[ he gestures a little and starts to move along the weird barrier. it's hard to tell because like, you have to really look to see where... you can't really see any further? ]
Come on, let's see what's around... what's your name?
I've been thinking it's probably some kind of illusion, since we can't touch them, but something that widespread... It would take a lot of people to pull it off.
Well! Some rich dude sent our company this really expensive gemstone that he wanted us to design a whole specialty toy around [ i ] and like... I was handling the thing because I'm the designer and poof. I ended up on the Klein Continent.
I have no idea how I ended up here though. I'm about as lost as everyone else in that regard.

Yeah, it was super weird. Came in the mail and I was trying to examine it... ended up responding to some spell that Aster and Morvay were casting and I just. You know. Wrong place, wrong time. But it's... not with me anymore. [ he tugs at the leather string looped twice around his neck, where the bottom is empty now. ] I think Topper's a real gem though, so. Maybe I lucked out.
Don't really have one. Raised in an orphanage 'til I was old enough to head out on my own. So there's no family waiting for me back on Earth. Just like... some coworkers and a crazy job with no benefits and shit pay...
You never know who you're gonna run into. I'm cool with it. Promise. Besides, like... the people I've met on the Klein Continent really make up for it.

Oh - I'm Libby. Um, Libby Rhodes. I'd say it's nice to meet you, but... Well, either way, what's yours?
no subject
[ he looks over his shoulder. ] Eiden. Nice to meet you.
[ the white stoat crawls up on his shoulder and chirps ] And he's Topper.
no subject
[said with some trepidation, but it fades when she looks to the stoat.]
Your pet?
no subject
[ he makes a face like "sorry" because damn if his voice doesn't go a little uncertain and nervous at that too. ]
He's a friend's pet, but we spend a lot of time together in the woods.
no subject
[according to the queen of overthinking. anyways.]
Are you pretty into hiking?
no subject
[ he hums... ] ...And as far as hiking goes... I sort of had to get used to it. I've got a lot of friends who live in the Wood Territory.

[tilting her head]
Where is that? I don't think I've heard of it.
no subject
There's magic where you're from?
no subject
[she nods]
Yeah. All different kinds. You aren't the first person I've talked to where that's not the case, though.
no subject
[ gestures a little tiredly ]
Now I'm here and it's... even more confusing?
no subject
By accident? How? I wonder if it could give us an idea of how we got here.
no subject
I have no idea how I ended up here though. I'm about as lost as everyone else in that regard.
no subject
[absolutely thinking of the wrong kind of toy]
I've never heard of something so powerful. That's fascinating.

[giving a smile to topper, though.]
He's pretty cute, yeah.
no subject
Sometimes I don't think I wanna go back home from the Klein Continent... kind of like my new life there.

I'm so sorry, um... I should have thought before I asked.
