Day 006

[There are strange scribbles on the top of the page, as though the writer is testing out a writing instrument on the paper.

There seems to be a list of objects -- specifically the objects one would find in one of the trunks -- but a few lines stand out.]

Armor --> Full charge.
Buster --> Full charge.

[Following that is an outline of the room, almost too perfect to be made by human hands. The words "No Charger" can be seen in the corner.

Forgive him, X doesn't know the function of this thing yet. For all he knows, this notebook has just had multiple users, and he's the newest of many.]

You're welcome~

In this castle, it's the sixth day, so about ten weeks of normal 24 hours a day time. In this world, since there was the cycle before this one that I was part of, over two years.

[maverickhunterx]

[That's...admittedly, a lot to take in.]

Another cycle?

What was this place like then?

[sky_sharkling]

It was five distinct houses that were all connected together. The day-night cycle was pretty much the same, along with night's being dangerous compared to day. There wasn't anyone really obviously in charge like the Lord though, or any guards to help with the monsters. It was a lot less safe.

1/3

[maverickhunterx]

[No. Oh, no. Oh, fucking hell no. There are lots of dots on the paper, with the start of words.]

2/3

[maverickhunterx]

[X is trying to write, but can't seem to find the words.

Lots of crossed out "is there" or "Would there be" and "What if"s sitting next to each other.]

3/3

[maverickhunterx]

[A little further down, is the sentence, carefully written:]

I think I was there in that previous cycle, too. For a while, anyway.

[sky_sharkling]

[...huh. That's a weird reaction-- oooh. That's why. He can sympathise]

Ahh, I see. There's a few people who were there here too. It doesn't seem to be unusual, at any rate.

[maverickhunterx]

[X isn't sure why, but that relieves him. Well, relatively; it's hard to be relieved in this situation, considering the circumstances.]

Admittedly, I don't remember much about it. A few flashes here and there, and one or two specific rooms. I doubt it'll help me here, though.

[sky_sharkling]

Probably not. There's a few monsters here that are the same as the house's, and a few people, but the rules seem to be different in many ways. Mostly thanks to the Lord.

[maverickhunterx]

And just walking up and having a nice chat with him is out of the question.

Thanks for this, Akito.

[Wait, X, aren't you forgetting something?

Yeah. Your name. Asking him all these questions, and you forgot to give him your name. Or her. Or whoever this is -- Akito is a male name, right?

Seriously -- just because he was in a strange situation didn't mean he was immune to common courtesy!]

My name is X. Sorry I didn't mention it earlier.

[sky_sharkling]

I'd say that's probably a good way to get in a lot of trouble really fast, trying that. [Who knew, it might work, but then again the Lord is kind of gross, so]

It's okay. It's nice to meet you, X-san.
