Page 2; A Verdict

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm exhausted. I spent all of yesterday exploring the grounds up to the town gates, and that includes getting lost in the library and distracted by other things. I'm surprised someone isn't living in the kitchen by now; it's bigger than the royal one at Baticul.

I looked around the forest, too. It doesn't have any real monsters as far as I can tell. I can't imagine going anywhere outside of the city without having to fight something off. You guys are pretty lucky, I guess. [a pause] ... Some of the time.

[The sound of boots being set on a desk, a plate being pulled close, and a sigh.]

At least the food is good.

I wonder how everyone is holding up at home.

I would assume someone from a world of monsters would be more than relieved to be away from them.

[psycho icon is PSYCHO]

Don't get me wrong, I am. But I don't think I can really... love this place, as long as it can affect people like this.

[mylittleneedles.livejournal.com]

[lol she's gonna poke you~]

You make a valid point. But really, what place doesn't take from its residents?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

[OSHT]

It's different when it's given willingly.

[mylittleneedles.livejournal.com]

[a very slightly amused, almost inaudible scoff] Sorry; it's just what I told myself to feel better around here. Gotta sleep at night.

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

Well, it's... an experience, that's for sure.

How're you doing?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Me? ... I'm alright. [He's just in one of his quiet, contemplative moods as he tries not to think about what's waiting for him at home too much. Or what's not waiting. Erm.]

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

That's good.. [Noticing that. Hmm...]

...So, um, uh... did you see the games room while you were exploring?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Games room? You mean that thing with all the fontech? Didn't touch it.

[lessthanstelar.livejournal.com]

[he laughs lightly] Too bad, there's some interesting stuff in there. I mean, it's all pretty ancient compared to what I'm used to, but still it's pretty cool...

[Groaning...and a thud. Yyyyeah, he's got himself a wicked hangover right now. Sorry]

Monsters? What now?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

[And Luke has no idea what that is.]

Huh? There aren't any monsters. ... You okay, Travis? You sound like you just got knocked into a wall or something.

[rank1killer.livejournal.com]

[Good boy, Luke. Never get one]

Head's fucking throbbing Uh? I'll be okay. Just a little...my head's just a little up in the air. All it needs is a some air and few good shakes.

[...Yes, he actually just shook his head]

Oh God...big mistake.

[Journal gets dropped onto the floor as Travis makes a b-line for the toilet]

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

...

Travis?

...

People are weird.

[rank1killer.livejournal.com]

[From the bathroom]

God, are you there? It's me, Travis. Pleeeeease...kill me now.

[Then more lurching]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

..You have monsters in your world?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Everywhere outside the cities, pretty much.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Wow...

Um, if you don't mind me asking - what sort of monsters are they?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Uh... they're... animals? I remember the first time I really fought hard was against the liger queen. Some monsters are pretty basic and just use physical attacks, but others use fonons, and they can kill you if you're not careful.

DID YOU SLEEP? >(

[floreal.livejournal.com]

[ quietly ]

M-monsters?

I DID, ACTUALLY.

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. You don't have them on your world?

FEEL BETTER? <3

[floreal.livejournal.com]

Just in stories!

Not really. ):

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

... Good. I don't think someone like you would do too well fighting them.

[humanoidtyphoon.livejournal.com]

I've heard time stands still back home. At least, I'd like to believe that.

[a small laugh]

I'm sorry for startling you earlier, friend, my name's Vash.

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Good. They won't have to wait long for me, then.

It's fine. I'm Luke. Nice to meet you. You sound like How long have you been here?
