Day 3 | ~Trapped~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion turns on her CAT's audio function with a sigh. This is the first time she's willingly sent something out like this, and it makes her a little nervous. Still... She's been stuck out here in the garden for hours and hasn't seen anyone else, and she can't find the way out.]

Hi. I'm... uh. I'm stuck in the greenhouse place. I can't find my way out. Is there anyone who can help me? Or... something?

I know there are other people stuck, too. I haven't run into anyone, though.

And... Is anyone else hearing music?

[Sophie is now in the town square rather than the gardens, despite her earlier broadcast about being trapped.]

Xion, that music is the way out! You need find where it's coming from.

I can confirm that as well, Xion. I just got out myself. [Fuu holds out her CAT a bit more to show the outside of the greenhouse.]

When I was going all over yesterday helping Audrey out, I noticed that some places have louder music than others. And then, well...

I'm afraid it was another odd treasure hunt, ne?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Oh! So I just follow the music?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Treasure hunt?

[fortune_sought]

Yes. The music led me to a box. After I had found the box, I was able to use the gardens' exits. It seems likely that one of the items in the box must have been the key to getting past the misdirection spell.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Oh... Okay.

[Misdirection spell...] There's a lot of those here, huh? "Misdirection spells."

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Yep. Just as Miss Sophie explained, it was a hunt indeed. And the treasure might not look like much, [holds up the blank piece of paper] but given the circumstances around how I found it, I'm betting it's important.

[Shrugs] And even if it's not, no harm in keeping it!

[fortune_sought]

[makes a face] So it seems. [she knows she's making an assumption about how the town works, but it makes more sense to her to look at it that way]

Have you worked out which direction to go?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

All right. I'll keep searching, then.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Xion knows by now that even her portals don't take her out of town. She doesn't even have the faintest idea of how it works, so if Sophie says it's a misdirection spell, she'll just... run with it.]

Um... [She pauses, closing her eyes for a moment to focus her hearing.] ... Yeah, I think so.

[fortune_sought]

[nods] Good. Keep following it, and you should find the box.

... she'll take her hood off someday, *I swear*

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll do that. Thanks.

[fortune_sought]

[nods] Just take care.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I will.
