[Anyone at the edge of the city might see a young man walking in, visibly upset. Then again, by his state of dress, it's obvious he's a new arrival. Anyone would be upset if they had been stripped of their clothing and have what feels like wings surgically added to their body! More importantly, he wants his weapons back. Not that he doesn't think it could prevail in hand to hand combat, but if he were to be attacked... he doesn't quite want to think about that right now. Though he could pick up some sticks and use them as makeshift weapons. Agh, he's not 10 years old! He can only hope that with his weapons gone, this is a peaceful city, but he's also not that naive! In fact, with is current situation, he believes quite the opposite. His fingers push against the bridge of his glasses as he makes his way to find some answers. And some clothing.]

[Voice]

[Now have a voice filled with tsun and anger at his situation. At least he seems he figured out how to use this... thing.]

Good day, to whomever receives this message. My name is Lieutenant Hubert Oswell from the Strahtan military. At your convenience, I would like for you to introduce yourself and answer a few of my questions.

[He's not sure if this goes out en masse or to the person who is perhaps behind all of this, so he figures it best to find out rather than aimlessly ask questions to someone who could be a potential enemy.]

[Being stuck in new feather garbs is just asking for someone to help you. Alexei was leaving CB1 when Hubert happens pass him....going not the right way to the plaza]

If you're looking for your things, the plaza is in the other direction, across that bridge.

[Action]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[Well, at least this man is kind enough to help him, but he does have to do a double take at him. Is it really he president? Perhaps a relation... Hmm... He can't say he resembles him terribly, but they could pass as siblings. Standing so his legs were shoulders width apart, his arms rest across his lower back as he bows politely. No need to disrespect someone who could potentially be an ally. Still, it's strange to be bowing in this get up. Perhaps his garb is a giveaway that he is new here.]

I appreciate your directions.

[ voice ]

[allseeingdeath]

[ Well. that was a strange request. A bored, female voice replied to his own. ]

Uh, I'm Shiki.

I guess.

[ voice ]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[She 'guesses'? You would think someone would know their own name, but alas, it's likely just a part of their personality.]

Miss Shiki, may I ask where you are from and if you arrived here with your clothing and weapons stripped of you and wings surgically attached to your body?

[Given that he's still new, he hasn't quite seen that, yes, everyone has wings.]

[Cheria had held a shimmer of hope, despite her best judgment, that some more of her friends would appear in Luceti. Still, when she opened her journal today, she didn't actually expect to hear from one of them.]

H-Hubert? ...It's really you!

[Voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[Wait, he recognizes that voice! With that, he knows he found someone who can give him the information he needs without wondering if he's been fed false information.]

Yes, Cheria, it is me. May I ask where we are? You seem surprised with my arrival here.

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Lieutenant, huh? Cool.]

Nice to meet you, Hubert! I'm Atsuro Kihara. What questions do you have?

[raisedbythemilitary]

Yes, likewise Atsuro. As for my questions, is it normal to arrive here in white garb and have feathers attached to ones back?

[voice]

[emp3thy]

Welcome to Luceti, Hubert-san. [He honestly looks a lot younger than Minato himself, but considering the title 'Lieutenant' he decides to go with more formality.] I'm Minato Arisato.

[voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

Yes, thank you, Minato. ['-san'? What kind of term is that? Though he doesn't sound mocking in the way he says it so he'll dismiss it for now.] May I ask what this 'Luceti' is like? Is this how everyone is greeted, by being given wings and then stripped of everything? [Doesn't hurt to ask everyone.]

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

[Pao-Lin's eyes widen slightly when she hears a very familiar voice over the journals today. Yet judging from the tone of his questions...]

Hubert? It's me, Pao-Lin. [...] Do you remember me?

[voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

Pao-Lin? I'm afraid I do not recall anyone by that name.

[It's a bit cold in the way he says it and maybe a little too blunt, but he meant no harm.]

[voice]

[chibifalenas]

[A small girl replies]

Um, I'm Lymsleia Falenas. Um there are a lot of people here, I don't think everyone will respond.

[voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[He's getting a lot of responses from a variety of people. It's at least helping his assess the situation a little more.]

I do not require everyone to respond, Miss Lymsleia. I just did not know if this device sent my message out to everyone or to one person in particular.

[ voice ]

[breezing]

I'm Ikki! What d'you need, Hubert?

[ voice ]

[raisedbythemilitary]

Hello, Ikki. I simply need to know if arriving in white trousers and wings attached to me is a normal way for this 'Luceti' to greet its 'New Feathers'.

[It might take Hubert a moment to recognize Richard, dressed the way he is for work at Seventh Heaven: a button-down shirt and vest, slacks, and his hair pulled back into a neat ponytail.

Fortunately Richard will save Hubert the trouble of recognizing him when his eyes fall upon the other young man as he glances around; he blinks a moment, disbelieving, but is quick to smile.]

Well, I certainly didn't expect to see you here again.

[Action]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[Hearing that voice, he can't say he's really surprised, given that he's been told of Richard being here. Pushing the bridge of his glasses against his nose, he gives a nod to him.]

I had heard you were here.

[Blunt as always, but there's a vague hint of kindness in his voice.]

Before you ask, I'm afraid that I have no recollection of my past here.

[voice]

[musubi]

...Oh hey, it's you.

[voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[How on earth does he respond to this? More people that know him, apparently...]

I presume you know me from my prior stay here.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

[Asbel was surprised to hear Hubert's voice over the journal, for sure. It's been quite a while since any of his friends had been sent to Luceti.]

Hubert! It's really you?

[Voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

[He had been waiting to hear from Asbel eventually, especially since he had heard he was here. He lets out an unrecorded sigh before responding.]

I was wondering when I would hear from you, Brother.

[It's his loving way of saying 'hello', okay?]

[Voice]

[starfishlovesyou]

Hubert? ... Are you the same Hubert that saved Fuuko last Halloween or are you a different Hubert to the one Fuuko remembers?!

[...]

Oh and Fuuko will answer any questions you have Hubert-san!

[Since she might as well at least offer to be helpful even if this is a different Hubert.]

[Voice]

[raisedbythemilitary]

There is a chance that may be, however I have no recollection of my previous stay. For now, assume I am not the same one.

[He pauses, thinking over any questions he may have, but he really doesn't have any.]

I believe everyone else has answered the basic questions. Though I suppose it was kind of you to offer.

[The way he says it is blunt, trying to show appreciation, but falling short. Though he is grateful to how helpful everyone is.]

[voice]

[grapecape]

[...bizarre.]

Your message has probably gone out to the entire village, unless you instructed the journal otherwise.

Whatever your intention - my name is Ondorus, and I arrived here two months ago, likely in about the same manner you did. Welcome to Luceti, and I apologize for whatever predicaments you may find yourself in as a result of being here.
