1st revelation [video]

[heather_mason]

[Heather is unfamiliar with the network and the image is shaky at first as she fumbles with the device. After a few seconds the picture settles down and reveals the girl's face, which displays an indifferent expression. There is quite a bit of confusion hiding behind the serene look that Heather is determined to keep to herself.]

Uh, hey. Can somebody tell me exactly what's going on here? All I know is that somebody brought me here and they're saying the world got blown up or something.

So what? We're just stuck here like this or... what's goin' on here?

[She looks uneasily down at the ground before returning her gaze to the screen]

So if anybody can tell me anything... yeah. That'd be awesome.

[The tower seems like it's probably a bit like Silent Hill. She figures it won't be too hard to get used to it.]

So it's like, alive, kinda? What kind of dangers?

[snowdriftassassin]

Yeah, ya can be sayin' dat.

S'far as wat dangers, der be monstah's of all kinds. Some pretty easy ta be dealin' wit... some, not so much. Some are better seen as a chance ta see how fast ya can be runnin' for yer life.

Der's also lots'a traps mon. An' some floors change in difficulty dependin' on what time 'a da day it be.

Sum can be completely harmless during da day an' den completely fatal durin' da nite.

It takes time ta git used ta it, but it be possible.

[heather_mason]

[Heather makes a face. It sounds like some stupid video game and not something anyone should actually have to deal with.]

So, how do I know which floors are too dangerous?

[snowdriftassassin]

Well, most'a dem have da potential to be dangerous if the Administrators have anyting ta say 'bout it.

But generally, [Xue goes into length as to which floors are relatively safe and which floors have definite dangers as well as floors that are more dangerous depending on what time of the day it is.]

Also, as a general rule, bein' out at night has risks too. Since dem monstah's are more active den.

[heather_mason]

[Heather nods periodically to show that she's listening. This all seems so complicated compared to her black and white self-made rules in Silent Hill: monsters are all bad and dangerous, and trust no one. This is a lot more to take in.]

Thanks for the help, uh... What's your name?

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue did her best to make it easy to understand. She knew it could be a bit of a doozy, hell sometimes she wondered just how much there was unknown in the damned place.]

Anytime mon, I try my best ta be helpin' denizens.

Name's Xue'Kol. Nice ta meet ya... well barrin' da circumstances of course.

[heather_mason]

[Heather's smile is a bit strained but she is very grateful for the help.]

Thanks then, um... thanks.

[She knows she'll completely murder the name if she tries to say it so she doesn't bother.]

((ooc: how do you pronounce that name, anyway? I don't think I'd be able to say it right either :P))

[snowdriftassassin]

[Xue chuckled, it wouldn't have been the first and it won't be the last person she'd meet that would avoid using her full name.]

Jus' be callin' me Xue. [She smiled with a playful wink.]


((ooc: It's okay! It's Chu--ee - cohl. I like saying it as much as possible cause I like the phonetics XD))

[heather_mason]

[That sounds a lot easier.]

Okay. Xue. I think I could deal with that.

((ooc: Wow that's not what I would've thought! I like it though! <3))

[snowyvalemaiden]

[Xue chuckles and nods.]

Aight mon, if there's anyting else I can be helpin' ya wit. Jus' be lettin' Xue know kay?

I don' be mindin' helpin' out yanno?



((OOC aww thanks! <3))

[heather_mason]

[It's comforting to know there's someone here who's willing to help her out and she smiles honestly at her.]

Thanks. I will.
