paradisa | 1st Summon - Accidental voice

[ The journal is picking up the sound of a new arrival. Yay, don't you just love new people? New people who sound confused, as expected. Though maybe not as confused as they should be. This isn't the first time Lucy's been swept away to another world alone. ]

Nnh... what... [ A pause. ] E-Eh!? Where...

What is this? This isn't my room... this isn't Magnolia. ... no way, are we still... in Edolas? ... ... no, that's not possible. I remember going back through the Anima with everyone.

But then... [ How did she end up here? Was it another Anima, that triggered somehow? Hadn't Mystogan closed them all? ]

Hello? [ Her voice is fainter now, accompanied by footsteps as she tries to poke around, testing the door and finding it open, then peering outside. ]

Is anyone there? ... Natsu? Gray? Erza? I'll even settle for Happy! [ The brat cat. She returns to her room after a few seconds silence, and there is a jingle of keys, and the sound of her settling on the bed. ]

At least I still have these... but the others, are they really not here? [ A pause, and the journal is spied - her voice is closer as she collects it. ]

Who left this book here?

But there is a way. It's just a matter of finding it - a voluntary way, I mean. Although... things are never that easy.

How long have you been here?

Three moons. Er, months. There are some people who've been here years.

THAT LONG?

Maa.. I don't want to be stuck here for years...! [ No one did, Lucy! Don't be so dramatic. ]

Three months is a long time...you must miss your home, huh?

[ More than she is willing to say. Behind her, her direwolf whines softly and noses Arya's hand. ]

Not too much. I've people here from home.

Really? Did they arrive with you?

[ Aw, it sounds like Arya has a dog too. ]

[ A four foot tall with all four feet on the ground "dog." ]

Some before, some after.

[ ... that's a _BIG_ dog. ]

Ah ... I guess it would probably be too much to hope to think any of my friends would appear here.

I'm not sure I'd want them to be trapped here too.

Some things aren't too bad. There're lots of people here. A lot of them are helpful. [ Something she still can't get over. ]

At least that's good to know. I guess with so many people being kidnapped to this place, they know it's better to cooperate with each other.

It is. Oh, I almost forgot! We all lost something too.

Lost something? What do you mean, we lost something - like a material object? [ A pause, to triple check herself. ]

I still have my belongings.

Sometimes. It can be memories too. Or something you can do.

[ That's ... kinda terrifying. ]

That's ... that's horrible. I don't know what I would do if it took my keys, or my magic - I know that's not it though. Everyone loses something - no exceptions? No way to get it back?

No. Not yet.

[ Then it's not completely hopeless. Though knowing so little about a creepy castle that steals things isn't exactly encouraging. ]

All right. I think... this is all a lot to take in. I guess I should have a look around [ Because privately she still hoped to see her guildmates or the guild itself somewhere that maybe Arya hadn't seen. ] .

Thank you for your help, Arya.

You're welcome.
