1-choo!

Action;1766 Beaver Street
[While finding herself in strange new settings isn't very surprising at all, waking up in bed with completely different clothes is. So if her brand new family doesn't hear her in her room going "What? What? What??" like some sort of one-trick parrot, or the occasional "Hello?" as she wanders through the house, they'll find her still in her pajamas, investigating the fridge. Open, close. Open...close. Open--ooh is that an apple?]

I wonder who made this box so cold?

Phone
--'s this? Is it a gadget? Maybe if I do something it'll talk! Hmm...

[This is followed by the sound of her apparently playing with the dial.]

Hello? Hello? Mister Gadget, can you hear me? I wonder if Meg would know how it worked.

Viki?

Yes, I'm Viki! How did you know?

...You don't remember me? It's Lyon, from Falena!

Falena? You mean that queendom? That's strange...I don't remember going there before.

But how is that--

...Wait a minute. Maybe this is like what Miakis was talking about.

Is it possible you're from before when we met outside the Ceras Lake ruins?

Oh--I suppose so! I mean, I've never been to Ceras Lake before, unless I've forgotten it, but. I don't think I've forgotten people before...

[On the one hand, Lyon is a little disappointed that Viki doesn't know who she is. But on the other hand, familiar voices are comforting. So her own tone of voice comes out somewhere in the middle.]

Well then, it's nice to meet you, Viki!

[Viki, meanwhile, is totally oblivious to these mixed feelings, and sounds as cheerful as ever.]

It's nice to meet you too! I've never met someone with a gadget like this before.

It's called a telephone. It lets people talk to each other from far away. It's a little like what you do, except it only sends voices.

Wow, wow, really?? It's like an elevator for voices! Does that mean you're far away too?

Not too far. Just across town, actually.

Oh, that doesn't sound too far! Unless it's a very big town. Maybe I could teleport there!

Actually, I don't think you can. When people come to this town, they lose all their magic.

What? What? Really?? But, but how did that happen? I've never lost my blinking rune before!

I don't know, but that's what happens. I don't have any of my Runes or my sword, either.

Your sword too? Wow, I wonder where they went...Do you think we'll find them again if we look hard enough?

I've heard they send our things back to us eventually. Or we can trade for them back at the Post Office, but they take memories or body parts as payment.

Oh, well a trade sounds--

...B-body parts???

I don't know much more than that. I haven't tried it myself. But it sounds way too dangerous.

That does sound really dangerous...I wouldn't want to lose body parts.

Me either. That's why I'm just going to wait. I can at least see if someone in town can forge me a new sword.

Oh, that's a good idea! I wonder if I should get a new rod.

It's probably a good idea. I've heard things can get dangerous around here.

Is it really? It seems so peaceful right now. Is there another war going on?

From what I've heard, once every month or two the people in charge of the town do something to antagonize the people they've trapped here. Sometimes people even end up being killed.
