Hello. Since I'm certain many of you are busy or predisposed searching for the people who were likely abducted for another experiment, I'll try to be short with this.

A certain FAQ has been forwarded into my care recently from the old owner. If you are new here, I'd really like to take the time to suggest you please read it, even if it's gotten a bit large, because this is very important for those of us who happen to be trying to simply live here, and doubly so for those who don't know what floor is dangerous or what goes on here. AKA you newbies.

I have but one simple request: Tell me what would you like me to add to this, if anything. Another one, if you're not busy: would you mind giving me some questions that you hear frequently? I'm considering adding a Q&A about what we know/don't know/what to do and not to do, but I'm not certain if it's necessary or not.

That's all, really; I want to do my best to make sure this is as well-maintained as the original author intended.

I think it's important. A lot of people have felt death and might assume it's like that.

It's not. At all.

... You were the one who asked them to remove it, weren't you?

[After a minute, Rox turned on the feed and situated himself more properly infront of the camera. He sort of wanted to prove that 'see I am not broken up over this' at the least, and this was the easiest way he knew how to do that.] Yeah. I wasn't doing very well before it happened, but everyone saw that part. I don't know how much they really saw of the rest.

[A pause-] I...didn't go back to watch where the feed cut off.

You'll forgive me for not reciprocating the video gesture.

... But it showed the entire incident, unfortunately. I was there; I saw it. I can understand how you felt, though, at the time. Believe me.

Whatever you're willing to tell me, I'll listen to, but if you get uncomfortable, you don't have to say anything else. Can you agree to that?

[Roxas leaned in when he read the response, nodding as he kept talking.] Yeah, don't worry about it. Working on this could probably get you in trouble with the administration anyway, so please try to be careful if you can. If you can agree to that, then I agree in turn, okay?

[A-hem.]

It wasn't like...pain, at first. It was just draining, and I sort of felt light-headed? But then everything felt like I was being torn up from the inside out. I think I got the air knocked out of me before the pain really hit me. It still wasn't like being stabbed or anything. It felt like...all of me was being destroyed, not just my body.

[ ... Wow. He's not... shocked, but-- ]

... That's--

That sounds like your soul's being ripped apart, not... your body. That's... if that's true, that means this is really something bigger than any of us might imagine.

I mean, we've all known it's not going to be sunshine and daisies, but...

[Roxas gave a bit of a short nod, because while he was mostly over it...he'd still rather die a thousand times than feel that again. And it bugs him.]

I've died a couple times now. It...wasn't the same. Even with how bad my memory can be, I couldn't forget that sensation if I tried.

I just really hope nobody else ever has it happen to them, or tries to mess with their collars. I would feel much better if I could at least get that across. I don't think it's important enough to put the entire experience in the FAQ, but I know a lot of people try to take them off when they first arrive. Even if I doubt we can, if someone demands it come off on the network when they're new...

[He's just...going to leave it at that.]
