[ '2' replaces S, Is are doubled and the preposition 'to' is spelled 'two'. The colored text and font, as Martin's learned they're called, suggests this person is related to the other individuals with peculiar typing quirks, these so-called 'trolls'. ] I'm afraid you're trapped here, like the rest of us.

[ Sarcasm goes well with a side of smart arse. Besides, Martin's been studying some basic chemistry to see if its knowledge might improve his Destruction magic. ] No, 'air' is mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, as well as trace gasses.

You're welcome.

[ Semantics, an Imperial's favorite game! Martin Septim, Emperor of Tamriel, is duty bound not to let this opportunity go, as a paragon of his people. ] I suppose it could be argued that by breathing what makes up the atmosphere, we are breathing the atmosphere itself. I've discovered air's a rather vague term.

Text makes a poor venue for bodily gestures and facial expressions, which are essential when trying to amuse through sarcasm. [ Otherwise, you come across as an ass, as did person did.

No, really, he should tone this down. The following text is sent a minute after: ] I'm Martin Septim. Been here since the beginning, gathering information. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

[ Martin hates seeing people in pain. But there isn't much he can offer aside from platitudes... ] I think people you might know are here.
