[ she could have waited until el sorted out her id, but she does not. this seems important. ]

Hi, my name is Silena Beauregard and I arrived a couple days ago. I'm still a little new to everything, but when we were dropped off, myself and another girl, we were told something that I think we're supposed to pass on.

The woman in the van said she didn't know the lost ones weren't really lost. She made a mistake.

What did you come from before all of this?

[chocolateries]

Long Island

[impede]

You'll notice I didn't ask "where."

[chocolateries]

I'm dyslexic.

[ it isn't actually hindering her at the moment and she will ponder that later but it's a good enough excuse for now and it isn't technically a lie! ]

I came from a summer camp, it was a sanctuary.

[impede]

I wouldn't share that outside of our circle.

[Akechi has a hunch that dyslexia is less of a problem now than it was before.]

A sanctuary from monsters, then.

[chocolateries]

Yes, monsters liked us a little too much. Toddler squeezing a puppy to death too much but without actually liking us.

[ maybe for dinner, though? was silena a nice juicy steak to giants? ]

[impede]

[Ah, that kind.]

Well, it seems that these monsters were isolated away. You won't have to worry about them as much.

[chocolateries]

As much

[ go on ]

[impede]

Well, there were the monsters in the facility that was visited before!

And some turned up here once. I doubt they were seeking a juicy Displaced snack. After all, we've been here without much of a repeat.

As far as I know, anyway. I've the same resources available to me as you do. And I've only been here for a month.

[chocolateries]

[ a month isn't very long, all things considered, but he still knows a bit more than silena. ]

I read in the guide about monsters. Well, a monster attack. It didn't mention a facility though.

[impede]

I didn't attend because it seemed as if it would be foolish to do so, but there were monsters with the previous pickup. From my understanding of the situation, they were all lumped together with the new "arrivals," so to speak.

Of course, those arrivals were here for around six months.

[chocolateries]

[ DOES MATH ]

June, when the first people showed up?

I'm sorry if this has all been explained before, the network is huge and I don't know if I can read through six months worth of information.

[impede]

Don't worry! I'm rather fond of explaining things to people. I used to go on television and do it all the time before I arrived here.

[Read: he likes giving his version of events that he's shaping to see how the public (or the person he's speaking to) might respond.]

[chocolateries]

[ silena silently marks him off as a child of athena as is her nature to categorize people like that, whoops. ]

Great!

You were on TV?

[impede]

[Athena would hate this child and would regret him as a thought baby.]

I was. I was known as the Second Coming of the Detective Prince.

[chocolateries]

[ well that is athena's mistake, isn't it. ]

Was that the show name?

[impede]

No, I was a guest on a variety of news programs for my success in solving a large number of cases.

[chocolateries]

Oh, oh that's neat.

[ she's imagining unsolved mysteries, complete with fog machine and a trenchcoat. ur welcome. ]

[impede]

Considerably so. I was fortunate that so many people liked me for my accomplishments, though ... I wasn't seeking to become a celebrity.

[A lie.]

I merely wanted to help.

[chocolateries]

[ that sounds fake but she lets it slide. ]

So Mother Teresa and she's super famous.

[impede]

Oh, no, not quite on that level! I'm not a saint.

[chocolateries]

Well that's good, considering the main qualification is being dead.

[impede]

[Surprise. Mostly in that she caught the joke there.]

I hadn't thought anyone would be able to think that far ahead with my humor.

Though, unfortunately, it would seem that saintly behavior is unlikely to be celebrated here of all places even if I were going for such a goal.

[chocolateries]

I had a varied education.

I'm surprised catholicism doesn't last to the future.

[impede]

Some would say that religion as a whole thrives on division.
