[ thankfully, the partying has finally died down. ciri has actually been able to enjoy some restful sleep in silence without the sudden explosions of fireworks or the deep bass of constant music. she still looks tired but settles the device in a safe place, sitting back with her silver sword in hand and carefully beginning to clean the blade. ]

A lot of us here have powers. Magic, alchemy and other such skills but I find myself curious. Has anyone else suffered having their powers taken from them? I've only had a portion of mine fully removed while the rest has been... dampened, I suppose.

[ she's pretty sure she knows why she was stripped of a portion of her powers. after all, it wouldn't be good if she could just leave this world when they were clearly brought here for some reason. still, she is curious if it was this 'door' or those 'gods' that are the cause. ]

Also: there are those here that wish to learn how to wield a sword, yes? I can help with that if you're serious. I can also teach others how to make bombs and potions. We had many potions back home that proved useful against monsters and other beasts, I am hoping they can prove useful here as well.

[ there's a move to end it but she pauses just before— ] And my name is Ciri.

[ God, there would have been hell if they took weapons away too. Fuck that shit. ]

It makes sense. If they want to use us, we can't be able to leave. [ Which means no Ark. Murf. There's a bit of scoff that he gives with a breath. ] Anything less than that, they probably don't care much about.

For now, anyway. We have four gods in this miserable cave and each is playing their own game. Who knows when one might decide to render us completely powerless or without weapons.

[ there's a noise, somewhere between a scoff and sounding disgusted. ] Hopefully not though.

Four? What are the other two, then? The one that just came back made mention of Rage.

[ Oh, oh Kanda certainly hopes that's never the case. It would certainly make more of a mess of things, and he can only give a soft hum of agreement. ] Hopefully not.

Hope and Fear are the other two. I haven't heard much of the latter but the former can be quite talkative toward us.

[ whether that's a good or bad thing, who knows. this was all bad in some way to her. ]

What, are these people just based on human emotions or some other kind of bullshit?

[ Honestly, it all sounds like it's bad in some way - human emotions were just so. Fickle. ]

A little of column A, a little of column B. Apparently they gain strength based on the emotions we feel and the more of one emotion there is then the stronger they are.

Well isn't that just dandy. [ /s ] Trap us here ad make us feel things. Totally productive.

It is for them, I imagine. Though it honestly feels more like being a child's plaything.

Which I don't particularly care to be. Like everyone else.

Why even bother to bring them back, is what I'm most curious about. They were [ words, Kanda. ] sent away for one reason or another.
