ϡ - Chapter One; we all fall...in [voice]

[folklorist]

[ There’s a very loud thud as something crashes to the ground from the sky. The journal turns on from the subsequent actions of the fallen object nearby. Most likely a body, actually it is, and a cough erupts through the preceding silence. So if you're out wandering about in the woods to the left of the village you'll find a blonde haired man walking around very confused albeit chipper and amused. ]

Haha! That wasn’t the entrance I was expecting! Marvelous how snow can break a fall though! I think if it were anything else I might not have been as fortunate. Must thank Mother Nature when I get back! She always does such a wonderful job with the seasons. But, oh my, th-this place is certainly rural. I-I don’t think this is Romania, ah, no, probably not. At least not any part I'm familiar with. The mountains perhaps? I've always wanted to visit those; they're always so magnificent this time of year. [ There's rustling as if the man whom the voice belongs to is looking around. He still hasn't noticed the journal so he continues on. ]

Hmm. Hello?! Anyone out there? Ah, well as long as there aren't any Yetis here think I'll be quite all right, or those pesky pixies. They always were a fussy bunch. Something seems…a bit different though and I’ve lost my clothes too. I rather liked that outfit, a bit too cold to go without a shirt though. [ Some more silence...wait for, wait for it...bingo! Clothes have been spotted. ]

Ah hah!

[ There’s another pause for a few moments with only ruffling and shifting of fabric against skin and against one another. Fortunately our headmaster's clothes were neatly placed beside him in the snow, how nice! ]

That’s better at least I won't get frost-! What...are those. Wings?! How…how absolutely fantastic! I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like to have them! This place is getting better by the moment! I simply have to investigate now! I think I'll be needing a pair of scissors actually, there aren't any holes in the back of my shirt...

[Well that is a much different reaction from the norm.]

...Hello! I'm here! Look for a journal.

[voice]

[folklorist]

...what? Oh...a journal. [ Pause and some shuffling he's looking for it~ There's the crunch of snow as he gets closer and then finally manages to find it. ]

OH! I found it! I didn't even notice it was here, haha! A talking book! How exciting. Magic maybe? Erm, hello?

Re: [voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

It is magic, but it only says what people say into it--it's not like it can think for itself. [Since she's known some people to come to that conclusion. There is a friendly finger-wave through the little window.]

[voice]

[folklorist]

Ah! I was thinking that! So it's like one of those...cell phone things only it looks like a book! What a very interesting piece of technology. [ And he taps one finger to pursed lips as he looks over the contraption once more. Oh then he notices that wave and smiles back giving a small wave of his own. ]

You, er, wouldn't happen to know if there's a town or something nearby?

[voice]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

Heh, hearin' you loud and clear. Nice to see you're in a good mood! Most of us freak out after gettin' here.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Another one from this book...interesting. Oh but why would you ever?! This place is fascinating so far. It's such a nice view too, although I'm not so sure about the inhabitants yet, haha. But we'll see in due time!

[voice]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

The whole idea about bein' kidnapped and brought here as a science experiment isn't everyone's idea of a good time, heh! Here, I'll show you some stuff you can read up on then!

[A quick written section here for the Guide (http://wise-maiden.livejournal.com/24338.html#cutid1) and another entry here (http://community.livejournal.com/lucetilocked/3666.html).]

Hope that helped! Are you out in the forest somewhere?

[voice]

[folklorist]

[ He's still going over it so there's a small silence. ]

Amazing. Thank you for that. That's a lot of detail! New Feather...hm. This place...though I don't know how I feel about kidnapping residents and preforming experiments on them. That's certainly not the right way to introduce yourself on good terms, haha.

Hm? Ah! Oh yes I am actually. I'm not sure where though, exactly. [ He begins walking the sound of snow crunching all too apparent. ]

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

Someone sounds happy.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Aha ah well happiness is a bit better than being sad! It puts the spirits in a lighter mood, don't you think? Besides I don't usually get the chance to have wings. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity I'd imagine.

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

They're not quite as wonderful as advertized. You still can't fly, unless of course you could fly already.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Oh no, nothing as fancy as that. I was so looking forward to it. Can you at least hover, maybe even a little teeny bit? [ There's a slight pout on his face. He sounds a bit sad about that too. He was looking forward to an aerial view, you know? ]

[voice]

[sniperking-ftw.livejournal.com]

[-___-']

You talk too much.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Oh! W-well terribly sorry. You see I don't normally babble, well only when I get excited, but ahaha I didn't know others were listening! There's no one around and this device is quite strange, really.

[voice]

[sniperking-ftw.livejournal.com]

It is. You'll get used to it.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Well I do hope so! If it's a means of communications and all. It'd be a bit of problem...er, oh where are my manners! I'm Helios Sprensonne! A pleasure to meet you.

[epicenity.livejournal.com]

If there isn't a hole, then just rip one.

[folklorist]

Oh-! Well there is that too I suppose, haha!

[epicenity.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. The easiest solutions are the best.

But the wings really are cool.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

You'll find the wings grow less troublesome once you have gotten used to having them.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

I believe it's the initial shock that takes time to get over. Then again everyone's reaction is different. But they're not so bad...

As they say humans are quite capable of adapting and making situations fit their own needs.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

That's certainly true. We are quite the creative species, after all, and we tend to have a rather stubborn streak as well.

[Voice] Also I need to learn to read. You did not see that fail. :|;

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[...]

You're rather cheerful.

[Voice] fail what fail? Idk what ur talkin' about~

[folklorist]

Oh! Er, well I sometimes get a little ahead of myself I suppose. But wings! They're wonderful, although it's a shame you can't use them to fly.

[Voice] Glad you see things my way. :D

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

It would be a lot better if we could. There'd be some use to them, at least.

Are you new around here then? Do you need someone to fetch you?
