[It starts with a thump, a groan, and a muffled curse, probably nothing too out of the ordinary.] --the hell?

[Then two beats of silence, and the voice on the other end sounds almost awed.] ...Whoa. What is this place?

[There's some more silence, while on the other end, Kanji is peering around at the lobby, quite clueless and confused. As far as he's concerned the only explanation is one that should make no sense whatsoever, so he's starting to get frustrated and muttering.]

...can't be. If the damn bear--

[And then he raises his voice, sounding more mildly annoyed and lost than actually angry.] You hear me? If this is your fault, you're gonna get a swift kick in the ass! Come out, dammit!

You are a messed up world, Persona.

I admit, I feel the same. At least most of what the people have told me so far seems to be true.

At least the ending was mostly happy? XD

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I ain't met anybody with a reason to lie 'bout this place, which makes it even worse.

SORT of. HE LEFT THEM FOR THE CITY ;;

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

When so many attest to the same thing, it is hard to say it is a lie. At least one would have fumbled by now.

But he didn't die! And the world came through intact.

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

And most of 'em got nothing to gain from it either.

Yeah yeah, consolation prizes

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

True, not that I can see. No one seems enchanted, either.

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

Enchanted? They got magic here?

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

Yes, as far as I can tell. Certainly the wishing is magic.

sorry this is so late!

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

Wishing? What do you mean by that?

Re: sorry this is so late!

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

You can ask for things from the Castle and it... provides? Yes, that is the best way to put it.

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

I don't know... Wishing ain't a really good thing. Wishes can go really, really bad.

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. I mostly keep it to food and fresh clothing, personally.

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, little things probably aren't too bad, but I'm already wondering what the hell the catch is.

[peacockherald.livejournal.com]

Apparently, you can get turned into any number of things or have things done to you as 'payments'.

[punk-emperor.livejournal.com]

Well damn, that doesn't sound good. Shit.
