One of the floors is a forest. 

[For most this is a rather insignificant statement, but for someone who has never seen trees outside parks and plastic containers this is new. He is use to steel beams holding up tons concrete, not greenery or forest creatures strolling about. Old media did not prepare him for what real nature is like.

Not at all.

He does not know what to make of this discovery. It brings him no closer to finding a way out, but it is not something he can brush off as nothing. Especially seeing how the room does not meet the same measurements as the other rooms he has seen. He believes there is some explaining needing to be done because physics do not work that way.]

How in the hell does that even work?

Dunno. Seems straight out of Harry Potter to me, like the tents at the Quidditch World Cup.

Um, presuming you know Harry Potter, which if you don't you should just ignore that. I just mean, it seems fictional, doesn't it? I'm not really sure where they got the power to accomplish all this. It's astronomical.

There are many things that do not make sense here though I would be VERY weary of stepping past the doorway there. Earlier on in my stay I got lost thanks to some er, interesting creatures.

[entropied]

0ut 0f every n0nsensical thing here that's the 0ne y0u can't handle?

WHO KNOWS!

Magic, probably. Maybe they have a huge materia around here that can fold space.

[strayer]

Something is out there. Not very big, but I've seen enough to know size doesn't matter. Didn't bother going in, had no reason to.

[It is still weird seeing something on that scale when you have only heard of it.]

[strayer]

Don't know him or what quidditch is. Sports aren't important were I'm from anyways.

[He is fairly sure that is a sport. It has cup in the name, that is a sport's thing right?]

[strayer]

Magic? Not buying into mystic bullshit. Besides doesn't matter how, didn't look as if there was a way out on the floor anyhow.

[strayer]

Didn't have forest where I'm from and the rest of the floors are just a hoaxes.

[strayer]

Don't see how. Just trees and animals. Didn't have what I was looking for either.

[strayer]

What the hell does that even mean?

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno is slightly confused by this. He assumed magic was a constant throughout the multiverse.]

From what I hear, there's no way out at all.

[strayer]

[The only thing in Heine's universe was science, nothing more.]

From people who haven't looked hard enough. I'm not giving up because someone else did.

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno is going to chalk that one down to the "Magic is not actually Magic" attitude some people have (on Gaia)]

Heh, sounds like you and I are on the same mission.

[strayer]

Goes without saying that I've found no way out yet. No one knows how either, or is willing to tell.

[midgarhorizon]

If these people here can fold space, it's not a wonder why nobody has found a way out yet. I get the feeling half the people here is in on something.

[amant]

When you have to fear some bastardized rabbit- yes. There is no reason to pay that place a visit unless your life depends on it. And then, well, it is only death. You wake up the next morning in your bed.

[Not always a perk, really.]

[restitchtime]

Probably the same way any other forest works. Interwoven ecosystems, photosynthesis, that kind of shit. I'd think it was pretty obvious.

[orphans]

Not magic, wwhatevver it is they're telling you.

[strayer]

Looks must be deceiving. That the only floor that's messed up?

[Dying and coming back still hurts. A lot.]

[strayer]

Space can't be folded, has to be an illusion or some other crafty work. To be as relaxed about it as they are, I have a feeling that it's a means to calm everyone else into falling into place. People lose their shit usually when they wake up somewhere different.

[strayer]

Then how is in the damn building if it's so obvious?

[strayer]

Course it's not. No such thing.

[orphans]

[he's actually... mildly surprised he didn't have to go on a long tangent, refuting that.]

Good.
