[Locked to Residents]

My goodness, has it really been so long since I've contacted all of you? Well, let's not be parted for so long again. I do miss our conversations, after all. You're all such terribly interesting people! But before all that, I'm going to have to ask you all to calm down first. I'm sure you all are fired up about that dreadful love business. Yes, yes, it's quite necessary, I'm afraid. I wasn't involved this time, but rest assured, the data collected will be of incredible value to those finding a way to increase the understanding of Shifts. The more we know, the less time you're here!

Now then! I do have exciting news. After all, I wouldn't prattle away about nothing, would I? Ho ho, of course not. Now then, I'm sure many of you have often wondered what becomes of people born in this world. After all, how can they return to their original world if they have none? Well the answer is: they can't! There's nowhere for them to go! Or at least, that's the problem that has stumped us all for decades! Well. That problem is no longer a concern. As some of you may recall, my last experiment of this nature was... ahem, disastrous. I do apologize for that, but I am absolutely certain it will work this time. After all, the Great One has been most generous in assisting me with my work.

Of course, I am not merely telling you all this for your own excitement. Now that I'm no longer the leader of the organization, I don't quite have the ah, resources I once had. I need volunteers to test it. Now, none of you were born in this world- save for our dear little Sophie, adorable little thing, but that doesn't matter! What I require is for pairs of people to volunteer. One person shall offer their own world as a destination. The second person shall be Shifted so that their 'anchor world' will be the same as their partners. The two will then be sent off to that world for a full day. It's not a permanent trip home, mind you. It's tricky business, that. But it shall be enough to ensure the project's success! And perhaps do a little sightseeing while you're there!

I do hope you'll be able to put behind you some of your unfortunate feelings towards me so that we might work together. This benefits more than just the many, many poor souls born to this world. There are, after all, many people within Luceti and the world outside that simply have no home to return to. Returning to be dead is dreadful business, wouldn't you say? Imagine the possibility of choosing a new life after death, in some other new and exciting world! It may very well be a reality some day! Perhaps not in our current lifetimes, but certainly within our next!

Ahem. In any case, trials shall begin next month. Please do consider it! If you remain interested, you shall be contacted then!

[So, "yes." Then it's not something he can consider.] Thank you.

Will those that go get animal voices again?

I suppose it would be helpful, though it depends on how willing the residents are to hear what's said. Raine has a guide, after all, in which she tries to explain our situation so newcomers understand what is going on.

And some would rather hear the situation from one with influence than listen to one parrot information they are fed.

Yeah, I figured. It will make finding a partner interesting.

If we take someone with, can it be from our own world? I need to get back and a day is long enough to do what I want to, but I'm not going to bring anyone who's alive, dead, or otherwise with that would be at risk that shouldn't be there.

[ She doesn't want anything to do with the Malnosso, but if she can finish what she was in the middle of... she wants to try, then she can concentrate on this place if it still won't let her go. ]

But - [Yeah, Link's voice sounds audibly strained.] But can't you make it so that - when it happens, it'll take him somewhere else instead? Even here would be better! [And yes, he's pleading now.]

Ohhh, you're like the manager then. Good job mister manager!

[Well if she can't bring this nice guy along...]

Can I bring something back for you? Yotsuba will get you something nice, flowers and candy and all sorts!

Well... in that case, I'll keep it in mind...

[personal profile] rather_be_surfing 2012-02-27 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[Another long silence. The conditions aren't ideal, then, from his point of view, but for people who wanted, needed to go home.]

...I can volunteer my home to come to. Whoever accepts, though, has gotta understand that there's no magic or fancy powers there, and they'll be coming in in the middle of a hunt that I can't leave.

[it doesn't matter if 'everything will go back to how it was before you go' to Derek; point is, his team had been hours away from being killed and the vampire master getting what she wanted. He's still going to try and stop her. And then there was the matter of...]

...and they might have to kill me before the time is up.

ooooh yeeeeah... :|;;]

[Well you wouldn't be leaving me entirely on my own that is the main issue here, honey.

SO YEAH DON'T YOU GO ANYWHERE!]

[After giving it some thought, Azusa replies, as poised as ever. It's scary, yes, but!]

I'd be interested, Catherine-san. I'd like to participate.

[She can't fight, but she has to do something to help out.]

Anchor someone to me.

...uh-huh. [Thanks for being considerate.]

What about the person who came with us?

When will I need to find a partner by? As in, when will this happen?

[Huh. Either he's lying, or he really doesn't know.

...He'll play it safe for now.]


I'm sorry. I guess that wasn't the best way to describe it.

[A short pause follows. How to say this...]

There are people in some worlds who can alter or erase memories. I was wondering what would happen if someone used that kind of ability on one of the volunteers while they're in another world.

[Joshua saw the response to Leonardo's question - that death wouldn't be permanent. But that's something physical. By contrast, it sounds like they do retain their memories of their time in the world they're sent to... so what if something happens to someone's memories during that time? He knows of at least two worlds where a person with the ability necessary to do that exists, so it's something he's a little curious about.]

[Naruto doesn't even have to think this through much, because the offer sounds absolutely amazing. Even if he doesn't feel like he can totally trust it working entirely, he'd actually been reading through the entry a bit to see what's up. But that was after he decided, so now he's just voicing himself.]

Oh, oh! I'm in! You can totally count me in this for this!

[Really, one day doesn't really sound good enough to him, practically speaking. On the other hand... he can do a lot with a day.]

Um, is this sort of thing really safe? Aren't there risks involved?

[Inconvenient for him? Inconvenient for him?! Ugh! What a pompous, two-faced...! Bite your tongue, Norma, it's best not to piss off the ones holding your fate in their hands.]

You're a pretty selfish, overrated, cocky piece of work, aren't you? [Or not.] So long as it doesn't inconvenience you, you could care less about any one of us, couldn't you?! Well count me and Fifi out of the equation!
thatmadbastard: (Ties that bind.)

Then answer me this: why do they trust you with this? It all seems a bit off. Granted, my curiosity isn't your worry, but indulge a man's need for information.

After all, I've been looking forward to hearing from you for quite a while.
