[ Well, that's good! He had the door open and was this || close to bolting out of it, but Alphinaud carefully looks over his shoulder instead.

It. It's safe. Oh thank goodness. ]

P— pray forgive me for such a grave oversight, I—I should have known better.

[ WHY IS HE STILL BEING ROOMED WITH WOMEN!!!!!! ]

[misstrust]

There's really no harm done. I know you're not a brute.

[ But that reaction was adorable. ]

So it seems you're my new roommate for the... week? I wonder if that's how it's to be, going forward.

[arcsplainist]

A... aye, so it would appear.

[ The door now shut, Alphinaud slinks his way back in again. ]

The room itself has likewise changed. It is... smaller from last I recall.

[misstrust]

Which makes no sense, but I suppose the same amount of sense as anything else that's happened thus far.

[ Nothing makes sense here. ]

I've never seen a room look quite like this, either.

[arcsplainist]

[ Yeah... There's so many impossibilities happening on top of awful things it honestly makes his head spin. ]

Nor have I, but I confess there is much around I've yet to see before. Mayhap this is normal in some other world out there...? I have noticed there are many around who are already familiar with the things you can find.

[misstrust]

I'm not one of them. The... ah, "arcade" was an experience, to be sure.

[ VICTORIAN ENGLAND DOES NOT HAVE THIS SHIT. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Nor does ye olde fantasy land... ]

You too, then! I had almost begun to feel as if I were alone in my, say... lack of knowledge, but it is a relief to hear I am not the only one in the dark. Nevertheless, 'tis quite incredible, isn't it?

[misstrust]

Believe me, you're far from alone. I'm sure what we have might be considered unknown to the others as well.

[ Like his whole magic thing, for example. ]

But you're right, I'd certainly call it incredible!

[arcsplainist]

[ Yeah... Where the rest of his magic homies at? ]

... Hm! You do raise a good point. What would you say is normal for you, yet others around find peculiar?

[misstrust]

Ah, nothing yet... they just seem to be more knowledgeable than myself on certain things that my world doesn't have.

[arcsplainist]

[ Oh... hm. ]

Now, now—no need to be down about it. If nothing else, you still have a learning experience going on for you.

[misstrust]

Fair enough! I'm not disheartened, it's fine.

[ It's just kind of funny. ]
