I can't be the only one who's wondered. Do people normally just leave you alone when you mutter such things to yourself?

[schismanic]

[ cont. from shiraishi ]

Oh, fair enough.

So is that an invitation, or a suggestion?

[schismanic]

[ cont. from grune ]

Is that so?

It seems terribly uncomfortable down there. How do you stand it?

[schismanic]

[ cont. from tonbokiri ]

So they failed so utterly in what they meant that they looped right back around to successful instead.

[ just

not how they wanted, maybe ]

Perhaps one of us should give them pointers if we ever get the chance.

[schismanic]

[ cont. from nathan ]

Well, if those are the only three options I can see why you chose this one.

You don't think that there's anything else to do, though? Not bothered by the situation at all, hmm?

[warmness]

Oh, it's not that bad. The floor is very even.

[schismanic]

Yes, but the lack of cushioning! It's not soft at all!

[warmness]

Really? Hm... it's not that bad.

[ grune will stand up at that though. ]

[schismanic]

[ cont. from kanesan ]

It certainly does. Hopefully it won't be that long, though. I don't know about you, but I don't particularly like the idea of being stuck here for years.

[schismanic]

Do you really not feel any aches at all when you get up from that?

[ what is this superpower ]

[schismanic]

[ cont. from escha ]

Hm...? Oh, don't worry about me. Like you said, there's plenty of us stuck here.

[ for better or for worse ]

Who knows? We might be more likely to all get sick of each other first.

[warmness]

Sometimes a little queasy, but...

[ that's from just being in this place and not like

the floor naps ]

[schismanic]

[ cont. from logy ]

Honestly. Some people really have no manners. But it's a pleasure to meet you too, Logy. Let's hope we figure out our situation relatively quickly, hmm?

[applechemist]

I hope not!

But it wouldn't be surprising if not everyone gets along... Or if some people are frustrated enough to pick fights.

[airshipped]

Here's hoping. We should probably start with looking around this place.

[schismanic]

[ cont. from chuuya dee (as opposed to chuuya dum) ]

Then we are at an impasse, wouldn't you say? You won't believe my answers, but you yourself say you wouldn't know.

Unless you mean to draw in a third party?

[schismanic]

[ cont. from junpei ]

But no balcony or outside access to see whether there's anything not listed, is there? [ said more like it's a forgone conclusion than actually asking, given how some people seem to be trying and failing to do anything with the windows, hm. ]

Who knows how big this place might or might not be without us actually knowing.

[preceptive]

Yes. [who knows. he doesn't pay much attention?] You're just nosy.

[schismanic]

Or it might be that they're keeping a safe distance from the crazy person. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't humans usually tend to find talking to nothing somewhat off-putting?

[ peers at. ]

You don't look all that scary to me, though.

[schismanic]

Nothing gets rid of that, does it...

[ whine mode engaged ]

[warmness]

Oh? You feel it too?

[crashout]

[He hears the tone but he shakes his head. Nope. No balconies.]

There's a lot of basements listed, but we don't know how many rooms are on those floors. [That's the worst part.] For all we know it could be connected to a whole other building, too. For now all we can do is learn the layout of this one as best as we can.

[namelessfighter]

You aren't the only one. But with as many of us as there brought here, and all the skill between us, they won't be able to keep us here for long.

[ why is he so confident ]

[preceptive]

I'm not exactly trying to look scary.

[notaquaman]

Of course I'm bothered, but you're not going to see me screaming and crying about it when nobody's waving a knife at me. That's just exhausting.

[He can only scream like a little baby so many times in a given day.]

If there's really anything to do other than what our mysterious hosts seem to want us to do, I've yet to figure it out.

[goatsongs]

Does anybody else know you? For more than the hour we've been here, I mean.

[Because otherwise, it's a stalemate.]

[felinguistic]

Neither. It’s a friendly warning.

[schismanic]

Here? I don't think so, but maybe I just haven't found them yet.

[ they're stalemated, jim ]

[schismanic]

Oh, so it's not an act you do to try to keep people away. That's good to hear. I just had to be sure.

[schismanic]

Oh? And what would you do, I wonder?

[schismanic]

Unfortunately. I think everyone does.

[schismanic]

Oh my. You certainly have quite a lot of faith in the skill of those brought here. Were the people you met truly so impressive? Or, perhaps, do you know some of the people here?

[warmness]

Oh no.

Maybe we can keep trying to nap it off.

[schismanic]

Even with eight people there's enough to pick fights with. I don't give us very good odds for avoiding it with however many it is we've got stuck here.

Of course, the more important thing might be to make sure the fights are relatively petty, rather than serious.

[felinguistic]

Oh nothing extreme. I just don't have to tell you anything. Good or bad.

[preceptive]

There are better methods if I was trying to keep people away.

[schismanic]

Do you think we'll find much more than...?

[ gestures. orgy fountain ]

[applechemist]

You're usually around eight people, huh?

[ That sounds nice, being in a group...! Escha always likes when she's out gathering with a lot of other people. ]

... Right. It's normal to have disagreements. What's important is resolving them maturely.

[airshipped]

I really hope there's more to this place than that.

There's only one way to be sure of it.

[Which means it's time to very slowly explore the premises.]

[schismanic]

I wouldn't say usually, but that's more or less what it's been recently. It kind of rotates, though. Sometimes people have to stay behind or don't want to do something, you know?

[ the jrpg 4 head limit... ]

Most of the time it's just my sister and I. And, well, the Four, I suppose.

[schismanic]

But if you didn't come look for me, then of course my only other option would be to go bother you. At which point, the only thing left to say is that you never intended on telling me anything in the first place.

Do you make a habit of toying with innocent maidens' hearts so?

[applechemist]

I know what you mean. A lot of times we leave town with eleven people, but we kind of split up when we actually get off the road.

[ JRPG 3 head limit... ]

The... Four? [ But you just said eight, what?? Huh??? ]

[goatsongs]

There's a list of everybody here. You can read, right?

[namelessfighter]

Some of the people here are from my citadel, so yes, I believe they are skilled enough to help us find a way out. Though some of the others do seem to be plenty capable on their own.

[daifukus]

[ he laughs ]

It is very possible. I fear I do not know nearly enough about such things to know if they meant it as such or not.

[ it sure is a discussion piece tho ]

[felinguistic]

You could always trust I'll come and find you, without you having to pester me.
