[Don't mind a bright blue eye staring closely at the book. In a moment, it pulls away to reveal the young man it belongs to.]
Is this thing on? [He leans in to tap firmly at the book.] Yes? No? Whatever. The quicker someone points me in the direction of the exit, the better. I've got more important things to do than sit around here twiddling my

So plan your escape carefully, okay?

Yes, it appears you've managed to get it working.
[There's a brief pause as she looks up and around. This poor lass is wandering outside of the barracks.]
I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone of that description, yet.

That's alright. I don't really want her to be here, anyway. She'd probably complain up a storm.

I may not have a scar on my nose, but if you found a way out of here, I think we would all prefer if you shared it.
[A considered pause.]
I'm Chloe. If you have any questions about this place, I'll do my best to answer.

I wouldn't leave everyone here. Unless they're weird and want to stay.
Nice to meet ya, Chloe. I'm Dante.

Define... 'little'?
[Another short pause.]
What kind of chaos can you create, anyway? If you cause any destruction to the Keep, or its inhabitants, there will be a public punishment that could range from a wide variety of things. N-no one's allowed to interfere...
[A chill courses through her, and Chloe shudders. The was the headsman moved towards her. Appeared in more than one form. Stopped her from going to him.]
Whatever it will be... it won't be pleasant.
[A small smile.]
Good to know.
Nice to meet you, too.

I dunno how I feel about being punished in public. That sorta thing should be done in private. [It's possible he's not talking about the same kind of punishment.]

So, what's your great escape plan? Care to share? I... don't recommend scaling the Keep walls. While relatively easy and lacking in the excitement scale... not so fun when you dissolve into dust on the other side.

[Good choice in spots to chill, bro.]
...Well, damn. I didn't think it'd be that easy, but I didn't think it'd be that hard.

Honestly, I didn't think it'd be that easy--or hard--either. I have a bit of a knack for getting out of tight situations, but so far everything here has gotten the better hand. I'm determined to find an exit, however, so if you care to work together--share information on what decidedly does not work...
[He winces a bit.]
I definitely suggest not going over the walls. Even death here does not seem permanent, however. You'll wake with no clothing and no memory of who you are or why you're here, though the memories come back after a while. It's a strange place, this. I think you'll see what I mean.

I heard about the no memory thing. Not sure how I feel about waking up naked. I guess it depends on who's there when I wake up.
