So... That was an experiment? That wasn't what I was really expecting... Are they all this chaotic?

...I suppose it'd be a good idea to introduce myself first. My name's Asbel Lhant. I arrived last month with the other "New Feathers". Several friends of mine from my world are here, Richard and Lambda. Maybe you've met them?

I guess there's no one else from Efinea here, is there? What sort of places do you all come from, then?

[Immediately pinged by the name of kid bro's boyfriendo.]

You know Richard?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

...Yeah, I do. He's one of my closest friends.

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Aa. He must be glad you're here. [He says no more about it]

But for your first question, the last experiment was a bigger pain in the ass than usual.

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

I can't say I'm happy to be here, but... I'm definitely glad to see him again.

...So what are they normally like, then?

[Ah, Asbel. Good timing. Lambda has something to discuss with you.]

... Richard suggested that it would be best if I stay with you.

[...!]

Ah, that's... ...Richard...

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

...I was going to suggest that to you, actually. Heheh... Looks like Richard beat me to it.

[Asbel doesn't sound too enthusiastic about it, though.]

Are you certain of that decision? It matters not to me whether I stay in the forest or inside a house.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

[He doesn't waste any time delivering his response.]

Yeah, I am. I want you to come live with me, Lambda. It'll be my first step on keeping my promise to you!

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

That was quite the experiment for your first one, Asbel.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen...

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'd say you got off fairly easily. You could have ended up changed into a woman like I was.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

That's true... I'm just glad my younger self didn't get into trouble.

I don't see what's so bad about these kinds of experiments. It beats the kidnappings.

A good lot of us come from Earth.

[video]

[drawnbythesword]

The kidnappings... [Right... he read about those in the guide...]

Earth? You come from the... ground?

[video]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Have you seen any of your room-mates leave for long periods of time? They might have gotten kidnapped.

No. Uh. It's the name of the planet. Don't ask me why they chose that name.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

[...Ho.]

Don't you owe us an explnation of "Efinea" first?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

...Well, I wasn't going to say anything if people weren't interested about it. I was just curious how different other worlds were from mine.

[voice]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Consider this a request then. Let's hear it.

[notredheaded.livejournal.com]

Definitely nothing like this place. I think I'd rather deal with a titano by myself than these experiments.

[drawnbythesword]

...A titano?

[notredheaded.livejournal.com]

A monster that makes the houses here look small. They were common in the last place I was in before coming here.

[Ah! A New Feather she missed? By now she's feeling better at least, if not a little too overpowered, but details.] Ah, are you settling in well then, Mr. Lhant? [She'll keep formalities for now, but she may just drop it later once she's more familiar with him.]

[drawnbythesword]

[Oh, she's being formal with him... Best he do the same, then.] Yes, I am. Thank you very much.

[applehair.livejournal.com]

That's good to know then! I'm Shirayuki, one of the volunteers of the Welcome Center. [A pause.] I hope the experiment wasn't hard on you, being new and all.
