[Oh, it's a challenge to not say something in retort to that, and Norma even bites her lower lip, quirking her head to one side at the effort. Don't, don't, don't, don't don't...
And of course he only skimmed, of course, though Norma can't really be too surprised. Ace' attention span was fleeting at best...and the Guide was enormous and pretty dang long-winded. It was a great source of info, but just such a massive amount to take in at one time from the sheer get-go. She rubs her face, pushing her hair back with a sigh. She is waaayyy too tipsy for this. Maybe she could just fake passing out or something.]
Jeez, what a disaster... That's not everything. Bare bones maybe, but you wanna give that Guide a serious look-through pretty soon. [Norma heads toward the exit of the bar - she could do with the fresh air, even if she hates the sheer cold more than anything else.] This isn't your home - you've been taken from that world completely, just like the rest of us. The Malno-no--uh, Malnosso scooped us all up from our worlds and dropped up here to experiment on us. Sometimes from different times than others from the same world.
...People come and go from Luceti at the will of the Malnosso. So you could be here today gone tomorrow, though that's barely ever the case. I've been here for going on three years now. And I've seen a lotta people appear and disappear during that time...real good friends I've made, y'know? Some of 'em leave keepsakes before they get sent back home...something to remember them by. [She glances back to the hat he's holding then turns her little sob into a cough, picking up the pace to get outside (and nearly tripping over her own feet, whoops) before tears well up in her eyes too much.] But then they come back again and don't remember they were ever here to begin with...
