Oh yes. Of course. First, my head is flooded with dreams that are not my own, and now, now I cannot even get out of the elevator. I am stuck. But of course, no one will help, because no one can, not when the elevator is rude like this, no

You have been caught by the elevator, good ser? It seems to me to be a product of artifice. Isn't there someone available then to repair it?

[proudambassador]

I have been caught, yes, myself and three others, trapped in this wretched thing. This has happened before to others, and no one repairs it. I think there is someone out there laughing whenever it traps, no? Mocking, gleefully enjoying this.

[magical_bosom]

You speak as if it isn't a unique event. It's something that cannot be counteracted?

[proudambassador]

It is not. Myself, I have seen it happen a few times, and I have been here very nearly a year.

[magical_bosom]

I see. That's more worrisome, then. Thank you.

[proudambassador]

They return. Or they have. So far as I know. I have never known someone to not return, no.

[magical_bosom]

My prayers for your safe return, then, good ser. You have been helpful.

[proudambassador]

I am not sure that we share something to pray to, but the thought, it is appreciated.

[magical_bosom]

I would think us all the Maker's creatures in some way.

[proudambassador]

The Maker. [There's a long pause, with the pen resting on the paper for a while before he writes again.] Not the Great Maker, hm?

[magical_bosom]

I do not know. It seems familiar when I see you write it.

[proudambassador]

The Great Maker, that is the one that seems familiar to me, and so I wonder.

[magical_bosom]

I'm sorry I cannot tell you more than that. It was a name I heard in my dream, and it... comes to my mind when I consider the matter of faith.

[proudambassador]

It is no matter. I do not have it in my dream, and I have not heard it. It simply pokes, yes? At the back of one's mind.

[magical_bosom]

That's a rather apt description of it, yes.

[proudambassador]

I thank you for the compliment.
