[anonymous text] IS ♞ EVEN ON THE NETWORK'S CHARACTER MAP || 003

[morituramfides]

We have taken the liberty of doing some research into the Tower's history and past trends, in hopes of uncovering something about the way this place operates, or solving one of the many mysteries that surrounds it. It would greatly benefit us if you could lend your assistance and help us with our research; the more people that answer the better, as it gives us more data to work with.

We understand that someone's probably sick of these kind of forms, questions and questionnaires, but we've done our best to compile the data from the past ones and hopefully not make it too repetitive, and get to the heart of the matter:


Name: (Optional)
Collar Color: (Self-Explanatory; if your collar color was changed during that screw up, if you remember what color it was changed to and the effects it had on you, we request that you record these as well. If you don't remember, that's perfectly fine.)
Special Abilities: (Superhuman or otherwise. Don't sell yourself short, please.)
Estimated Duration of Stay in the Tower: (Also Self-Explanatory)
Any Theories as to the Meaning of the Collars: (Optional, but any ideas would greatly help our research.)
Experiments/Special Events Experienced:(We're trying to put together a timeline of events that have occurred since the Tower was created, but we have not been present long enough to know all of them, and information on the earlier days seems to be scant. Putting them in chronological order would be extremely helpful if you remember about when each took place.)

And here's the form in a handy dandy code:
<b>Name:</b> <b>Collar Color:</b> <b>Special Abilities:</b> <b>Estimated Duration of Stay in the Tower:</b> <b>Any Theories as to the Meaning of the Collars:</b> <b>Experiments/Special Events Experienced:</b>

In addition, we have a few more gaps we'd like to fill about the earlier days of the Tower, but it seems that many of the people that were here at the beginning have disappeared. For those that were here in the very early days, we have a few questions about the environment-- nothing too invasive. Your cooperation would be invaluable.

Lastly, we have one more question to posit, both for discussion and for the sake of our curiosity and research; how do souls work in your world? If you have information on how your own soul specifically works and are willing to share it, this would help us a lot.

For any of these queries, if you feel more comfortable locking your answer, this is perfectly acceptable and we will take steps to make sure it is as private as possible. Anonymous posting may also be used if you're dubious as to the functionality of the lock system.

[Hell, this is even blindsiding him a bit, though the shock is less obvious.]

..Zo's this kid, forced to work as a Tower admin because of his abilities. The only other people he can really interact with are three adults, who are always busy running the place. He uses his powers to not only try and bring everyone's friends to the Tower-- he tries to bring himself a friend. But no one besides those four are supposed to be in the admin area, so something screws up.

Jason, Riki and Dax aren't happy with it, but they're forced to deal with it. She de facto joins the admin team, and displays some...abilities of her own, so they can't say no to her. They're all scared shitless, and Zo is happy like the dumb little kid he is.

[beknightedheroine]

_{[..she puts the paper down, with a note of some finality.]}

And she gets to play all the games with us she wants.

[morituramfides]

Fuck.

[Everyone hates Ruana, though that was no surprise.]

It doesn't explain Jason's twisted obsession with surgery, but he never did get to his "fun" until after the garbled stuff, did he?

[beknightedheroine]

We'll have to check when he did that thing with the groups -- But the admins didn't pull anything like they do now, before Zo broke things. Hell, they came up and talked to people!

..I'd still bank on Jason being a bastard regardless of her.

[morituramfides]

No doubt about that; one doesn't just unleash his inner psychopath just 'cause an annoying little girl showed up.. Besides, from what I remember Jason was scared of her. Or at least put off.

[Which he could easily confirm by looking up that video from before the pods fiasco. 'Course he was looking a little green around the gills at the thought, but. It was for research!]

[beknightedheroine]

So.

..What can we do with this?

When she first showed up, a few guys were all "oh let me help" and she let them down there. She had some kinda control over the tower even then. Dunno had that went for them, but I'm saying bad.

But she's got a nice setup now. Gets to powertrip all she wants!

[morituramfides]

I doubt anyone that's ever been in those elevators have ever gotten out alive if they weren't hearding them to a new game. [And a slight roll of his eyes at that last word.]

Yeah, no kidding. We might need to wait it out to confirm the theory, though. I don't even know what we'd do with it, other than make sure the assholes in charge don't overhear.

[beknightedheroine]

_{[She gives an overly serious nod.]}

I get it. If we're too hasty, none of our effort will hold up.

[morituramfides]

[Here he turned his attention back to his laptop.]

It's a good start though. Hopefully we'll have more foundation once we finish and know where to go from there.
