[ Video for a moment. Roslyn's bent over the netbook, frowning. She doesn't look nearly as put together as normal, her hair shoved back into a messy ponytail as she rubs at her forehead. Her room behind her is a mess, none of the organization people who had visited her before would have seen. She realizes the video is recording almost immediately and sighs, clicking a button to switch it to voice. ]

I've noticed a significant uptick in people asking for the nearest bar. I believe someone out there is working on some sort of welcome booklet, but for now -

Welcome to Exsilium. Here's how you have a drink.

[ just before she disconnects ] You'll need it.

[ And attached to her post is a text list of the bars in the hold, question marks by the ones she hasn't been to and a few words' of description by the ones she has - size, activity levels. Well over half of them have descriptions. ]

The whys frequently are a key to solving the problem at hand.

[ a beat. softer. ] Is there indeed?

voice;

[onemoredeath]

There wasn't that much of a problem to be solved.

Yes. It must have been a state-funded park at one time. Even in it's decaying state, there is still some beauty left.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

In your estimation.

Can I get directions to it?

voice;

[onemoredeath]

I suppose the tackling reporters were a bit much.

Ah, yes, just a moment and I will send the map. [ MAP.jpg is being sent, will you accept? Y/N ]

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

The entire thing was unenjoyable.

[ Y. ]

Memories are electrical impulses held on to by our brain matter. These weapons we were given also answer to the impulses of our brains. Some where I think the wires crossed.

When you go to the garden, be careful. Some spots act like mini sink holes.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

Perhaps that's it. Frankly the science of the matter doesn't concern me much.

I'll take that into consideration.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

The brain is a fascinating thing - I often enjoyed looking up new theories into why people act the way they do.

Please do. I'd hate to stumble over you stuck in the mire.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

I tend to leave that to those whose job it is to know that.

You won't.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

I suppose I got interested in the mechanics thanks to my former occupation.

Good.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

Which one?

voice;

[onemoredeath]

The host one, my dear.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

Endearments of any kind fall under the same heading as flirting.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

Such a hard one to crack. No fun.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

I don't feel any desire to be 'cracked'.

[ as if a simple desire not to means she won't be. in her head, that's how it works. ]

voice;

[onemoredeath]

Always a mystery then?

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

There is very little mystery to me. I am who I say I am.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

You also prefer women over men and your sense of humor borders on the dry side. Still, there is a mystery to you.

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

I think you're looking for something you won't find.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

Maybe, maybe not. What are you looking for?

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

Who says I have to be looking for anything?

voice;

[onemoredeath]

Who says that you do not want to know the secrets others around here may have?

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

If they wish to keep secrets, that is their business.

voice;

[onemoredeath]

Ah?

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

Yes, ah.
