[Wearing a thick cloak and hands buried deeply in his pockets, Yuan is stumping through Luceti, heading for the forest. Things are getting far too crowded for his liking, so he'll go out to find some peace and quiet. He's bringing his journal along just in case, unaware it's recording:]

...Damn. It's so cold, you could hammer a nail with a frozen banana.

Luceti. It's another world, which seems to be mostly controlled by the Malnosso.

[The Malnosso control everything in the barrier, anyway, and seem to have a good influence on what goes on outside. Too bad the villagers never get details on that.]

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

...great, just great. Another world.

I'll have to ask Sheena if she's ever been here, too...

[fortunefail]

This sort of thing is common for you?

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

As of late, yeah. Been bouncing around between two nexuuses for a while now, and then this happens.

[fortunefail]

Nexuses? Just how many places like this are there?

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

So far, I've ended up in two.

Including this place, that's... three. And there's probably a lot more, too.

[fortunefail]

So you end up in one nexus you're unable to leave of your own accord, only to be taken to another. That's an interesting bit of information.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If there's an exit, someone or smoething doesn't want us to figure it out.

[fortunefail]

Yet it seems one nexus can influence the other. To leave one world, you have to make sure another one draws you in.

[It's too bad he's going to forget all about this theory when the event is over. It might've actually been useful somehow.]

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

...huh. That... would make sense. I didn't even realize I'd left the first world, Infinity, until the scenery looked different.

[fortunefail]

Hm... Normally, the Malnosso would oversee whoever enters the barrier from the outside and provide them with wings. For some reason, you missed out on that procedure.

[Ffft. Interesting, indeed.]

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

Huh.

If that's the case, that would mean there's another way into the barrier. One that doesn't have this "Malnosso" people guarding it.

[fortunefail]

Yes, it would. Either that, or something prevented the Malnosso from going through with the usual procedure.

[He thinks for a moment, before looking up to meet Zelos' eyes.]

Turn around and lift your hair. I need to see your neck.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

Huh? Sure... I don't know what you're expecting to find, but by all means.

[fortunefail]

[He's looking for the barcode, of course. But thanks to the fourth wall rules, there won't be one.]

... I see.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you were looking for something there...

[fortunefail]

I was looking for this.

[He turns around and lifts his own hair to reveal the barcode tattoo.]

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

...what.



That... what the hell?

[fortunefail]

[He turns back to face Zelos, not looking too pleased.]

That's a mark of our imprisonment. All the residents have one.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

...that's gotta suck. That and wings -- makes me kinda glad the nexus I'm in doesn't stick that on me.

[fortunefail]

You get used to it after a while. ... In fact, we don't have a choice but to get used to it. There are more important matters to worry about in this place.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

Really...? What kind of matters are we talking here?

[fortunefail]

Experiments, for the most part.

[broken-chosen.livejournal.com]

...damn.

I'd rather take the events at my nexus than experiments, any day.
