[Without a doubt this was not any area that she'd been to before, nor where she belonged. Her memory recalled moving towards the others after Zelos's rescue with no head damage that should have lead to her blacking out. The chances of her getting hit onto of the head from behind were of a sixty-two percent. It's as she leaves her room to begin exploring the halls of the castle that she opens up the journal and begins dictating.]

...An unfamiliar surrounding. Chances of this being within Tethe'alla are zero percent, low chances of Sylvarant.

[She goes quiet, observing the castle of a moment longer. There was something odd about this castle.]

Zelos has failed to be located, as has Regal, the Professor and the others. [another beat.]

An explanation to my surrounding would be helpful, as to why I have arrived here. Something is wrong with this castle.. [or rather, something felt wrong. Though it might just be the fac that she shouldn't be here.]

[For the meanwhile, anyone is free to notice the small pig-tailed girl examining the interior of the castle.]

[Time flows differently...?] How so?

Cair Paradisa is a castle that devours the energy of others, or so some say. I have also heard that it feeds on our emotions and souls. It has a voice to speak for itself along with a will of it's own. There is a town nearby as are outposts. No escape has been found unless the castle sends you home. We all lose something when we arrive. [That's all she knows, unless she's missing something.]

[ruin_mania]

It's been four years since I first woke up here, for example.

We're each also assigned a room in the castle, though some choose to live in the City. You may obtain nearly any item or type of item simply by wishing for it inside the castle, and there are several important rooms such as a large kitchen, a huge library, and others.

[axwielding]

Four... years? Have you aged? [an important question.]

Wishing for nearly any item, how is that possible? [She'll remember these key rooms.]

[ruin_mania]

I've not. Not that I might notice it in any case. [You know, being as how she'll look exactly the same for a couple centuries.]

It seems to be transported here by some kind of magical action, though we're not sure from where. So some things which are rare or difficult to find may not come when you wish for them, but anything common is a simple matter.

[axwielding]

[Stuck in a castle that feeds on energy and doesn't age you. :|]

How odd, but useful nonetheless.

[ruin_mania]

[Sounds familiar, doesn't it?]

Indeed.

Still, there are a good number of our friends around here, so it's not all bad.

[axwielding]

You do like it here.., Professor Sage?

[ruin_mania]

It has its disadvantages, don't get me wrong.

[And yet.]

Yet not once have I been judged based on my race alone, and that is very pleasant indeed.

[axwielding]

I'm glad to hear so. [She's happy for you.]

As all places it has it's ups and downs. [so far, she's found more 'downs' for herself.]

[ruin_mania]

Thank you, Presea.

Oh, as do all places, certainly. It is a rather calm place, though. [And that does count for something.]

[axwielding]

[A calm place? That sounds nice.., she doesn't quite like large, busy places.]

Than I think I will not mind it more than any other.

[ruin_mania]

I'm glad to hear it. And if there's anything you need, do feel free to let me know, hmm?

[She has been here for some time, after all.]

dictated

[axwielding]

Yes, I will be sure too. [a beat] Thank you.

[ruin_mania]

You're very welcome, Presea.
