Detonated 4th Wall

[nameofexorcist]

It appears that the population has greatly expanded again.

Remain calm... the last thing Discedo needs is people panicking.

[...He admitted something like that to others? That's odd for him]

...Assistant?

[scienceagain]

That's right. You agreed to it quite a while back... and I think I may need your assistance soon. I have a few new projects in mind.

[He agreed to help a scientist...?]

...What projects?

[scienceagain]

Just a few prototype weapons for those of us without any fighting expertise. It can really get quite perilous in the City... especially as of late.

How long have I been trapped in this other city?

[scienceagain]

Over a year now, if I remember correctly.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

And there have been no clues to escape?

[scienceagain]

No, unfortunately. People simply disappear when they leave, and no one knows how. There's enough in the library there to keep me occupied, but even I'm starting to miss Area 11 and the Lancelot...

[He's stuck in cities a lot...]

...Who brought us to this "City?"

[scienceagain]

None of us really know, I'm afraid. The City seems to have a mind of its own... it's possible there wasn't any person involved at all.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

The City is sentient?

[scienceagain]

It appears to be, yes, as much as I hate to say it...

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[That's different from Discedo...]

Are you aware of the estimated population there?

[scienceagain]

No more than twenty or thirty, it seems, but most of that number is fairly quiet...

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[A small population then...]

...and you are?

[scienceagain]

[Adjusts his glasses and smiles slightly.]

Lloyd Asplund, head of ASEEC Engineering Corps of the Holy Britannian Empire... not that you'd know what that is.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[Nope, he hasn't heard of it before]

And you already know my name and position...

[scienceagain]

Commander Kresnik Ahtreide of Brionac, yes?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

That's correct.

TIME TO BE CREEPY

[scienceagain]

Hmm... You know...

[Adjusts his glasses slightly, the light reflecting off of them and obscuring his eyes for a moment]

You never did explain those nanomachines of yours.

Fffff

...It's unneeded for you to understand the details.

[scienceagain]

[Disappointed face :<]

Ohh, don't be like that, Commander~ Think of all the potential benefits of such research.

/sits on

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

No.

:(

[scienceagain]

You're not even going to give it a minute's consideration?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

My answer won't change.
