[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.]

You're food, that's why.

[courageous_wit]

[did someone say explanation?]

You picked up on that already? Well, then, you're farther along than most people when they arrive.

You are in Cair Paradisa right now. That's the name of the castle. There is a town nearby, and far beyond we have outposts. If you're referring to Proessor Sage, she's here in the castle. I'm sure she'll respond to you shortly.

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[He recognizes this voice, and it causes him to panic a little. Someone looking for him was not in the plan! Especially not someone with an axe! What if he gets caught?! HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONE JOB.]

[Oh well, he's not a runner so he'll go and face the music]

H-Hi Presea.

[axwielding]

Food? [She doesn't see anything trying to eat her.]

[axwielding]

Cair Paradisa. [That would explain where she is and why she doesn't know the area.]

Yes, I'm sure. ...Why have so many been transported here. [assuming there are others.]

[cheerupemoborg]

More or less.

Dictated

[axwielding]

[She knows that voice, it's the manner in which he's speaking that she doesn't recognize.]

Zelos?

[courageous_wit]

There are a number of theories about that. Most of us think the castle needs us for energy.

[axwielding]

Food for what?

[axwielding]

The castle? That would make the assumption that it is a being of some sense.

[cheerupemoborg]

The castle your currently inside of.

Dictated

[wilder]

[OH GODDESS I'M GOING TO DIE]

[I mean, c'mon play it cool!]

Y-Yes. It's me.

[axwielding]

[No, this castle doesn't eat people. That didn't make sense.]

What does it eat from us?

Dictated

[axwielding]

[Okay, this couldn't be the Zelos that she knows. Despite how similar his voice is.]

Is something wrong?

[cheerupemoborg]

Your emotions. Some would say your soul, too.

Dictated

[wilder]

[time to try to lie]

S-Something wrong? N-no, not at all, Presea! Hahaha...

dictated

[heal_theworld]

[Martel notices this immediately, because of the names she has said. Tethe'alla and Sylvarant...and most notably Zelos.]

...Ah, hello? You know Zelos?

[courageous_wit]

It is. It's even spoken to people before.

[axwielding]

[That makes her feel uneased.]

Why? Why is it doing it?

[cheerupemoborg]

Why does any living thing feed? To survive.

At least, that's what I assume is the reason...

[axwielding]

How is that possible?

Dictated

[axwielding]

[No, something sounds terrible wrong.]

Where are you?

[courageous_wit]

That's something we haven't discovered yet.

dictated

[axwielding]

[She doesn't know the voice, but if the woman knows Zelos.]

Yes, I know him from back home.

dictated

[heal_theworld]

Yes, I figured, because you mentioned Tethe'alla and Sylvarant. I am also from there. [That's...nicely vague enough for the moment.]

...You've been kidnapped by a magical castle called Paradisa. We're not in our world anymore.
