[May had crashed down from the ceiling after being chased by Envy, so she really didn't expect to end up within the leaves of a forest. Her first thought intentionally being 'I'm safe' with the second coming to a realization that this was.. not where she should be.

Cue the loud 'wah' of confusion. Getting up, she grasps the journal tossing it aside turning on the video function for anyone to see her flailing about.]

W-where am I? I.. This.. can't be Central! [Did she get knocked out and transported somewhere. Something bright behind her catches her eye causing her to turn around and see the wings.]

WINGS? I have wings...? [A beat pauses as she stares at them until a spot beside her moves catching her attention.]

Xiao-Mei! I'm glad I found you! [Cue snuggling with the small panda.] Did we die? If we were dead, you'd have wings too.. right?

[With May seeing the journal and picking it up, the feed clicks off.]

[That's... a long time.]

You haven't returned home at all..?

[video]

[godbent]

No, once. Mid-way through I was back for a while. [Biting her lip. Ugh]

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

Oh, did you enjoy your time back..?

[video]

[godbent]

I didn't remember here when I got back, so it's hard to qualify that.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

I see, that's all rather odd, right?

[video]

[godbent]

Yeah, most things here have an odd component to them until you get used to it. Then there's a surprising amount of blistering normalcy in this world.

[Huff]

But either way you're not dead.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

At least knowing that I'm not dead is relieving. Everything else here is a bit interesting to say the least. This place doesn't seem like it's all too bad though.

[video]

[godbent]

Day to day? It can seem pretty okay, yeah. It gets worse though, here and there.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

I guess that's the way it is for most situations.

[video]

[godbent]

Most situations don't have how bad it can get here, but you're right.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

How bad can it get here?

[video]

[godbent]

Realistically, it's possible for the inside of this barrier to end upa warzone. But there's also the Shifts and sometimes there's villainous sorts in the population. For the most part, it's simple day to day life, and sometimes it's even exciting and interesting, but you can't just ignore things like that.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[That made sense, not everyone that was brought here could be innocent that just wasn't how it worked. One thing caught May's attention the most though.]

Shifts?

[video]

[godbent]

Oh... kay did you or did you not get the guide from someone else yet? I need to know how basic I have to go.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[...... ...... Guide? Are all the people she knows so rude that they don't mention something like that.]

No one gave me any guide...

[video]

[godbent]

... Look at this thing on your journal. There should be a button or something now I linked it.

[here]

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May clicks it, skimming through the the guide slightly.]

They watch the effects of the shifts?

[video]

[godbent]

Yeah, that they do. I mean, some people call them "experiments" for a reason.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[E-eeh, she doesn't like the thought of that.]

That doesn't sound good at all.

[video]

[godbent]

Of course it doesn't. Naturally, it's not going to get better sounding - but some of them are less what you'd expect for "experiment" than others.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

Less than what you'd expect, as long as most 'experiments' aren't health-risking, right?

[video]

[godbent]

Not directly, anyway. Most of them.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

Either way, it doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

[video]

[godbent]

[A pause. She nods, but then she coughs and-] ...Some of them are. A little. [a beat] But mostly, no.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

I assume it would depend on how you looked at it.
