[[LOCKED TO LUCETI RESIDENTS]]

[malnosso]

All right, I can read between the lines as well as the next person.

Ask me anything you want and I'll try and give you the straightest answer I can. Just don't ask, "why are you doing this," I don't have all day.

...I know that.

That wasn't what I asked.

[malnosso]

Unlikely, but I've been working on that already.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Are there any other unifying features given to those who are brought here? Something must be at work that allows everyone to be affected regardless of where they came from.

[malnosso]

The barcodes, naturally. Though I doubt you'd have any success with that, either.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Well, the technology capable of tampering with it safely is with you, but if the Malnosso can do it, it is not impossible for tampering to occur.

[malnosso]

You seem awfully confident in your ability to tamper with what you don't understand. Are you that eager to die?

Or do you believe you're a living corpse already and have nothing to lose?

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

I'm not eager to die. I want to put my skills with working with technology to good use. I want to help everyone here.

W-what of it?

[malnosso]

Your skills are useless if you lack the technology to work with.

If you lack the will to live, I'd be glad to take you on as one of my specimens. The unwilling are so difficult to work with sometimes.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Technology had to be created somehow.

I don't lack the will to live, but if I'm already dead, I want to put my body to good use.

[malnosso]

Good luck finding components to make it, then.

What's your name, boy?

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

I hope I won't need it.

Why do you want to know?

[malnosso]

Heh heh heh.

My own records, of course. Your willingness to help your fellows may be useful later on.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

How foreboding.

To what purpose? Are you merely going to experiment on me in their stead?

[malnosso]

You'll get used to it.

Are you prepared to risk your life for them, if that's the case?

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Am I only going to be a meaningless sacrifice, or will it actually do them good?

[malnosso]

Oh, I'm certain I can make use of you, alive or dead.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

You're not the one I'm concerned about.

[malnosso]

Let me put it this way.

Helping me will inevitably help them. I make no promises to when, however. That's just a risk you'd have to decide to take.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

But in the long run, helping you will help them, correct?

[malnosso]

Correct.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

[There is a long pause as he contemplates this.]

...My name is Faize. Faize Sheifa Beleth.

[malnosso]

Faize Sheifa Beleth. Excellent.

I'll be in touch.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

....Very well.
