For an interdimensional kidnapping ring, this is very orderly and convenient. How true is everything in this pamphlet?

Also who are you people? You're not behind this are you? I'm warning you that I am a super hero (in training) and I will punish evil doers without remorse. So, you know, I might have to beat you up.

[...yup. Apparently that's it.]

Wait, please don't be hasty! This isn't a kidnapping ring!

If it was, wouldn't there be a lot more ummm... shady masked people and tied up victims being dragged all over the place?

The pamphlet's true as far as I know. Genessia's pretty big.

[froppy]

Oh I wasn't going to do anything hasty. That's why I asked first.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Good!

As far as we know, Genessia's more like a gathering place than anything. There are people from all sorts of worlds around here. I haven't seen anyone directly from the world I know for instance, but they're very similar!

[froppy]

I harbor suspicions, but I'll accept this for now.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I guess I can't blame you, but you should talk with other people. It'll make things easier for you.

By the way, I'm Konoka Konoe. And you are...?

[froppy]

Did I not introduce myself? I guess I didn't.

Asui Tsuyu.

Punish evildoers without remorse? Ted's likes the cut of her jib.

"All true, as far as we know. I'm reasonably certain no one likely to reply is behind this, though the motive probably isn't quite as sinister as you imagine. This place likely napped us out purely out of desperation, with a bit of curiosity for good measure."

[froppy]

...Desperation?

[youfool]

Yes. Despite the name, Genessia appears to have no productive powers of its own, so it felt the need to...er, borrow us. Or copy us, one of the two.

[froppy]

I thought Genessia was the city. Is it alive somehow?

[youfool]

Yes, the one you're in now. It's also the world as we know it. And yes, Genessia is most definitely alive, or else it pulls off a very convincing imitation of life. It has wills, desires, can be thwarted, etc. I've even seen a native spirit.

[Aw, how adorable.]

Alas, you won't find the 'kidnappers' by just asking for them on the communicators like this. Whoever brought us all here is cunningly keeping very quiet.

[froppy]

Darn. Well it was worth a shot.

[froppy]

Genius Loci.

[youfool]

For all his vocabulary, that one stumped him.

"Now it's my turn to be puzzled. What does that mean?"

[froppy]

A place that has a will of it's own. They come up in fantasy novels and stuff sometimes. I never thought I'd find one in real life.

[youfool]

Ted was so interested in this new term that he looked it up as she explained. Thank you, whatever version of Wikipedia exists here.

"Well chosen phrase! Yes, you have that exactly right. That's not the only fantastic thing you'll find here either. I've probably found everything under the sun, save one. What fantasy novels have you read, anyway?" He asked as both a fellow enthusiast, and to suss out whether she was an earthling.

[froppy]

I think there was one in the Dresden Files? It's been a while since I read those.

What's the one thing you haven't found?

[charmingdeception]

What if I was behind it all?

voice;

[pinklight]

I'm Hikari Yagami. Since you asked about who were are anyway.

[Though it was nice that there were people like this, although she did hope they wouldn't just attack anyone.]

[froppy]

Then I'd have to stop you. Weren't you listening?

I don't think you are, though.

[froppy]

Nice to meet you. I'm Asui Tsuyu.

Take that, 2D!

[youfool]

"...Huh. A sheriff of ours, long gone, went by Dresden too. Odd coincidence, if you believe in those." Not exactly Phantastes, but good to know she has some interest in literature.

"I guess it's not so much a fantasy I'm looking for as a miracle; the miracle of repentance. But those are in short supply these days."

[froppy]

"Probably a coincidence" She said, dismissively.

"I don't know about repentance, though. That's probably just between you and whoever your wronged, really."

[youfool]

"Well that's more of a three-party sys--hey! Why so quick to assume I'm the wrongdoer?"
