[Natalia is looking quite eager as she walks out into the center of the village, set on helping New Feather's of course]

Oh My! So many of you...I need to get to work immediately.

[and Natalia will be starting to direct some people or checking her device so..feel free to troll a highly trollable princess whether actionwise or otherwise. h e h .]

[One minute on the Astral Plane, next minute--not back in Auldrant? Huh. Well he's heard of world hopping. And he's inclined to think he must have accidentally except...]

Princess Natalia?

[meritocracy]

[Natalia stops what she's doing, which was speaking to a few locals before looking up, eyes wide with surprise ]

Guy? Guy is that you?

[explains]

[He smiles, suddenly, a wide, happy grin. He hasn't seen her in months. Everything's been so busy. Between rebuilding Auldrant and all the... Strangeness that comes from having access to the Astral Plane, he and Jade have stuck close to Peony lately.]

[So for a second he almost forgets this isn't Auldrant, and that this is probably another Experiment of the Machine's... Maybe like Anise and Yuri mentioned, that nameless City they were from?]

Natalia! Of course it's me. It's good to see you. [And he strides towards her, happy for a friendly face (and one he doesn't regularly want to punch, because as dearly as he regards Jade, the man is routinely infuriating).]

[meritocracy]

[she walks towards him, her own face splitting into a warm, happy smile. for am moment she almost wants to embrace him as she did Luke when she arrived, but luckily remembers how he was still recovering--last she checked anyway. so instead she simply smiles as warmly as she would anyone particularly dear, laughing ]

Yes, it's been some time since I've seen you. Circumstances aside, I'm glad for it. Did you just get here?

[explains]

[It's a shame he can't hug her, but he settles for smiling back, just as happily. But he's noting things... Like wings. And that's right. Not on Auldrant, or the Astral Plane. So while he's definitely happy, he is curious.]

I did. Mind if I ask exactly what the circumstances are?

[He has a bit of an educated guess.]

[meritocracy]

[yes her bright white wings flap with her mood apparently. so instead she'll tilt her head ]

You're in a place called Luceti. It's a completely different world, Guy! And all sorts of people from different worlds and countries claim to have been taken here much the way we both were. You..do recall arriving here, don't you?

[explains]

Luceti.

[So it has a name. He tilts his head back, letting his fingers stroke his chin in thought.]

I don't remember arriving. I was just on the Astral Plane--Indulge me a moment, but is there no way to get home from this place? [If it's like the nameless City Anise and Yuri mentioned. That could... He's not sure what. But it's more data to add to speculations about the nature of the Machine.]

Ah, your wings-- [Everyone here seems to have them.] Are they part of this place too?

[And if Guy doesn't have them, does that mean he's considered a separate experiment still? Ahh not enough information.] Sorry Natalia. Haha. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. Do you need help?

[Because he may be new, but she's out here helping people, he should assist, right? If nothing else he can just listen to what she needs from him and do it.]

[meritocracy]

Come to think of it you don't have any wings..[she peers behind his back before quickly detracting herself lest she give him a heart attack. she blinks at his words]

Astral Plane? [she wrinkles her brows]
Guy--what do you last remember doing? Help me by telling me what you remember.
