Nautilus looked at the youngster, who was apparently confused with the thing happening to his phone. When the stranger said that his phone was not supposed to behave like what he currently saw, Nautilus knew that he wouldn't get the answer to the time problem from this guy. But somehow, he was also starting to think whether he was seeing a fellow roleplayer. The first time he arrived in the Guild, his cell phone signal was completely flat despite being in a location not too far from civilization. The youngster then poked him, which at first made him a little bit annoyed, but he tried not to show his emotions.

[i]"I really don't know what's going on here.."[/i], said the youngster.

For a while, Nautilus thought he was lucky. The youngster answered his question before he even asked it. The youngster's remark that he did not know what was going on unmistakably confirmed Nautilus's suspicion: this guy must have been a roleplayer. But he was not among the one who saw the wolf along with him, while at that time the-man-who-claimed-he-could-fly claimed that he had found all the roleplayers. What happened during the moments when he was unconscious? Were there other roleplayers taken into the Guild during that time? If so, what was wrong with roleplayerguild.com so that some of its members were sucked in? Has Mahz known of this? If so, has he done any measures against it? Those questions rolled in his head and he was thinking of possible answers to those questions when the youngster talked to him again.

[i]"Y-you wouldn't happen to have any food, would you? And uhh... do you know what that is?"[/i] said the youngster.

Nautilus focused himself back towards the youngster, and then looked at the direction pointed by the youngster. "I don't have any food with me either," he said, without looking at the stranger. There was darkness beyond the lake. The lake itself was cut by a neat line before the area shrouded by darkness. For him, it was a familiar phenomenon here, that it marked the setting change. But how to explain that to someone who was apparently just recently stuck inside the Guild? Nautilus took a deep breath before he started speaking. "I don't know much about what is going on either, although I do know a bit about it," he said, before pausing for one full second. "But before I explain that to you, I'll ask you a question that might help me in explaining it: What problems did you have the last time you surfed the Internet?" He was confident that the question would work, since it was along these lines that he finally accepted the fact that he was inside the Guild.
