Fifth Song ★ Dictated

[catsong]

Is this another castle thing? We just got home from that terrible mirror place, and now something else happens?

Is it always like this?




....so... um... who is staying in this Apollo cabin? There seems to be a lot of us.

[payback]

What are you still confused about?

[catsong]

Most things, really. It's all such a change from home.

[payback]

What's your home like? [And then adjusting, because she knows how hard that question is from getting it herself:] Where are you from? When?

[catsong]

It's... not very good. People are suffering.

Um, it's an island called Sisa. When? Um... I don't know.

[payback]

Mm! In my home too. [She doesn't mind sharing that much.] Well, is all the technology you've seen here new to you?

[catsong]

It is... most of it is quite amazing.

[payback]

Then I bet you're from the past! A lot of the things here are pretty normal to lots of people. There are lots of books to learn about the modern world in the library, though.

[catsong]

The past? Isn't it just different worlds?

[He's so confused.]

[payback]

Not really. Different worlds, different times, whatever you can imagine! The castle can do it, or at least that's how it seems.

[catsong]

...that's even more confusing. Just how powerful is this place?

[payback]

Really powerful. Godlike in power! It does amazing things all the time. You can usually blame the castle for stuff.

[catsong]

[Sigh.]

How do you manage?

[payback]

Stick with your friends... find people you can trust. Read a lot. Information is power here. And don't count the days.

[catsong]

That makes sense.

...thank you.

[payback]

Filter to me if you want to and have more questions, anytime.

[catsong]

I will.
