[ooc: post-replication, pre-Gaiden. Meet 11-year old Asch, ^^]

Wh... where am I...? This isn't where I fell asleep...

D-did I get lost? No!! I have to get back to Baticul! Mother, Father, Natalia... they're waiting for me to come home. They are, they have to be! I don't... want to stay in Daath anymore...

Master Van... he's wrong. They'll take me back. I'm a part of Kimlasca's future. They need me...

... You did before.

Why not? You can't stop me!

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

That was a...long time ago. Though you likely haven't realized it by now.

I won't stop you, but you'll find that this is a very difficult cage to escape from.

[dissonates]

A long time ago...? It hasn't even been a year! I don't understand, Master...

If it's too hard, I'll use hyperresonance! I'll get free no matter what!

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

This will be difficult...

You don't understand the situation. You are no longer on Auldrant, it would be impossible to reach Kimlasca.

[dissonates]

.... Not on Auldrant? But where else could I be? That doesn't make any sense!

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

I understand that it's difficult to believe, but we've both been brought to another world by the Malnosso. Currently, they're holding us captive here, in Luceti.

If you don't believe me, then I'll show you proof.

[dissonates]

Luceti... that's what this other girl told me, too.

What kind of proof?

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

You'll find that others here will tell you the same thing.

...I can show you that much time has pasted, if you're willing to meet with me.

[dissonates]

Hm.

... How do I know you won't kidnap me again?

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

There's no place here for me to take you and there's nothing for me to do to you now.

If you're most comfortable with it, we can meet in the center of the village. There should be others there to...keep watch.

[dissonates]

Master... I...

.... I don't know anyone else here... I don't have much choice, do I...?

I'll meet with you.

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

All right. Do you need instructions on how to reach the center of the village or can you manage on your own?

[dissonates]

I don't even know where I am.

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

That would be difficult. Can you describe the area around you?

[dissonates]

There's a bunch of trees around me. I think I can hear running water... it's only a trickle, though.

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

You must be in the forest then. If you can find the river, then you should be able to find the village.

[dissonates]

Alright, I'll follow the river until I find you.

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

I'll meet you by the edge of the village then.

[dissonates]

Okay.

...Master, why are you doing this, anyway?

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

...I don't want to see you needlessly hurt. It can be dangerous in the forest, especially at night.

[dissonates]

.... I... okay.

I'll meet you soon.

[ooc: should we do this as a log or an action post? :o?]

[dissonates]

[I am totally cool with either, so whatever works for you? Though long threads tend to break Asch's journal, so maybe a log is better...]
