I'm going to skip the bullshit theatrics over being forcibly removed from my universe and save everybody time, since obviously the premise here is a crock of shit. We did just fine getting out of a wrecked world once, don't need help doing it a second time. The slave collars aren't exactly inspiring any confidence, either.

What I'd like instead is to find out if there's anybody halfway between competent and sane who can tell me what you've tried smashing that wouldn't break. I'm perfectly fine with wrecking everything in this goddamn tower but I'd like to do it in as productive a manner as I can. Not to mention I don't exactly relish having to scroll backwards through what looks like a network of complete idiocy just to find out.

And I know being in some brave new world means I ought to start shrieking for the dumbasses I was with before to see if they're here, but honestly just making this post should be enough to call them out of the woodwork to start giggling like fiends all over it.

But who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and all the morons will be distracted by something shiny for the moments it takes me to get some answers. I'm still stupid enough to hope.

[and wordlessly he just turns the video on.]

[there's a solid ten minute delay in her response. like fuck she's turning the video on in kind, boy.]

God, you must have fucked your universe up but good.

[tortileghostwriter]

[it's fine, he just switches his off.]

evidently so

[reversed sentiment while appearing to agree with her? YEP.]

[restitchtime]

Ugh, jesus fuck. It's like the universe decided that I needed the mother of all headaches and combined the two most insufferable assholes I know into one being.

Tell me, oh unholy abomination, does it get any worse than this or can I proceed to cursing out my existence now?

[tortileghostwriter]

you may very well proceed towards the latter option if you like
after all it appears youre part of whats at least the third go

[GUESS WHO WON'T ELABORATE IF HE PRESSES THE SUBJECT?]

[restitchtime]

That better not be your way of saying that there's two other iterations of me running around here, because if it is I'm going to reenact my past and break your nose.

[tortileghostwriter]

fear not its nothing so immediate or pressing

[it is, however, about 50x worse if he's right.]

[restitchtime]

Because far-off and looming makes me feel so much better. How did you know?

[tortileghostwriter]

yes well would you look at the time
must dash

[restitchtime]

I don't think so. You book it now without giving me any information on this shithole and I guarantee you'll turn the corner and meet a fist.

[tortileghostwriter]

well when you put it so persuasively how can i refuse

weve been fed a line of obvious bullshit about the destruction of our worlds as im sure you know
the towers floors are riddled with all manner of hidden traps and hazards from what ive been told by other residents

best not to sleep away from your assigned room for too many nights in a row either

[restitchtime]

The more I hear about this dump the more I'm starting to convince myself that I tripped and landed in some tryhard's attempt at a splatter horror flick. Christ.

What happens if we decide to bum it somewhere else? A tentacle monster comes and gnaws off a body part?

[tortileghostwriter]

the whole sordid affair of bullshit certainly has that touch of z grade cinema to it yes

close but not in the way you might think
the tower apparently enjoys driving those unlucky guests entirely mad

[restitchtime]

Great. If the entire tower is as useful as a typical cast in one of those films I'm going to be seriously pissed. Getting out of here's going to be enough of a headache without having to do it all by myself.

Just perfect. A supernatural prison with a hard-on for keeping to designated lists. Just where I always wanted to end up!

[tortileghostwriter]

have fun with that
it doesnt seem to be a particularly viable course of action so far

how fortunate for you then
we are all equally jubilant in the sense where jubilation is a codeword for rapidly mounting annoyance and anger

[restitchtime]

Then maybe nobody's found the right spot to fuck up. I'll throw my own little destruction party just to spite everyone else if I have to.

Good to know. Now as soon as my decoder ring comes in the mail I can join the Tower Club and speak in unnecessarily obtuse codes. This really is a dream come true.

[tortileghostwriter]

regardless of my opinion on whether or not such a thing would work it sounds as if its worth a try
i suppose ill help in such an event after all i hardly have fuckall else to do thats worth doing

glad to be of service in that case

[restitchtime]

Like I'd need your help. I'd have half this shithole trashed before you could even realize what's going on, so save yourself the trouble and just stay in your room counting ceiling cracks or whatever displaced assholes do.
