[ At first, it's a bit difficult to tell just what's on the screen. Some kind of flower? But that only lasts for a second, and then as the user of the terminal pulls back, it becomes clear that it was her eye on the screen. ]

Well met, everyone! I hope you are all well on this day. My name is Nia Teppelin, and I fondly greet everyone here.

[ She gives a little bow to the camera. ]

However, I have a serious and heartfelt question for you! There is a valiant young man named Simon who is his own, but in addition to that he is meant to be mine soon, and I cannot find him. He is very special and I'm certain you will know him when you see him, so please return him to me if he is found. This is important, people of the Tower, so it would mean very much to me if you helped me.

[ She bows again, more deeply. ]

Thank you very much. Please tell me who you are if you find Simon, so that I may cook for you a fine meal as a reward.

If he's here, he'll probably just respond to this himself, you know.

But I guess I can keep an eye out anyway.

So what kinda meal are we talking about here?

If he's here, there is no question. He will find me soon. But I hope that it will be sooner, and so I have made this post.

There are different kinds of meals? Mine are always simply, "My very best."

[prayed]

And if he's not?

Your very best, huh. That's pretty vague. You don't have any special dish or favorite kind of meal or whatever?

[transcends]

If he's not, I will wait, and someday I will meet him. I can be patient.

My favorite kind of meal is one that is enjoyed! But I wouldn't limit myself to just one sort that I love.

[prayed]

Should you really be approaching this with such a passive attitude? You oughta be fighting to get back to him.

[Not that that's actually worked for anyone else, but of course she's not thinking about that.]

Good answer.

[transcends]

There's no need to fight. Are you an enemy to be fought? I would rather have friends to help me.

[prayed]

Depends on who's asking.

[transcends]

In that case...

It is I, Nia, who is asking. Will you be friend or foe?

[prayed]

If you're not rooting for the admins and are smart enough to think to try and out of this place, then our interests might coincide.

So as long as you're not doing something stupid like sucking up to your kidnappers I have no reason to fight you. I've got bigger fish to fry here, you know.
