 Right fancy room, this is. An' a fancy book too. [ Though the words suddenly making themselves across the page are neat and elegant, the voice that follows them is anything but. It's pretty young, and thick with an English accent (and a fairly low-class one, judging by how hard he might be to understand).

He finally begins to actually focus on the book then, and there's a gasp of surprise when he sees the words appearing, despite having no idea what they say. ] It's a magic book! Is there someone trapped in here? Is that where all your writin' is comin' from?

[ And then his voice gets very loud, like he thinks whoever is 'trapped in the magic book' might not be able to hear him right. ] Hey! If you're stuck there, you gotta say somethin' out loud! I can't read what you're writin'! How'd you get in there, anyway? Where are we? Why's there weird signs out the windows? Why'm I in a rich guy's room? [ Or it seems like a rich man's to someone whose used to living in a broken down, gutted house and stealing food to survive. ] They're gonna say I stole somethin' and yell at me!

[ It might be a good idea to answer, because he's just getting louder and louder. ]

Dictated

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, kid. You okay?

Dictated; i am going to have to get used to/figure out how to head these. xD

[wishgrant]

Well, yeah! I'm not th' one trapped in a book!

not too difficult, once you remember they're books. No video.

[schrodingersghost]

I'm not stuck in a book! I'm just talking to you through one.

i am so used to video!! handwaving luca uses the text-to-speech/audio bit for himself

[wishgrant]

So...you're stuck in it.

[ how else could you be talking through one unless you're stuck, man. ]

Its fun once you get used to it!

[schrodingersghost]

No. I'm not stuck in it!

I have one of these books too. I'm talking to you through it. Like a telephone?

[wishgrant]

So you got a magic book too?

--what's a tell-e-fon?

[schrodingersghost]

....Right. Never mind,

Yes, I have a magic book. You;re in a hotel, and I'm in the lobby.

[wishgrant]

Do you not got a room t' be in?

[schrodingersghost]

Of course I have a room!

I'm just not in it right now.

[wishgrant]

Why not? It's all fancy an' nice!

[schrodingersghost]

Because its a hotel room.

[wishgrant]

You don't like 'em?

[schrodingersghost]

Who would want to spend the whole day in a bedroom?

[wishgrant]

Good point. Are you gonna go explorin'?

[schrodingersghost]

Nah, I was planning on sticking by the pool.

[wishgrant]

Pool?

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah. If we're getting sent on vacation, I am going to take advantage of the hotel pool. You know, to go swimming.

[wishgrant]

So it's like a river? That th' hotel has?

[schrodingersghost]

More like a pond?

[wishgrant]

But ponds are filled with all sorts of things! Like fish and bugs!

[schrodingersghost]

Like a clean pond. Made out of concrete.

[bronwe]

[ He tries not to laugh, really he tried. ]

The room is yours and yours alone.

dictated;

[wishgrant]

[ JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STUCK IN THIS BOOK ]

But I don't live here! I live in a village! [ outside it actually, but semantics. ]

dictated;

[bronwe]

You do now. The castle has taken you away from your village.

dictated; having to use bad grammar for him is always painful ;A;

[wishgrant]

Castle? It don't look like no castle. How'd I get here?

dictated;

[bronwe]

It is usually a castle, only today it is a city. Well, an inn within a city.

dictated;

[wishgrant]

...Oh.

Then, if it's an inn-- is there somewhere I can get food?

dictated;

[bronwe]

There is a restaurant near the lobby, the entrance.

I could meet you there.

dictated;

[wishgrant]

[ That sounds perfect to him, really. But, suddenly wary-- ] You're not tricking me so you can throw stuff at me, are you?

dictated;

[bronwe]

What stuff would I throw at you?

dictated;

[wishgrant]

Stones. [ because last time anyone was nice to him, he ended up getting beaten up. ]

dictated;

[bronwe]

Never! Only things that are soft and sweet.

dictated;

[wishgrant]

[ frodo you are speaking to him on a spiritual level. ]

Sweeties are the best.

dictated;

[bronwe]

[ This is all very deep and profound shit. ]

Have you ever tasted marshmallows? They are quite miraculous.

dictated; frodo you are becoming luca's favorite person very quickly

[wishgrant]

I've never even heard'a 'em! What are they like?

dictated; welp sorry i missed this /_\

[bronwe]

Like how clouds should taste!

dictated; it's fine!!

[wishgrant]

I want to eat a cloud.

dictated; <333 you're too kind

[bronwe]

I could show you how to ask the castle for clouds to eat.

[silentrunning]

[Chell finally speaks up...]

Nobody's gonna say you stole anything. What are you talking about?

[She has a bit of trouble understanding him, but hey. Writing on the journal page is epic epic stuff.]

I'm Chell. I'm not trapped in the book, nobody is. But welcome to Paradisa... Well usually it's Paradisa. Right now it's a hotel.

[wishgrant]

If 'm in a room with a bunch'a rich people stuff, they're gonna think I stole somethin' from 'em.

It changed?

[silentrunning]

[Confused...So confused...]

What do you mean, "Rich?" Do you mean someone who has a lot of those odd green pieces of paper? I don't understand. And why would anybody think you stole things? If you had, would you not sooner have run off? And it isn't like you can steal a room!

[wishgrant]

Yeah, someone rich has lots and lots of money! And because rich people are mean.

[silentrunning]

Are they?

[She sounds mystified.]

I... do not understand the need for the green papers.
