hey. i'm one of the new people who woke up in the monster hospital.
thanks for coming to get us.
i've already talked to some of you but i guess i should introduce myself anyway.
i'm roxas and i'm from the same place as sora and riku.

[And he's not at all used used to openly talking to...anybody...but it's apparently the thing to do here, and the network is literally in his head, so he forges past his discomfort.]

people have already been answering the questions i figure most of us had after we got here but i have a few extras.

1. some of us were in the hospital a really long time.
we didn't just show up there right before you guys came to rescue us but no one knew.
is there a chance there could be other spots where more displaced people are trapped?

2. i keep getting a lot of stuff from UNA.
i guess they want to recruit me?
they think my parents died in the emp attack. they must like orphans.
is there a way to make it stop? it is really annoying.

3. what's the highest place in the city a person can get to?
it's okay if i need to climb to get to it.
i just can't open a corridor to go there directly anymore.

4. i'm already looking for stuff myself but if anyone knows about a good way to find a job if you've never had one before i guess that'd be good.
well...i have had a job but nothing i got paid for. otherwise i only remember doing odd jobs for a day.
i don't care that much about munny but i've got too much free time now.

that's all.

I know Sora and Riku! I know Dawn too, did you know him? He's Riku's twin, he's missing now and I'm wondering if maybe he's being held at one of these other places the Displaced could be now that you mention it so point number one begs investigating and the UNA are really shitty people who shot me and killed a friend of mine (he's ok now) so maybe there's a filter option to put them right in the trash so that you can focus on SCHOOL before WORK like I'm trying to get Riku and Sora to do but they're also hard workers and should rely on their seniors a little more because that's what we're here for!

[ there's no punctuation, enjoy ]

[recompleted]

[He doesn't mind the lack of punctuation, but it does take him a couple of minutes to read and parse the string of thoughts. Perhaps his own lack of capitalization makes this a destined friendship.]

i didn't know he had a twin but i'm not really surprised.
actually i look a lot like sora too except for our hair.
anyway that's what i'm worried about.
i was with my friends before and if they're somewhere here too i have to help them.
i'm not going to join up with anyone so i will look for a filter then thanks.
not going to school.

[laozu]

Rest assured, we'll find a way to help everyone or my surname isn't

Mo! [ it's wei, but gotta' go with the cover story ]

WHOA WAIT, WE'LL COME BACK TO THE REST IN A SECOND BUT LET ME JUST SAY!!! You should go to school, it's easy and online and it will help you acquire a better job. You're young, aren't you? There's probably not much in terms of occupational options for you up front, so you might as well put your free time to good use. Listen to your new senior, who despised the classroom setting in his own youth and is now advising you on this. (`へ´*)ノ (`へ´*)ノ (`へ´*)ノ

[recompleted]

no that's okay
i'll figure something out even if it's harder
i've never been to school before and i was fine

[...well, no he wasn't, but that was unrelated to school.]

[laozu]

Oh my, you're a little rebel aren't you!

[ after his own heart ]

At least you have Sora and Riku to rely on, and that means you have me and my countrymen as well! Needless to say, that's a lot of us interested in helping you!

[recompleted]

no
i'm not going to rely on anyone
i mean we can talk and share information and stuff
but i can take care of myself

RE: 1. People disappear sometimes. No one knows where they go when it happens. Sometimes they show back up in their beds like it's nothing. Sometimes they go home for a bit. Some of them we haven't seen since.

So yes, I'd say it's very possible.

RE: 2. They do like orphans. They like anyone they can take advantage of. DON'T talk to them.

@nill.klein

[culver]

Have you been to a lot of worlds like them, then?

1. Probably. We never seem to find out that new displaced are here until a while after they've been in this world, so I think it's likely.

2. Have you tried blocking them? I think you can do that with the implants.

3. Probably the Vyonation building. It's over 100 stories high, I think. And I'm pretty sure there's an elevator. Why?

4. There are a lot of odd jobs to do here. It's really easy to get a job as a courier or in a grocery store. I'm a courier sometimes when business is slow.

@riku.masterson

[inherited]

There are a lot of skyscrapers, but you won't need to climb to get to the top.

[Debating.

... Debating ...]

I could take you up to one.

[Heights don't appeal to him as much as the river down the center of the city. But they don't bother him, either.]

[recompleted]

that's what i was a afraid of. doesn't anyone look for them?

i'm not going to. i'm done with people trying to use me. i just want them to shut up.

[recompleted]

yeah lots
not with them but we've been to a lot of the same places

1. i don't like that. if people are here and need help we should be trying to find them.

2. i didn't know i could do that. i'll give it a try.

3. i just like being in high places. me and my friends used to spend a lot of time sitting at the edge of this clock tower.

4. like delivering stuff? do they have skateboards here?

[recompleted]

[He is and isn't surprised by the offer. Mostly, he's curious—from what he remembers, Riku would have even less access to the dark corridors than he does, so that can't be the way.]

yeah?
how?

@ren.amamiya

[variate]

If you've had odd jobs, you probably have a pretty diverse resume. Just go for something that you enjoyed doing when you did them, and see if you like it.

Why are you getting things from the UNA?

[recompleted]

i was pretty good at delivering the mail on a skateboard.

[He's...he's not sure if that's an option here.]

you know the fake backgrounds they gave us? i think something about mine must make them think i'd be a good recruit.

[inherited]

[Here it goes.]

Ever heard of an elevator?

@riku.masterson

[inherited]

[Ah ...]

Not everyone got fake backgrounds. Just you guys, I guess.

Cassius has a messed up sense of humor.

[Also up in the air? How the heck did Cassius know to give that to Roxas of all people?]

[recompleted]

are you serious?
why us and not you?

[recompleted]

[For a second, he nearly says no. He can't remember anything like that from the castle, and whenever they went to other worlds, they used the darkness to get anywhere really out of the way. But then memories that shouldn't still exist rush in to fill the gap.

'Last one to Station Commons has to climb the stairs up instead of the elevator!'
'No way, Hayner, you can't just say that when you've got a head start!']

oh. right.

[inherited]

I think the tallest building here belongs to a corporation, but you wouldn't want to climb that either.

The next best bet is a hotel of some kind. I think it'll give you just what you want.

[Pulsar's tallest building is—something. It suits its name and everything.]

[recompleted]

[He's shaky on what exactly a corporation is but he'll take Riku's word for it.]

that sounds all right.
thanks.

[inherited]

[Besides, they probably need to talk. And not the awkward "you just got here and I'm trying not to be a jerk" talk. The ... other trying not to be a jerk talk.

Which may be every talk with Riku, actually.

Though he doesn't always keep up the "not trying."

This got long. Anyway.]

When do you wanna head over? It's raining right now, but I don't think that's the type of thing that'll stop you.

[inherited]

El's not a jerk like that.

[recompleted]

great.
maybe he was trying to make me feel at home with another group of jerks wanting me to work for them.
just like old times.

[recompleted]

i don't have a schedule right now.
and i got a jacket with a hood.
so yeah i guess now works.

[It's not like waiting for better weather will make a difference. This world is never going to have a sunset that measures up anyway.]

[inherited]

I hope that's not it.
