Specifically for the occupants of 2-10
<sub>[When Dirk awakens and can't move at first, he finds himself panicking. This isn't something that normally happens, so it's a huge relief when he actually is able to move. Immediately, he's able to tell he's not where he should be. His memory is a little hazy due to the fact he's still waking up, but he knows that the last thing he was doing, which certainly wasn't sleeping. Who could sleep when their home was under attack?

The letters he finds answers a few of the initial questions he has, but it leaves a billion more unanswered. His world was destroyed? Given the state it was in, he isn't surprised, but he was supposed to get into the game first. He's pretty sure this isn't it. This is horribly disconcerting, because he can't help but wonder about his friends. Did they make it to safety? Are they here?

After another few moments, he's aware he's not the only person in the room either. Well then.]</sub>

...Who are you people.



Network; open.
I'm not entirely sure what is going here, so perhaps someone can shed some light on this situation.
How is it that I've arrived here?
I'm finding the information provided by the welcoming committee highly doubtful for a multitude of reasons that I don't have time to get into at this time.
With that, I'll cut to the chase; in the off-chance that it's actually correct, that my world was destroyed, I must ask.
Does anyone know Roxy Lalonde, Jake English, Jane Crocker and their whereabouts?

Have an actual direct conversation with someone? I don't think the dumbasses will be able to handle it without going to pieces.

[GETTING ROSE TO LIKE ANYONE IS ALREADY NIGHTMARE MODE CHALLENGE. BEING RELATED JUST RAMPS THE DIFFICULTY UP TO ELEVEN.]

[givesyouaboner]

That makes it an easy win.







_{[CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.]}

[restitchtime]

I don't know, I think I'd disqualify it instantly on account of the fact you're basically fighting an unarmed and comatose opponent.

[GOOD LUCK YE BRAVE IDIOT]

[givesyouaboner]

Whoever said anything about playing by the rules?

_{[SURELY ONE DAY HE SHALL SUCCEED.]}

[restitchtime]

Considering the poor fuckers are already at a disadvantage it's the least you can do to be polite.

[MAYBE ON HIS DEATH BED]

[givesyouaboner]

I suppose. However, I'm never one for leniency.

_{[THEN IT WORKS THAT DYING HERE IS A COMMON THING, HUH.]}

[restitchtime]

There's being strict and then there's kicking a paraplegic dog down an up escalator. Have some goddamn standards.

[NOT REALLY SINCE YOU'D HAVE TO STAY DEAD FOR HER TO GIVE A DAMN]

[givesyouaboner]

They wouldn't be in that pitiful shape. And if they were, they would deserve my lax standards.

_[GODDAMNIT.]

[restitchtime]

Guess you haven't run into too many of our glorious fellow residents, then.

[YEP. YOU LITERALLY CANNOT WIN WITH HER.]

[givesyouaboner]

I can't say I have. I can count on one hand with how many people I've run into and still have some left over.

_{[THIS IS DEPRESSING AS FUCK.]}

[restitchtime]

Thought so. Give it a little time and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

[DAMN RIGHT IT IS]

[givesyouaboner]

I'd rather not.

_{[WHY CAN'T HE BE AN EXCEPTION.]}

[restitchtime]

Too bad, that shit's going to happen whether you want it or not. The tower doesn't exactly care about consent.

[BECAUSE NO ONE IS AN EXCEPTION, ESPECIALLY NOT GENETIC COPIES OF HER BRO]

[givesyouaboner]

Maybe a way out can be found before then.

_[SOB.]

[restitchtime]

I'd agree with you if it weren't for the fact that this particular migraine takes less than five minutes to happen.

[SUCH IS LIFE]

[givesyouaboner]

That's unfortunate. If you were more patient with people maybe they wouldn't be as prevalent.

_{[LIFE SUCKS, END OF STORY.]}

[restitchtime]

If people weren't dumbasses right off the bat maybe I'd have a reason to be more patient with them.

[PRETTY MUCH]

[givesyouaboner]

That really sounds like a you-problem.

[restitchtime]

Yeah, unfortunately. I always seem to be running into total assholes and not much else.

[givesyouaboner]

That's life for you.

[restitchtime]

Actually I was thinking it's more of a cosmic 'kick me' sign on the back of my head.

[givesyouaboner]

It might not be a thing if you were more patient with people.

[restitchtime]

I'm patient with shit that actually merits it. Everyone else can either keep up or shut up.

[givesyouaboner]

That'd work out fine if most people were as quick to the uptake. You can't really hold that against them.

[restitchtime]

Sure I can. Being a judgemental bitch has its perks.
