[ The feed turns on, revealing one tired looking Claude with a coffee cup in hand. Judging by the expression he wears, it's clear he's having just a little bit of trouble staying up. His attire is also a little more heavy - clearly wanting to hide the wounds and bruises he had received from his first nightmare-induced deep sleep. ]

What a pain, huh? And here I thought I'd be safe in my dreams. Guess this is more wacky world stuff going on.

[ Sighing as he rubs the back of his neck, he finally opens his eyes and addresses the camera. ]

So, I'm here for a few reasons. Outside of needing some company to keep me awake, I'm also looking for some partners. My usual hand holding partners went back home and I'm not too keen on finding myself in battle without a way to get chroma back should I use most of it up. Normally I wouldn't resort to asking on the network, but... [ handwave. ] My options are kind of limited and hey, I could use some company right now, so I'll kill two birds with one stone.

[ A beat. ]

Before I go... We're sure that people go home when they disappear, right? It's been weighing on my mind for a while, now.

Yes, that's right... It's hard to describe it, but. That place, there was a woman who called herself a witch, and she called the people she'd gathered the Circle... and she made us go to all sorts of different worlds trying to "fix" them.

But when I left there, I came here. Not home, like everyone said people went when they vanished from there.

[Which... Makes it difficult to trust that leaving Lunatia meant going home, as much she wishes she could.]

I've heard about people like that. I mean- Like you. I've even met people here that I knew well... but who didn't know me when I saw them again.

[deerhearted]

Fixing different worlds... That's an interesting concept. [ But also kind of... eerie, in a sense? Maybe he's thinking too much about it. ] So, it seems like there's other places like this one - where people are pulled from their worlds and dropped into an entirely new one.

[ Mildly concerning. He's definitely heard of people going home, but... this adds something new to the mystery pile. ]

Two of my friends that were previously here had told me I was here before. I felt bad that I didn't remember the memories I made here.

I say "fixing"... But sometimes, I don't think we really "fixed" much. Sometimes... it didn't end well.

[And if she sounds depressed about it...]

I don't know how that works. Someone tried to tell me it was "parallel worlds", but I couldn't really wrap my head around it.
