[It's a beautiful, sunny day. The temperature is apparently between "boiling point" and "molten lava", and every sane person is inside, hugging their air conditioner.]

[Except for this guy. Tsuzuki is searching the grass outside House 49. He looks downright distressed, sitting on his knees and brushing his fingers through the lawn and dirt. When he's down with one patch, he hurries to the next one, not caring much about the heat even though his body does.]

It has to be around here somewhere...

How did you get away?

I used the chaos as an opportunity to escape into the tunnels beneath the castle. Asbel found me there, and together the two of us fled to a nearby town where I was able to ask for aid from another friend.

Did you end up here right after that?

[ledbythewind]

Not immediately after-- it was the next day when I was brought here, but I suppose that's close enough.

That counts as 'right after', in my opinion. You didn't get a chance to do much after it happened, and then you ended up here.

It's creepy, though. It's like these kidnappings occur right after catastrophes.

You'd almost think they do it on purpose... or perhaps they do. Perhaps that state of jumbled emotions makes it easier for them to transport us here somehow, and that's why they choose those times to kidnap us.

It could be. I want to ask more people about their experiences first, but it's a good theory.

It's certainly a better one than anything else I've heard yet.

What's strange is that there's kids born here. If they could simply breed us, why do they kidnap new ones?

[ledbythewind]

People have had children here?

[That's... a somewhat distressing revelation.]

There must not be enough of them born to satisfy the Malnosso, or they can't use young children in their experiments.

I've seen a couple of children run around, yes. Haven't you?

Oh. I didn't know there was an age limit.

I've seen children, but I'd always assumed they had been brought here from their worlds like everyone else. It never occurred to me that they might have been born here...
