[ She doesn’t believe in this nonsense. How could she? Something like .. writing into a journal was so innocuous – it couldn’t be a means of communication. It certainly didn’t make any sense! But … on that train of thought; what about this place made sense? She was in a huge castle that somehow knew her name. Right.

After observing for a few days, this seemed like the best way to communicate with others in the castle.]

My name is Esther Blanchett.

[She can’t help it, she’s speaking under her breath as she pens the words carefully into the book. Her handwriting is neat, though a little cramped. Will someone answer back?]

I’d like to know where I am and under whose authority I am being held here. If possible I would like to be returned to Londinium as soon as possible. It is very important that I am returned home.

[There! Not too accusatory, but definitely not mild, either. Settling back in her chair, she stared at the book in front of her, willing words to appear. She would figure this out. And she would go home. It was all a matter of time.]

[oh, was the Esther he knew back? but then again it wasn't nice to assume things so he wouldn't for now.]

It's the castle itself, I think. It sends people back on its own.

[it's very possible! but she won't know who this person is.]

Some others have said the same thing, but I don't understand how a castle can be sentient enough to keep people prisoner.

A lot of people say it's magic and that we're in a different world. But that's all that I know so far.

written unless stated otherwise?

[starhipped]

Magic..

I suppose people must be doing investigations to find out otherwise, right?

yup :)

[twisted_baroque]

I guess? I haven't looked yet. [because there was a side of him that really didn't want to go back home yet.] But people want to go back home so maybe they're looking.

[starhipped]

Thank you for the information! :)

Have you been here very long?

[twisted_baroque]

You're welcome.

I think it's nearly a year after a few more months. But I could be wrong again.

[starhipped]

So long!

And you just .. live here?

[twisted_baroque]

Really? It doesn't feel that long. [but then again, he's not the best person to go to regarding time.]

Yes. Sometimes things happen, but it's nice most of the time.

[starhipped]

I suppose it wouldn't...

What kind of things?
