I write this in the hope that it is received by sincere eyes. To those who may read my words I implore that you respond to them

Welcome to Paradisim, your new prison, I guess.

[adiaphonus]

What an intriguing name for a city as such.

You welcome me and imply a loss of freedom in one sentence.. Hmm. Do you consider yourself imprisoned here, my good man?

[saotomealto]

That is correct.

A pilot without an access to the sky always consider himself imprisoned.

[adiaphonus]

When freedom is taken away by force it can be restored by force. If it is merely relinquished by an individual's personal emotion then there is no fight to be won.

You were a pilot. Where did you serve?

You have my name, may I take yours?

[nicecollarbones]

You're, ah... trapped in a city that's trapped in a cage.

[adiaphonus]

So I can see.

Is there anything else that you can think would be of interest to a newcomer such as I? Are you acquainted with any other inhabitants?

[nicecollarbones]

Well, I've only arrived pretty recently myself... Um, most of the stuff like food and clothing is free here, and I think so are lodgings. It also looks like everybody here is trapped the same way as you and I.

Oh, and apparently there is a maze that appears every couple of weeks. We just went back to normal a day ago.

[adiaphonus]

The resources of this world are not controlled by a conglomerate of greed, yet people speak of no freedom.

Are there any signs of war in this region that you have seen?

That is peculiar, dare I say. Your name, good man?

[perkyassasin]

Oh, wait I remember you! You were the Soldier Director!

[adiaphonus]

Quite true, that I am. Do I have the privilege of speaking to a fellow member of the ShinRa Corporation?

[perkyassasin]

Oh, I'm elena. I'm a member of the Turks. Or at least, I used to be...

Private

[adiaphonus]

An ex-Turk. My, what a privilege. I have already conversed with a Senior of yours.

[chrematistic]

What a surprise, Director Deuserius.

//Private

[adiaphonus]

Oh, so that is how this communication device works.

My thanks to you..?

Re: //Private

[chrematistic]

Indeed.

I am Rufus ShinRa...but you may address me as President ShinRa, Director.

//Private

[adiaphonus]

Ah, Vice-President ShinRa.

..my apologies.

You are President of.. a corporation here in Paradisim, President?

[thehalcyon]

It was about time. So they say.

[adiaphonus]

I do consider myself quite prompt. Would you grace me with a favour and tell me who else is here?

[thehalcyon]

Only those you expect to be here, Director.

[adiaphonus]

There is only Mr. Fair and General Sephiroth as far as I can ascertain... aside from yourself and President Rufus ShinRa, of course.

I would not expect, but hope, for more.
