Since it sounds like there's more trouble going on back in the castle, if anyone wants to get clear for the time being then I invite them to come out to the outpost in the dead zone. The rooms will comfortably sleep around twelve people total - make that eleven, given I'm sure no one wants to bunk with Legato - and that said you'll have a roommate. Anyway, we can fit more if it's necessary, even if it'll be less comfortable.

That's not a bad idea... Though I hafta say I'm not used t'talkin t'people 'bout magic an' shite like that.

Haha... I know the feeling. It'll get more normal if you're here for any length of time.

I have to admit I don't know much about how all of it works but it seems to, so I'll use it.

T'tell ya th'truth, I don't think I want it t'get more normal. I mean, I could accept that it's useful an' shite, but t'feel that it's normal?

[He sighs] There's not much 'bout this place that is.

What, it'd make you feel too at home here if it felt normal?

Thing is - this place ain't normal. An' th'minute I start thinkin' wishin' an' a magic fuckin' castle're normal I'll know I've fuckin' lost it.

I don't know... it seems normal to me, if people get accustomed to where they are. Even magic is just one more thing to get used to... like toasters or microwaves. I hadn't seen those before I got here either.

Where are you from, anyhow?

Y'd never seen toasters 'r microwaves?

I'm from Ireland originally, then Boston. How 'bout you?

I'm from a long time before those things were even invented! Um, we don't write time the western way at home... I'm actually from 1782 by westerner earth reckonings I guess. I'm from Edo, in Nippon. So here is quite different!

[That gives him pause] Holy shit. 's one thing t'hear 'bout people bein' from different times. 's another t'actually talk t'someone from there... then...

's not a bad thing, 'f course. Jus' not somethin' I'm used to.

Mm! Well, I had to get used to talking to those who're from the future, from my perspective. And of course this place is more future-ey than not. It's not too bad adjusting to that though. I like hot water and chocolate.

Anyway, you understand, right? Technology, magic, sometimes it's like the same thing to me.

[He takes a moment to process this before making an affirmative noise]

Aye. I think I understand.

Anyway! I can understand why you'd feel awkward. So I hope one way or another it gets to where you don't feel worried.

Thanks. We've been livin' in town, it helps not t'be constantly surrounded by it.

Mm... that can get tough, the townspeople aren't too friendly to us, not that I can blame them. And it's hard to have a conversation with them. But if it helps, it helps. There's not much point in forcing anything.
