[Flowing, almost archaic script starts to inundate the page.]

Dearest Brother,

I do not know if you will ever receive this letter. All I know is that I have been spirited away to this dastardly, horrid, menacing, troubling, and mysterious place known as Isla Empieza. I am very much afraid – who knows what the people here would do to a young maiden such as myself? Oh, oh, my dearest brother, my virtue is at stake – you must come at once! If I die here, I will come back to haunt you and you will never hear the end of it, so I suggest that you come and fetch me at this very moment! One such man asked me my name, and I threw him off the dock. I am truly helpless, waif-like, and defenseless, and I need your aid!

Please, also let my darling fiance Ranma-sama know that I am longing for him. I will simply not entertain thoughts of any other until I find myself in his arms once more. I know how he grieves, but console him, my dearest sibling. How he must pine for me – it is unthinkable.

Brother, I will put this letter in a bottle and hope that it reaches you. I will perhaps ask a turtle to bear it for me. When you receive this, please come and rescue me!

Love,
The Star of Hope of the Gymnast World
The Black Rose
Your Beloved Sister
Kodachi

[Some time later . . .]

I can't rip the page out! I've been trying for hours! It just . . . flies back into the journal . . . !!! Magic exists, but only to taunt me! The fates are against me! I'll never be rescued now!

[Cue shrieks, wails, and sobs. When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.]

What a noble perspective.

[A sniff. Would she feel bad if her brother were kidnapped and brought here to suffer? Not really. (That may change in the future, but for now, she wants someone to share in her misery, damn it.)]

Thank you. I can't say what will happen here but quests are usually dangerous. I wouldn't wish that on my friends.

[No they have things they should be doing back in the other world.]

Have you had quests before?

[How mysterious.]

In role playing games I have. They are pretty common to find among those.

[She's trying to avoid mentioning where she was before now however.]

Role playing games? What are those?

[She's had a sheltered life.]

[They aren't the only one who asked that so she is rather happy to answer.]

They are as it says games. Usually video games or table top games where people play characters and go on all sorts of questions for rewards. You gain experience on this questions or missions, get money and weapons and awmour. It's quite a fun hobby to do honestly.

I've never heard of such a thing. What sort of characters does one play?

For a table top you create your own character. They can be any class and any type. Like I could create a elvian mage or a troll knight. The possibilities are pretty endless.

And if one wanted to be a princess bride, I suppose that would be possible too?

If that is the case, it seems like a game I could play. Ohohohoho~!

Possibly yes. Only in a game however, I'm not sure you could apply that to real life.

Oh, now you burst my bubble!

Surely anyone can be anything they want to be!

With hard work, maybe. But there are some things in roleplaying games you just can't no matter what.

Then you just have to break the rules.

I don't have any rules I need to break.

Not even in this place?

As of right now, no. I only just got here.
