video/voice- [The cafeteria]

Lavender meatballs and lavender sauce; sunflower pasta salad; squash blossom soup...

[He frowned as he repeats the words from this month's menu. Why the damn flower theme? Do people actually eat this? Thorin dispised the menu. Flowers were too elvish for his liking.]

Is anyone actually eating this? Nay, I would rather kill a deer on Floor Thirty Two than ruin my palette with this....food. Flowers are for gardens, not for eating. Whoever thought of this idea is obviously [an elf.] strange. What if you do not like flowers? Do we still have to eat this? Surely, a meat stew could not go amiss one time?

I kind of like the lavender colors! They look nice, and they don't taste bad.

[Tohko had almost no right to talk about how normal food tasted: it was all sand to her, and violet was just her favorite color.]

As for the flowers, they do say that April showers bring May flowers. Perhaps that's why the menu has so many flowers and vegetables.

[Yes, but he HATES flowers. Ew, elves.]

I care not for what poetry this place offers. [Also, poetry? Elves too.]

[..Not that Tohko really knows, sadly.]

..It's not really a poem..it's more like a rhyme. But why don't you like it? At least everything is edible for once!

Whatever it is, I care not for it. [Dwarves don't do rhymes, they do battle songs and manly stuff.]

I do not favour rhymes of such a nature. I am a dwarf. We sing around roaring fires and tell tales of old.

I see..that would fit with you, I suppose. However, it's best to keep these small rhymes and stories about the seasons in mind..sometimes they help you in the Tower.

Then, I shall keep this as worthy advice. [He failed to see how rhymes and poems would help him escape this hell hole. Still, she seemed to be adamant in her words.]

Do you enjoy eating flowers then?

Good, I'm glad to hear that. [He may fail to see it, but to Tohko, knowledge of poems and holidays had helped her see what might be coming sometimes.]

..Well, I do admit that there could be better things to eat, but compared to some of the other things here, and the nutrition bars, this isn't bad!

I did not taste those as I had no intention of trying them. Hunting and gathering is something I tend to favour; as it is the way of my people.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It's probably the way for a lot of people and their families here. Just be careful..I've heard that the animals here can be dangerous sometimes. If you want my help, you just have to ask.

I am skilled in the art of defending myself against such beasts. A few dangerous animals will not cause any harm to me. [Yeah, he was pretty sure of himself there.]

As for your offer of help, I thank you.

Maybe not..but you never know when one might sneak up on you and manage to bite you.

And you're welcome! I'm always happy to help out!

I am always alert. [He was a dwarf warrior. Nothing could get him. Don't say anything about Wargs, ok?]

You can't always be on alert. Everyone makes mistakes now and then, even the greatest of heroes. That applies to you too.

Perhaps. I am always alert and ready for any danger, which might show itself here.

Really? Are you even prepared for having your free will stolen away?

[You seem a tad too overconfident, which is annoying her.]

Nay, I hope that it will not come to that. [He has his reasons.]

Most people in this place don't wish for it to happen either..but it does, sadly.

Is it because the tower itself enjoys placing evil upon it's inhabitants?

The Tower isn't sentient, so it can't do anything like that. However, the Administrators do enjoy messing with us..Ruana even views her games as fun.

The games are not fun, but evil. Has anyone ever challenged this Ruana?

That's how we see them..but Ruana sees it in a different light. Dax tried to challenge her for our sake..but he was killed, and Ruana ate him.

Ruana ate him? What kind of savage beast is this Ruana? Has anyone ever seen her?

All I know is that she's not human. We have seen her before on the network, and while she appears human, she's not.

If she is not human, that what creature is she? [Thorin wanted nothing more than to kill Ruana where she stood. He would use his sword to cleave her head from her shoulders.]

[Not yet, Thorin. First they had to find out everything Ruana knew so that they wouldn't miss something by killing her.]

I imagine that she's some sort of Eldritch Abomination, but to be honest, I don't really know specifically what she is.
