help the others! But first...my pen...I've got to find it? And...whats this...thing? A book?

[The feed closes with the sound of footsteps coming near, but a misplaced finger adds a photograph to the broadcast.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ohhhkay. Then I'm near there.

[Pirate flag...? Weird]

If you give me a moment I can bring you more weather appropriate clothing and explain more about this place.

Of course. It is a little bit chilly. Thank you.

I will be there shortly.

[Her journal thuds closed and Adele pulls on her coat (again) and her scarf, (again), to walk out to community house three. She cannot help but wonder if this will be a regular occurrence, snorts at herself for the thought, and offers Rei a wave once she's in view. So very many young people in the village already, and more still arriving. It's starting to unnerve her, just a little.]

Mademoiselle Rei?

[Rei can't help that she's young...but she can help by not being the stereotypical youngster trapped here!]

Yes. Doctor Leblanc, I presume?

[She will bow politely, elegantly bending like a reed in the wind, smiling gratefully for the help]

I appreciate your assistance.

I am at that.

[She offers Rei the overlarge coat she'd found earlier in the week and set aside with the rest of her New Feather greeting goodie bag. Shoes, blouses, slacks, most often oversized because it is easy enough to wear something too big. Something too small? It is much more difficult.

The bow is returned with an abbreviated nod and curious look around the clearing.]

So you were not one of the more fortunate New Feathers that arrived with their clothing folded next to them? Those seem to be rare.

No, I wasn't. I did find my pen, but none of my clothes.

[She'll toss on the big coat, looking rather awkward as it practically is large enough to eat her. Rei is rather small, even for a Japanese girl]

Thank you. I feel warmer already. Please, lead the way out of here, I'm not sure where I'm going at all.

Your...pen? [Adele quirks a brow but nods for Rei to follow, leading her back down the path that would lead to the plaza.]

There is a map in the back of your journal, as well as a guide that explains most of the relevant details to living here. It covers the village, what has happened in the past, the barrier, how your stay here effects the world you've come from, everything.

My pen. [Her voice regarding it is almost...too possessive? Its VERY important to her. But she'll follow Adele, stumbling a bit here and there, but nothing too bad. However, something does seriously ping off her when Adele mentions her world]

How...does my being here affect my home? I was in the middle of something very important, and...my friend was counting on me.

[Adele lifts a shoulder and drops the issue. She was in no position to argue about possessions and the need to keep them close in this place.]

For the duration of your stay time is more or less frozen as far as you are concerned. Whenever you return, you return to the moment from which you were taken.

Time is frozen? Are you sure?

[There is a mixture of relief, and of a little bit...fear in her tone]]

It may as well be. The moment you left is the moment you return to; for better or for worse.

[That...means...no...best not think about that...]

So...what you're saying...is that if you were in the middle of something...important, you wouldn't miss it by being stuck here?

From what I understand of it? No. You will not miss it. [In the plaza proper, now, and she shifts course for the clothing store. It should be the first stop for any New Feather.]

That...at least...is good. [More time to prepare]

Where are we going? I don't have any money, ma'am.

No one here has any, the community is entirely devoid of currency. Everything is free, provided by the Malnosso.

Seriously? They...bring us here and offer clothing and things for free? That is so incredibly bizarre.

A well fed and clothed test subject is a more productive test subject.

I...suppose. Geez, this is all kinds of screwed up though. I go from battl...badminton...to this? [In her frustration, she almost slips up...]

What a day...

And today is yet a normal day in Luceti. Wait until you live through an experiment; those days are by far more 'screwed up'.

[Once at the store she hold the door open for Rei.] Usually when you arrive? Your clothing does as well. I am certain we will be able to find it.

My clothing? That...would be great. It'd be nice to have shoes again. And my robes.

[She wanders in and begins poking around, eventually picking out a white and red miko's robe, a pair of white socks, and some wooden sandals...that all seem to fit just right]

Well...they feel like mine. Funny, having my clothes in a shop in some weird world.

Because they most likely are, in fact, yours. Whatever other personal effects you had on you at the time you were taken will most likely be in the items shop.

[At this point Adele doesn't bat an eye at the robe. It's something she's distantly familiar with but not terribly much. Besides: Jedi. Best friend. Lives with a wizard. Perspective is everything.]

Right. Well...my pen was more important. Though I have to wonder why my clothes were here, and my pen with me when I woke up...

[And more correctly, why she wasn't transformed when she arrived]

[A pen that is more important than clothing. Strange, but. Not the strangest thing she has heard or seen here.]

The Malnosso work in mysterious and infuriating ways. I honestly cannot tell you.

I...gathered.

Again, I greatly appreciate all of your help. Is there...perhaps...a place I could get something to eat? I'm not meaning to impose, I just could use a bit of help getting around.
