 [The feed turns on to the face of someone possibly familiar.]

Ahh, it is working? I was afraid this worked differently than the one I'm used to. 

[She folds her hands in her lap, but awkwardly--because her left hand keeps twitching uncontrollably. If you study her for longer than a few seconds, you'll notice it's for a reason. Her entire left arm, as well as the left half of her face is horribly scarred, with a lightning-like pattern on the skin itself. Her left eye is partially closed, and overall the left side of her seems awkward.]

My name is Madoka Kaname. If anyone here is familiar with a place called the Facility, please contact me.  [she pauses, looking a bit unsure.]

I guess...maybe it's good it was destroyed, if our worlds are all really gone, now. I hope everyone was able to get out safely, and those who weren't...

[A longer pause.]

They're in a better place, now.

There's no proof that anything was destroyed.

[heartfeltfancy]

Well, that's true, but...[She frowns a bit.] I like to hope. I mean, it was a horrible place, it was better that it got destroyed...

[alephbet]

Even if it was, there are hundreds of other worlds that would have been destroyed with it if that letter is true.

[heartfeltfancy]

...I guess I didn't think about that part.

[alephbet]

I don't mean to diminish what you've been through, but a lot of us liked our worlds.

[heartfeltfancy]

No, no, it's alright, I wasn't thinking of that, myself. I apologize.

[alephbet]

Don't worry about it.

My name's Aleph. If this place is better than where you came from, then I really can say it's nice to meet you.

[heartfeltfancy]

A-Ah, well, then, it's a pleasure to meet you as well. [She gives a little bow from her end of the feed.]

[alephbet]

[Aleph bows a little back.]

Have you seen much of the tower yet?

[heartfeltfancy]

Ah, I went to a couple of floors with the stairs. I think...the room with all the musical instruments in it? And one of the lounges. That's it, though.

[alephbet]

All right. When you go to the cafeteria, you should have oatmeal as your first meal. Anything else won't stay down. And what they're serving us right now can be poisonous - avoid the soup.

[heartfeltfancy]

Won't...stay down?

[okay she's used to crappy food, she'd been living off of energy bars and water bottles for the past three months, but...]

[alephbet]

Just have the oatmeal before you try anything else. It's bland, but better than nothing.

[heartfeltfancy]

If you say so, then I'll keep it in mind when I head down there.

[alephbet]

Let us know if you need anything. I'm sure someone in the tower will be willing to help out.

[heartfeltfancy]

[She gives a small bow of thanks.] I will. Thank you for the offer, and for informing me.

[alephbet]

No problem. We should be doing everything we can to help each other out.
