1st Partridge [Action][Let's not realize we're trapped in Luceti]

[pearheaded]

[Luceti seems so calm right now. Active, but silently making white noise over the treetops around them—Ian's favorite type of place. And it was a good thing, too: no one is in need of money more than this guy well, had someone actually told him things were free and he couldn't leave, anyway. He has a blanket laid out, and a bag sat right in the middle. Full of little powder-filled glasses, freshly made and found in his stuff at the item shop, as well as his awesome clothes (note: not really). This medicine was his usual method of getting cash, when his pockets were empty. Granted, some people might not ever use his medicine if they knew what was in it, but what they can't know won't hurt 'em! In fact, it'll heal 'em! 8D

Oh yeah, and he left his journal in a bush in the forest, by accident. Whoops. He'll be sure to get that when he realizes it could help him.]

Wonderful people of—

[...oooone second. He looks at his hand and carefully tries not to make an ass of himself.]

Wonderful people of Loo-ket-ey! Feeling like curing your poor injured shoulder? Got a broken collarbone in need of fixing up? Lost a limb in a bar fight? Then look no further than here!

[Motioning to the bag laid out in front of him with the shit-eatingest grin he can perform. Shiny vials and powders glint in the sun! Glinty glint glint!]

With this medicine, your unhealed physical injuries will go bye-bye in minutes, seconds even, depending on the size! Just a simple payment of 19.99 will give you guys the best bandages anyone could ever ask for: the kind that don't need to be used at all! Don't know what to get your mother for her birthday? How about the sweet taste of insta-cut-healing! Papa getting too crazy with that hacksaw? Insure yourself so he'll have all of his fingers in the future!

Come on, you can't refuse such a cheap offer, can you?

[...Wow, these people aren't really caring that much. Same ol', same ol'.]

...o-or not...

[Why, go ahead and fill him in on what the hell Luceti even is. Cause as far as he's considered, he's stuck in a village in his world and needs to get back to the one his pals are in. Such is the life of a dense idiot.]

[pearheaded]

No, I... don't have a journal, or anything like that...?

[He pauses, looking upset.]

Wait, so—what about my friends? Where are they?

[godbent]

[She sighs and reaches to the little bag at her side, pulling out her own journal. She waves it in the guy's face]

It'll look like this? Do you know where it is?

[Yes, she just ignored that second bit]

[pearheaded]

... No... I don't remember anything like that. Where do you get it?

[godbent]

Really? Most people have it next to them when they come to here.

[pearheaded]

I did wake up in a bush, upside down. Maybe it's there...?

[godbent]

So where's this bush?

[pearheaded]

...It's... uh...

...

Somewhere... around that-way-ish...

[He just blindly points to his right. |Db]

[godbent]

Then go look for it, dumbass.

[She's not about to but this is said with Commanding Tone.]

[pearheaded]

But—wait a sec, what do I do when I find it?

[godbent]

For one, you can use it to talk to everyone here, and besides that someone's got a guide hidden in there which you can read to get better intel on this place.

[pearheaded]

Really?!

Wait—wha—how do you talk to people through books?

[godbent]

Do you know what a phone is? A blog? A walkie-talkie?

[pearheaded]

...

[pearheaded]

...

[pearheaded]

OH—walkie-talkie!


...


That's when you walk and talk at the same time! Right?

[godbent]

WRONG.

1/2

[pearheaded]

O-oh.

[pearheaded]

Then...





I have no idea what those things are! Aha!

[godbent]

[UGH. NO. RESIST THE URGE TO SLAP HIM FOR HIS STUPID]

Look! It's like this- people can talk to each other from far away through them!

[pearheaded]

[wouldn't be the first time!]

Aah, you mean like carrier pigeons, except way more reliable and faster and all that! Right??

[godbent]

...Good enough! Yeah, let's go with that! So that's why you need to find it!

[pearheaded]

Then I'll definitely find it! Definitely!!

How ever can I thank you for your help, Miss... uh...?

[godbent]

Haruhi. I'm Haruhi. [And an idiot can do nothing for her. Maybe]

[pearheaded]

Haruhi! As a token of my gratitude, please take this!

[Congratulations, he's shoving a small light-red bottle in your hand!]

If you ever get hurt, just use this! It'll heal up whatever's wrong with you in just moments! Especially if you ever lose a limb or something like that. It can be pretty handy!

[godbent]

[She takes the bottle, listening but then- wait what...?]

Seriously?
