What do you think about death if it's not permanent? Is it really death?

You have? I'm sorry.

You came back as yourself, just as you were before?

voice

[kindofademon]

Nah, don't be. Occupational hazard.

Came back good as new!

voice

[vermicompost]

Is it? Still, no one should have to go through that. What's your occupation?

So it is true... that's good. [He sounds relieved. He won't really die and lose the War.] I'm glad to hear it.

voice

[kindofademon]

Right now it's tower resident. I can't do much else here, y'know.

voice

[vermicompost]

Oh. Yes, we're all together in that.

But I'm sure there's a way back, a way out. There must be something we can do.

voice

[kindofademon]

Your guess is as good as mine what it is, though.

voice

[vermicompost]

You're right. I don't know yet, but I won't stop trying to find out.

It might help if we work together.

voice

[kindofademon]

Sure, why not? The more the merrier.

[All the better to kill you later.]

voice

[vermicompost]

Right. The more we cooperate, the better our chances.

My name is Kariya.

voice

[kindofademon]

Ryuunosuke, nice to meetcha.

voice --> video

[vermicompost]

It's nice to meet you, too, Ryuunosuke.

[He switches to video.]

What kinds of things have you tried so far, here?

video

[kindofademon]

[Also video! Man, aren't you a sight.]

Were you here for the whale thing?

video

[vermicompost]

[He's not in the best state.]

No, I've only been here for a little more than a month. What whale?

video

[kindofademon]

The space whale that crashed into the tower.

video

[vermicompost]

Space whale-? I hadn't heard of that. [It comes as a surprise to him.] What happened?

You did something, when the whale came?

video

[kindofademon]

It spewed out a lot of monsters into the tower. I tried to investigate, but I got killed that way.

video

[vermicompost]

That's awful. Were you able to find out anything before that happened?

I know it must be dangerous. I know I'll probably die. But I still want to try.

video

[kindofademon]

Not really a lot. I guess I was pretty useless, huh? [He laughs, seemingly not bothered at all.]

video

[vermicompost]

No, I think it's important to try.

It doesn't seem like it's easy to find out anything here.

video

[kindofademon]

It's pretty hard. Even when things happen, it's like everything goes back to normal afterward and you're stuck.

video

[vermicompost]

Yes, now everything's back like it was before what happened with the costumes. I wasn't able to learn anything either.

Do you think this is an experiment? Or a game?

video

[kindofademon]

Depends who you ask. With Jason it's probably a bit of both.

video

[vermicompost]

I see... I can see that.

Jason? That's one of the people who runs this place?

video

[kindofademon]

Yeah. He's the most vicious one of the bunch. There's practically a waiting list if you want to punch him.

video

[vermicompost]

I don't. I want to stop him. There must be something we can do. I won't believe that all these people are helpless here.
