Is There Anybody Out There? Tell Me What Went Wrong [audio]

[wormintheglass]

[The feed opens with Bianca singing unaccompanied: her voice is deep, rich, compelling, and pitch perfect. She breaks off after a few lines.]

Good morning, my dear Hadriel, and a very warm welcome to our newest residents. I am Bianca, and I'm here to ease your days, lighten your hearts and perhaps even ruffle your feathers!

It's always a turbulent time, when the door opens and strangers from all over the multiverse land haplessly in the sands of the Colosseum. Allow me, my new friends, to point you towards two useful features on the communication device you've been given - one is my dear friend Mello's guide for those new to the city and the other is a concise history of Hadriel as we know it, by the same author. I hope you savour his salty prose as much as I!

But enough about practical matters. Let us talk to each other, dear Hadriel. What makes you angry? What do you need to get off your chest? Tell Bianca. I am listening.

Do you need help? I know you haven't asked me, but I'm offering.

(As kind as he might seem - as gentle - he is an Elf who knows battle well.)

I think I need to change my routine. I find it far too easy to fall into a rut. (And a change will stop him from worrying too much about his uncle.) How far has anyone explored? Is there any point to it?
