001st Forged Devil: Like a Fallen Angel [Action, Voice]

[curseresistant]

[The journal picks up a glimpse of the sky as it falls to the cold dirt, followed by a skewed view of the forest. Things are quiet -- almost eerily so.]

[That's when, with a horribly heavy-sounding thud, a pale-skinned, white-winged, and white-haired man unceremoniously drops into view, faint wisps of breath barely visible from his mouth. Were it not for that, he would certainly appear to be dead.]

[The feed cuts off not too long after that, the journal closed by a strong gust of wind.]

[Much later in the afternoon, before the shops close for the evening, Hector busies himself with finding his belongings. He lingers in the smithy for a while, browsing armor and weaponry before moving along to the plaza.]

I am told that these 'journals' can send my voice to others. If there are others listening, I am Hector. I have only recently arrived here in... Luceti.

Would any of you know where I could acquire [...] raw materials? I would like to... work on something.

I know that feelin'. Just got here myself, so I'm in th' same boat, but I got a room! There's a buncha apartments in the village that you can move into, an' I could give you a map or escort you there.

[voice]

[curseresistant]

...Apartments? [Pardon him while he sounds... mildly confused.] What are those?

[voice]

[savarin]

[Well, that's new. Red's quiet for a bit; he's never had to explain apartments before.]

Uh... an apartment's a buncha rooms that you can rent, usually in a bigger building. Usually you hafta pay for them, but here I guess there's no money. Everything's free.

[voice]

[curseresistant]

So... houses within houses?

[Houseception? This is certainly new to him.]

Yes, I've already gathered that there is no currency in this realm to speak of. It is most odd.

[voice]

[savarin]

Yeah, that's a good way t' think of it! Anyway, I guess since we're bein' held here against our will and occasionally experimented on, the least they could do is give us free stuff. That's how I look at it, anyway.

[voice]

[curseresistant]

It certainly makes a lot of sense.
