[Action]

[Here Luceti, have another New Feather. A young man with silver wings, wearing a strange mask and with only the thin pants of the newcomers to protect him from the world is currently just waking up in the forest not too far from the village. If you could see his face you'd see just how groggy and confused he is right now. He flinches a little as he realises there's a couple of new additions to his body upon coming to... wherever he is right now, and he reaches behind him to feel... feathers? Wings?

Thankfully it isn't long before he realises his clothes are piled up beside him, along with a book. Gin knows it's dangerous to be so exposed and doesn't hesitate to put on those clothes, strangely altered to accommodate those small wings on his back. Who did this to him? Where was he? He was certain by now this wasn't the forest of the Mountain God, unless he was trying to play some kind of trick on him.

Now for that book... Gin picks it up, taking a seat on the forest floor where he appeared and taking a moment to flick through the pages. The book was full of messages and pictures, presumably the ones who were trying to communicate. Some of the images moved as well and there were voices... the book was speaking to him.]

[Voice]

[After taking some time to try to get to know this odd journal and how it might work, Gin ends up trying to speak to the book himself.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

(OOC: Just a reminder and for those who might have missed it - if your character intends to touch Gin at all like taking his hand or something, please give me a chance to react before they make contact! Thanks~)

[Wait, this thing really did work? In a way he's glad he's not alone in this new environment, but he has to wonder exactly who he's talking to.]

Then this book really does record messages... Where exactly am I? And who am I speaking to?

You're right, it does! This place is called Luceti. It's a place that takes in people from other worlds. And my name's Aang! I'm stuck here, too, but I like to try to help new people around here.

Other worlds?

[What did he mean by that? He knew the spirit and human worlds could be set apart, but somehow he didn't think that was what he was implying.]

So we're stuck here... [A pause to let that sink in.] How many are there trapped in this place?

Yeah... It can be kind of hard to get used to. I only knew of two worlds back home, but it turns out there's more and more and more all across existence. There are people here unlike any you'd ever meet back home.

There's a lot of people... maybe around three hundred?

The only 'worlds' I know of are those of humans and spirits. If there are more than that...

[Perhaps he wouldn't have to live so much in fear in Luceti. Perhaps. He had no idea how the spell he was under would react to beings from other worlds entirely.]

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind. Where do they live? Is there a city?

There are. But - there's only a world of human and spirits where I'm from too. Maybe we're from the same place?

[He doesn't seem familiar, but Aang doesn't know everyone in the world. He figures people he doesn't know from his world aside from the future people have to slip in sooner or later.]

And there's a village, actually. It's full of different houses and apartments that have lots of empty space. You can just pick a place and live there to free, or maybe find someone you'll want to live with.

I'm from Japan on... Earth. [It seemed odd stating that as if it was an alien concept.] I guess it could happen. Can you tell me more about the spirits you know?

[There's a pause as he considers that information.]

Thanks... I think I'll stay out here for now though.

Oh, I see. I know that's a different planet. I just didn't know it had a Spirit World. Does that mean you know Masaomi?

And... huh. I know lots of spirits. I met Tui and La, who're the ocean and moon spirits... Hei Bai, who protected the forest. There was Wan Shi Ton, who looked like an owl and had foxes working for him 'cuz he ran a library that was buried in the desert. There was the Painted Lady but that was my friend. And also there's Koh the Face Stealer. He's... he's just scary.

You will? Aren't you cold?

It's not really a world of its own... well not that we can see at least. Sometimes they walk with humans or appear before them. Those that see them either feel lucky or afraid. I can't say I've ever met anyone called Masaomi though. Then again, I haven't met all that many people...

[Gin listens as Aang talks about these spirits of his. He can't say he's heard of any of them though there are obvious parallels... he knew foxes for one thing.]

I wonder just how many spirits are out there across different worlds. I know foxes, but I haven't heard of the rest.

I'll be okay. I'll find warm clothes.
