Dictated

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott's got his journal open, but he keeps flipping through the pages, so the only real sound for a minute is the sound of turning pages as he tries to grasp what's going on here. He's only sort of getting it, and he's still pretty rattled by all the nightmare things.

He was pretty sure that he was just in another one for the first day here, but considering the scene didn't change and nothing terrifying happened... maybe it was real? ]

Wow.

[ He clears his throat and speaks up a little. ]

Uh... hi. My name's Scott McCall. I'm new here, and I don't really know what's going on. So I'm... talking to a diary.

[ The more he speaks the dumber he feels. ]

Right, okay...

Look, I just want a way out of here that doesn't involve dying again. So if anyone could tell me how I can go home, that'd be great.

[... no, really, why does Tsuna always think he should help out the newbies? THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.]

Er... the.. castle?

[wolfiehood]

[ Poor boy just keeps setting himself up to have people treat him like he's crazy. ]

Like... the building?

[not_mafia]

[Everyday problems of living in a magical castle in an alternate dimension.]

That's what they say.

[wolfiehood]

[ Life is rough. ]

How does that even work?

[not_mafia]

Well, I'm not really sure. I don't think anyone really knows, but there might be a few theories...

[wolfiehood]

Could you tell me them?

[not_mafia]

Er, well, I wouldn't know. That kind of stuff is.. above my head.

[wolfiehood]

[ Well shit, that doesn't help. ]

Do you know anyone that might be able to tell me then?

[not_mafia]

Not exactly. [HE IS THE MOST HELPFUL WELCOMING COMMITTEE.] ... Sorry.

[wolfiehood]

Why? It's not your fault.

[not_mafia]

Ah, I just wish I could be of more help, that's all!

[wolfiehood]

Oh, well thanks. I mean, for even answering my questions at all.

[not_mafia]

Yeah, sure!

I might be able to help you out with some other things. Do you know about losses?

[wolfiehood]

Losses? I don't think so.

[not_mafia]

Well, there's two kinds.

One is a temporary loss. That's what happens when the castle messes with a resident somehow... One time it made a friend of mine have a personality that was completely different than usual. It doesn't last very long... I think it only last up to two weeks at most, although I'm not sure what the minimum is.

And the other is a permanent loss. Everyone has one.. It's something that you lose as soon as you come to the castle, and no one's figured out how to get it back yet. It can be an important item, or an ability, or a memory.

[wolfiehood]

[ Temporary losses sound like a pain, but... at least they're just that, temporary. The permanent losses are a lot more alarming. ]

Wait it stole something from us forever?!

[not_mafia]

Uh.. maybe. I'm not sure if you get it back, once you go home. [Oh man, that might complicate things for him.]

[wolfiehood]

[ Well that's exactly what Scott doesn't want to hear, and he doesn't know what he lost yet! ]

... Shit.

[not_mafia]

Yeah, sorry.

[wolfiehood]

It's your fault.

[not_mafia]

H-huh?

--no, no! I just meant... I'm sorry you lost something important. That's all.

WOAH "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT" IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. KEY WORD MISSING OH MY GOD.

[wolfiehood]

[ But rolling with this and pretending Scott was asking a question instead.... GOD WHAT A SILLY MISTAKE JEEZ ]

Oh! Right. That makes a lot more sense.

[not_mafia]

Ahaha. Maybe I shouldn't apologize so much.

shhh BD;

[wolfiehood]

What? No, you're fine. I'm just still trying to figure this whole thing out.

[not_mafia]

Well, you'll probably be here for awhile, so you'll definitely have the time to...
