[Well hey it's a bit soon for him to be making another post but he has a good reason for this!! Look he's even going to skip over the formalities this time and get straight to the point to show how serious this is.]

To add onto what Sayaka said, I'm here to send out a warning to be alert as well.

[He crosses his arms]

A few days ago... something happened to me. I was in the cafeteria, and shortly after taking a sip from my drink, I was immediately hit with pain throughout my body. I tried to go to the infirmary... but for some reason I started loosing control of myself and I... [He bites his lip and stays silent for a moment.]

I almost killed someone. [He drops his gaze away from the screen, but continues talking.]

I can't say why that happened, but I can say for sure that it wasn't anything normal. I would never raise a hand to another person, let alone try to kill them.

[He clears his throat and looks back to the screen, a very stern expression set upon his face.]

So be on the look out for things like this happening, keep your guards up, and be careful.

I suppose I am. I arrived... a little more than a week ago.

I see... [He crosses his arms] I'll explain, then.

Starting with the experiment aforementioned, shortly after I arrived here about five months ago, I was thrown into something the administrators called a "stress test". It was some kind of labyrinth, and there were other people thrown into it as well. We were all stationed at different places, and we were given a weapon if we didn't have one. They told us we had to kill one another if we happened to run into each other, it treated like a battle royale. To make matters worse, they flooded the maze one of the days, and sent monsters in to kill us another... and at the last day, they dropped the walls so the ones who were remaining would battle it out. That's when I first died, during the final battle.

About the Tower collapsing... A few weeks ago, around the middle of the month, a giant whale of some sort had crashed into the Tower. It rammed against the side hard enough to make the top floors break and we were all evacuated to the bottom floors. However, one of my friends was still upstairs, so I left to save her and fortunately I was able to get her to the stairs right before the ceiling above us collapsed. Unfortunately, I didn't make it myself which made that death number two. Sometime while I was out of commission, the whale left and the tower was flooded with monsters... but as you can see it's all been fixed pretty nicely.

[Rolo listens to all that silently, without expression.]

Who are these administrators? What other experiments have they conducted?

[Then his eyes widened in surprise.]

A... w-whale? Are we... underwater?
