[Hey, here's a guy who's never used a computer before. But he's gonna show this weird technology who's boss! (The exclamation points were hard to figure out, but this is clearly urgent, so he needs them.)]

It isn't a very nice place. I am sorry you are here but it is nice to meet you Zidane, I am Taiki... I know a Vivi who is here but I haven't seen him in a long time.

im sorrry youre here too if its that bad

nice to meet you too taiki even though we havent met!! whatre these writing box things called?

was he a little guy with ahat and glowing eyes? was he okay?

They are called computers, you can write on them and you can also speak. [Switches to Video]

Like this... Sorry yes Vivi was okay, he saved me... He has glowing eyes and a big hat and is really nice.

no way really???

hold on hold on letme get this one sec

[He was startled by the sudden switch to video, and it takes a minute for him to reply again as he tries to figure it out. Fortunately, the video function is fairly evident or there are instructions, we'll say.]

Hey, can you see me now? I'm not sure if this is working, here goes. Whoa, these things are kinda cool. It's good to see you!

[Zidane waves, hoping this is actually showing him and he's not just waving to a box.]

That must be the same Vivi. He's a great guy!

I can... it is nice to see you too... [A nervous smile, he was glad that he had helped him learn something even if it was small. He waved back and nodded.]

He is, he is really nice, I hope you manage to find him.... sorry is he your friend from home?

Great. This is lots better. I'd rather talk face to face. [All that typing with one finger (or two to get an exclamation point) was taking him a while.]

I hope so, too. [He nods, emphatically.] He's one of my best friends. We've been through a lot together. I'm glad he was okay when you saw him! I know he can take care of himself, but I can't help being kinda worried.

Have you been here a while, Taiki?

I hope he is still here, I am sure he is okay though... He is really brave and strong... I am sure he will be happy to see you...

[He nods sadly] Eight months I think...

_{[Must resist urge to tell them all about the shift key or to link her old newbie's guide to computers. This person's word choice is like an excitable kid, and there's a chance it really is a kid. ..she's seen enough in the tower.]}

Those bad vibes you got are pretty spot on, at least.

[Once he figured out the shift key worked for the all-important exclamation points and question marks ~~having somehow bypassed the period and comma altogether~~, he considered himself a near-master.]

hey whos this?

its one of the worse places ive been i was in the iifa tree and then i woke up here this isn't part of memoria is it??

im not going to believe the worlds destroyed it was just saved!!

_{[You know what they say about 'easy to learn, impossible to master...']}

The name's Sayaka Miki~! (⌒▽⌒)☆

we just call it 'the tower.' I don't think I've heard of any memoria thing, so it's probably not a part of it.

...trust me, pal. I don't believe my world's dead any more than you do. No matter what they say.

hi sayaka miki!! nice to meet you

memoria is a weird place and you might not know if you ended up there but ill take your word for it

right theres no way id ever believe that i know my friends are okay this has got to be some kind of trick is there any other way to find people here??

..well now I'm curious. What's memoria like?

There's other folks around off of the network, it's just this place is pretty big so sometimes you don't run into anyone. Unless you're in, like. Some weird closed off part.

memoria is made up of all the memories of the planet and everyone who lives there its like another world with all time and space in there together but i dont know exactly how to explain it it didnt work anything like the regular world

sounds like ill have to head out and look for everybody then

...

woah.

I've been in places where things don't work right, but something made from a planet of people's memories? That's wild.

it was! it was like a castle but not like one with this endless staircase we saw our own memories and the planet being born and after that things got weirder

what else can you tell me about this place sayaka? i read the letters but thats it

So it went from pushing the top to smashing the weirdness thermometer. (◎_◎)

The big one is that people can't die here. The next big one is that there's lots of bad critters hiding here and there, and they're everywhere at night.

..another thing is that there's this guy named Jason, and he's a total d
uh
dummie
total dummie

you could say that it set some all time weirdness records!! and i basically went from there right to here too so it looks like im not out of it yet

people cant die at all? really?? why not?

you mean like monsters? ive fought monsters before not that its my favorite thing to do but how bad are they?

whatd this dumb jason guy do??

I don't got a clue why. everyone always comes back in their bed the next day.

How bad the monsters are is uh

it depends? I've gotten my face stomped in by some and there's something apparently immune to magic running around now but there's also dudes that you just stab and you're done with.

i could explain jason but
you can read the archives on here. mess around for a bit and you'll figure it out. not too long ago he made a post about ~the floor being open for questions~ and that was just full of stupid

that sounds both good and bad to me somehow if you know what i mean

i dont use magic anyway but stabbing things im great at generally

oh this writing box thing has other peoples letters in it i get it i'll have to look for it is he in charge here?

right and have you seen a tall guy with silver hair that has feathers in it??/

...heh. （；へ：）

He's one of them. I don't remember how many there are, but it's a low number.

Silver hair I've seen plenty! ..I dunno about the feathers. I'll keep a lookout. Got a name I can tell featherhead's looking for them if I have any luck?

though id rather not run into any monsters honestly but you gotta do what you gotta do hey what do those symbols mean?

how many people did they bring here??

if you met him youd probably know it hes a unique guy his names kuja just tell him zidanes looking for him

Symbols like these~? (｀◇´)

They're supposed to look like expressions on a face, but I've met a lot of people here who just can't see it. It's really common to use them where I'm from.

..I dunno how many, but you can see the names of everyone here on these little plaques by the doors of ever dorm. I guess could just count up those and we'll know. And I can definitely handle keeping an eye out for featherhead Kuja~! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

yeah those! i hardly know how to use this thing so its no surprise i cant do the fancy stuff huh??

whats the triangle supposed to be? annd the dots?

great idea i ought to just check out all the plaques!!! ill have to do that later might as well count them too while im there thanks sayaka

yeah there probably arent a lot of other featherheads around he can be tough to deal with but

[It's hard to describe how and why Kuja is hard to deal with. "He tried to destroy the world, but he's probably okay" doesn't sound too good... Uh.]

just tell me if you see him

Middle-est symbol is a mouth, and the ones right next to the ( )'s framing everything are eyes. Sorta see it now?

Some people make faces that are sideways, though. like :] or >;(. I like mine better.

i get it now!! i dont see all those pictures on here like the triangle

but lemme try here goes

(. )( .)

_{[Oh god she cracked up laughing.]}

yes

perfect

[Zidane loves boobs and making girls laugh (not that he knows if she's a girl yet but making other people laugh is good, too) so this is already working out well!

~~Not that he'd ever do such a thing on purpose.~~]

it looks like im a natural!! (.)(.)

[although it seems he still hasn't gotten the actual use of the period key down.]

so where do you think i should go first if im looking for somebody?

It wouldn't hurt to type properly, you know.

type huh?? we dont have these boxes for writing where im from ill brush up on it later if ive got the time

ive got more important things to worry about right now my brothers dying!

Fair enough.

Dying? Did your brothers get involved in the experiments here?

no i was trying to help him right before i woke up here i thought maybe i went through another portal and he might be here too

i dont know about any experiments what experiments? do they have something to do with this collar this place keeps getting worse

Oh. I don't know how you can find your brother then.

I have no idea either, actually. Just that whoever brought us here randomly put us through tests that can be dangerous. I just got here a few days ago myself and that's all second hand information. The person who told me is someone I trust though so I don't think he'd lie about it.

too bad ill have to try looking for him somehow! if hes here i know ill find him

dangerous tests they dont have any right to do that!! this is worse than i thought

the person you trust is someone you know from home? whats your name?

Good luck then.

They don't but they do it anyway and apparently there is no way to find them or stop them. We can't even leave the tower.

I'm Sakuma. And that person is a friend from home, yeah.
