[Mjrn's seated at an inn table, staring into the screen worriedly. There's chatter all around her, but not so loud that her own voice can't be overheard. The tone of it is obvious, though--apparently many others are frazzled by the sudden change. Her own voice is that of forced calm.]

I awoke in surroundings not my own. Apparently, I am now in a town called South Figaro and there is much unrest. Many others have arrived in the same manner, speaking of a bright flash of light. Yet more are natives to this town, but awoke to find strange signs--dust covering all, their crops rotted, the chill in the air that ought not be.

Is there anyone who might know of what occurred? To those familiar, please inform me of your whereabouts if you are able. It would ease my mind if I could receive word as to your current state. If you are nearby, I would meet as soon as possible. If not...I shall search the town for further information and continue.

[She sighs, looking lost and uncertain, then turns off the recording after it's sent.]

Jote? I cannot understand you. Is your device malfunctioning?

Far--

You are--?

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

I am in Figaro, on the Outer Continent. I am unharmed, though confused. None can explain what happened, thus far.

Are you well? What village did you mean?

...I am sorry, but your message is again broken.

Are you on the Outer Continent? If I cannot learn further information where I am, I shall attempt to reach the Iifa Tree.

[Mjrn brightens as as she sees him on the screen.]

Reks!

[She stares at him very intently, attempting to lip-read and hoping that compensates somewhat.]

I cannot hear all that you say. Where are you?

[video]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Her brow furrows. Pretty sure she understood, this time. Hopefully.]

I am in South Figaro. If you learn of your location, I will attempt to reach you.

[And with an expression like that, just try to stop her.]

[She nods and tries to smile at that, though still obviously worried.]

I pray that this is so. Please, take caution. All has been changed so swiftly and there may be worse ramifications not yet made apparent.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[She pauses a moment, then nods.]

I shall be cautious, as well, even as I search for means to reach you.

Mjrn. 'Tis nice to hear a familiar voice. This city does not appear to have unaffected by the calamities you name. To purchase a loaf of bread required a trade unlike I'd ever seen.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Sir Heiral! Where are you located?

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

At present, I find myself in a place call Guadosalem. It seems I'm under part of some tree.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

...the Iifa Tree. Were that I was able to join you, that I may see it for myself. Did you arrive alone or have others been scattered to that location?

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

If you are seeking a peaceful location, then I would suggest your company for it is tranquil here. And with few personages, it does not have the amount of activity that resides in such as Alexandria.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

I would visit, but is there no other means than through Conde Petie? I have no desire to undergo a Joining, even in the reassurance that it would be only for the passage.

I must ask; as you are near the Iifa Tree, what is its condition? Has anyone spoke of it changing since this unsettling event?

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the Regent will allow for simpler travel here, once the crisis has been averted, for even I do not wish to partake of this forced joining

Until awaking underneath, I would not have presumed to have knowledge of this Tree, but there seems nothing to be alarmed about concerning it.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

I pray this is so.

...hm. I would have thought there would be some noticeable change. I am not certain whether to be relieved or unsettled.

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

The inhabitants here do seem most comfortable with their home, but I would not presume to understand all that has happened.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

If they are unnerved by no more than what has occurred, then perhaps I am wrong to worry.

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

If you would desire more on the state of the tree, perchance the Queen could provide you the explanation you seek, for she appears quite familiar with it. Less I be remiss, surprise was evident in seeing the relation of Guadosalem within its roots.

[voice]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

That is an excellent idea. I shall attempt to contact her. She is well?

[voice]

[lionwarhero.livejournal.com]

She is as well as can be expected given the circumstances.
