Sup!

[venomize]

Um, hello?

[3_hat_day]

Before I begin, might I ask just what you've learned so far?

[venomize]

Just that I've been kidnapped by some people that call themselves scientists, that I'm on another planet, and there are some sort of monsters here ...

(...)

It doesn't matter how many times I say it, it still sounds ... well, ridiculous.

[3_hat_day]

Has that effect. But I promise ya, it's all real and all very dangerous. You either accept it and survive, possibly find a way out or... just refuse and die. Repeatedly.

[venomize]

W-what do you mean, 'repeatedly'?

[3_hat_day]

Exactly what it sounds like.

[venomize]

... but that's impossible.

[3_hat_day]

You gotta get off that "impossible" train you're stuck on.

[venomize]

I suppose ... this situation is just so startling, though.

[3_hat_day]

It is, but you haven't got much choice but to accept it.

[venomize]

So there's really no way out?

[3_hat_day]

Oh there is. We just gotta find it.

[venomize]

I see.

(...)

I-is there anything else I should know about this city?

[3_hat_day]

There is an obscene lack of soda.

okay, I lol'd. VITAL INFO, THERE

[venomize]

Oh, um ... that's really terrible.
