[nonightdriving]

Who: Ignis Scientia
Broadcast: Network Communication
Action: Aboard the Marvisa
When: On the evening of the 28th

[When he'd stepped aboard the ship in Caem, he'd known that he'd be leaving behind everything he'd ever known for the unknown, but this? Not what he had in mind. The others are nowhere around—something that set off all of the panic buttons in his brain—and he is mostly definitely not in a water craft.

The air is chilled, but there's no salty tang. He's warm and feels as if he's enveloped in a blanket. After a few moments of trying to get his bearings, he leaves what appears to be a bed in a...medical type room. A search of his person turns up his cellphone, his notebook, pen and... another communications device. He takes a few seconds to appraise it before opening to use the item.]

Hello. I'm not sure whom I'm addressing, but my name is Ignis Scientia. As I appear to be new to this place and there are others here as well, I would like to know where I am and what is going on.

[The look on his face says that if you waste his time, he will hang up on you.]

Also, if anyone knows the whereabouts of Prompto Argentum, Gladiolus Amicitia or Noctis Caelum, I would appreciate being told.

[He would absolutely understand. You devote your life to your art, if you're a great servant. The idea of suddenly not doing that has never sat well with him, even after a decade of only having Beast to serve. ]

True. We just need to get along with it until we get back to where we need to be.

[What's it like being able to keep your castle after tragedy falls? That's something Ignis would like to know very much. As well as what does one do when the daemons running around outside are getting stronger.

Perhaps he could shed some light on those problems later.]

I am curious as to how long we might be here before that time comes. They haven't exactly been very forthcoming thus far.

[servantnotserving]

[Pretty sweet, even if the decor is much more Gothic than it ever really should have been. ]

I was told the longest people have been trapped here is over two years. The average is less, but it is still not very encouraging.

[nonightdriving]

[They would've taken it. There's only so much "roadtripping" one can stand before the sight of an open road makes one a little loopy.]

Two years or less. These Atroma must be aware of the damage that taking us from our world for more than a day in some cases would be. This doesn't bode well for anyone involved here.

[servantnotserving]

[Lumiére is honestly a little glad to be out of the castle for a while. The cabin fever was getting pretty darn strong. ]

It does not. But hopefully the rumours are true, and we are returned to the very moment we were taken from.

[They BETTER be. If he misses out on the curse breaking, he's gonna be mad. ]

[nonightdriving]

[Being on a space ship is decidedly better than being in a cramped car, no matter how nice, with three other men for days on end. At least now he can stretch his legs and he doesn't have to have Prompto's damn camera in his face all the time.]

I hadn't heard that information yet. I wonder what sort of technology is involved in an undertaking like this.

[It's okay, Lumiére. You'll be a real boy again. With hands and no fire.]

[servantnotserving]

[REAL hands and everything,it'll be the best. ]

I could not even begin to guess the answer to that question. It is nowhere near my forte, I'm afraid.

[He needs to figure out stuff like LIGHTBULBS before moving onto the bigger stuff. ]

[nonightdriving]

[Having full use of all of your faculties is the best. Something that Ignis might not want to take for granted, but that's for later.]

It isn't mine, either. My friend that is most interested in this sort of thing is...not here.

[Cindy would certainly love it, as would Prompto. And even Cid would find it amazing.]

However, that doesn't mean I plan to slack off while here.

Well, Lumiére, I appreciate your taking the time to talk to me and I hope that we have the chance to speak face-to-face once I'm released from this...strange place.

[servantnotserving]

Likewise! I am sure we will have a fascinating meeting.

[For more reasons than poor Ignis is aware of, oh well. ]
