-(Uh)

-(Of+en)

[Conveniently, Equius can use text so that no one can see him FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT even as he types. Unfortunately, he can't hide it from the real world, so anyone walking through the dormitory hallways can witness one very, very jumpy troll clattering into the terminal.]

Specifics. What thing?

[mutab1e]

-(+he +hing wi+h)
-(Uh)
-(Wi+h +he s+uffed beas+s)
-(Does +ha+ happen of+en)

[Because if it does, he's going to have to find a way to get out of here, NOW.]

[strayer]

[This is a first for him to hear about bears being a new arrival himself and he is already concerned with the mental state of the people roaming the tower after hearing some things.]

Stuffed bears? 
Worried over bears and not being taken?
Get your priorities straight first.

[mutab1e]

-(No)
-(No you don+ unders+and)
-(+hey were moving crea+ures)
-(+ha+ ki11ed every+hing +hey saw)

[strayer]

Sounds like a cheap horror flick.
Either you're delusional or this place has some fucked up idea of treating guest.
Has anyone tried getting out of this place?

[mutab1e]

-(Unfor+una+e1y it isn+)
-(And I don+ know)
-(Bu+ Im sure i+ has been a++emp+ed)
-(Some+ime)

[strayer]

I'm not for being holed up.
Not enough information given.
What is this place?

[mutab1e]

-(I don+ know, s+op asking me!)

[You know, you're really not doing great things for his blood pressure, Heine. Please don't stop.]

[strayer]

Then tell me someone who would know.

[He is known to do such things, especially raising blood pressure.]

[mutab1e]

-(I don+ know anyone who would know)
-(If I did I wou1d have go++en +he informa+ion from +hem)
-(And wou1d have given i+ +o you)
-(Bu+ I dont know any+hing abou+ +his +ower in +he firs+ p1ace)
-(So I can+ +e11 you any+hing)

[babble babble babble.]

[strayer]

Who has been here longest then?
They should know something.

[There is too much reading going on and typing is hard to do.]

[mutab1e]

-(I +o1d you I don+ know)
-(Uh)
-(You shou1d ask someone e1se)
-(I haven+ been here very 1ong)
-(I can+ be of much he1p)

[strayer]

Yea.
I figured as much.
You got a name?

[mutab1e]

-(Yes of course)
-(I+s Equius Zahhak)

[strayer]

Equius then.
Name's Heine and new to this tower of horrors I'm hearing about.

-(You did make i+ qui+e c1ear +ha+ you don+ know wha+s going on)

[strayer]

They didn't seem to know much either.
Far too suspicious all of it.
How long have you been here?

[mutab1e]

-(Uh)
-(Abou+ two perigees)
-(I don+ know your human +imekeeping)

[strayer]

Then what are you?
Genetic hybrid?

[mutab1e]

-(No)
-(Im a +ro11)

[strayer]

Never heard of them.
So not human, nothing new about that.
Seen plenty, still human looking generally.

[mutab1e]

-(I suppose so)
-(We don+ 1ook +ha+ differen+)
-(+hough defini+e1y dis+inguishab1e be+ween one and +he o+her)

[strayer]

Only seen two people.
Some kid and a scuba suit.
