[The location is only too obvious when he awakens. How recently had he seen that bunk above him? And how often? Six months wasn't a long stretch of time comparatively, but when you've spent a good two years in complete darkness, waking up to such a sight definitely stands out. And even beyond that, there's something about the coloration here...

It doesn't take him long to notice a few key things. 1: that his body lacks any coloration, and 2: that the face peering out from inside the mirror - in full color no less - isn't his.

...So. It's his turn now. A sense of fear begins to constrict his heart, but he pushes aside the feeling as best as he can and makes for the door. The sooner it's over, the better...]

[A - the dormitory hallways]

[When he steps into the boy's dormitory hall to begin investigating, he freezes at the sight of the mirror down the hallway. Even though it's quite some distance away, he can see flesh tones in there, and somebody waving cheekily at the viewer.

His first instinct is to back into his room and try to see if he can't get past the mirror and out the window, but if someone spots him quickly enough, they may just be able to catch him instead.]

[B - the forest]

[Either way, he can later be found walking into the dense forests around the school, all the way to the barrier surrounding it. While he seems initially surprised upon hitting the barrier to the west of the classrooms, his expression quickly changes to one of contemplation. His hand curls up under his chin as he considers what all of this means.

It's definitely a smaller campus than he remembers. That, and... odd, too. Since it's his Heart, he would have thought it would be around... But if it cut off here, there's no way that could be in this World after all. How strange...]

What kind of mage things?

[soloactor]

Balance nature. Walk through dreams. Guide souls to the afterlife. That sort of thing.

...I tried to do it on that weird island, but those spirits were... weird. [He doesn't seem to care that he totally just used 'weird' twice in a row.] These ones too. They're not going anywhere.

[miseris_socios]

Oh. I... huh. Maybe it's because we're in someone's Heart, and it's not 'real' spirits? I don't know.

I can... cast things, sort of. It's like magic. But I can't do it without... something that the cat stole.

[soloactor]

...he didn't take your luonto, did he?

[He's kind of assuming Ken even knows what a luonto is, of course. Everybody has one. Obviously.]

[miseris_socios]

My Evoker. I don't know what a luonto is.

[soloactor]

It's a guardian spirit, that's also part of your spirit. When it leaves... [He sighs.] You can't do magic. Or anything else.

Is that what your 'Evoker' is?

[miseris_socios]

... That sounds like a Persona. Most people don't have one. I use my Evoker to call my Persona. It looks like a gun, but it's not one.

i am unsure if lalli's luonto can actually pop up here, but once the mods answer he will show Ken

[soloactor]

[Lalli blinks.]

You can't just-- do it?

[miseris_socios]

... No. Some other Persona-users could, but not the ones from my area in my time.

[soloactor]

[ ????? ]

[ ?????????????????? ]

[...OH!]

Yours is broken.

[miseris_socios]

... No. If anyone's is broken, it's a few of the people who are...

[Were? Does Minato count in past tense?]

- some of the members of my team had artificial Personas. Mine was a natural one. But that was normal for us. And like I said, not many people have them.

[soloactor]

[okay first of all TOO SOON]

...No, that's wrong, they have to have them.

Maybe they can't-- sense it, or something [after all, people in Sweden are all pretty sure that luontos don't even exist] but they have to be in there somewhere.

[miseris_socios]

... Different worlds have different rules, like different Hearts have different things going on. What's true in your world doesn't always hold true in another.

[soloactor]

...

[He considers this, and makes a little huffing sound.]

Whatever.

[miseris_socios]

[Fine. Lalli doesn't have to believe him. It's not his problem.]

I'm not even sure where to start looking in this place...

[soloactor]

Puzzley things.

[He looks to the school.]

More in there, probably. This forest is just... forest.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah, probably. And I bet the school has food, so it's not like we have to trap things from the forest to eat.

[soloactor]

[Time to go adventuring? ...Regardless of whether Ken wants to or not, Lalli trots back towards the school. Where you wanna go, tiny spear dog child?]

[miseris_socios]

[To the classrooms! Maybe there's food in some of them. Probably not, but he's hungry.]

[soloactor]

[If you want food, the home ec room is probably a better place to look.]

[miseris_socios]

[What's home ec can he eat it.]

Mm... I don't like this place. It looks too... normal.

[Aside from the students, but.]

[soloactor]

...It's not normal. It's weird and foreign and I don't like it.

[miseris_socios]

It looks like a pretty normal school to me. Which... might be the problem.

[soloactor]

[Lalli looks around at the scenery again, squints as if he's trying to see something that isn't there... and then makes a little noise of understanding.]

All the buildings like this, they're all ruined or infested. Or Swedish. [He says the last word like it's the worst of the lot.]

[miseris_socios]

[... He's not going to ask what's wrong with being Swedish. He has a feeling it's not going to end well.]

Why? What happened?
