[Private to Yurippe.]

I'd like to hear more about your plans concerning sending a message to the Malnosso? I've tested my powers extensively [Between naps.] and they are greatly reduced. Regardless, if I can help, I will. I just need to know what direction you're taking.

[Private to Pascal.]

It's amazing the difference a little rest makes. [She looks much better. There is more color on her cheeks, her wounds are either healed or healing and her hair has been Charmed so the frizziness is gone.]

Have you explored the village? If not, I think we should start there and then branch out into the less obvious attributes of Luceti.

[/]

[Private to Luke Skywalker.]

Thank you again for coming to get me. If I can ever return the favor, please let me know?

[/]

I wasn't sure about this place when I first arrived, but it is proving to be quite fascinating. I almost don't mind losing some of my abilities [Or, rather, the intensity of them.] in order to meet those I never thought I would [More like: "could meet".].

If Luceti really is located in another dimension, it makes me wonder how many other dimensions there might be. Of course visiting them and keeping a tally would probably be a nightmare, but it is interesting to think about.

[She is slowly braiding her hair, sitting cross-legged in a chair. Over-all, she looks much better than she had on her arrival.]

For those I haven't met, my name is Hermione Granger. [A faint smile crosses her lips.]

What do you mean?

You're right. Everyone could be brought back to square one without any of us realizing it. However, if we're protecting each other, there would be clues we could follow in order to regain what we lost.

Thats absurd.

[Luke's nose wrinkles]

I assume that "muggles" have firearms, yes?

Yes, but they're really no match for Magic. Most of the Death Eaters are quite...talented, unfortunately.

Oddly, I find that hard to believe. I'm sure you're aware of my military background.

[He pauses, unsure if he wants to talk about violence with her, but decides he should]

A trained sniper, at least. I've found that trained, mundane humans can be quite dangerous, even to the most skilled of Jedi, or Wizards, I'm sure. Its all a matter of catching us by surprise.

But they would have to have knowledge of where they might strike beforehand. Besides, all Wizards and Witches in my world can Apparate in the blink of an eye. Under those circumstances, it would have to be a very talented sniper.

A thought, nothing more, Hermione.

[His voice has a fairly...mentory quality to it.]

Especially here, never discount a man with a gun and the will to use it. I'm sure you've gathered this isn't an entirely peaceful place.

[She comes to a halt, her eyebrows raising in unison.]

Have people shot at you here?

...It's like I'm on probation.

Well I can't deny that, anyway.

The Malnosso sometimes conscript us to fight for them, in drafts. And before you arrived, they sent a raiding party to locate a hidden individual within the village. I've had to fight here, yes.

We'll just have to try our best.

A...hidden individual? How were they hiding themselves? [It's like the war all over again. She should've expected it, but it's depressing.]

Who's marking your steps?

Exactly! Or even work to prevent the loss before it happens. For all the people with superpowers here, most of it's getting used to fight against the Third Party I think, rather than to protect ourselves.

We, the residents here, were hiding him, actually. Any building not made by the Malnosso they cannot spy into.

It's more a 'do I mess up badly enough for it to be noticeable' or not. Not like there's anyone here to notice, but messing up would still be bad news.

Why did you have to hide him in the first place? [She files that last tidbit away for use later.]

You're awfully hard on yourself. [She can certainly understand that.]

The Third Party? [That's a name she hasn't heard.] Is that another name for the droids? Or the Malnosso?

There are different factions among the Malnosso. The man in question was driven into the enclosure by another faction. He'd been involved with the Luceti enclosure in the past, and our line of thinking was the 'rancor you know is better than the gundark you don't.'

Not usually.

This place is just...a mess.

No, no. The droids work for the Malnosso. So they're the Malnosso tech. There are three main groups here. Us in Luceti itself, The Malnosso who are somewhere outside of the enclosure but are close enough to watch and experiment on us, and the Third Party who wants to kill us all because they think it's better than whatever it is the Malnosso's really got going.

You know, nevermind that we can't die here, the Third Party still keeps trying so it's really just a pain in the ass. Either they're really stupid, or.. [ Yuri trails off. She's kind of got a few ideas, but they're not something she wants to go into yet. ] Well, we'll just assume they're stupid for now because otherwise we're going to end up in the land of what-ifs. Then there are other enclosures like ours, I think. I don't actually know much about them, just that they're there.

We? What do you have to do with anything, jeez.

...Anyway, there's probably a roughly infinite number of dimensions.

I had assumed we were both intelligent enough.

Roughly, yes.
