This is bollocks. [The screen flickers on, and the unfamiliar face makes itself known. On the way he's holding it however, his face is more obscured by the shadows than revealed. Squinting into the lens for a moment, he reaches over to adjust it, presses some buttons as the feed comes into focus. Then he turns the camera towards the wall.I can't

[tessenwarrior]

Has someone told you about this place yet?

[faultlesscon]

Bits and pieces. I'm now aware this place experiments on everyone else and that it's a different world with magic and thighs I never believed.

[Best. Day. Ever.]

[tessenwarrior]

Yup, that seems right.

I'm Suki, by the way.

[faultlesscon]

So what's the survival rate of these experiments? Or is it safe to assume a lot of you have been here for a while?

Alex, a pleasure... somewhat.

[tessenwarrior]

Well, some of the experiments are just weird, like switching our genders, but sometimes they can get difficult on us. Once, I swear, they were trying to kill us, but when we die. We come right back.

It's nice to meet you Alex.

[faultlesscon]

That's... comforting and twisted all at once.

Mm, do you have any advice for me while I'm here? It seems like there are regulars and that new people are... often.

[tessenwarrior]

Well, knowing how to protect yourself is a good idea, and try not to hate yourself if you do something you regret here. That will be happening a lot. [Yeah, she's blushing a bit. Someone can't take her own advice.]

[faultlesscon]

Personal experience?

[Oh so wary of that blush.]

[tessenwarrior]

Yeah. I guess it can't really be helped here though. They're trying to break us after all.

[faultlesscon]

Break us, huh? [He looks off to the side.]

Well then I'd think some of us are failing at that then. Try and be careful of yourself, next time.

[tessenwarrior]

Yeah, because I mean to let this place get to me. Sometimes it just happens, even to the strongest people here.

[faultlesscon]

Take it easy, I didn't mean any offense. [His brows furrow.]

Being in a closed space will break anyone with the right amount of time. Just saying its not your fault, but I don't think it matters to them or not.

[tessenwarrior]

[Have a look.]

No. It doesn't. I think they find some odd amusement in it all.

[faultlesscon]

Life's twisted like that - and then this happens. [A sigh and he nearly drops his head over wherever he's sitting.]

[tessenwarrior]

Basically, and it's probably only going to get worse.

[faultlesscon]

... At least we have each other?

[A long pause.] Bloody hell, that was god awful to say.
