[On the feed, you can see a pretty blonde girl staring at the screen. She's brushing her long hair with one hand, reaching to poke around on the screen with the other.

Finally, she lets out a little sigh, and mutters:]

Same shit, different day, I guess.

[She'll finally look directly into the camera, now, and put on a bit of a smile as she continues brushing her hair.]

So, it looks like I'm one of the few people whose age didn't get screwed around with. Anyone else out there?

[ A very puzzled Valkyrie squints at the video. ]

Ages...changed?

Are you saying that some form of curse is upon this place?

I guess it's kind of like a curse? I'm pretty sure it can be fixed, though.

Then.. All those children here.. They did not arrive here at such an age?

[ Well. Now she feels bad for having doubted her 'hosts'. A little. Her head then shakes slightly. ]

I was not aware this world had magics natively - the tablet certainly indicated otherwise. Such a powerful curse will likely have hard conditions to break it, assuming it can be lifted at all.

I don't know that it's magic, but -- the people who run this place can already bring a person here from any point in their life. It seems like they just pushed the wrong button or something.

[ Buttons in magic whut ]

So, someone changed the spell. That is.. concerning.

That would explain their silence, as well, I suppose.

Yeah, I guess it would.

Either way, little kids aren't exactly useful in a war. I can't imagine they'll let that go on for much longer.

No honourable use, at least.

[ A sigh. ] Thank you for this information, miss...?

[ino]

No problem. It's Ino. You are ... ?

[sleepingvalkyrie]

Gwendolyn. Of the kingdom of Ragnanival. [There's an odd smile.] Only recently arrived.

[ino]

Nice to meet you, Gwendolyn! I haven't heard of Ragnanival before ... what is it like?

[sleepingvalkyrie]

It's very beautiful, though I suppose anything would be, compared to here. It is situated in the northern mountains of Erion.

Where are you from?
