The First Page: [V i d e o]

I haven't the slightest clue why I was brought to...? [What does she even call this place? A forest? A paradise? She doesn't feel entirely settled with calling her new surroundings the latter. Something is definitely off. After all, hadn't she been in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts a moment ago?

Crossing her arms over her chest, she presses her lips together, a determined glint in her eyes.]

My name is Hermione Granger and I know for a fact that I did not choose to come here. Nor did I choose to have wings fastened onto my back.

[That part is quite curious. Bringing her somewhere against her will is one thing, but attaching wings to her back without her realizing it is another. She wonders if she had been rendered unconscious for awhile.]

Is there any way to rid myself of them? They are...cumbersome. [Not to mention they make her feel like a walking target.

She lowers her voice and adds in an undertone:] It's a shame Luna didn't come with me. This seems like something out of The Quibbler.

[Rolling her shoulders to relieve some tension, she exhales.]

I have a number of questions for anyone who has the time. I've tried to speak to the villagers, but they're not terribly... [animate] ...helpful. I wonder if they're under some spell?

[Hermione shakes her head and shifts from foot to foot.]

I would sincerely appreciate any aid. Thank you.

[This friendly looking guy is lazing in the woods like the hippie he is when he hears your video and thus opens his journal to respond only to gasp when he recognizes you. He won't ever say it, but he's read the books you're from in his world. He knows immediately that spoilers are exactly that and so he'll pretend to have never known a thing about you at all.]

Welcome to the nicest cage you'll ever inhabit is all I can say. Free everything whenever you want it but you can never leave and sometimes people go missing for a while.

If you wanna talk to anyone, talk to the villagers who look aware of their surroundings. I'm not sure I fit the bill, but I try.

The name's Michael, Miss Granger. Good to meet you.

Hello, Ms. Granger. I am Tarrlok and this place is Luceti. I suggest you do not touch the wings on your back. As someone who learned first hand, having them harmed in any manner is quite painful. In extreme cases it has been said that complete removal can cause death.

As for the explanation to this place...it may cause some confusion.

Don't try to get rid of the wings, though I'm sure someone warned you already. The most harm they do is make it really uncomfortable to sleep on your back.

Long story short Luceti is a place in a completely different world from your own, protected by a barrier that keeps anything from getting in or out without the Malnosso's permission. Most people here are from different worlds, including the Malnosso. Malnosso are guys who claim they're in charge here and they basically are because they're the ones who have all the power and we've basically got none. Well, some if you had some beforehand, but it'll be limited. You can't actually die here, if you do you'll come back with some serious side-effect of some sort. The Malnosso guys experiment on people after kidnapping them. It's supposedly so that they can find a way to get everyone home, but their experiments rarely ever seem to have to do with that. Oh and the barrier's up to protect us from the other bad guys outside who want to kill all of us instead of letting us keep here.

Other than that this place is basically a paradise if you get along with everyone. And yes, that was the short version. If you head over to the welcome center they've got a lot of information there too.

The wings are cooler than cool, right? Who has wings slapped on their back like it's nothing? Someday I want to find out how they pull off the whole wing job thing.

[But anyway, moving on.]

I dunno what other people have been saying to ya' or whatever buuut if you still have any questions you can throw 'em over this way Hermione! I'll totally do my best to answer them all.

We were all brought here, and the wings aren't something we can get rid of. I'm sorry.

[Luke's image pops to life. Its that time again, New Feathers coming in and he feels its the right thing to do, help out]

Hello Ms. Granger. My name is Luke Skywalker, and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Before that though, I would advise against playing with the wings too much, they are tender when you first arrive and damage to them can have severe consequences.

[Lee encounters a type of name he's not used to pronouncing.]

Greetings, Hermaini-san. I am Rock Lee, and I am also known as a "New Feather". I would be glad to help you in adjusting to this strange place.
