Hello?

((Anyway, whatever first one or two threads he has will be a little more inspiring, now that he knows he isn't alone. Prior to all of this, he's only been sitting where he woke up, looking around.))

What a funny little device. I had thought I'd lost my marbles when I first heard it at work. Everyone can hear me here, can't they? I'm Clive Dove and it seems I'm a far, far way from home. I'm in no rush to return, so is there perhaps a place I could lodge or find clothes until I've got myself sort out here?

[Luke had warned him that there was likely to be an influx of newcomers soon, and it seemed he was not wrong.]

"I would be happy to guide you to the village, but I shall need to determine your location first. Can you describe your surroundings?"

My, you're all quite friendly and obliging around here. I've a fellow already directing me, but the gesture is truly appreciated.

"We tend to stick together here, yes. Very well; if you need anything further, do not hesitate to ask. I assume you've acquainted yourselves with the workings of the journals?"

It's how we speak to one another, no?

"By and large. It also serves as a means for members of the Malnosso to contact us, however, so do be on the lookout for that."

Oh, so we hear from them? Has anyone seen them?

"Not to my knowledge."

[Though he's been wracking his mind trying to find a way of changing that.]

"However, they occasionally announce small tasks that they would like us to volunteer for. Missions, primarily exploratory from what I understand."

Oh, how exciting. We're their lab rats and their errand dogs. My life's dreams are complete. ((THIS SARCASM. CAN YOU HOLD IT.))

"The situation is not ideal, I will acknowledge, but it is better to make the most of it rather than expend energy resisting that which one cannot change, is it not?"

Of course, I'm only a little disappointed this is how I'm going to be delaying my time. Maybe I'll "expend" extra energy just enjoying things.

"It sounds like a far more positive use of time and energy to me. I'm given to understand that given enough time, we are to be returned to our homes."

Oh? And how does one go about that?

"... It is, currently, at the discretion of the Malnosso. That said, one is returned to the time and place one departed from, so time is not an issue."

Ah, what a shame. Now I don't know how many buttons I can push before I'm too much trouble.

"I would not encourage testing boundaries without cause, as it could lead to painful repercussions in this place. That said, the Malnosso possess the ability to bring one back from death.

Though they'll typically take something from you in the process, and you have to earn it back, so I'd still avoid it."

... No. The dead don't come back to life.

"It is not typically wise to present such absolute statements." [Not judgmental. Simply a word of advice.]

"In truth, I haven't the faintest idea how they go about it, but the Malnosso possess technology beyond any I've ever encountered."

((lkjlkj Wow Clive's pride actually took a hit there. I have to congratulate you.))

If they possess the ability to bring the dead supposedly back to life, then there's obviously more going on than simply god-like powers.

...No, forgive me. I think it's obvious to you that there is "something more going on".

[Aw, he didn't mean it!]

"There is indeed more going on here, and I am quite interested to unravel more of these mysteries, myself. That said, you needn't worry; most of the residents here are friendly and help one-another when possible, so you'll never lack for an ally to help ease your frustration."

As I noticed. You're all quite charming in that respect. I'm almost surprised.

"We do our best. If you had any other questions about this place, I'd be happy to provide what answers I know."

For now, as far as Luceti goes, I'm feeling satisfied. Though, there is the question of your name sir... I do hope you know the answer to that. ((A little laugh.))

"I'm not quite that old, my friend. Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am honored to make your acquaintance."

Likewise, Mr. Kenobi. It's always a pleasure to meet people of your type. I'm already feeling hopeful about this place.
