2nd Crystal: [Written]

[cladinthedark]

Should you need to contact me in person, I have taken up residence in Community Housing Building Two, fourth floor, room sixteen.

Also, I should like to hear a bit more detail about the allies you've managed to gather for yourself in this world.

This place has proven remarkably easy to settle into.  With housing, foodstuffs, and even personal belongings so easily accessible, it is easy to forget the reality of the situation.

Right up until we are reminded, at least.

Which reminds me, if anyone is willing to share their experiences with past "experiments", I would be most interested in hearing about them.

Well, there was one experiment that made everyone say the first thing on their minds. That one was kind of embarrassing.

I suppose it would be, especially if one was trying to keep secrets. I'll have to make note of that one.

[knightofratatosk]

And then there was another one where everyone saw ghosts.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Ghosts? Can you be more specific?

[knightofratatosk]

Ghosts of... well, not just people who were close to us, because Diavolo wasn't...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

But people you knew, specifically.

[knightofratatosk]

Yes.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

And ones you had seen dead. That's a significantly unpleasant one...

Are there any others you can think of?

[knightofratatosk]

I think those are the only ones I've been here for. Oh, wait... there was something else with a maze, but I was kidnapped while that one was going on.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I see. Thank you for the information... Ah, I apologize. I never asked your name.

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, I'm Emil. It's nice to meet you.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

A pleasure, Emil. I am Golbez.

[knightofratatosk]

Are you a New Feather?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Yes. I arrived a few days ago.

[knightofratatosk]

You should be careful... they've been kidnapping a lot of people lately.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Your concern is appreciated. I'll keep my eyes open.

[knightofratatosk]

Right.
