[ something is recording, it's possible to tell by that faint... rustle and buzz that is present even when no actual sound is made to be recorded and just faintly there's the sound of wind and leaves rustling... But he's not saying anything. Probably unintentionally set the journal to record voice and didn't know how to turn it off.

There are things he wants to ask, he just doesn't know quite where to start. Hyoga seems to realise he's being recorded after a couple minutes of silence...there is still more silence but his gaze is at least fixed on the camera.

Why is there a camera in a book? It is one of many things he doesn't understand. Finally the recording stops and instead there's a neatly written post. ]

How many people live in that village? [ hopefully there's only one village, he was only able to find one...sense one really. Sense where most people seem to be. ]

Are any of the people here native to this place? [ it didn't look like it from what he listened to/read.

And he ends it there. There's a lot more he wants to ask but maybe it'd be better if he could get someone one on one. This is him awkwardly reaching out. ]

I haven't met anyone who says they're a native, but that doesn't mean some of them aren't, just that they're not admitting to it.

Where are you from? Have you been in this place long?

I'm from Panem. I've been here since the fifth of this month. [And, well, he didn't ask for it, but might as well:] My name is Clove.

Most people really come from completely different ~~places~~ worlds then?

[ oh right, manners. ]

Sorry, it's a lot to take in. I'm Hyoga.

My head's still spinning from it all. I understand.

[A pause, and she drops down a line to separate the thought.]

A lot of people seem to come from different places, yeah, and they come from different times.

Have you found anyone you know from your home world? [ he thinks he feels someone he knows but it's the last person he'd imagine he's half convinced he's wrong. ]

Three people. [None of whom she's thrilled to see.]

Sorry if I'm being intrusive.

Is most of what I need to know just what's written in the guide? I don't want to take up too much of your time. [ awkward, awkward, if it's not clear in the way he speaks that little picture of his expression probably clarifies it. Or he just seems terribly stoic. ]

You're really not taking up my time. There's not a lot to do here.

The people I know from where I'm from and I don't get along, but a lot of people here seem really friendly. ~~It's weird.~~ [Yeah, that last bit gets crossed off. That seems like it's just inviting problems.]

The Guide's pretty helpful, but I can't tell you how accurate it is. Haven't been here long enough.

Everyone's in the same boat I guess. [ though he's not sure how he'd deal with friendly people, one person he can deal with. Maybe two. ]

There's a lot of things in it that seem unbelievable.

I know, right?

How much do you believe?

I don't think anybody actually is from here and I don't have an exact number, but with a guestimate? At least a small village size. Definitely.

So a few hundred you think? [ maybe it's just because the weather is nice and people are about that it seem so much bigger than what he's used to. ]

How long have you been here? [ oh and because talking to Clove reminded him. ] My name is Hyoga, by the way, I just arrived here.

I don't know yet.

There's more than just a few villagers here, I would say. Two hundred people at least? Lively on some days.

Wouldn't be too surprising if it was that many, but it's still only a guess. [He doesn't want to give him the wrong idea.]

About two months so I really understand how you must feel. Nice to meet you, though, Hyoga. I'm Gordo.

Definitely a few hundred, but none of us that are inside the enclosure are natives. ...well, unless you count some of the ones who were born here because their parents were brought here.

[ Kotomi seems to be thinking, as if she's trying to figure out an exact number.. but then instead ends up with this after a pause. ]

... A lot. [ a lot of people here, that is. her voice sounds pretty blank. ]

[ he seems to understand. Or well that's what he observed so he just assumes it's what she means. ]

That's what it looked like. [ his voice is possibly equally blank, stoic or awkward? ]

It seems. [ terrifying? suffocating? intimidating? weird? ]

It seems that way.

[ it takes a while to respond because there is some sense of horror flashing through his mind. ]

People have settled here so far as to build a family? Has no one ever been able to leave this place?

[ Blank buddies! ]

The whole village is full of people. People walking everywhere, people sitting in houses, people going shopping.. a lot of people.

It looks that way to me as well. [ more than two hundred maybe, if he's guessing by comparing it to Yakoff's village. ]

It's the only settlement, right? There seems to be some people living outside of the village but that's where the bulk of the people live, right?

[ he's trying to see how accurate his senses are in this place, given the block that he seems to feel. ]
