001 [Action] - Intro

[childofthefullmoon]

 [ Estelle didn't exactly wake up in the most comfortable position. She was sprawled on the floor of the library, face down. Eventually she started to stir and groaned a little before pushing herself up into a sitting position. Kneeling, with her hands folded in her lap, the girl blinked a few times as she began to look around. This was an unfamiliar place, and yet not unpleasant, since she was surrounded by books. Confusion was written all over her features as she attempted to get her bearings. Just where was she anyway? Her mind was foggy and she was generally disoriented. Not to mention she looked a little silly just sitting there, having absolutely no clue what was going on. It finally occurred to her that she should maybe look around. Standing up, she took a few steps forward and peeked around a bookcase.]

Hello?

Comments

[moezama]

[He loves making things worse for people]

You're in Luceti. No, I don't know who is responsible for bringing you here and no, you can't leave. It just happens.

Do you have a journal on you?

[childofthefullmoon]

[And of course Estelle falls for it. Bombarded with all of this at once, she again just stared for several moments as she took it in. Luceti, well it was a name, but didn't tell her much. But obviously someone brought her here and she couldn't leave. Overwhelmed, Estelle sank to her knees again and looked down at her hands. The question though, seemed to snap her attention back to the man speaking to her. A journal? Her eyes drifted over to where a book was resting on the floor next to where she had been just a few moments prior. Reaching out, she picked it up.]

This?

[moezama]

[She should be happy he's bothering to explain anything.]

That's it. There's a guide in there somewhere. If you let me have that book for a moment, I'll show it to you.

[childofthefullmoon]

[Inwardly she -is- grateful, she just hasn't realized it yet. In shock and all.

Standing up yet again, she hands the book over to the man.]

Yes, please.

[Her voice is quiet, a little shaken.]

[moezama]

[He takes the book, flips a few pages and than gives it back to her with the page on the guide]

Estelle, right?

[childofthefullmoon]

[Taking the book back, Estelle looks down and scans the first few portions of the guide. What she reads practically causes her head to spin. Malnosso? Experiments? Barrier? It was all too much to take here and now and so she closes the journal again in time to look up and hear her name.]

Yes, but how did you know?

[moezama]

We've met here once before. [He just couldn't remember her name until he read it on her journal]

I know that information seems like a lot to take in, but you'll have plenty of time to read it here.

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle tilts her head at this, confusion still apparent.]

We have?

[A pause.]

Yes, I suppose you are right. [Judging from what he'd told her and what little she'd seen in the journal already.]

Um, might I ask your name?

[moezama]

Oh dear, I guess you came without those memories. Hazama is my name.

[childofthefullmoon]

[Again she was caught off guard, and stared.]

I... I.

[Could this really be true? She had been here and didn't remember? But how could this be.]

I see.

Mr. Hazama, thank you for all of your help.

[She gave a polite bow.]
