Video

[groovy_mutation]

[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.]

Comments

[groovy_mutation]

[He'd meant to do just that, hopefully without being noticed. So far he'd had many notice his presence in their minds, it was a but unsettling for him. But that Erik suggested it... it surprised him to say the least.]

And here I have to wonder if you can read my mind.

[token_vengeance]

[and there is a sad smirk, Charles.]

I know you, Charles.

[We're brothers, you and I...]

[groovy_mutation]

[D-Don't start that, Erik. But he'll smile back in turn, sadness and all.]

So you do.

[And he'll clear his throat.]

I am doing everything I can to find out what I can. I just hope they can't sense me in their heads. Then we might have a problem.

[token_vengeance]

I just need a hint.

[Meaning if they sense you, and they hurt you, Charles--Erik will go after them and ruin them.]

[groovy_mutation]

[And a little bit later he'll reply back. Sounding annoyed, if vaguely.]

There's... there is something blocking their minds from me. [Like Erik's helmet, but he didn't want to say that. It was frustrating either way.]

[token_vengeance]

Mirrored room?

[Erik doesn't like the sound of that.]

[groovy_mutation]

I can't tell. Only that I can enter their mind but not access anything from it. Feel or see anything.

Though he did say he was 'aware' of those brought to the tower. They probably have knowledge of my powers and are taking precautions.

[token_vengeance]

[He doesn't like the sound of that.]

What else did they say?

[Erik is going to start planning something rash, Charles.]

[groovy_mutation]

There apparently was a question and answer session before our time here, he said he'll acquire a transcript for me. Besides that it seems as though they rescue people not from when our worlds are destroyed, if one believes that, but times before.

It could explain why we don't agree on how long it's been. [Though he's sure Erik will take all of this with a grain of salt. Not a believe a word that is.]

I've not gotten much else out of him, besides that his name is Dax and there is another named Jason. Jason seems to handle more of the technical things, Dax is one behind the scenes.

[Erik doing something rash? This is new.]

[token_vengeance]

So Jason is the one we most likely need to get to.

[Erik wants to understand the technology first. He isn't one for a plan of attack, most of the time.

But he is starting to realize that maybe in this situation? A plan is for the best.]

[groovy_mutation]

We mustn't jump to conclusions, but it would seem that if we want more answers, finding this Jason would be the next step.

[His tone is careful, yet has a slight tinge of warning. To be careful, to not dive full force into whatever Erik might be thinking of doing. Running in head first, most likely.]

[token_vengeance]

It isn't jumping to conclusions. It's going with your gut.

[groovy_mutation]

Erik...

[token_vengeance]

I'm not going to allow myself to be collared like some dog, color coded and waiting for my turn at slaughter.

[He isn't doing it again. Charles, you have to understand his agitation. The colors, the set schedule, the food, the confines. It reminds him too much of the Hell he lived through as a child.]

[groovy_mutation]

I understand your frustration, but we cannot just rip this place apart. We don't know what we're up against, nor do we know what is beyond this Tower.

We'll figure out what is going on here, we will get out, Erik.

[token_vengeance]

Don't tell me what I can and can not do, Charles.

[His tone is edgy; he doesn't want to hear about calming down. He doesn't care. Acting out right now is the best option.]

[groovy_mutation]

[He's quiet a moment not wanting to snap back but the tone is still there.]

I already know telling you to do anything is I'll advisable.

[You know the whole beach thing.]

Advice, my friend, I just say it as advice.

[token_vengeance]

And who said I wanted it?

[But he does, Charles. He’s just been pulled too thin. Forgive him.]

[groovy_mutation]

You didn't, but the does not mean I won't give it.

[He will. He understands, Erik. Things are not cool right now, he knows this.]

[token_vengeance]

That's your problem.

You never know when to shut up.

[groovy_mutation]

[And he actually looks slightly amused.]

A flaw I will have to work on, my friend.

[token_vengeance]

Oh an acknowledgement? I'm impressed, Charles.

[groovy_mutation]

Perhaps. Consider this me taking your words into consideration.

[token_vengeance]

That's a start, then.

[groovy_mutation]

I wish you could offer me the same. If but a little.

[Foot. Meet mouth.]
