As interesting as watching the network has been, I suppose it's time to let everyone know I'm still around, hmm?

[Alas, whatever has been sending people away has yet to rid the tower of the ever cheerful scientist. The background of his feed is clearly the infirmary, though why would he be down there-- oh well.]

Now, now, what was the harm in letting them chat with such a polite young man? He was only answering a few questions.

[Lloyd is, of course, referring to the sudden end to one certain little response on the network. Yes, he was tracking it! What else is there for him to do but stalk everyone's conversations?]

I wonder. Maybe they're protecting him from us... or is it the other way around?

Also! Now's as good as chance as any to ask how romping around through those new floors went for you all. I can't say I was bothered to go and investigate on my own~.

[Certainly not with a tower full of curious guinea pigs to do that for him.]

[At first this is video, but there's too much noise for the words to be heard--it sounds like something screeching just out of shot. After a minute, he switches to text.]

My computer got shut off but this one isn't mine, so I don't think they'll notice right away. I don't think you guys are dangerous! I don't think I am either.

[That feedback gains a wince... ah, but when the boy goes to text, Lloyd is happy enough to switch to that as well. It could be the camera and mic over there is shot.]

You would be surprised on what some people think of as dangerous!

Zo, was it? What was that sound?

[animusnpcs]

I'm not sure, it's always really loud in here but it has lots of extra computers no one knows about.

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

Now that's curious. How would your friends overlook a room full of extra computers?

I believe Zo is unaware of the danger he is in, and helping create.

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

Children usually are unaware of that, aren't they? Possibly a loss for the lad if they catch him, but I wonder what else we could find out from him that the others might not say!

[spacehipster]

We need to find him before he gets hurt.

video

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

We do? I don't see why... and considering he's likely somewhere we can't even reach...

[It would be a silly thing to do!]

[thisclinchesit]

It's certainly interesting, to say the least.

Haven't investigated any of the new floors yet myself, though I keep meaning to.

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

As interesting as this boring little tower can get.

Oh? Well, try to remember to report back when you do. No one else has even bothered to document the changes...

Zo is very friendly even though he is a baddy! [Yep thats all your getting, Romeo states the obvious.]

video

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

A baddy? That's quite an assumption to make, Romeo.

['sup, tiny roomie child thing.]

Re: video

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Well he brought us here, and Doctor said that the world hadn't ended and they were just pretending it did and had kidnapped us, kidnapping people makes them baddies right sir?

[Sup! He's looking very intently into the camera, far too close because he still doesn't get how the thing works!]

[ video ]

[dawnlotus.livejournal.com]

Aha, stayed in one place? What have you been up to?

[ video ]

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

Yes! Apparently I was given the job of "nurse" in the tower, so I've been spending some time here, poking about. [Oh the horror.] It isn't so dangerous once you remember to avoid the needles!

[ video ]

[dawnlotus.livejournal.com]

[Poking about, eh? He seems to like his work.] Oh? So you've had patients already? It's not too much work, is it?

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

[Oho, one of those troll children.]

We do have names for our hosts, actually. They presented themselves to us before any of your kind arrived.

Not that is changes much!

And yes, I do lean towards the idea that they want to keep him away from us rather than the other way around. It seems more plausible.

[an older person, how weird]

[Video] (also I've been meaning to tag you somewhere for a while!)

[invisiblebombs.livejournal.com]

_{[In as much as someone with half their face covered can look curious, he does. Obviously he was not as observant.]}

A child? I wouldn't be surprised if they were protecting us from him... vicious creatures, some of them. He certainly doesn't seem dangerous, but then again... many don't.

_{[Oh the joys of speaking from experience.]}

Should any interesting results from this exploration turn up, I'd appreciate the knowledge. I haven't felt quite up to roaming as of late.

[video] yo, nursebro. sup? B)

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

Really? I can't say I've ever had a problem with children that young. [Because he avoids them like the plague anyway.] But you never know!

Certainly. Anything that comes forth will be posted on the network, so it should be easy to access.

>D Plotting terrible things, naturally.

[invisiblebombs.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not young. Teenagers, I believe you would call them. But I would rather not even risk anything. Young children can be dangerous in their own right, I suppose. _{[Naturally he's thinking of young demon children, and while he can take on just about anyone he'd rather not chance it.]}

I appreciate it. I'll just have to keep a closer eye on this network than I have been.

now that LJ is letting me tag this.......

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

[ He's annoyed. He's going to need to learn to filter things on this, isn't he? Not that you could tell from a glance--but he'd seen that too.

And he doesn't happen to like it. ]

They're using a child. It's not particularly harmful that they let Doctor-san talk to him, but...

[ It's not right. This guy? Also stinks of being a scientist. Which he is far from comfortable with, but whatever. ]

I personally feel like this is an opportunity as much as it is a problem.

[ On the one hand! They could get more out of that kid about the tower. ... On the other, it's a child who believes the lie he's been fed and he feels pretty bad for him. How could they save him and help open his eyes? It wouldn't be easy. ]

/latest thing ever, so sorry

[knightmaking.livejournal.com]

[Everything about this guy is yelling scientist from the highest mountaintop, kiddo.]

It might not seem harmful to us, but we cannot know for sure what our hosts believe may or may not be harmful. Even if it's only words from a child!

S'ALRIGHT *o* Lloydddd

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

[ ... Yeah it's kind of hard not to notice. Personal bothering here, but Minato has a perfect pokerface. ]

... I suppose you have a point. Though it seems more to me like they'd rather not let too much information slip.
