[A gentle clearing of the throat, and a man speaks in a clipped, poshly accented voice. Every word perfectly enunciated.]

To all fellow unwitting tourists,

What is the singular fact about this city and/or our presumed hosts you wish someone had told you upon your arrival?

Much obliged.

That the food can and will fuck you up.

[soupreme]

How so, if I may ask?

[limbical]

Important for me to clarify, only food that is somehow already prepared and left out for people has affected us. Ice cream from the ice cream shoppe changing people's moods, for example. Tea already prepared at the garden also affected people physically.

From my experience, food simply as ingredients from the markets seems safe.

the part where they already know everything about us and will absolutely rub our faces in it every chance they get

[soupreme]

How pleasant.

It seems our hosts would benefit from a lesson, or several, on proper etiquette.

[petsthedog]

they ever show their faces, i'm sure there'll be a long line

Are you alright with something someone did tell me that came in handy?

[soupreme]

Certainly.

Find someone reliable, or multiple people you think are reliable, and keep in contact with them, in case you need help.

Our mystery masterminds are really into team-building, but only the worst kind. Like, the "always utilize the buddy system or something'll get you in the dark" kind.

[soupreme]

Luckily for me, the dark and I are old friends.

Does nobody truly know the identity of those who brought us here? Someone somewhere must know something. This level of infrastructure requires staff. Networks don't simply maintain themselves. Cell phones don't find their way into your pocket of their own accord.

[ at first, he doesn't think much of it as he's scrolling through the network. it's usually a good way to pass the time, to take his mind off certain things and pretend all is right in the world. and sometimes, especially if it's a video or audio thing, prompto just lets it play so he can listen and do whatever else to occupy his hands.

but it's the voice that holds him up, one he knows inside and out, and his heart jackhammers in his chest. oh shit.

what if it isn't him, though. what if — ]

[ but it could be though, right??? it could be someone he knows from back home, finally here with him. selfishly here with him.

keep cool. keep cool. be. cool. ]

Hey, Iggy. [ he thinks he might throw up from anxiety and excitement both. ] Long time no see. [ wait, no. that's so insensitive of him. he's internally screaming right now. ] I mean, um. You know what I mean. Do you know where you are? Did you just get off the train?

Man, that's a long list. Maybe "half the places here'll try to kill ya, steer clear until someone else tests it first"?

[ not that. things trying to kill him has ever really stopped Reno from doing anything... ]

New arrival, huh?

[soupreme]

How is an empty city so dangerous? The only risks I've encountered so far were steep curbs and stairs.

Painfully so.

As others have covered the more pressing issues to be aware of, I will instead offer this: metal should not be placed within the "microwaves."

...In case you, like myself, come from a place without such devices.

[soupreme]

Oh my. I am familiar with such devices, but one can always use a reminder.

[He smothers a chuckle behind his hand.]

To that end, if you ever use a blender? Pulse for a second, stop, and pulse again. Repeat until the texture and consistency meet your standards. Holding down the blend button will not only burn out the motor, but liquify the layer closest to the blades while the surface remains chunky.

Everything's haunted.

[Okay, he's overreacting, but also kind of not?]

Swimming pool and sauna were haunted. Then there was a weird carnival that was creepy, then that turned into a house party that was haunted. [And kinda murdered him, but not? It's weird.]

I really hope you have nerves of steel, my friend.

[soupreme]

I wouldn't claim to have nerves of steal, but it's been a long time since I was afraid of the dark, or anything within it. That said, I've never gone out of my way to experience carnivals or haunted houses. I spent the duration of most horror movies my companions watched washing the dishes, rather than paying attention.

I don't see the point in purposefully scaring oneself when reality is a terror in its own right.

[Brook debates answering for a bit. Is this too revealing? In the end, though, he can't resist the siren call of social media interaction.]

There are lots of people here who aren't human. Or who don't care if someone is or isn't.

[soupreme]

Can you provide and example? I'm afraid my only experience with non-humans is in regards to animals, monsters, daemons, and gods.

I don't believe I would have an issue if someone was human or not, so long as they weren't... a zombie or vampire, whom would see me as a snack in turn.

[abit_ofboth]

Truly I wish they had said anything at all. After all, are we even certain any entity actually brought us here on purpose? I feel everything is still merely guesses.

[soupreme]

I concur.

The questions asked of me were both... strange and seemingly irrelevant, yet I wasn't allowed to leave the station without answering them. Clearly they must have had some importance, unless this is someone's idea of a grand cosmic joke.

[ Well, there sure are a whole lot of things Daniel could answer to a question like that. Especially with how used he is to passing information on to new people here, practically having made it his job.

It makes it pretty much impossible to ignore this message. ]

There's a lot I could say. [ He even admits out loud. ] But I guess if I had to pick one.. Maybe it'd be "don't expect whoever is in charge to give even a little bit more information about what's going on here."

[ Because the lack of information over the months sure has been a major let-down for Daniel. ]
