Fourth Case [Anonymous Text - Backdated to 4th]

[frilliance]

There is an issue that has been in my mind for quite a few months, people of Animus.

As you all know, our worlds were somehow destroyed and, somehow, we were ‘saved’ by our souls being brought here and inserted into hideous wireframe constructs. Supposedly, we are still alive, despite the fact that we were ripped from our own bodies. ‘Death’, in a matter of speaking, is not permanent – we are just give a new ‘body’ to inhabit. However, in less than a year, when the Glamour system runs out, we will truly ‘die’ and not come back.

Some of us, however, are working to restore our worlds and bring us back there. The administrators claim to be doing that themselves. Whether or not they truly mean to do that, I cannot tell.

Would you believe that such a feat is truly possible, however, considering our own conditions and that of our worlds? Do you think that, somehow, the administrators can bring our worlds back so that we can return home? Or do you believe that we can find a way ourselves and stop the administrators before our time runs out next year?

Suffice to say, I am very doubtful of this idea, considering its sheer absurdity. However, as this entire tower is full of things that completely contradict proper logic, I am not sure if I can completely disregard it.

I don't see why not. I mean...why would the administrators bring us here in the first place?

[Vague, optimistic logic is vague.]

On the other hand, it is hard not to doubt whether or not that is their true intentions. Especially when we talk of the cannibal and the mad mutant scientist.

...I guess you mean Ruana and Jason. I see what you mean--they aren't the nicest people I've met. But if it was always Ruana's intent to just eat souls from dead worlds, why not just use our souls first? Why bring us here at all? And if Jason doesn't want us to succeed, why does he keep reviving us when we die? That's what he does, right?

You're absolutely right--but I can't shake the idea that they need us for something.

That, we can both agree on. There would be little point in keeping us alive if we are all going to die in less than a year, anyway.

...In that case, I guess the question is, what do they need us for? What else is there, except to find a way to bring our worlds back?
