Taming the Wind

So these other worlds have little attachments to people's names as a form of respect. I wonder if I should be using them? After all, when in Prox...

There's been a lot of talk of "data manipulation" and "seals" on these journals lately. I still don't understand it all, and I haven't been able to find much about either term in Sanctity's library...

What exactly are we doing in this world?

[An almost ridiculously high-pitched but freakin' loudmouthed and still inexplicably male voice.] And I got another question for ya! Do these 'digimon' things drop BIT when you kill 'em?!

[A male voice, sounding resigned.] It's all about the kill for you, isn't it, Squall?

[Oh, look, it's the loudmouth again.] No way! HelLO~ what's my power again? OH, THAT'S RIGHT, STUNNIN'. Not killin', stunnin'; it means they're alive to fight again some other time! I'm just askin'!

[This one sounds like a big sister.] I know it's been centuries but I STILL don't see why you'd want to hurt people in the first place. I know it can't always be avoided but you seem to take such pleasure in it...

[Loudmouth.] Who said I was talking to you?

[And now what seems to be the voice of a little girl.] Guys! Stop it! PLEASE!

[This one's obnoxious, isn't he?] Aww, look who's talking. It's Haze! What are you going to do, turn INVISIBLE on me?

[It's the big sister again...] SQUALL!

[And now back to your regularly scheduled Ivan.] Okay, come back, come back!

[A few 'whoosh'-type sounds, a bit muffled.]

Um, please excuse my Djinn. I let them out for five minutes and Squall feels the need to comment on this device... At least I can tune them out when they're back in my head...

I think I've gotten the hang of this device... It's intriguing, everything just shows up at the touch of a button; I can't say I've seen anything like it before, and it doesn't appear to be running on Psynergy either... But why I'm writing a journal (I think) at a time like this...!

I fell asleep in Vale and it looks more like Lemuria here; yet the civilization appears far too advanced (perhaps this is what Piers was saying it looked like in the Golden Age?), and it seems mostly inhabited by monsters. None of my friends are around. I haven't sleep-summoned for a long time but Flora's around, and she looks different, and for some reason I can't recall her. I still have all my other Djinn with me, which is a relief, but I know I'm not as strong without Lull, Aroma, and Luff set...

I wish there was a way I could find out what was going on. I tried talking to some of the monsters and they just spouted something about "data" and a "digital" (did I spell that right?) world, and then they'd spot Flora and go "bow chicka bow wow", whatever that means... Mind Read wasn't overly helpful either. Though I guess I should be grateful that A) they're not attacking and B) they can communicate at all...
