What a strange dream... but at least it wasn't that dream again.

... wait, where am I? Marta? Tenebrae? Where did they go? M-maybe they're getting supplies... that must be it... but why wouldn't they wake me up too? This doesn't look like where we camped last night, but it was dark so I guess I just couldn't see that well. Now that I think about it, it was kind of creepy in the dark...

[a fluttering of wings]

Aaah! W-what the... what are these? Are they... they're attached to me! What's going on? [there is a distinct edge of panic to his voice now] Tenebrae! Marta! Where are you? Richter... anyone! Is this part of becoming the Knight of Ratatosk? If it is, I don't want to do this anymore!

This can't be happening... the people in Luin were right, I really am a monster...

You know that weird Richter guy?

[knightofratatosk]

... Lloyd?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...And you... know me too.

This is just getting confusing.

[knightofratatosk]

You don't remember me either?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, sorry. Uh... where'd we meet?

[knightofratatosk]

It was just a little while ago. You really don't remember?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Oh... was I picking up exspheres from you or something? I'm sorry, I've been stuck here in Luceti for a while and time's kind of weird.

[knightofratatosk]

No, we were... um... never mind.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Uh.... okay?

[knightofratatosk]

How long have you been here?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Let's see... [he's counting on his fingers now] ...wow, it's been like nine months.

[knightofratatosk]

So Richter was right...

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Right about what?

[knightofratatosk]

It's nothing.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...Well, anyway, you gave me my name, so can I get yours?

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry! I'm Emil. Emil Castagnier.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Then it's nice to meet you uh... again, Emil.

[knightofratatosk]

You too, I guess...

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

So've people explained about Luceti yet?

[knightofratatosk]

Richter and... that other guy did. I don't think I like it here...

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

I don't think anybody does, really.

[knightofratatosk]

There's really no way back?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Not that we've found. There's some kind of barrier up over the place.

[knightofratatosk]

Oh...

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

But don't worry. Nobody's given up on it yet.
