Okay. If this book isn't lying to me? There are a few things I'm going to need. Things I needed yesterday.

Necessary supplies:
housing
clothes
food
bow and arrows
therapist

Anyone got any leads on these things?

Thanks.

[A few moments' pause, then:]

My name's Alex, by the way.


[Okay, so Alex isn't quite as calm, cool, and collected as the writing would make it seem. That's why she wrote in the first place, rather than trying to talk.

She's somewhere very cold and dark and doesn't know where she is, but she found this Journal and read it because... Well. Books with her name written on them don't happen every day. She knows it's daylight out wherever the sky can be seen, but that doesn't really give her much of a time frame to go on.

So, basic idea of Luceti, down. The rest? Is taking its time to settle. She'll have a proper freak out later, when she knows it's not a matter of life and death. For now, she's focusing on just breathing. And really hoping for that therapist.]


(Alex appeared in the tunnel, just before it goes under the mountains. She'll have some work figuring out where she is, but someone who wants to help her out would be great!)

House is everywhere. Stores is everywhere. Food is grocery, also stream, also not me. Therapist is own problem.

Our panel of judges are still deliberating, but let me assure you that you're definitely in the running for the Least Helpful award.

Will be ceremony or trophy comes in mail?

[idealism]

I can help you find some place to live, if you still need that. But I have no idea if there are any therapists here.

[Oh! Camera on! At least on his side. Progress!]

Could really use that. So. How do I turn on the camera on this thing? No clue where I am and getting that up and working might help if someone else recognizes the place.

[idealism]

[He gestures to the left in his video, trying to show where he means on the journal.]

There's a button over there. [Point, point.]

But I think I will be able to find you if you give me your whole name.

[oneofthelost]

I've got someone coming for me, but my name'ss Alex Tate. Or do you need like full full name?

[entreats]

Don't we all need a therapist nowadays? Especially when surrounded by weird people. .. Or weird circumstances, I guess, in your case.

written;

[oneofthelost]

I've met very, very few people who couldn't benefit from a good therapist they trust.

[entreats]

I think that's one of the most sensible things I've heard here in a long time, actually.

You don't seem too bad for a newcomer.

[oneofthelost]

Well, it could be the shock talking right now.

[ written ]

[herotypical]

Will a burned out ex-school-guidance-counsellor suffice?

Welcome to Luceti, Alex.

[ written ]

[oneofthelost]

If you're good with dealing with the whole kidnapped, have wings, what the hell is my life? Totally fine with me.

[ written ]

[herotypical]

Look no further. After all, you and me at least have that in common.

[ but buffy suspects that's where the similarities end.

hah. ]

[oneofthelost]

Think I might still be a little in shock. Calm about it now, all that. Read the guide thing.

How crazy should I expect all this to get?

[spohkh]

It is well to make your acquaintance Miss Alx, I am Spock. Welcome to Luceti... Welcome being all I can offer given our circumstances.

[oneofthelost]

Thanks. Guess it could be worse. Nothing's tried to kill me yet, at least.

[spohkh]

Indeed. Though unless provoked, the residents of Luceti shall do you no harm. Our captors on the other hand, are far more dangerous.

Have you sufficiently oriented yourself with the journal?

[oneofthelost]

I prefer to keep myself armed just in case. Been in a lot of "no one here will hurt you" places where that wasn't quite right. But so far people seem okay.

[markofthewise]

I guess that leaves me for the bow and arrows. I'm Sokka from the smithy.

[Written]

[oneofthelost]

Smithy, huh? That's awesome. I could use some custom work on the arrows, if you can.

[Though dealing with someone instead of a "here you are, take what you will" like the housing seemed to be... That prompts a question.]

How do I pay you?

[Written]

[markofthewise]

Well, there's no money. Well, I mean, I've made money. But you can't really buy anything with it. And it was just a gift. So really, payment isn't exactly an option around here. So generally speaking writing, I just work for favors. I do a thing, then later if I need something that you can do, I get you to do it.

[He didn't like working for free anymore than some people disliked getting things for free. It made his efforts seem far too shallow. Unfortunately he typically wanted for little, so he'd manage to accumulate a lot of favors. Though a lot of those favors tended to expire when the people owing them went home.]

[emp3thy]

There's the SOS Brigade for therapy, although I'm not sure I can recommend them.

But the journal is the best place to find someone to talk to.

[oneofthelost]

SOS Brigade? What's that? What sort of certification and training do they have?

[emp3thy]

It's a club that a girl named Haruhi Suzumiya formed. And their certification is that she decided to give therapy.
