Where am I..? -- ...OW!

[Well. This sucks.

And is quite painful too. I mean really, being strung to a tree by your underwear must be incredibly painful. Atsuro's just in luck, since that's exactly the predicament he's in right now! So you may find this loser ~~rolling around in a trash can~~ flailing around in a tree -- I mean.. this poor, confused new feather somewhere around the village, hanging from a tree and flailing around a bit while trying to get down.]

H-hey, can someone help me down...?! [WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON HERE.]

[Voice]
[Aaaand once that awful incident is through with, Atsuro will go ahead and tinker with his new fancy journal thing and throw up an entry! Just a tad too embarrassed to do it over video so.. Here, have some guy-who-is-literally-butthurt's voice.]

So uh.. has anyone else here arrived in really weird ways? [because really that was just awful.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[How rude, Leo! But it's okay; the branch probably won't be able to hold his weight for very long, anyway.]

Man... I can't reach well enough to get down myself.

[Aaand now he'll reach up and try to do so, which of course doesn't work. See, he can reach where the problem is but... being able to actually lift his underwear to get it off the branch? No can do.]

See? [SIIIIIGH.]

[BOING, goes the branch. Oh, goes Leo.]

Ah, that's a pity. [It seems to him that you're trying harder to prove that you can't get down that find your way down, man. But then, it's not like he doesn't have an idea, does he? It does seem unnecessarily frivolous, though.] I suppose I could help you then.

[HFKAHKFSA, goes Atsuro.]

Could you please? I feel like this branch is going to snap any second! [And that would hurt. A lot. Ugghhhh.]

[Sigh. He'd been trying to keep his use of his gun to a minimum till he'd gotten himself a steady supply of bullets but he really wasn't tall enough to go around tugging at his shoes either.

So out comes the gun.

And he points it upwards.]

[And here is Atsuro.

Slightly panicked at the sight of the gun.

Just... really hoping here that Leo knows what he's doing please don't shoot him please don't shoot him pleaaaase.]

[Excuse you, Atsuro, he's trying to aim here.

Ah—]

Could you move your head more to the right?

Uh... Y-yeah, sure thing.

[Awkwardly moving his head to the right then! ..pleasedon'tshoothimpleasedon'tshoothim.]

[Good boy. Your head was in the way anyway, and he might have easily shot him.

Leo takes aim, fires--]

[Dunno how much more comfortable that makes Atsuro feel...

But in any case! Leo shoots, and Atsuro comes falling to the ground! ..Aaand then he faceplants.]

...O-ow... [Just gonna slowly pull himself back up once he's sick of having such a touchy relationship with the ground. Or something. Damn that hurt.]

...ah.

[Blink. He reholsters his gun again and holds out a hand to help him stand. Look, no guns!]

Man, that hurt...

[Rubbing his head, he notices Leo's offered hand and takes it. Just gonna pull himself up now, yeaaah.]

Thanks. [A pause.] ...Uh, if you don't mind me asking, why do you have a gun?

[Hmm...]

Because it was given to me, I suppose. I didn't hit you by accident, did I?

Given to you...? [..why. ..Eeeh well he just won't press on about it. The guy did help him out after all, so it's probably not for a bad purpose or anything.]

But nope, not at all. [Pretty sure he'd be in more pain if that were the case!]

That's good to hear. I tried to aim for the branch, but I think I overshot a little.

[Just. Such an unsure look right now. Did... Atsuro just luck out in not getting hit by the bullet at all...? ...UM.]

...you weren't in any danger at all.

A-alright then...

[...sob. Owell, no use dwelling on it. He's down now and that's what matters. There is one thing that's starting to bug him though...]

So uh... Where are we, anyway? I just kinda woke up hanging from up there but I don't recognize this place at all. [Nor does he recall ever being in a tree. ...And without a shirt, apparently? Um.]

"Welcome to Luceti, you've been kidnapped."

...is what they've been telling everyone all over lately. [He stoops to pick up his books.] You're in a strange place and the owners of this village won't let you run away.

Wait, seriously?! Kidnapped? And we're basically trapped here?

[Dammit, this isn't another Lockdown, is it? Atsuro's just about ready to see a demon popping up or something any time now.]

But... why?!

Yes, yes, and— [He pauses to dust off the top of his journal and looks up.] —would you prefer the version that requires you to read or the condensed version?

Whichever is fine. I could always just read up on the details later, right?

[Once the idea of being kidnapped and stuck inside of this place settles in his mind, at least.]

More or less. [He looks around for Atsuro's journal now— is it on him? Or is it still dangling from the top of the tree?] We're being studied by scientists.

[It's not on him at all, but it isn't necessarily on top of the tree, either! Thank goodness. It's just sitting right beside the tree. Yep.]

Studied by scientists? What for?

Curiosity? [He spots the journal at the base of the tree and bends down to pick it up. Flip flip flip.] I don't believe they ever explained it to us.

[Or rather they did but unfortunately, it isn't quite mentioned in the Guide and quite possibly, the mentions were made before Leo was here. He hands Atsuro the page with the Guide.]

I guess but... They have to have at least some kind of thing they're aiming for, right?

[He watches as Leo picks up the journal, wondering if that was supposed to be his or something. After all, it was just laying on the ground below where he was previously hanging from. When Leo hands him it, he starts reading the Guide.]

What's this? Some sort of guide...? [...Yep, looks that way. Just skimming through this a bit.]
