[video]/[text] A warning. (Sept. 2)

[warriorscribe]

*The new floors threw him off for a bit. But this wasn't Meridian, and if Jason was watching over them, who knew what he might try. Forgetting to speak could be a fatal mistake.

So here Enoch is, sitting tall and eyes focused, if worried. He speaks in an even tone, a subtle strength to his voice despite its softness.*

The man among our hosts watching us now hasn't given us much to live on - and I believe he's the sort that wants to see us risk the restaurant's task for it.

*A deep breath.* I urge all of you, don't give in. The food may be tempting, but they'll ask an impossible task of you - I searched the entire tower four times over, never stopping to rest, and could not find what they requested. ...I later learned, after nearly dying, that my kidney had vanished.

*Another pause, and he swallows, trying to push the memory of that sickeningly frantic and frightening search to the back of his mind again. To try and forget how unsettling it was that they could simply alter his body without warning or sign...* The forest has game to hunt; I could teach anyone who is interested.

...Could someone teach me how to create one of those interactive references I've seen here at times? If you do, I'll keep a list of alternatives here as others suggest them.

*A few minutes after the post goes live, a text post is added, with Enoch replying to his own reply to link to the alternatives.*

Someone has told me how to create a link, and the alternatives I haven't already mentioned will be gathered here.

*How many children have they trapped here? Solemn, Enoch nods.*

They tell you what your payment is after you eat. If I had known how difficult the task was...

Ohhhhhhhhh...

That's... that's HORRIBLE! That's not good at all! That's not FAIR!

[She looks as though she's going to work herself up into a fair bit of a panic... but she knocks herself lightly on the head, forces a serious look on her face, and leans back in.]

So... so you're okay now, right?

I agree, it isn't.

*He leans forward in concern as the girl seems to start to panic, thinking to try to comfort her, but she pulls herself together in fairly short order. All the same, though, when he speaks again, his tone is even and soft.*

Yes, I'll be all right. *He decides not to tell her he thinks dying may have given that kidney back. Best not to teach children death was worthless. If the tower wouldn't do that without his help already.*

I had friends who healed me, everything's fine now. But I hope my example prevents others from...perhaps not being so lucky.

Good! That's really good! Sonata doesn't want anyone here feeling bad!

[She punctuates that statement with a very firm nod.]

It's a good warning! Sonata wouldn't have known at ALL! So thank you! Thank you, mister... uh...

[Drat. She hadn't caught his name.]

[Video] It's okay! I'm pretty slow, myself

*Why does such a cute kid have to be stuck in a place like this? He won't show his distress, of course, for her sake. Or at least, he'll show as little of it as he can.*

My name is Enoch. It's nice to meet you, Sonata.

[littlesound]

Enoch? [She laughs and flashes a wide smile. What a strange name! But it's a strange place, right?]

Nice to meet you, too! Aah... so we have to eat yucky food all month, huh...?

*Even with the subject matter, he can't help but give a smile now. The girl's cheer is infectious.*

I'm afraid so, but I could gather berries for you if you want.

[littlesound]

Berries! There's berries? Where, where? And what kind of berries?

[She still has a lot to learn about this place, it seems.]

[warriorscribe]

There's a floating island with a forest on the outside of the tower. The berries I normally eat are...I believe I read they're called blackberries.
