[Where there once was a blue disc that stood as the "Gate" through which Lucetians could pass through, there is now a blue figure that has the appearance of a poor-quality hologram or a ghost. It's a little old man, and he's very eager to talk to anyone that passes by.]

Hello? Hello! Excuse me, could I ask you some questions?

Wh-what?

[... Whoa. What the heck? Noel went to go check on the portal after her voice returned, but... instead, there's this person. If it's even a person. And he's... asking for questions? Okay, let's approach and see what's going on.]

Um... sure. Wh-what do you need to know?

[malnosso]

You, you you miss! My your hair is lovely. Do you have a stylist?

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[... What.]

M-my... hair? [There is a blue hologram of an elderly man... asking if she has a stylist. WHAT.

... She'll just shake her head, a little dumbfounded.]

[malnosso]

Yes dear!

...oh what am I thinking. That wasn't what I wanted to ask. I was distracted! I do love blondes.

Aside from this, please don't derail me. I'm a bit forgetful, you see. [He lifts the cane to tap his chin with the handle.] Do you know anyone that passed through this gate?

[--Oh.]

Eh? Um, well, y-yes. I know one... and myself.

[malnosso]

Young lady, that can't be so. You're standing here talking to me.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Huh? N-no, it's true! I went through it a few days ago, and... ended up back in the forest.

... O-other weird things occurred, too.

[malnosso]

No no no! Why didn't you go home?!

Hmm, did you perhaps change your mind halfway through? I suppose that could have been a factor...

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Well... I changed my mind, b-but... I ended up tripping into it.

... Wait. Why are you asking these questions?

[malnosso]

Well, because I would like to know! I can't very well perfect my work without the proper feedback! Though this isn't the feedback I had been hoping for. Ohhh, ohhh...

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Y-your work? What were you working on?

[malnosso]

This gate, my dear, my gate!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Y-you--you worked on the gate!?

[malnosso]

I did! Though I must admit it's quite a shock to hear it didn't work correctly...

Did you know I carried the four? That was always my mistake, but I made sure to do it this time.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

... So you mean that it really was supposed to bring people back home?

[malnosso]

Well of course it was! I don't understand why it didn't do just that...and what curious side effects! I suppose there could have been a conflict of interests, perhaps the world wasn't willing to let you go.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[... Well, this is shocking.]

... M-maybe. I'm not really why it happened, but... you might be right. [It sounds plausible, right? Right?]

[malnosso]

Hmm, I'll have to start all over again. What wretched luck!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Eh?

...

U-um... if it's all right to ask, why did you build it in the first place?

[malnosso]

Why? Because I like you all, of course! I would like to see you return to your homes before something terrible happens!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

That's...

Is something bad going to happen here?

[malnosso]

Oh no no, don't cry! I know I have a tissue...hmm... [The hologram pats down his pockets before throwing up his hands.] Why would I have one? I'm not really here!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

You're... not really here? Then where are you?

A-and I'm not going to cry...

[malnosso]

Well, my body isn't here. I'm here, of course, look at me! [He laughs.]
