[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...

...Asch?

[dissonates]

Master-!

.... D... don't call me that name. I'm Luke! I'm still Luke! I-I'm not going back to Daath!

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

...All right, Luke.

You won't need to worry about going to Daath again.

[dissonates]

..... wh-what? You're... not going to try and take me back there?

[celestialelegy.livejournal.com]

I can't force you to go if you don't want to.

However, I'm afraid you can't return to Kimlasca.

[dissonates]

... 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.

[xmidnight-foxx.livejournal.com]

I think someone told me it's a place called... Luceti.
We're stuck here.
Getting home will be difficult, but it will be okay. Or so I hope.
Are you alright?

[dissonates]

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

[dissonates]

Luceti? I've never heard of that. Are you sure...?

It doesn't matter if it's hard, though. I'll get home no matter what! Then everything will be fine.

[xmidnight-foxx.livejournal.com]

So says everyone that claimed to know me. I don't know remember some people, but yes, I don't think they were playing around when they said Luceti. I'm afraid it's a bit... impossible.
Since the adults don't know a way out, the kids can't do much, can they?

[dissonates]

Luceti, huh... I'll look into it.

Who says kids can't do anything? I won't give up, and you shouldn't either! Otherwise we'll never get out!

[xmidnight-foxx.livejournal.com]

mmm okay.
I never said I gave up. I'm looking around as we speak. I want to return to my village, so I'll try my best to do something.

[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]

Okay. I had to be sure. I'm sure you can find your village and return safely!

[dissonates]

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

What kind of proof?

[xmidnight-foxx.livejournal.com]

I hope so.
You're determined, unlike a lot of children here.
Thanks. You too.

[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.

[paraball.livejournal.com]

Asch?

[dissonates]

Hm.

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

[dissonates]

Everyone's scared or lost... but I won't let it break me. You lose everything when you give up. I... don't want that.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

D-don't call me that! My name is Luke! Luke fon Fabre!

I'm... I'm not Asch...

[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.
