[Falan had a lot of her mind as she came to. Feeling extremely groggy, she thought nothing of it. She hadn't been sleeping well for the past week or so since she'd found out about what happened to Duzell. She was able to find out just what exactly Duzell was to Ishtar shortly after while trying to comfort her dear cousin and her best friend, but perhaps she'd learned more than Ishtar intended. Regardless, Duzell's sacrifice was definitely hard on Ishtar. She could tell that much. Waking up feeling like she hadn't gotten the best sleep wasn't at all surprising to her.

However waking up to find herself in some sort of cocoon was a surprise. She hadn't been there the night before. She'd stayed up all night talking to Ishtar, trying to raise her spirits. She played it off like she was fine, but Falan knew her cousin better than that. She just wanted to be there for her. It didn't take long for Falan to realize that she wasn't home and notice the necklace, videocamera, and the manila folder. Promptly reading the contents of the pamphlet, she tried to remain calm. To be honest, Falan wasn't sure what to think. It wouldn't do her any good to freak out though. After looking over everything, she put the necklace on as she grabbed the videocamera and folder and tried to look around.

At least the pamphlet did say where they were and give proper instructions, but Falan couldn't make heads or tails of it. The best thing she could do was look around and try to find more answers. Maybe she could find somebody she knew?

After fiddling with the videocamera, she finally managed to turn it on. Sure she'd talked to Ishtar and the others through her mirror, but this device had a lot more options to it. So at first, all people see is part of Falan's green eye and light silver hair.]

Uhm... Excuse me... I'm not sure if I'm using this right, but I'm looking for answers to my questions.

My name is Falan, Princess of Ci Xeneth. [Or should she refer to herself as Queen...? No, that felt too weird....] I'm aware that this place is called.... Genessia by the locals? I just had a few questions that I need to be answered if it's possible.

Before that, I'm looking for anybody that I might know. There's a girl with long, dark hair and green eyes. She tends to cause mischief where she goes... [Oh, maybe she shouldn't mention Duzell....?] Her name is Ishtar and she is my cousin. I'd really appreciate it if somebody could point me in her direction. Ishtar has a bodyguard named Darres if anyone is familiar with him. There's also a tall, dark skinned guy named Vord.

[and then she paused once more... This time a little more uncertain.]

The other person who might be around here.... His name is Illsaide and has red hair. He's a knight and is wearing armor...

If anybody can direct me to them, I would be most grateful. Thank you very much.

[With that, she finally tuns off the feed to continue her exploring.]

From the future? I did not realize time-travel became possible in Pheliosta.

Ishtar, is she safe now?

Not in Pheliosta.... I've heard that it's common here that people come at different time points.... I don't quite understand it myself yet, but I guess that's just how this place -- and others like it -- are.

Ishtar... Yes. Back home, she's physically safe and sound.

Curious. Do you mean to tell me that it is possible for say, Darres, to appear here, but when he was still a child? Or for for Vord to appear here as an old man?

Physically? Anything I should know about?

I'm... honestly not sure. I don't imagine it would be impossible. Weird though...

[And she's sort of hesitant.]

It's... one thing to be okay physically but... Emotionally is another story...

Interesting.

[And that's all he has to say on the matter. Because indeed, this presents a possibility for him to see Ishtar here at one point in time. For now, he won't get his hopes up.]

Emotionally? Is something wrong with her relationship with Darres? I'd hope when I died, Ishtar would have forced Darres to marry her already.

O-Oh no... They're fine. That's not what I was talking about though. After.... La gamme....

What about it?

Did someone torment her afterwards?

N-No! Not at all!

Her pain was more... emotional than physical after it...

I don't understand. You'll need to speak more clearly.

Ishtar.... She was... so sad to see you cast La Gamme... I mean... She doesn't really show it so obviously but I know her well enough.

She was sad, because of me? Why?

Because you're important to her.... Seeing you sacrifice yourself like that... It was hard on her.

I didn't need her to care about me.
