So, uh... I don't know if you guys remember our adventure down memory lane, but I have to say it wasn't exactly fun. Thanks for dealing with me back then, guys. I know I wasn't exactly the most talkative person around. [being purposefully vague! Observers can note that she's calmly eating lunch in what seems to be a pretty deserted place otherwise. ... Not that Cissie minds; it just gives her more privacy for this transmission.]

Also, while we're at it... Is anyone good at these puzzle games? All the doors I've encountered today are really fond of playing Sphinx with me. I'm okay at them, but I think even I'll have to travel down to the library if I want to get around town like a normal person.

... Not that anything "normal" ever happens around here.

Bingo. There's the people who've lived here for forever... and then there's us, the new residents. We're not allowed to leave. You're welcome to try, but they've magicked it so that it's an endless loop.

... Yeah, actually, it was. [curiouser and curiouser!]

I thought it might be. [her expression is very severe now, that friendly smile of greeting long gone] But why would they do that? Do you know why they brought you here?

[Erk, the questions... Cissie's going to filter this simply because she's not sure if the old residents can see these transmissions or not.]

From what I understand, they brought us here because "we volunteered to come." Supposedly we filled out an application and everything. It's part of some new program they're trying out.

Of course, some people never did like the idea of us coming here. So there were two factions: those who liked us and those who didn't. The ones who don't like us - I assume - are probably the ones behind these troublesome schemes... and the ones who do were probably the ones giving us clues.

I'm afraid a lot of this is conjecture, and I don't have all the answers. You might be better off asking Fuu next time you see her.

Ahh, yes, I met her. But it seems she wouldn't have had all her memories at the time...

Maybe one thing we need to find out is why this faction who "likes us" would have brought you here. That could be helpful in finding a way to leave.

By now, everyone's regained their memories. And Fuu, ah... she was smart enough to keep detailed records of everything. Makes me wish I'd kept a diary.

... That's a good idea. I haven't asked around yet, but I'll be sure to do so now if I can.

[a bit of warmth slips back into her tone] You could always start now.

I'll ask, too. Let me know what you find out, won't you?

True! I think... once these doors stop being bothersome, I'll go out and buy a diary.

But of course, Miss Sara! I'll be sure to tell you as soon as something juicy comes up.

I might just have to do the same! [it's an amusing thought, after more than a thousand years of relying on her memory. even moreso after more than a thousand years of having no hands!]

Good. Thank you, Cissie!
