Can't say I'm a big fan of a tower dragging me off from my already desolate world, but eh. Whatever works.

So.

Is there any place safe enough for a guy to get a good smoke here? Not really in the mood to trek through dangerous monsters here.

...

Right, name's Lindow. Nice to meet you all.

Floor twenty-five. The meadow floor.

[donotdie]

...They have a meadow here?

...Wait, what's a meadow again?

[Text]

[alephbet]

A place with lots of flowers and grace and nice weather.

[Text]

[donotdie]

Oh right. That. Never seen too many of those back home.

[Text]

[alephbet]

Me neither. I remember some in Arcadia, but they were all simulated.

Why would you wish to contaminate your body with carcinogens? I never could understand the significance in pollutants.

[donotdie]

...Guess it's my way of coping with stress, I guess. Work's pretty damn tough back home, y'know?

text

[absolute_perception]

Noted and understood. I am familiar with stress. Are you afraid of chocking?

text

[donotdie]

Not really, I mean, that kinda comes with the territory, don't you think?

I cannot say considering that I am not in the habit of poisoning my body deliberately.
I cannot say that others would do the same to me in this place.
I have heard of places where experiments have occurred to test the limits of the human body that often had tragic results.

I cannot tell you what you should do, but I am concerned for your health.

[...!!] [After seeing this particular message on the network, Hyunlee scrambles on his feet in wide shock. He runs to where Soma is standing, then urges him to quickly come.]

S-Soma! Soma! You won't believe who just posted on the network!

[Well, Hyunlee himself is having a hard time. While they're already aware that, despite being the "same people," they're all actually from different worlds... So, does that mean that this Lindow survived in his particular world?]

[Soma squints at the screen just to make sure he's seeing this correctly.

Evidently, it really is that person.

And typical. Asking about a place that's suitable to take a drag from his cigerrette.

Time to make a very sarcastic reply to this text.]

Want some beer to go with that?

[donotdie]

Well, that'd be pretty damn lovely if you're willing to part with them.

[Wow, this guy's already pretty damn cool in his book.]

[anti]

[What. All right, this conversation is quick to turn humorous... It's thanks to Soma's reply, really. Hyunlee's having a hard time restraining his laugh, so he covers his mouth with a palm before he bursts into loud giggles.

He'll be quiet as he continues to watch the screen, awaiting further replies from these two.]

[2/2]

[assaulter]

Well, if you're willing to head down to the cafeteria in the first floor, you might get some.

[Sorry, Lindow!

Soma is really lying. He just wants to see with his own eyes whether this person is really him or not.

Dragging him to a certain area with a promise of beer seemed like the right thing to do. Soma does not know any lovely ladies to bring along though.]

[donotdie]

I'll make sure to check that out then~

[Luckily, he's a taken man, so there's no problem with the lack of girls]

Any place may be safe, provided you have the ability to make it such.

That being said floors twenty eight and twenty five are the safest.

[Text]

[donotdie]

That's what some people's saying to me, 'll probably check that out once I'm changed out of this strange white suit.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

Your clothes and any possessions you have that can fit in it should be in the chest by the foot of the bed you awoke on.

They certainly want us to feel at home I suppose.

[Text]

[donotdie]

No kidding about that one. Though I've heard that this place can get... messy at times.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

From what small sample I've had of it I suppose that is one way you might put it.

I find it simply annoying at the moment. But perhaps it would be a greater problem to others.

[text]

[turkleader]

[Oh, he already had to go through this.]

Floor 25, I've found, is the best. I hope you arrived here with a lighter.

[text]

[donotdie]

...Yeah, would be a bit problematic if I don't have 'em here.

[Because doing it really old-school is not high in his list right now.]

[text]

[turkleader]

I did search all over my trunk for one, but it seems the people in charge here seemed fit to play a bit of a joke.

[text]

[donotdie]

Yeesh, that sounds like a nightmare or something.
