[He's been fiddling around with the computer since his arrival, but not really tried sending out a video with it. More just figuring out what it does in general, the basic directions given for it does help greatly.

But he's noticed a few changes he wished to speak about, if not to the ones who'd brought them here. They may not reply back to him, but it wouldn't hurt to try to communicate with them. As much as people told him it wasn't worth the effort.]

I've notice some things have changed around here... seemingly while we slept. Quick work I have to say. [He'd love to know how they'd done it, but that's a whole other thing for another time.]

I'd like to thank you for making the tower more accessible to those in my situation, it will make being here much easier in the long run. If there is a long run to be had. I noticed an elevator as well, but I've yet to try it.

... I would like to speak with you if I could, if not in person over these computers. People here want more than the note you've given us. You must know this. If you've saved us as you say then why not show yourselves? Why not speak with us and let us thank you properly. [He feels this is futile, but NOT trying would be worse.]

Hiding and giving us nothing to go on besides that our worlds are destroyed... it's not enough. You say you saved our lives, but what proof is there if you can't give us any? [And he'll stare tight lipped at the computer screen, not sure what else to say. He could go in circles all day so he'll sigh and turn the feed off.]

You'll find, if you speak to those who have resided in this tower since we began our project, that we did provide a question and answer session. There simply hasn't been enough time for a new one lately.

[groovy_mutation]

[He's shocked to get a reply, from who he assumes is one of the towers... owners?]

Did you? I've spoken around but no one mentioned this... then I'll retract what I said before, but for those who weren't there when you had this session are there any logs of this? So they could look them over and not repeat the same mistake as myself?

And what do you mean by 'project' exactly? [Seemed a odd choice of words for a place one would consider a sanctuary. Then again they were all wearing collars.]

[animusnpcs]

Our rescue project, of course! I'll see what I can do about compiling a transcript of the questions asked.

[groovy_mutation]

Thank you, that is very kind.

I suppose I shouldn't bombard you with questions if you're going to do that for me, but I must ask, as I'm sure you've gotten this before but-- [Why isn't everyone I know here? Why weren't they all saved?]

You must have amazing technology to do this, to accomplish what you have. To travel to worlds and rescue us from um... whatever happened. But it seems that people arrive at different times, are you continuously going to these worlds and finding survivors? [If so, why didn't Erik know anything about the world being destroyed since he was brought here at a later time than him. Why hadn't he himself known? There were clearly people here from Earth that had been here longer than him. It didn't make sense.]

[animusnpcs]

I'm afraid that isn't my department, but yes, we do look for survivors in as many time periods as possible. Once we find a destroyed world, we try to pull from earlier in the timeline, so as to save more people.

It's strange how they work. Although I am rather pleased they finally have a workshop floor.

It's good to see that the tower made the changes only shortly after your arrival too, it's much more convenient now, no? I tried the elevator, it only goes to the main floors, our dorms and the cafeteria.

[Vietnam found his approach interesting, and so she will watch this carefully.]

[groovy_mutation]

It seems there are multiple changes, I will have to take a look around.

What do you plan on doing in the workshop?

[Oh trust him, he's pleased that he hasn't been here that long before the changes were made. He didn't like asking for help to get around.]

Very convenient, yes. Well at least we won't have to trek the entire tower to eat now, a small blessing.

[dawnlotus.livejournal.com]

Be careful with some of these floors, they seem to be a lot more sinister than the older ones.

Ah, perhaps make new sets of clothes. I'm sure at least a few of us wouldn't mind some new ones? Also, perhaps finish this off. [She lifts up what looks like a long oar head.] This was all I was given of my oar.

Aha, that's good. It's very generous of them, every morning is hell.

[groovy_mutation]

Sinister how?

If you don't mind my asking, what good will an oar do here?

[And he'll nod, chuckling a bit.]

That is one way to put it. Breakfast will be much more pleasant now I think.

[dawnlotus.livejournal.com]

One room looked like it came straight out of a horror movie. Bloody hand prints all over the walls, and screaming. Another room, beyond the stairs there seems to be nothing.

Ah yes. [She turns the oar head in her hands] If kept for rowing, it would be rowing useless. But I suppose it can be used as a very large tool instead. [Or a weapon, but she's not going to say that out loud (yet)]

Thankfully, I do some work in the cafeteria. Not a lot of morning people here.

[token_vengeance]

Charles.

[It's the 'I don't think this was wise' tone]

[groovy_mutation]

Yes?

[He hears your tone but ignores it sir.]

[token_vengeance]

All you are going to get are more lies.

[groovy_mutation]

Lies or not, not trying to speak with them would be foolish, Erik.

I want to hear what they have to say if they will answer me.

We could possibly learn something of it.

[token_vengeance]

See if you can get in their heads.

[Offense? Yes. Sitting idly by is not an option.]

It's understandable that they would not choose to present themselves. We have been taken without warning and I believe a few of the inhabitants would choose to become hostile.

[groovy_mutation]

[Odd looking girl, but then again he'd met a big muscled yellow mutant so... this wasn't so bad.]

Well we do have the means to speak over these computers, they could on occasion speak to us through them, yes? They don't have to necessarily show themselves in person.

Though it would be nice to speak to them that way.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

There are a few here who are very computer capable and may be able to trace the signal. It may still be dangerous for them. At the same time, their appearance may prove dangerous for us as well.

Video

[groovy_mutation]

But would they allow that to happen on their own computers? You would think they would have precautions for such a thing.

Then again I don't know much about computers myself, this is still rather new to me.

Video

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Yes that is true, there are probably many precautions in place. You seem human, is there a reason you are not proficient in computers? All of the other humans I have come into contact with are very good with them.

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

... No, it certainly isn't enough. And there are things in this tower that aren't safe OR humane.

[ He saw the faces in that television. The bloody floor, as well. ]

But good luck with trying to reason with them.

[groovy_mutation]

I think being collared is enough to be worried in the first place. Let alone the other things in the tower.

[He hadn't seen that yet, he was going to just love that. Except not.]

I don't know if it's about reasoning right now, I just want to figure out what it is going on. Though from what they've told me so far, it seems they've held some sort of question and answer panel before?

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

That must have been before I arrived, then.

[ To say nothing of what is in Minato's head, dear Charles. You will love THAT, too.

The blue-haired teen looks thoughtful. ]

... It's the things in the tower and the experiments I'm more concerned about. ... Do you need help?

[ He HAD said the tower had been made more 'accessible'. ... Probably in a wheelchair? Although this is more a general offer than anything. ]

[groovy_mutation]

So you don't have a collar then?

[Or maybe he's misunderstanding him.]

Experiments? I hadn't heard of these. What sort of experiments? ... do you mean they experiment on us? [Thankfully the accessible thing made it so he no longer had to rely on others to get around. He was very pleased at this.]

Ah, for now I think I'm doing well, thank you.

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

... No, I do--it's yellow. But I hadn't heard of them doing a question or answer session.

[ A small nod. ]

Not long ago there were leashes attached between those of us stuck here, from the collars. If I had to guess, I would say that our captors are closer to scientists than rescuers.
