So first of all, I want to apologize for my, well, my rather abrupt message the other night. I didn't want to scare anyone, but I ended up doing that anyway. Long story short, while trying to help someone else here, I got stabbed. I'm okay-- [She holds her hands up for emphasis; her right arm appears to be bandaged.] I made it out a lot better than I could have. I managed to deflect it, for the most part.

But that's not why I'm posting. I had a dream that night, and the more I think about it, the more I think it might have been an echo. I can't remember a lot of details about it, but I remember a name: "The Field of Justice." I think I remember seeing others, but no real details about them.

I know, it sounds really hokey, and that's why I didn't want to say anything about it at first. It could have just been the pain medication I'm on, but you never know, right? Has anyone heard about anything like this; a place that champions of legend fight one another, with the same name maybe? Or even something similar? I feel like I'm grabbing at straws...

... A couple of days.

Oh wow, you really are new, then. What do you know so far?

Very little.

Mostly I am just aware of the existence of echoes.

So no one's gone over even the basics? Hmm. It's a bit hard to explain. There's some reading, and that might better to show you first, then I can try to fill in the blanks.

Do you have time? I can forward the FAQ to you.

[ Sona secretly really hates not knowing and not being ahead of the game, but she got so overwhelmed with the whole Network business that each time she really tried to research she just got lost. ]

If you don't mind.

Not at all! Just a sec.

[A few moments later, in comes a text message with an attachment titled faq.html]

... This explains a lot about the current state of things. Thank you.

But there are many things that appear to still be a mystery to everyone.

Unfortunately, yes, there are more unanswered questions than anything else.

[Something that bothers her to no end.]

I don't know what I should be doing with myself.

That's natural, it's a lot to take in after all. Some people decide to sit back and wait for things to happen, then decide what the best course of action is. That's what I did when I first joined. I'm not much of a fighter yet, so I do what I'm good at. For a while, that was sitting back and supporting others, like by gathering data and compiling information to see if we could make the pieces we got fit together.

I'm sure everyone here is here for a reason, and even if you don't know what that is yet, something will come to you.

I don't yet have anything of use to bring to the table.

But when I do I would like to take a more active role...

That's a good approach to have.

Oh, that's right, what kind of echo did you get?

I recalled that I am mute.

[She blinks a few times.]

That's not one I've heard before.

Yes, from what I've seen it's unusual...

At least you still have your voice, right? I mean, you only remembered being mute, not actually...

[That came out a lot faster than she could catch it; her face said it all.]

[ her next messages takes a minute, because at first she almost wants to tease Luci, but realizes that would be mean. ]

Don't worry about it.

So you did lose it, then. I'm sorry.

It's alright. It was some time ago, and there are many other means of communication.

That you lost your voice, or that you echoed back that you lost your voice? ...Which would be the same thing.

Okay, just to make sure I've got this straight, now long have you had this number?

Since I was eight. Though I only thought to do anything with it recently. Afraid I was a bit slow.

That long, really? Wow, you have a lot more willpower than I do. Although from what I understand, they wouldn't have worked until just recently anyway.

Did you lose your voice when you got them?

Yes. I was sick, and couldn't speak.

I realized that this was normal, for me, and my voice never came back.

I see. That must have been hard.

Harder then than now.
