[The communicator comes on partway through a sentence.]

-essing this button?

[The man speaking has a young looking face, but there are lines enough to hint that he's older than he looks.]

That's right, kupo!

[He laughs.] My friend, I am called Tonane.

Yes, you said, kupo.

[Tonane laughs again. Whatever the being is, it's not an evil spirit] And now I can speak with the people living here? [He looks at the camera.] Hello people of the world beyond the darkness. I am called Tonane and I have never traveled this way before. The only other world I have gone to was through the Circle of Standing Water.

My friend here... [He looks at the moogle.] I do not know what to call him. He is not a demon and he is not a spirit. My friend says that there is a building I may sleep in. I do not know where to find it. There are more buildings here than I have ever seen.

You're friend is called a Moogle and the place it was mentioning is the inn all new arrivals stay at for a short while.

What are Moogles?

[He nods.] Yes, that was the building my friend mentioned. Which one is it?

[pinkhairedkitty.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know what exactly a Moogle is, I just know that they are very cute and very helpful to others.

Ummm, well I know it's in the Second District and there is a clear sign saying Hotel. That's the place you will be staying at.

Ah, I will look for the sign. Thank you, my friend.

What is your name?

[pinkhairedkitty.livejournal.com]

My name is Yuiko, mister.

[there's a young girl tilting her head puzzingly] The...Circle of Standing Water? Is that...like a mirror or something?

Oh. Those are moogles. They're rather helpful. [for beings that looked like talking plushies, that is]

video

[tonane.livejournal.com]

No. It is a big circle full of water that just stays like that. It looks as though a lake has stood up.

My friend Yuiko called them Moogles, too. I have not seen one before.

Re: video

[nextohim.livejournal.com]

Really? Never heard of anything like that.

I hadn't either. I guess they're native here.

They are how my friends Jack and Sam explore other worlds.

Oh. So they are aliens?

Re: video

[nextohim.livejournal.com]

Oh so you are used to other worlds then.

Aliens? [huh she never thought of it that way] I guess so...

[Ami is interested in this!]

Circle of Standing Water? Could you explain, please?

[Video]

[tonane.livejournal.com]

It is a big stone circle with many symbols around it. When it is awake, it is as though a lake has stood up.

Re: [Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

It sounds very beautiful. I'd like to see something like that some day.

[Video]

[tonane.livejournal.com]

If I can learn how to return to my world, you may visit and come to see the Circle of Standing Water. I am certain Xe'ls and T'akaya would not mind.

Re: [Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but I couldn't just intrude like that.

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

Guten tag.
You must have only just arrived?

[Video]

[tonane.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. What is 'guten tag'?

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

It is a greeting in a language from my world. It means ‘hello’.

Are you…? You wouldn’t be from Earth too, would you?

[Video]

[tonane.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Then guten tag, my friend.

No, I am not, but my friend Daniel says that my ancestors came from Earth.

[Video]

[executionerrose.livejournal.com]

What world did you come from then?

[It was unlikely it would be recognized but curiosity demanded the question be asked all the same. ]

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

The world beyond the darkness? [The man looks puzzled at first but then he smiles] You certainly have a way with words sir. I haven't heard anyone refer to it like that before and I must say it is the most adequate way to describe it.

That is a moogle. They assist anyone that manages to find themselves here. That building it's referring to must be the inn. It shouldn't be too far from where you are now.

Video

[tonane.livejournal.com]

[He smiles.] It seemed to be the only way to describe it.

Ah, I shall look for that building then. I thank you, my friend.

Video

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

It is better than "this place" or "this city".

You are most welcome. [Pleased by the response. It's only their first conversation and they're already friends] If you need anything further do not be afraid to ask.

I'm Agni [Humbly bows] and you are?

Video

[tonane.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is I suppose.

Thank you, my friend. I will.

I am Tonane.

Video

[namaste-jagat.livejournal.com]

It is nice to meet you Tonane.

Might I inquire as to where you're from?
