So Lord Yggdrasill returned, at first I thought the paranoia of Iron Will was making him spout out random things but all together this maybe a coincidence. It’s best not to go near him however since he seems as unstable as ever. Even if his power has considerably decreased, it seems he has no memories of the happenings here. Perhaps he was replaced with an alternate version of himself before the war?

I might be over analyzing things, it’s hard to trust myself after I made that foolish mistake.

The masquerade was rather boring, dancing and others making fools of themselves. It was better to go to the banquet either way with Lord Forcystus. I didn’t see Lord Rodyle there at all though; he’s a lot more sensitive to the mana around us due to him having a bit more elven blood than a usual half elf. I wonder if that was what driven him to madness to begin with . . .

No matter, Lord Forcystus for the most part didn’t try to impress me or try any flirting like he did on our little walk. If he can get that into his head, maybe he might have a chance in impressing me. The keyword, might.

It seems it’s hard to trust anyone here, even if they’re innocent – many had stated they’re missing something but my faith in others was dwindling to begin with. Perhaps nothing has been stolen from me after all and it’s all a notion swimming around in their heads.

Or I might be off about that as well. Ironic how I second guess myself now.

The masquerade was quite droll, there wasn't much interesting about it. Then again, with a life as mine I don't find anything surprising nor of interest in anything anymore.

At least the banquet wasn't a waste.

On the contrary. The puppeteer of this place did not reveal themselves; therefore, the gathering of people was superfluous beyond learning the appearances of other captives of this place.

Perhaps it was a feeble attempt for us to forget why we’re here to begin with? I have noticed some of them unfortunately fallen for it, however all poorly planned attempts so far of escape have failed so I suppose most are making the most of it.

A majority of them are human. That is the likely the reason why I felt uncomfortable there. Many of the people are too unhinged for my liking; including many of my comrades.

The answer of how to leave does elude.

I would ask what you are, if you so blithely state that the majority of those here are human.

As long as the place doesn’t take more from us, I see no reason to rush in searching a means to escape.

Lady Pronyma, former leader of the Five Grand Cardinals. I am one of the many half elves here.

Then I would surmise that you have little for which you need to return.

I am Kuchiki Byakuya, Captain of the Sixth of the Thirteen Protection Squads of Soul Society, and twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki family.

There's no point if you failed at the task given to you. Even if I wished to return to those worlds it wouldn't be possible.

Nice to speak to you Captain Byakuya, if you wish to be called that. If the name is uncomfortable, feel free to correct me.

Perhaps. This place changes the nature of much.

The title is acceptable.

I take it there were certain things that happened in your world but are changed here?

Then that will suffice.

This world borrows nothing from my own save humans and Shinigami.

You mentioned you are a half-elf, Lady Pronyma. I would ask if you know of a "Rodyle".

I see. This world resembles Tethe'alla in some instances, other than the odd mana emitting from this place.

Unfortunately so, he was one of the Grand Cardinals. I take it he has been making a nuisance of himself?

Such is an accurate way to phrase his actions here.

It's best not to take him seriously, especially if he doesn't know what and who exactly you are. He's was the least experienced in battle of the Grand Cardinals to begin with, so losing his powers had lead him to be nothing more than a gnat.

. . . Of course, that doesn't stop him from being obnoxious.

Nor could I.

If we go against him now, he could easily victimize himself to Lord Kratos. He makes the first move, if there are any acts of aggression towards us, feel free to point out the treaty.

If he remembers, he seems to conveniently forget about a lot of things, even before coming here.

I don't think that's the case since I have noticed his name stayed on the door way and it also remains in the exact place where the mailboxes are at the bottom floor. I noticed when others disappeared in cases their names were removed from the doorway.

If this is a different person as you say, it would of disappeared and reappeared on a different room. He could have forgotten even more, much to our dismay. The severity of it however is debatable.

It doesn't take much speculation in that, I'm quite aware of his actions during the war.

Hopefully he lacks the Eternal Sword here. That's the last thing we need.

Along with Genis who has recently arrived, but with how he's acting I'm not sure if he would even have memories of him.
