All that work and nothing to show for it. The casino remains out of bounds, I presume?

I wonder how many lives one has in this place before you run out of tries. Is there anyone here who's given their lives up more than once?

Oh. I thought you and Aerith--?

N...never mind. I would be honoured. Th..thank you very much Sir.

...I do believe it's traditional for the Director to bring new Turks out for a meal or a drink. Team building. [He may be making this up, who knows?]

Would you like to pick a place?

Private; Voice blonde_neophyte July 9 2009, 09:36:00 UTC

Tradition?

[Barely audible sigh] I see now. But still, I'm certainly not going to say no to a nice meal.

There's a place at the northern end of the main shopping district that serves something called "Italian". It's kind of Mideel-ish, I think.

Y...es.

[He doesn't quite know how to respond to the sigh, so he doesn't]

I can't say no to Mideel food. Even Mideel-ish food. Is this evening convenient for you?

I'm not sure about off-limits. But it's so weird. Every time I go inside I get impossibly lost and disoriented-- find myself back outside.

Something screwy's going on in there.

Hey, what's this about dying and coming back...?

That does appear to be the case... I doubt it's an accident either. My guess would be that someone is deliberately trying to keep us out.

Ah. You're new to Nuadoria, then?

pickn_pockets July 8 2009, 22:49:04 UTC

I'm not so sure it could be deliberately keeping us out indefinitely. Unless it's implicitly stated "keep out" it sounds like whatever's doing the screwy stuff might want something else.

Toying with us? Who knows. Crazy experiments? Maybe.

New enough not to know details like dying not being permanent. I'll keep that in mind.

You sound remarkably unfazed by the thought of being used as an experiment.

I see. What's your name?

Don't go pushing that nine-life theory.
