2nd Bureau Visit
[Video | English]
[There is a bit of grumbling as the communicator is turned on. Malik was still foreign to it and so it took him some minutes to remember how to use it properly. Pushing buttons did things yes, but if it was the correct thing, he was never quite sure. So he'd keep fiddling around till he thought he had it right. He thinks it's on, not realizing he did video instead of voice, not that it mattered greatly.]
I hear things about a day, it seems to be some sort of celebration? I cannot tell entirely what it is about, the name gives little away for any details. Valentine's day, what is this day exactly?
[The dai looks a bit worn, more tired than anything. He's taken up to trying to keep himself busy, as he has had a difficult time sleeping since his arrival. Not that he was much of a sleeper before. But the familiarity of his bureau made it easier to sleep when he wanted to. Here... it was so alien and strange. He's sitting outside an open doorway, though one can't see too much inside, there is debris and fallen beams and rubble. Broken furniture and the like. His black coat is quite dirty as well. Dusty.]
And what importance does it have for us in this city?
[Malik will then glance up as if something caught his attention, but it was nothing. Probably noises from another room down the hall. He'll look back at the communicator for a second before glancing at the doorway he'd sat by.]
Altair, there are four other rooms on this floor perfectly habitable. Strangely furnished to an extent though they are, there are no signs of anyone staying there otherwise.
[This was a hint. But he wouldn't press the issue. If the other wanted to stay with that crass woman, then let him. He'd leave them to their own devices then. He'll then seem to ponder ending things here, but another question sneaks out.]
There are rooms up here made utterly uninhabitable by some sort of destruction. Does anyone know what caused it? It seems to have happened some time ago, but perhaps there are some who have been here for a prolonged amount of time.
