Hey, everyone! I'm out of the elevator now. How long was I in there? (Was it less than a month?)

Is everyone okay?

And what's going on now? It doesn't look like I got back in the middle of a monster invasion, at least. Just a colorful sheep invasion... Are the [twirly line] fake copies of people still around? I sure hope not. They were (or are) really creepy.

Oh, I found out my full name. It's Krile Maia Baldesion. Everything else in the books there was gibberish, though.

- Cara

S'good to know that old guy's name.

[Lix grins, hugging back, but just shrugs as the shirt-eating.]

Let 'em. I'm going to see if I can shear them for rainbow wool later anyway.

Oh, really? I guess they need all the nutrition they can get, then.

[She lets go, but leans against him for a moment longer.]

I'm glad you worked it out. Somehow I don't think Grandpa would want anyone to think his name was kupo.

[Another hair ruffle]

I'll figure out yours too, eventually. Promise.

I believe you. [There are worries lurking, wondering if he'll be around long enough to do so. But it's silly to think of those. It's just not possible to fret when he says it.] And maybe I'll be able to tell you yours sometime.

[She straightens up with a more serious look, though.] There are... some things you need to know. But if I tell you and you start to feel dizzy or achey--anything like that at all--tell me right away. Okay?

[teamwark.livejournal.com]

That'd be nice.

[He seems a little confused by that.] Sure. But- dizzy?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Yeah. Sometimes... [She glances up at the Tree warily. This may not be the best place for such a discussion, but--] if you learn too much about your past, too quickly, it can make you feel sick. Maybe even kill you.

So we need to be careful. Really careful.
