[Matt's hanging out on second level, slightly alarmed by the bits and pieces he's picked up about people going missing, but he hasn't heard about it affecting anyone he knows

I'm mixed on that... I'm comfortable here because finally there's proof that many of my beliefs were right. I have my partner here too, which helps. At the same time, I don't like having the truth withheld by the authorities. Hearing about so many disappearances- and not being able to do anything about them- can also be unnerving.

[final_letter]

Yeah, it's a mixed bag. I've gotten answers I needed here, but I know the people running this place can fuck with me at pretty much any time.

What do you know about the disappearances?

[ufo_fanboy]

I know that they're completely random, and that people return to their home worlds when it happens. It's not like the kidnappings that happened a little while back.

[final_letter]

Huh. Is that how people know they go back to when they left?

[ambitions_are]

... "Templatians"?

[final_letter]

Hey, I thought it sounded cool. What would you call us?

[ambitions_are]

People. Who live in Template.

[final_letter]

But that doesn't have a ring to it, dude.

How've you been? No chainsaws, I hope.

[cruciverbal]

... I wouldn't know.

[final_letter]

Really? [Peering at him.] Ryuzaki, yeah? It's been a while.

[cruciverbal]

[Staring deadpan]

... I don't believe we've met.

[And yet, there's maybe something about him that seems familiar, in a way ... ]

[final_letter]

I'm Matt, we met when I first got here. You are a detective, yeah?
