First Wind (video)

[ventoaureo]

[The network is happily greeted by the face of a young man with surprisingly golden hair staring into the screen. It's hard to guess what he's feeling right now, seeing as how he was given the news that his world was destroyed. However, that didn't seem to phase him much, so he's not as shocked as others might be. He's relieved to know that some of his possessions came with him, but...

Enough contemplation, he finally begins to speak up.]

A shame, isn't it? That our worlds are gone? It's nothing that I would have expected in the first place, seeing as it's a bit hard to believe. However, I'll have to put my trust into it that my world is actually gone. Needless to say, I'll be missing my partners over there- unless some of them were brought here, as well. If you've ever heard of a Guido Mista, or Trish Una, please contact me.

...ah, I suppose I should introduce myself in the meantime. My name is Giorno Giovanna, and I greet all of you who were taken to this "Tower". Hopefully time will tell if I enjoy this place, or not. The atmosphere is...undesirable, however. But I'm sure some of you might have gathered that much in time.

...also, if anyone is kind enough to show me around, I would be grateful to you. I need to learn about as much of this place as I can before I can truly adventure and claim certain parts as safe. Also, a bit off the subject, but have any of you heard of what a "Stand" is? If you have, then let me know. I have some...things I'll be needing of you.

havent heard of the stands or your friends but i can give you a list of the safer floors
think my brother has a bigger list and even a map

[ventoaureo]

Ah, a list of the safe floors would be most helpful.
Although it's curious to know how many floors this place has...and which ones would warrant safe travels. Who is your brother, may I ask?

Re: text

[puppy_lancer]

i can tell you that theres more than 100 floors or so
safer ones are 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 25, 38, 78, 81, and
and my brother's name is Diarmuid
he's tall
has black hair and golden eyes

[ventoaureo]

Hm, I'll have to keep those in mind.
But that would mean that monsters are here, correct?
...I don't think I've ever heard of someone like that.
But who are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[puppy_lancer]

it depends on where and when but yep
my name is Lancer

[ventoaureo]

Ah, there's certain guidelines on where they appear? It would be helpful knowing were they are.
It's a pleasure, Lancer.

[puppy_lancer]

on most floors they show up only at night
but on some of the really dangerous ones they're there all the time
and the circus floor doesn't have the same kind of monsters as everywhere else but they have clowns
evil clowns

[ventoaureo]

I would have thought as much...it seems as though one would keep there wits up-
...I'm not sure if I read that correctly, but...a circus floor?
Why would a tower need something like that?

[puppy_lancer]

hell if i know
supposedly because the admins wanted variety in the floors

[ventoaureo]

These admins are quite odd if thinking that people would need to see a circus...considering the evil clowns.
...although it makes me wonder what else they have, as well- adding unto this ridiculousness.

[puppy_lancer]

trust me
odd is a very nice way to put it
also there's floors that look like your outdoors
like a beach or a meadow

[ventoaureo]

I didn't realize the administrators were so thoughtful in this place.
Hm...although I'm sure those floors don't come without a price.
I may have to see these for myself one day.

[puppy_lancer]

we pay our price in blood and tears
they pull experiments and games on us every month
most of them are shitty

[ventoaureo]

I didn't realize the punishments for enjoying our time living once more would entail something like this.
Although, what sort of experiments, may I ask?

[puppy_lancer]

different for each administrator
jason likes to fuck with our bodies and minds
he's the biggest asshole in the tower
we all want to punch him
he's the only one who calls experiments experiments
ruana calls them games
and they're like games only all fucked up
zo and dax before him don't experiment or play games but some accident or another always happens when they're in charge
riki like to play wiht the structure of the tower
we've had jason switch our bodies, contaminate us all with a disease, and turn some of us into drones
riki has made us believe a lot of years passed in the tower
ruana put us all into costumes that crushed us if we didn't get enough candy in october and played a whole bunch of ghost games with us in february
dax had the translation mechanisms go on the fritz
and zo messed up the weather controls

[ventoaureo]

...my my, these administrators do sound like lovely folk.
I wonder if there's been any attempt to actually over throw them...must have ended in failure, I think.
But if the tortures during my stay are just as gruesome...
Hm, I'm not sure how I'd handle that. Not nicely perhaps, but.
So, are those all of the administrators I need to know?
Or are there perhaps more that like to ruin things?

[puppy_lancer]

yeah theres a resistance
but you gotta ask zelda for that

[ventoaureo]

A resistance?
To go against these administrators? ...hm. I'm curious now.

[puppy_lancer]

i dont know much about the details
but apparently its big enough that the admiinistrators sent spies to infiltrate

[ventoaureo]

Ah, spies? It sounds as though this resistance has made a name.
...This Zelda, is she the leader behind this?

[puppy_lancer]

a leader, at least

[ventoaureo]

There's multiple leaders in this resistance?

[puppy_lancer]

i don't know
i'm not technically part of it
not yet

[ventoaureo]

Not yet?
So you are thinking of joining, then?

[puppy_lancer]

of course
i ain't the type to sit around on my ass
