You’ve got to be shitting me. Once wasn’t enough? I’ve got to be uprooted from my life and shoved into some place with people in charge who are claiming it’s for my own good but really they don’t give a fuck twice? Or is this actually the place people go when they’ve been ‘rehabilitated’? Because I’ve gotta say, I prefer the facility. At least there we had electricity.

And also? Why the hell are you picking on us? We’re not a major player. We’re not even a secondary player. Shit, go pick on the New Era or the Fists or the fucking Suits. And why me? I’m retired, damn it, it’s not gonna be making that big of an impact. Why not Pride? Everyone’d fall apart without Pride making decisions. ‘Ahh, Pride’s not here to tell us what to eat for breakfast today, we’re doomed!’ ‘Oh, let’s go ask Wrath, she’ll know what to do.’ The hell would I be knowing what to do?

[There’s a pause as she realizes she’s gone on a bit of a tirade.]

Look. If I break the law again, will you send me back?

[The tone of her voice says she doesn’t expect an answer, and she sighs.]

Tell me the rest of this place isn’t as medieval as the room I woke up in? Irritating as it’s going to be having to rebuild my shop, it’ll be even worse without one at all.

[She doesn’t sound very hopeful about that, either.]

I’m going to have to ride a horse to the village or whatever to buy my groceries and shit, aren’t I?

Hell.

Is there at least ocean access here?

[...that is a lot of ranting.

Asuka listens, growing more and more bewildered by the moment, until she finally comes to a stop.

His first, immediate response is, "No, there's not, and -thank the Maiden- for that." Luckily, it's said before he activates his own journal. So.]

So I'm guessing you're feeling some anger, now, is that right?

[Having time to think about what he's going to say doesn't make him any less of a derp, no.]

[She is dying of laughter by the end of Ryn rant. She's gotten more composed by then end but only just.]

What is it with people making a habit out of getting kidnapped?

Be ready for another rant, cause the rest of this place is just as old school. And there's no ocean, but there's a lake.

[This might be audio, but Ryn is still making a face at the journal.]

Really? How could you tell? I can't imagine why getting carted off to some mysterious ancient ass castle in the middle of the night would make anyone angry.

Two times doesn't make a habit. It makes for really shitty luck.

[The first time wasn't kidnapping, anyway. It was more of a prison sentence.]

God fucking damn it, that's exactly what people told me the last time. It's not the same.

And of course it is. Wouldn't be wanting to have my way of making a living available to me. That would be too easy.

Oh, you know. Intuition. It was pretty hard, let me tell you--I don't think you used enough sarcasm. Or curses! More curses might've helped get your point across, too.

[Nod, nod!]

You've really gotta work on broadcasting that more if you want to be sure people hear it!

Yeah yeah yeah, it has to happen three time to make a trend. Still twice is high. Was the last one a duke or whatever too?

[she shrugs]

It's wet, ruins electronics, and you can swim in it. What else do you need? We can trow some salt in.

At least everything we need is here. We don't have to plow fields or spin wool.

What kinda work did you do?

[Please say tech, please say tech!]

[...oh, awesome. This is exactly what she needs right now. Someone like Dean, who thinks he's funny.]

Yeah, you're right. Forgot I'd likely be broadcasting to a fair number of idiots. Here, let me fix that.

[And now she switches to Irish Gaelic, because cursing in that is more fun. Of course, she's not counting on her words being translated via text.]

To hell with you, and may the cat eat you, and the devil be eaten by the cat.

No. The last one was the Core.

[Of course, there's a good chance this one is, too. No one else would be powerful enough, not without the Core knowing about it.]

It's missing a little thing called the tide. Anyway, you try to put a boat in a lake, and where're you going to go? Just moving in circles, like a fucking goldfish.

[It's better than nothing, but still.]

We don't? So, what, it's just all free?

And I'm a mechanic.

[Oh, she'll be able to hear the -gigantic- grin on Asuka's face when he responds. Really, it's almost more of an obnoxiously cheerful -chirp- than anything else.]

I can read that~!

[...but he hates reading. OH WELL, NOT IMPORTANT HERE!]

And just because someone's not all anger-death-upon-your-town alongside you doesn't mean that they're an idiot, you know.

[Yeah he wasn't listening to most of that. One thing did catch his attention though.]

You've got a shop?

[Okay, she was wrong. He's worse than Dean. He's like. One of the baby Sins. One of Gluttony's baby Sins.]

So you can. So nice of this thing to provide a magical translation.

[Damn it journal. It's not as entertaining when people know what she's saying.]

Course not. I'm sure plenty of people would be perfectly happy to be in this situation, which definitely doesn't make them stupid as hell.

[Pause.]

You're one of those zen, anger doesn't help the situation at all types, aren't you?

This ones got a sea monster in it. You can dodge tentacles? At least you wouldn't be bored.

Yup, waist as much stuff as you want.

[Claud feels for her. She really does. Maybe she can join the support group too.]

Ouch. I haven't found a single engine in this place.

Yeah. Took me forever to actually be able afford the damn thing, and now it's probably going to get run into the ground because the Core decided I needed to be elsewhere.

[In a medieval castle. With no cars. Awesome. She worked hard for that shop, damn it.]

[...okay, that actually makes Ryn curious. Enough that she doesn't correct her about it being a lake monster, not a sea monster.]

Really? There's a monster in the lake?

[And then she grimaces.]

Hell. Of course not. It's like they're just trying to make me as miserable as possible.

[Fucking Core.]

[He's laughing.]

Looks like you'll have to find a different way to make that work.

And I never said I was happy about the situation. But it's not so bad, either. I've gotten to meet all sorts of people here!

[Mirrored pause! And another grin, for good measure.]

Naw, I get angry. It just takes a lot to get me there.

Apparently, it's the Krakon.

And yeah I'm pretty sure that's what he's up to. He's probably some wacked out researcher, and we're his lab rats.

[She can hear that laughter. And now she's frowning, because his second comment is reminding her of the facility. That's the attitude she'd eventually come to have there.]

Maybe. But I've already done that. Forgive me if I don't want to fucking do it again. Especially in a place where I can't even work.

[At least at the facility, even if she couldn't sail, she had cars to work on.]

Some people might consider that a challenge.

...the kraken lives in the lake. All right, this I have to see for myself.

[One trip to the lake, coming up.]

Shit, that wouldn't surprise me at all. Considering how bad the Core lied to everyone about the facilities, wouldn't put it past them to have some place like this where we're all lab rats.

[Oh-ho, a -challenge-, huh? Asuka grins and settles down with his journal, a bit more interested now.]

You're welcome to try.

[This oughta be fun!]

And who said you can't work here, anyways? Nobody's telling you what you can and can't do, aside from getting out of here--and even that's more because there's no way to leave the world than anything else.

[And she actually laughs at that.]

I said some people. Despite my namesake, I don't actually go around intentionally trying to get people extremely pissed off. Usually.

[Though now she's a bit tempted to try and make him angry.]

My line of work isn't exactly all that useful here. I'm a mechanic. So unless there's a lot of cars or boats hidden somewhere in this castle, I'm pretty much shit out of luck.

[The rest of that - yeah, that's pretty much what she'd expect from the Core. Do whatever the fuck you want, you just can't leave.]

Go ahead, say hello to it for me.

[Say hello, and get back to work]

Yeah! Wait, the core?

Might be easier to tell it hi for you if I knew your name.

[...because she will. If she actually does see it, she'll shout at it that so and so said hi.

She frowns slightly at the question.]

Yeah. The Core. The Core Republic, leaders of the world, reason I was in the facility, most likely reason we're here?

As to the last, if you find it, please by all means, let me know.

You have arrived at the Keep of one Lord Deior and while he has supplied us with a lake as to which to swim in, I would not suggest it.

[There, he was nice. Helpful even.]

Now to other matters! This has happened to you once before?

I kinda know how you feel. Ran a workshop back home. Everyone must be going nuts without me there.

[That last bit she said was kind of interesting.]

The Core?

If I do find one, you'll probably hear me shouting from where ever you are. It'd be a damn miracle at this point.

[Because obviously, the karma gods hate her enough to have her get carted off against her will twice, and neither time to a place on the coast.]

There was a lake at the facility, too. It's still not the same. But why not?

[Just her luck the damn thing would be polluted, or something.]

Yeah. Wait, it hasn't to you? Are they screwing with people outside of the facilities now?
