[For a long time, the Battle Dome had never truly caught Yuan's interest. That is, until a few weeks ago, when Luke Skywalker had used it to create a flight simulation for crafts from his own world. That's when Yuan had realized just how much potential the Battle Dome truly has.

Choosing an environment had been tricky. While he'd been determined to recreate something from his own world, most locations left a bitter taste in his mouth. The holy ground of Kharlan, the forest of the elves, the Asgard region... There wasn't much land that wouldn't make him restless just from seeing it, let alone walking across it. What he needed was something that would calm him and finally, he'd settled on the floating city of Exire, haven for all those with elven blood. Exire as it'd been back in its prime, the houses in an untarnished state and welcoming, with colorful gardens out front. The time when the paved roads were not yet covered with moss and Maxwell's altar was adorned with offerings.

It was one of the few feats the Kharlan Heroes accomplished that he was actually still proud of, even with the way the city had decayed over time.

With no villagers programmed into the setting, the city is peaceful. The only sound to be heard is the wind rustling through the treetops as the interlinked islands travel over endless ocean. Yuan hadn't bothered to lock the simulation- he doesn't see why he should. If someone were to venture inside, they'll find him in the village square, tinkering with a Rheaird. It was recreated in perfect detail from the blueprints he'd drawn from memory a few years ago and updated whenever he'd requested a Rheaird during drafts. He doesn't need the Rheaird for flying purposes, he just wanted something to keep himself busy with. To take something apart that's magitechnology, not the electronics that can be found in Luceti's shops. Noishe, the large white and green Arshis, is dashing cheerfully between the islands. Yuan had figured that he shouldn't be the only one to enjoy the familiar sights and while the Battle Dome had intimidated Noishe at first, that anxiety had changed to excitement the moment the simulation started.

After so many years, there's little point in denying the fact that Yuan's homesick. Or rather, sick of Luceti, but there's hardly a difference between the two.]

[While Jeb's initial plan had been to train a little bit in the Battle Dome, the plan is at least temporarily lost when he stumbles across the simulation. If there's something Jeb enjoys, it's how real everything in these simulations seem to appear, even if he knows the truth.

And this one is amazing, absolutely beautiful. Did a place like this really exist within someone else's world? He's in the village square, close to Yuan, but he's pretty distracted by the sights to notice him yet.]

Wow...

[It was a dumb idea, anyway, but at the time Quinn thought it might be interesting. Creating a replica of the old Fashion Club headquarters, just to compare it to the new club. The new one would win, of course, but...well, Quinn would be lying if she claimed she didn't miss the old one a little.

But of course, she got distracted and never actually did it. And she's still there, staring at the exact thing that distracted her.

It's definitely a step up from what Sandi's bedroom would have been.]

It's like something from a movie...

[It's very rare when Naoto gets the chance to come to the battle dome anymore. She tries to come once a week but more often than not she finds herself knee deep in her own work, even missing some nights sleep just to work. It's an obsession for sure but it's all that's really keeping her sane too, with her close friends leaving and Luceti lacking the one thing she can't do much without, cases.

But today is one of those rare days when she steps out of the house to go and train for a little, stretch and maybe release some of the stress she's been under. Before she can go to make her own simulation however, she catches glimpse of a certain simulation that piques her interest.

It's beautiful, from what she can see of it and the man inside is no doubt one who's very familiar to her. And while she is cautious of allowing herself to get close to anyone anymore, she wants a closer look. With the door unlocked too, she seems to be allowed just that. And it's beauty is only much more than it was from what she could see on the outside. It was almost surreal.

She doesn't spend but a moment looking around curiously before speaking up to Yuan] Forgive my intrusion. It was not locked.
