Huh?

[Jack's scratching his head and staring into the book like it just told him a joke he didn't get.]

This is cool and all, but what is it? I don't think the captain ever told me about this. I guess it's magic. Not my thing so maybe I'll just leave it alone...

[He looks back before he can walk away.]

I'm Jack, though, in case there's actually someone out there... in the book? Ok Jack, talking to a book now. Guess I really do miss Ridley and the Captain already.

I'm sure you will too.

I'm from Amestris. Where are you from?

Radiata! I used to be part of the Knights here... but I'm just in the warrior guild now. Not as glamorous, but it's a lot more fun.

Knights? I've read about them... did you wear armor?

Either way, it sounds exciting. What does someone in the guild do?

Uhh... I guess the warrior guild is just there to help solve problems and do odd jobs really. People post requests and they hand them out to the squads. We're like knights, only we do it for money, I guess.

Also I wasn't in the Knights long enough to get any armor.

It sounds like a very exciting job. Are you waiting on a job now?

The guy at the front desk doesn't have anything for me right now I guess. I pretty much just need to stay at home and sleep.

What do you do anyway?

Rest is good for you, too. You don't want to be too tired to fight, when you have to.

I work in a restaurant. I do a lot of different things but my favorite is making deliveries. The town's very peaceful and it's a beautiful walk. It's not exciting but it's nice in it's own way.

There aren't any orcs where you are or anything? Seems like it'd be boring...

What's an orc?

Orcs are totally cool! They're huge and they're super strong, and if I can beat one I'll be recognized as a great warrior for sure!

... sorry, got a little carried away there.

I'm not a fighter. If I ran into one of those, I would have trouble finishing my job. There's none here but if they're evil, I'm grateful for that.

How big are they?

Pretty big. To be honest, they're not that great. One of them even hurt my friend Ridley, so I don't think I'll forgive them for that. But still... they're super strong.

Is your friend okay now?

I think so... I haven't seen her in a while though. She's still at Radiata Castle.

Even if you're angry at them, don't do anything to get hurt over it.

There's a castle? It's like a book. What is it like?

The castle? It's big. I got lost in it a lot and there's a lot of areas I couldn't get into. There's a lot of guards too, and pops is there, the guy I used to room with. He's a weird guy. I guess it's just a castle. They don't have them where you're from?

We have chapels but I've never seen a real castle.

Is your friend a knight too?

Yeah, she was made captain of her own brigade after her accident. She's a good friend, I hope she's ok.

Why don't you check on her?

I would, only I'm not allowed back into the castle since I was... kicked out of the Knights. The captain and I are barred from entering.

Oh, I'm sorry.

There are other ways to check! Can you send her a letter?

Hmm, I might. She did send a castle guard to my place with a message, I might be able to do the same for her. Good idea, Roze!

Then she wants to talk to you too!

I hope it helps.

Yeah, I think if I can get through to her I can at least know what's going on. Things have been crazy here, to say the least.

Did the Orc attack Radiata?

No, but things are just complicated lately. People keep turning up with this... disease. They call it algendars or something. I don't really know too much about it.

There are a lot of doctors around here. I don't know much about medicine but you might be able to find some help.

Thanks! That could be a lot of help. The people at the castle seemed to want to keep it quiet, but I don't know why.

Do things like that happen where you are?

I...Jack, be careful. They might want to keep people from being afraid but sometimes, the people trying to keep it quiet are the people responsible.

Well, I know the higher ups at the castle can be kind of mysterious sometimes, but I don't know if they'd really do that. But then again... they kicked the captain and me out for no real reason so... Do you really think so, Roze?

I don't know them but...but it's possible. That they would kick you out without reason doesn't make sense.

Just be careful, okay?

I will. I just wish I knew where the captain was right about now. He'd know what to do. Until then though, I'll just keep doing my job.

He's missing?

Well, he took off after he failed the entrance test at Theater Vancoor, where I'm working now. I just, haven't seen him since. He's a smart guy though, I'm sure he's doing fine.

You passed! That means you must be skilled too!

Haha, I don't like to brag, but I am a pretty good warrior.

How did you learn to fight?

Well I... I guess I just took up my sword and tried it. It came natural enough, but the captain and sarge from Theater Vancoor taught me a lot too.
