[ Yugi has spend a few days trying to figure this whole scenario out. While he's used to random acts of magical abduction (or body-snatching, if you will), this was something entirely different. He decided to make some outreach to those who have been here longer, or maybe someone who could better answer this questions: ]

i realize this may be slightly familiar. new people always have the most questions, right? i am a little concerned about the..magical part of this? that may be a little too broad...

[ Yugi didn't post anything after that for a bit, before finally editing what he had originally put.. ]

i'm sorry. i wanted to ask how do we understand these...powers? but also, what is the point of bringing us here. i would like to see if anyone is...well, if they are have spoken to astoria?

[ Yugi has some concerns as he just had to deal with a magical group of kids who could mess with time and space...]

Interesting is a better reaction than frightened, so I'll certainly take it.

Exactly. No need to add new complications.

But here we are, nevertheless. What do you plan to do? Play along with this Astoria?

[gandora]

honestly, i really want to just speak with her. it would be reassuring to know what her intentions are. they seem honest enough...

[weremongoose]

Speaking with her would be a start.

But words are cheap and easy. Anyone with half a brain can tell someone what they want to hear, or make something ugly sound at least halfway pretty.

[gandora]

i don't think so. i think that you can infer a lot from people if you realize their intentions. it's all about listening...at least listening to understand.

I'd put more weight into actions than their words. Listening or not, there are those who can spin a story into a certain light for their own benefit if they want to. It's a talent, and a dangerous one, in the wrong hands.
