[It was competition time, which meant a lot of extra practice for Maron and the rhythmic gymnastics team in her school. Extra hours of practice meant a perfected routine to perform in the upcoming tournament. It also meant a lot of stress for Maron, especially since she had sprained her ankle as Jeanne not long before. But still, she was dancing, jumping, twirling, and balancing as if nothing was wrong in practice.
In fact, that's what she was doing, when she found herself in Luceti: jumping, leaping, twirling, stop. But one of her jumps across the mat wound her in a different world entirely. Maron began the jump at one end of the mat, ribbon in hand, dancing on the air as she began...
And it would end in Luceti, with her still jumping. Into people. Were you one of them, up on cherry blossom hill that she jumped into by accident?]
[later on, after getting settled into the welcome center and reading through the guide, Maron fiddles with her journal, and then speaks to the citizens:]
So we're stuck here indefinitely because of some crazy scientists called the Malnosso, no ways out?

Once she's on her feet and he's let her go, she'll look at him a little... awkwardly.]
Uh, sorry, sorry... I'm all right, but... I'm not exactly where I should be.

[Ginji fingers his chin, wondering how best to put this without scaring her or making it sound as if he made everything up on the spot. He sighs, at a loss, making a palm up gesture with his hand.]
This'll sound incredible, if not flat out impossible, but right now you're in Luceti. It's the name of the village where everyone lives. None of us are where we're supposed to be right now.

Maron will look around: at her surroundings, her clothes... this is far too an elaborate prank for any of her friends to pull off, and this guy looks a lot different than most around her home do...]
Yeah, that does sound pretty incredible. I don't have much choice in believing it, though.

[Sweatdrop.]
No, I guess not, and that's the best attitude you can take about it, really. You probably saw this coming, but what I've said is only the beginning. There are people responsible for bringing us here called the Malnosso. You don't see a lot of them, but they're still a dangerous bunch.

I guess the easiest way to put it is that the Malnosso are interested in research and experimentation. Every so often something out of the ordinary will happen in the village or some of us will get taken away to undergo experiments. Some people get sent on drafts instead.
As for the Malnosso Organization, they claim to have plans to send us back to our worlds eventually, but there's another group of people, the Third Party, who just want us out of the way.
Sorry, that's a lot of information at once.
