Ah--is it working now? Yes? Good.

[Though curt, the speaker retains just enough politeness in his voice to pass as "approachable". The image suddenly turns, giving everyone a good look at the owner of the bracelet: a man wearing a peculiar body suit. Worry and frustration hardens the lines of his face.]

If anyone is hearing this--or seeing this, I suppose, as this device is apparently capable of transmitting video recordings as well as sound--I would like to have a few things clarifed. The maid has already helpfully informed me of the basics, but was unwilling to tell me much else.

Am I to understand that every single person brought here is expected to stay in this city for an indefinite amount of time? And that everyone has been given an ability of some sort?

[Charles stops, taking a breath.] My name is Charles Xavier. If anyone could answer my questions as well as disclosing the specifics, I would be most grateful.

You're right. They ignore us most of the time. [Apollo doesn't exactly think highly of the gods.] I've looked through the library, and so have other people. There are a lot of books there, from different worlds, but absolutely none about this place.

We have tried that. There's a census that we were working on. [Apollo pauses.] It was voluntary, obviously and a lot of people didn't fill it our right. [Not that it was a complete failure.] Some did, though. Here...

And here's a link.

It's interesting! You can get to know your fellow captives. [For good or ill.] And fill it out, if you want.

No, keeping the relevant information would be much too easy. [Though he certainly wishes it were that simple, for once.] I would assume that these gods of ours are quite cunning, and it's unlikely they would overlook something like that.

[He saves this information for later. It's quite long.] So this is the census that was mentioned. One person organised it?

[He nods again.]

The one place we're not allowed to enter is the castle where we first show up. You don't see much of it when you initially arrive, and then you're not allowed to go back inside. There's no way to get in.

[Apollo understands, as he worked on it and read through it. It's a lot to read.]

Elika and someone named Shion came up with the initial idea, but a few of us helped with expanding the idea and collecting the information. Myself included.
