I am a new arrival, however I've read through several pages of the data here. I am attempting to skip many common questions, however I apologize if I require clarification.

My world could not have been destroyed without the proper causation. I will assume nobody has bought this poor-excuse of a cover story, so this leads us move on to more pressing concerns.

What is available here, what do we have access to, and what are we limited on?
What have people tried and failed to do?
Are there any legends or rumors anyone has heard about this place specifically?

I will also assume this is being monitored to some degree, so I would like to criticize our captor's sloppy worksmanship. Honestly, this is amateur kidnapping at best. You should be embarrassed.

Let me assure you, my world could not have been destroyed.

I am familiar with various kinds of illusion magic, as well as mental manipulation. If this place is set up with that in mind, they could conjure up such representations without even having to know a thing about your home world.

Of course, I am assuming you already know that, Mr. Hidari.

I'd like to believe it's all in my head, but spending months in what looked like my world in ruins before being brought back here leaves me open to the possibility that the people in charge aren't as full of crap as I'd like them to be.

I'm not opposed to being wrong on that front, however.

As for your other questions -

There's a large number of floors here. Each house different rooms or environments. I'm still in the process of exploring them. Our needs are taken care of in regards to food, housing, entertainment, and medical care. However, there's a great deal of terrible things here that offset all that. Monsters. Our keepers' "experiments".

I've attempted and failed to escape. Before I could even finish the attempt, I found myself in the ruins of my world. (Or what looked like them.) Myself and others have attempted to infiltrate off-limits areas of the tower, and partially succeeded - only to be intercepted and killed for our trouble.

...that said, death is not permanent here.

[That was...a lot of good information to take in. For now, he'd ignore the matter of worlds destroyed and the like; it was sort of a forced subject for many people, but all in all pointless.]

How much contact has there been with our would-be saviors? I assume they are sitting high in their control rooms, but it's best to make sure. They may well have eyes and ears on everyone, which would explain the futility of escape.

Of course, that would mean they could- and probably will -view this conversation. I'll be interested, though surprised, if they bothered to react however. Cowards rarely do.

No need to be so derisive. We're busy with work most of the time, you know.

HEY.
HEY.

WHAT'S WITH THE CRAPPY FOOD THIS MONTH YOU JERKS?!

HOW'S A GIRL SUPPOSED TO LIVE ON THESE STUPID LITTLE BRICKS AND WATER?!

The nutrition bars provide all of your required nourishment. You don't really need anything else.

WHAT I NEED IS REAL FOOD, NOT THESE THINGS! THEY TASTE TERRIBLE!

You want real food; you don't require it.

Nobody is so busy that they can't come up with a decent cafeteria menu, come on.

I don't buy that "you don't require real food" bullshit. If we didn't require it we wouldn't eat it.

None of you have starved to death yet, have you? You're getting the required nutrition and that's what matters.

Never heard of quality of life, huh?

You are alive.

Forgot the part about being happy there.

That's not my concern.

No, I need it so I can properly cast spells! How am I supposed to defend myself against the nasty little surprises in this hell-tower, or the lunatics here if I don't have enough food in me to fuel my magic, smart guy?!

There's always the restaurant, you know.

THE RESTAURANT ASKS YOU TO GO ON A TREASURE HUNT TO EAT AND IF YOU FAIL IT TAKES SOMETHING FROM YOU! THAT AIN'T A CHOICE!

It certainly is a choice, even if it's one you're not willing to make.

Lina Inverse does not play SCAVENGER HUNTS to get a decent meal!

[He hasn't used a 'real' computer since Conception (that isn't a set of spinning drums), but he has no problem doing so when need be. He reads the few other posts before posting his own.]

But Tokyo was already getting restored by Kagutsuchi before I showed up here. I don't understand.

I can show you the feed of the current status of your world if you want.

You have several professionals types here that you've "rescued", as you no doubt know. Surely if you are all so overworked, then you can kindly request some help.

I have a feeling you won't, though. Strangest thing.

It should be easy enough for you to inquire into how those who arrived before you have behaved in the past when it comes to getting into our things. If you'd really like to help, get a job within the Tower.

I'm beginning to get an idea without their help, incidentally.

Perhaps I will. Since you've been so kind as to reply, do you have any suggestions?

It's not typically my job to do the organization, but since someone happens to be slacking off in that department...

If you want one of the "official" jobs, there are Culinary Assistant, Window Washer, Janitor, Maid, Nurse, Librarian, Security Officer, Pool Cleaner, and Morgue Worker currently. If you'd like something less structured, feel free to talk to the other residents. I believe someone was setting up a night watch, if that interests you.
