[Sora sounds mildly sheepish, as if he knows he's gone and done something stupid, though apparently he doesn't think it's a big deal.]

So, guys. I've been thinking of doing this for a while, but I kind of slacked off on it. I think I mentioned this to someone, but I'm not a hundred percent sure, but anyway...

[There's a clinking that is most likely a couple of potion bottles being dropped into a pocket or a bag.]

I really think that the areas where the monsters are hanging out might be where we can find some clues as to who or what brought us here and is keeping us here. So, I was thinking of looking around in one of those places. Probably not the basement in the big house. Been there and there doesn't seem to be much there to look into.

[He zips something up and hmms softly before going on.]

I'm 'thinking' of looking into Castle Oblivion, though... I'm not quite sure about that. If anyone's got any other ideas, I'm curious, but I was thinking of there because it's a big place. Bigger inside than looks like ought to be, actually. So if our considerate host is looking to hide something from us, it might be a good place.

[He grumbles something that the microphone doesn't quite catch and sighs.]

Not today, though. Tomorrow. If any one wants to come with me, meet me outside the castle first thing in the morning.

[The message ends here.]

I wish I was joking. We haven't heard from you in a while.

This is true.

...You can't be serious. I saw you just the other day, I went to bed... Yeah, I overslept, but I can't really have been out for more than ten hours or so, could I?

I... don't even want to do the math right now to tell you how many hours it has been. No one's seen you in two months and I'm not even sure why no one checked the Lair, but... Two months.

[He's trying not to sound worried, but he's kind of failing.] I'm not making this up.

But... [She's clearly grasping at straws here, even though she pretty much knows Sora's telling the truth by now.] But it's not like I've been asleep for that long. I'd be skin and bones if that were the case. Right?

Well... if magic's involved somehow, you can sleep for a long time without anything like that happening. [It may or may not be a figment of the imagination, but Sora might sound like he's speaking from experience here. Whoch he basically is, but Kit doesn't know that and he's not going to explain it right now.]

Magic, huh?

[She's silent for a few moments before speaking up again. This time, she's gone past "confused and alarmed" and straight to "furious."] Fine. I'm going to find whoever decided to put me into a fairy tale, and I'm going to make them regret it. Will you help me?

Yeah.

[A sigh can be heard.] That probably goes hand-in-hand with finding out who brought us here and getting them to send us back. Yeah, we'll see what we can find out.
