eyeing other games, suggestions welcome
Why would I want to go to another game? Disney Academy is enough!
Another game? Watch out, those things can be scary!
I know! I'm already in a horror one. I don't want to be in another.
I don't blame you! The less horror, the better. The place I'm stuck in... It can get scary, sometimes. But a lot of the scariness comes from the war that goes on outside the village we're stuck in. And it's also scary that there's scientists who control this village.
But I guess we're lucky, too. That only some of us have to deal with the war and it's only sometimes. And a lot of the times the scientists will do experiments that can be silly instead of scary. And aside from that... leaving here in this village, in Luceti? It can be peaceful, and it's full of nice people.

Kind of. It isn't my forest, so I can't call it home. But it has a garden, so it isn't as terrible as it could be.
Have you, yet?
Have you, yet?
Wars are awful. I don't know what scientists are, but that sounds...bad.
I know that not all humans and things are bad now, but I don't want to meet too many. There might be nice ones, but then the bad ones might try to trick you into thinking they're nice too.

[The squid girl folds her arms. Her eyes narrow.]
I am fine as I am.
I am fine as I am.
[Aisling just nods. She doesn't want Yg'baladoth to get into one and get hurt. Although...]
You can learn more in a game, you know.

It is kind of bad. There are a few times when they made us think we were different people. But other times, the experiments they do to the village are just weird or silly. Like one time, last Christmas, they sent us silly little elves to follow us and see if we were being nice.
I understand. You're... like a spirit, right? I've known spirits, and I know that they could have troubles with humans sometimes. It's not hard to keep to hide yourself from others around here, but I do know that if you could be friends with me, I'd help you find other people to trust. Truthfully, there are some bad people living in the village, or people who used to be bad... but even they don't really do bad things around here. I guess being stuck here's kinda like a peace treaty sometimes!

[Aisling frowns deeply. She'd never want think she wasn't herself.]
Why would they care if you're nice? They should have elves to stop them.
I'm a faerie, of the Tuatha dé Danann. I still wouldn't like it. [The mun, on the other hand--]

I do not know. Explain.
[She's still quite irritated at the insinuation. But Ygy's curiosity won out and she peers over at Aisling.]

[On the spot now.]
You can learn about other worlds, a lot of the time, since the beings there come from lots of different ones. You can learn about the place you're in too. There's a Mist in the one I'm in that might be eating worlds, and we're trying to learn about it. We haven't had much luck with it yet...

It is probably a consuming one. An old one. One which have long since sated it's ravenous appetite and desires only occasional sustenance.
[Grumpy squid is grumpy.]

It was because of that Christmas holiday. At least we managed to get some neat gifts out of it all.
A... faerie? I see... I never met one before, but I heard about them here. It does sound kinda spirit-y! But if you don't wanna be called a spirit, that's fine! I'm sorry if you wouldn't enjoy it here. [But apps are open until the end of the 7th!]

We don't know. It has things called Strangelings too. The Mist makes you afraid, and it makes old aches come back...
[Aisling shakes her head a bit, trying to get back on track.] But it's a school, too! Classes for learning. And there's a library with many books, and they're supposed to have everything in them.

...What do elves have to do with Christ and winter solstice? [Color her confused.]
I have been called the spirit of the forest before...I don't really care.
Are there any games that are always enjoyable for a muse? [Rhetorical question.]

[At the description of the mist and the Strangelings, Yg'baladoth is entirely unimpressed. That changes when she hears of the school, though.]
A school? A building and instructors intending to impart the hard-earned knowledge of creatures of order share and continue the legacy of their minds?

I'm not really sure what Christ is, but Christmas is a little after winter solstice! It's a day when this guy named Santa rewards good kids with presents, so the elves are his helpers!
Okay, as long as it doesn't bother you!
I... You may have a point there. We do have a really big forest at least!

Yes! That's what an Academy is. And there'll be more to learn soon, they're taking people in from different worlds right now. At least until the 7th. [hint hint]
I don't know how it's helping fight off the Mist, though...

A man who died to make people not suffer forever, I think. [She doesn't really get it, but she knows that at least. Having a Christian monk-in-training as a best friend does that.]
A forest? [That gets her attention. All she has at the Academy is the gardens.] Does it have many people in it?

Perhaps if I may have a vision of the place, I may force my player to place me there.

[Mwahahaha.]
...It's a bit hard to get in. It took us four tries. --You can do that? Make them listen?

Oh. That- that sounds like a very noble thing. [While he's just a fantasy monk who is part of a recincarnation cycle of his own world's counterpart to a messiah.]
Not really! I mean... I don't think anyone lives in the forest, and there's a lot of it surrounding the village. People still like to take walks through it and explore it. [There used to be the wolf god Moro around to claim the forest as her domain and protect it, but she sadly is now long gone.]

...I would rather live there than in gardens. Though I wouldn't be happy with people trespassing through it. Do you know what animals live there? ...Like wolves?
I have some control. You have dwelled within my mind's eye. Being a part of my player's mind is no different. Only that I am not the one that controls. And yet that knowledge is what grants me power.
My player is also unsure. With what I am and where I come, they may decide that my presence would threaten the antagonist they most carefully constructed.
