Oh yes. Of course. First, my head is flooded with dreams that are not my own, and now, now I cannot even get out of the elevator. I am stuck. But of course, no one will help, because no one can, not when the elevator is rude like this, no

You can tell people are human by their hair?

[proudambassador]

It is one sign. Myself, I am not human, and the easiest way to tell is my hair.

[weaver_girl]

A fiery-headed man? Is he by any chance wearing a long black coat?

[proudambassador]

Yes, yes he is. And yes, he is the one I have seen at the bar with you, my good Kagerou.

[weaver_girl]

His name is Axel. Tell him he'd better come home safe or I will kick him in the ankles. And yes, please tell him exactly that.

[proudambassador]

Your wish, it is my command.

[desertshadows]

That's what distinguishes us?

[proudambassador]

The hair is the easiest sign, no? I am hardly going to ask them if they have two hearts. Among other things.

[desertshadows]

I suppose so! It's a little odd you'd choose the one hairstyle, I suppose.

Is that right? What kinds of other things?

[proudambassador]

My hair, it grows straight up. No one else's here does. It is all.. flat. Limp.

There are other anatomy things. [A pause. While he'd be very amused to enlighten Eagle on some more intimate anatomy, he won't do that on the journals.] My wrists, if they are cut, they will not bleed like those of Earthers. Our veins, they are not like that there. My teeth are sharp. I have... spots, faint, near my hairline.

[magical_bosom]

You have been caught by the elevator, good ser? It seems to me to be a product of artifice. Isn't there someone available then to repair it?

[proudambassador]

I have been caught, yes, myself and three others, trapped in this wretched thing. This has happened before to others, and no one repairs it. I think there is someone out there laughing whenever it traps, no? Mocking, gleefully enjoying this.

[magical_bosom]

You speak as if it isn't a unique event. It's something that cannot be counteracted?

[proudambassador]

It is not. Myself, I have seen it happen a few times, and I have been here very nearly a year.
