[Voice] Cold Reality

[And here's Jay with another Cold Reality report.]

Another New Feather cycle, hmm? Welcome, I suppose...although this place isn't meant to be welcoming at all. And for those who are boldly making claims, please don't delude yourselves. You're in for a much more difficult task than you're anticipating. Thus, you won't be escaping from here anytime soon. Not by your own will, anyway. So whatever sanity you have, be sure to hold onto it, because it will be tested.

[W-Wait, he actually wants to? Norma was kind of just joking, but...she doesn't have anything to do at all, really. Getting out of the house would be good for her. Plus, even if it's not the bar, there was a teashop around here. At least she heard there was.]

Well, now, obviously! [Duh.] I mean, if you're not busy or anything.

Now? Isn't that a bit sudden?

[Sure, she's known for throwing random parties, but at least they usually had time to prepare for them...]

Of course there's a way out, but it's growing more and more difficult the longer we're trapped here.

Ever since that blue CEO appeared, there's been one mistake after another on the Malnosso's end, and it still hasn't led us to a way home. So waiting for them to trip up is not a reliable strategy.

Then it's startin' to look like they're losin' control. Could be that we're just focusin' on what they're screwin' up rather'n avoidin' it'n tryin' to get through the back door.

[He shrugs nonchalantly, clearly not too fussed about being here still. He hasn't had to deal with experiments yet, anyway.]

People just get hung up on doin' one thing. [He's one to talk.] Nothin' wrong with hangin' back'n lettin' 'em think we're ready to give up. Then bam - we're at their doors'n kickin' 'em in.

What else are you doing that's so important, huh? Yelling at people? Come on, JJ, we'll have a night out on the town! You can show me around and tell what's fun to do in this place!

[Because Norma is bored stiff. After the allure of Lucetiland disappeared, she's been anxious to get out and do something.]

Another problem is that the Malnosso aren't exactly a single force.

As much as I like the idea, we're going to have to do a lot more than just waiting around. But...

[He trails off, not wanting to admit that he has no clue what to do.]

There's nothing "fun" around here, Norma. [At least, not in his point of view.] This is a prison, after all.

Neither're we. There's a lotta us here'n some of us could do a hell of a lot more'n we think we can.

[He carefully rolls up the pelt he was fiddling with, setting it aside with others that match it.]

Watch'n wait or start lettin' some of 'em go underground'n scout around. They'd be expectin' guys like us to get all noisy at 'em but the quiet ones're the scary ones. Them Malnosso can't be everywhere at once.

The only time we can really work together and accomplish anything is during these drafts.

[Really, it's not like Jay hasn't tried to work with the population before, but they're either too stupid or too stubborn.]

Scouting underground won't do us any good. You do realize that the Malnosso are located outside of the barrier, don't you? We can't reach them from here at all.

[Wow, way to be a downer, JJ. Norma's trying to cheer you up here! She pouts, puffing out her lower lip to the camera.] Oooh, come on, JJ! The Malno-nos made that amusement park thing for us, right? There's gotta be something else here that's fun! You're supposed to be the informant, right? So, inform already!

[Well, he's not quite done being a downer yet. However, he could take this opportunity to have a little fun at someone else's expense.]

Fine...but it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, though.

[Jay, you troll.]

What?! You can't charge me! That's totally not fair! There's no gald or money here at all, Red told me so! [You may dear a dull thud in the background, Norma just stomped her foot.] ...But if it's an arm and a leg you want, I think I can provide. I just need one stupid bandit...and a good, sharp, finely polished saw.

[SH-SHE'S JUST KIDDING. Really. ...Maybe. <___<]

And that's why I would charge an arm and a leg. I didn't say anything about money.

[There's a heavy sigh.]

On the other hand, I'll pass on that offer.

[Which means maybe he was kidding about the arm and leg thing as well.]

Like hell. Sure see a bunch of people workin' together when new folk get dumped in here, y'know.

[He's not buying that. Perhaps no one's actually tried. Or there are too many cooks, not enough pots.]

You're tellin' me that barrier ain't dropped once?

And what exactly does that accomplish? It doesn't get anyone any closer to escaping from this place.

[The bandit will learn one day; Jay's so certain that even Moses is capable of learning that...eventually. At this point, all this optimism is starting to annoy him.]

The barrier certainly hasn't dropped from any of our efforts. The last time it malfunctioned, it led to a full-scale monster invasion. Not to mention, if the barrier were to be removed, it would invite the Third Party in to attack.

[So in a way, the barrier is a good thing as much as it is a bad thing.]

Not right away but sometimes you gotta give it time. You don't like tryin' things that you ain't sure're gonna work but givin' it a chance don't hurt neither.

[The optimism, it burnses us, precious. It BURNS.]

'Sides, them Third Party bastards get enough shots at us 'cause of the Malnosso sendin' us out to start killin' 'em. You even try to rush 'em when the barrier was down'n the monsters were causin' distractions everywhere?
