[It's the dark hour, and what appears to be a girl in elegant clothing is absently strumming a harp.]

All right, let's cut to the chase here. Where the hell am I and what am I doing here? This is definitely not where I went to bed or where she left me - oh, hang on, let me take care of this first.

[That last bit is mentioned when a Shadow appears on screen a mild distance away. Rising quickly to their feet and hoisting up the harp, they dash over to where the monster is and smash it with the harp until it dies.

Yep. Coming back over to the phone totally casually.]

Yeah, so, if anybody'd like to tell me anything about this creepy place, go ahead.

Monsters more than aliens, as far as I know. Otherwise that's the long and short of it summed up pretty nicely.

Get anything about the location itself yet, or no?

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

Nothing about it.

Little island-slash-city called Prospero, off the east coast of a much larger mainland. You can go to and from said mainland if you want to, but for the most part anything you need for day-to-day living can be found on the island.

Never heard of it, but the buildings and stuff look way different from anything on Ancardia I've seen, so I'm not surprised.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, noone's heard of it but the locals. The locals being "anyone not automatically contactable via these phones", more or less.

[A pause, natural curiosity getting the better of her.] What's Ancardia like, if you don't mind my asking?

Does 'medieval continent with some magic' mean anything or do I need to be more specific?

Re: [video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Sounds like home, to me. But if you wanna be more specific, I won't stop you.

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

I'm more concerned with how I got here right now.

[video] - Does the voice change with the personalities, or just the intonation?

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Wish I could tell ya, kiddo. It's the big question on everyone's mind.

[video] Just intonation!

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll take that even if it's not helpful. Anything else I should know?

Monsters, check, basic details, check. Oh! Noone mentioned the free lodging yet, did they?

[Someone's getting a bit better at phone-ing. Eater gets a map with a small "x" on it at the Bay View Hotel's location.]

...I'm kinda guessing maps are a universal constant. Stop me if I'm wrong.

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

I assume everyone can read a map, but I guess I shouldn't make that assumption. Thanks for the help.

[video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Not a problem.

[A beat.]

Ah. I never caught your name, by the way.

[video]

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

It's Eater. What's yours?

[video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I'm Devola. Nice to make your acquaintance, Eater.

I'll have to ask you about using the harp for something other than bludgeoning some other time.

[video]

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

Of course, I can play it. It's just not as useful right now with the monsters around.

[video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

That's not a point I care to argue. I'll bother you about it tomorrow then, if that's alright?

[video]

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

Alright. Talk to you later.
