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.

never said i was on edge. it just seems like a question no one would normally ask.

so you're a rumormonger then?

and then the ego started

[nodeviations]

I am in a new place, I wouldn't want to miss a crucial point, now would I? It seems perfectly logical to me.

And, rumormonger...why, that's a negative term, now isn't it? It seems you have had a bad experience with someone close to my profession.

I assure you, if they gave you bad service, then they were probably nowhere near as good as I am. You're in capable hands.

lol sit the fuck down ok

[vvvroom]

wow you're making a lot of assumptions.

like, "rumormonger" isn't a bad term. the others i knew called themselves that all the time, it's like being a fishmonger except with rumors.

anyway, that's not the point. there isn't much to tell about the place, at least nothing that can be confirmed. not from what i've seen, anyway.

he's too busy gloating to sit, sorry

[nodeviations]

Maybe I would not be so inclined to assumptions if your friend up there were not likewise reactive. Honestly, all for a simple question.

I will let the matter lie for now. Nobody is aware how long this structure has existed? Who its first 'rescues' were? I suppose I will have to read back further if I want to get any sort of intel.

[vvvroom]

sorry, he's not a very subtle person...

i haven't been here that long myself and a bunch of things happened when i got here. that'd be useful for me to know too, if i'm being honest.

[nodeviations]

You could say I'm used to his type. Loud, flashy, doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut? I doubt yours talks about family incessantly, however.

[Wait- let's not discuss this. He'll end up emoticon-ing.]

Now you see why I seek this information. It's not simply for my benefit; everyone here could pool together their resources and intel to make things much smoother.

[vvvroom]

yeah that's him all right. he's a good guy, though.

i don't mind helping you out on that kind of stuff. i just want to make sure we sort out the facts from the rumors is all.

[nodeviations]

As is often said.

I said 'rumors' only because including myths and legends would be redundant. Where I come from, rumors often lead to the uncovering of lost locations. Those are my specialty.

[vvvroom]

ooohhh okay, that sounds pretty useful.

i have a much more complicated relationship with them but anyway there's a bunch of different stuff on the different floors, like all kinds of different things.

there's this section where if you have any weird powers, they don't work anymore, so watch it. i think it starts when you're near the area with a broken staircase that you have to jump.

wow way to screw up html thur self

[nodeviations]

[Weird power blocking? Come to think of it- could he even use eres? The thought made him delay his response for some time.]

That is concerning. I suppose I'll have to experiment with this some, to see exactly which floors are like this.

[Assuming the guy wasn't lying- which he doubted, there'd be little point -Jay was so screwed.]
