I'd like to keep this as efficient as possible, so I don't plan on talking your ear off.

Call me Daan. I'm a doctor. That should about cover all you need to know about me.

So, first question: is there already a clinic arranged by someone here? Have there been any injuries on top of there being a willing killer out there? Illnesses or whatever else. I can probably help you, even a little.

Second question: who has been here since the start of this whole mess of being trapped in a part of this city? Ideally, I'd like someone who can be informative, but I'm not overly picky.

Honestly, it's tough to say, but this city does have a weird mix of "lived in" and manufactured feeling to it. Kind of messed up that way. Not a single bug or bird, but it also looks like there's typical signs of people having been here once. It's weird.

My first thought was something otherworldly going on. Now I'm not 100% sure, to be honest. Usually I expect some kind of asshole to explain his grand plan by now or whatever, but we're totally in the dark.

There were people here before us, that much is clear. And I can only assume that whatever happened to them, the people who run this place intend to happen to us as well, whatever that may be. Who knows? Maybe this is merely a holding pen before we find out what this is really about.

Shame we can't find anything that includes people's names. Not a single bit of paper to be had there.

Well. Either way, I suppose there's only so much speculation one can do until whoever our captors are will play their hand.

[aceslow]

Yes, for the most part, speculating is just what's keeping us from going insane. [ Kim offers him a crooked smile at that, knowing full well how much they've failed at that task. ] There's the temptation to say that if we can predict something, we're better equipped to deal with it... but I highly doubt that.

In any case, your suggestion is among the better I've heard. If we can't sort out the mystery behind this place, we can at least sort out how to make it safer.

I was underprepared the last time I was in a strange and fucked up situation. If I can make even an inch of difference by making sure people have somewhere or someone to turn to, then I'll call it an accomplishment.

But I appreciate your insight as well. Didn't catch your name?

[aceslow]

Kim Kitsuragi. Good to meet you, Daan. I don't suppose the last strange and fucked up situation you were in bore any resemblance to this one?

[limbical]

A pleasure, then.

Only some similarities. Being stuck in a town without being able to escape is the closest similarity, but that's about where it ends. Comparatively, this has been a vacation here. Not that I'm enjoying it, but hopefully you understand the implication.
