I can read it, though it would have been easier if it wasn't so messy.

That sounds like what happened to me, the walls turned into a maze and now I'm in some sort of small dark room. I guess we weren't supposed to be wandering around in the dark. Would have been nice to know that from the start, huh?

Oh well. It's not the end of the world.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*So, yes, it is the end of the world.*

[cellwave]

Oh.

[Hmm. Well that changes things.]

I guess I should be actively trying to get out instead of playing my tenth game of solitaire, then.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

there'2 no way out.

[cellwave]

Not even through the walls?

[thii2ii22tupiid]

ii'm pretty 2ure you can't get through them anyway.
