Some suggested a simulation of some sort, but regardless: all four of us were suddenly in the middle of space, on a path we could not see, and somehow able to still breathe.
[Folding his arms as he continues on with the story]
Though very quickly we were separated. I with Ochako, and Soo-Won and Xie Lian off somewhere else. You will have to speak with them to get their version of events.
Me and the girl were taken to a rocky planet where we were forced to battle two monsters. By some measure of luck and skill, we defeated them with minor injuries.
[...]
However, the next place we ventured was some sort of facility room, and that is where we found Soo-Won and Xie Lian, dead in two chairs. Ochako discovered serums that supposedly would bring them back to life, albeit with... side-effects.
[Frowning now. Just guess what happened]
They were brought back to life, yes, but were murderous and had to be killed again before they took our lives.
[ Oh, what a story, one Alphinaud is genuinely shocked to hear the more it goes on. Once finished, he grits his teeth. ]
Confound it! 'Tis as I feared when I saw you and the others emerge from the other side of the bridge... I had a mind to ask if you had been to the moon, but it would seem that space as a whole is far too dangerous for us to be traversing so easily.
[What an impassioned response. Chiron has no basis for comparison when it comes to this young man, so he watches with great interest, head tilted in thought]
As I said, I do not know if it was a simulation, an actual location we were taken to, or some other manner I cannot discern...
But the wounds were real. [Gestures to himself. They were very real]
In any case, the two came back to life again, though without any prompting. That is why they are here at all.
[ They supposedly came back... Yet Hajime and Pikachu were left to be dead for good? Alphinaud scowls. ]
You are not the first to return from out there without first encountering some manner of foul beast; however, it had not ended quite as disastrous as yours. I had rather hoped the warnings would be heeded– [ Which were... just signs. ] –but if you say you were brought there against your own volition, then... I mislike what that could mean.
[ Great. Cool. So now there's the possibility of people getting unwittingly thrown into these godawful situations. ]
I have only heard of it second-hand, but they were not uninjured after the encounter. 'Twould seem there are other monsters on the moon, with terribly horrific screams... This is all I know.
Nay, it appears we are not. I am loathe to think of what more could happen with the sudden appearance of this station... Or if there is aught that can be done about it.
To better prepare us for any hardships, I had thought to create a little basket of goods and materials -- salves, light ointments, and bandages we've made from spare cloth.

If you are certain, although, should you not be resting at the very least?
no subject
Ah... I will rest, certainly, once I am done sharing information.
[A glance to the side, like he's expecting someone to just teleport here and start nagging him]
Though if I take too long, I might be greatly chastised...
no subject
Well then, I do have to admire your dedication. Then let us get right to the point—where had you four gone?
no subject
[Hm]

[Finishing the thought that Alphinaud starts, his own mouth thinning]
And what was the other encounter...? I had not heard of it.
no subject
I have only heard of it second-hand, but they were not uninjured after the encounter. 'Twould seem there are other monsters on the moon, with terribly horrific screams... This is all I know.
no subject
[Looking momentarily concerned??? Who found this out, what are you children doing when his back is turned and he's suffering in some terrible CYOA]
I see... So it is best not to assume we are safe no matter where we go.
no subject
Nay, it appears we are not. I am loathe to think of what more could happen with the sudden appearance of this station... Or if there is aught that can be done about it.
no subject
[The ugly truth, but Chiron doesn't want to poison anyone with false optimism]
Instead, we must be vigilant and careful... and perhaps stick close with at least one or two individuals at a time.
no subject
[ And it!! sucks!!!! ]
I will be certain not to wander on my own for long outside of the inn, in any case. If only there were more we could do...

But I will need extra hands to see it through.
no subject
You are in need of assistance, then. A brilliant idea—full glad I would be to lend you my aid best I am able.
no subject
[Laughing at this bc now they have a first aid station but Chiron might still insist they give everyone doggie bag supplies for the road]
no subject
Rest assured, I am not so busy that I cannot make time as soon as possible. Though, I may suggest you get yourself a decent night's sleep, first.
