[ akechi isn't particularly fond of reaching out to people in the hotel, but... he's realized it may actually be his best source of information, so he's biting the bullet and posting to the network. he Actually Tries to be polite about it all, so his message is chill. ]

Hello, all.

Since I've arrived here I've been exploring the place, but since it really is so huge... I was hoping I could gather some information from the rest of you.

I'd appreciate hearing about the various floors or rooms you've come across and what was in them. The strangest things you've seen, even.

There's only so much I can discover on my own, unfortunately, and I know that people have had... experiences, to say the least.

The anti-gravity floor is definitely a weird one. It's pretty wild to experience.

There was also one that was basically just like candyland. Everything was edible. Everything.

[laevateinns]

Anti-gravity…

[ OKAY, he admits he’s intrigued about that one. ]

Now, when you say “everything…”

[ WHY DOES THAT SOUND SO OMINOUS. ]

[hexensabbat]

Ground, walls, houses, grass........

[All candy!!]

Don't worry, though. You don't become candy just from stepping onto the floor.

[laevateinns]

[ this is EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT. ]

Good news, I suppose.

Did you try any of it?

[hexensabbat]

Yep. Took a bite out of one of the building walls, and also a tree.

And my companion, to check to see if everything had become candy


[🍎 is typing.......]


Just kidding. I didn't bite anyone.

[laevateinns]

[ ...LISTEN. you can never be too sure. ]

What a relief. [ and if it's sarcastic-- well, it's text. only he has to know. ]

Did it taste unusual at all? Make you sick? I'd hate to imagine you left the floor and then it turned back into tree branches and leaves in your stomach.

[hexensabbat]

Nah, everything's working as expected. Rather than thinking that each floor is its own separate nexus space where things work according to specific rules, it might be best to think of it more like an overall hotel-sanctioned sort of thing.

I imagine so long as we're here, whatever we do here is going to be normal enough for us and our bodies.

[laevateinns]

Hmm...

[ yes he just typed out "hmm" ]

So you're saying we shouldn't think of the floors as being TOO separate, despite how different they are. That's actually a good point; everything is still contained within this hotel, after all.

It really is mysterious, isn't it?

[hexensabbat]

Sure is. There's a lot we don't know about it, and I bet there's even more underneath all of that.

But I feel like digging into those secrets isn't exactly vacation material.

[laevateinns]

[ WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO GET HIM TO TAKE A VACATION.

he doesn't NEED a vacation.

(says guy who absolutely needs a vacation) ]

Maybe discovering the answer to mysterious things IS my idea of a vacation.

[hexensabbat]

[Well, there's a logical, easy question to ask in response to that:]

Is it?

[laevateinns]

[ ha. what a question. ]

I can't say I'm that experienced in vacations. But surely you'd want to do something you enjoy, yes? And I happen to enjoy finding answers.
