[Standing in the village square, wanting to talk to people, but he doesn't know who to talk to. He really should go to the New Feather Integration Center...perhaps he will...but for now he wants to meet some people who have been here for a while (especially strangers).]

[Jay is currently wearing his normal shorts, shoes, and black stockings, but is holding his jacket in his arms. He doesn't put it on out of fear of irritating his already aching wings...]

...

...

[Come talk to him?]

Comments

[fallenambitions]

[he frowns, unable to help the pain subside]...The pain will pass. You should take that coat to the clothing store. They'll modify it so the wings can come through, free of charge.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see...everything here is free, isn't it? I remember reading the guide...

Pardon me, but...who might you be?

[fallenambitions]

It is.

My name is Alexei. I came here a little over a week ago. May I ask for your name?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Looks up and manages to smile, but his voice remains timid for the moment.]

Um...I'm Jay. Please to make your acquaintance.

[fallenambitions]

A pleasure, Jay. Is there anything else that I may help you with? Perhaps if you tell me your interest, I may direct you to someplace that might fancy you.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Well...I've read that I may be able to find my daggers at the weapon shop.

Back home, I'm an information dealer by profession. In my leisure, I like to relax with my friends.

[fallenambitions]

Oh, is that so? [possible valuable ally? hmmm] I was able to find my sword at the weapon shop, so I'm sure you'll be able to receive yours.

Well, your profession might come useful for New Feathers that come through here. Perhaps volunteering at the Welcome Center might interest you one day.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Indeed. So, Alexei...what do you do?

Volunteering at the Welcome Center and helping the New Feathers? I suppose I could. I'm much more interested in searching for a way to escape this place, however.

[fallenambitions]

I...I lead the Imperial Knights back home. Here, I do small projects that hopefully will be beneficial for others and try to work out the kidnappings that happen here.

Hm, you are one of many, seeking a way out.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Imperial Knights, hmm? [Jay sounds intrigued.] Well, he does look like a noble...

Well, I can't imagine that anyone would be thrilled with being a guinea pig for some unknown experiment...

[fallenambitions]

We uphold the law and keep the peace for the Empire. That is our duty.

[he chuckles] I have yet to experience these experiments, besides the wings. Though I agree that no one would want to be tested on. There are those who have been here for more then a year though...it doesn't sound promising for any attempts to leave.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Duty, huh? Just don't let it go to your head. I've seen people do some...questionable things for the sake of duty or honor...or whatever the noble military types fight for.

[He sighs.] Well...I won't give up. But before I can even start, I'd better learn more about this place, and these Malnosso people as well. ...They are people, aren't they?

[fallenambitions]

Hehe, I doubt it will while I'm here.

I'm sure you will become accustom to this place quickly...I only know that Malnosso are a group of scientists. I have never confronted them nor have I asked about their appearance.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see... So...would you have any recommendations on whom I should meet? Any fighters or healers, or anyone who knows a lot about this place?

[fallenambitions]

Hmm...I suggest looking for someone name Raine Sage. She was the one who made the guide and seems to have been here for quite some time. There is also Martel who helps run the Welcome Center and...there are also two organizations that assist residents when there's trouble you can check with.

I know of Brave Vesperia, but I'm not too familiar with the Blue Rogues mention in the guide.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see. Well, I suppose I'll head to the clothing shop to get my jacket fixed now. Thank you.

[fallenambitions]

You are welcome. Perhaps we will talk again sometime? I enjoy this chat we've had.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. There were a few places for leisure, correct? Like...what was it called...the Good Spirits bar? Do they serve anything besides alcohol?

Or are there any other places to relax?

[fallenambitions]

I've only been to the bar once...you'll have to speak with the bartender there. There's always the library, the Seventh Heaven restaurant and various open areas in the village. Depends on your preference.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see. I'll be sure to visit all of these places sometime. Where would I be most likely to find you?

[fallenambitions]

I'm usually out patrolling the village. If I'm at least not at the library, then you may try contacting me through the journal.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Ah...right.

[Jay pulls out his journal and looks at it.]

These journals act as communication devices. I'm still not sure how to work it, but I'll figure it out.

Well, thank you again, Alexei.

[fallenambitions]

You are welcome, Jay. I hope you find everything that you need than.
