[For a second he thinks he's back at Hogwarts. It wouldn't even be that strange to end up there, all things considered. But he quickly realizes, even before the sleep paralysis wears off, that that isn't it, and this isn't any place he's seen before. As soon as he can move he bolts up, instinctively reaching for his wand-- which isn't there, shit. He's not even dressed in the pajamas he was wearing to sleep. Something is definitely going wrong here.

... Is that trunk at the foot of his bed meowing?]



[After finding his cat, but more importantly right now his wand and a change of clothes, Alfred sets off to explore the tower. If you run into him, he looks like he's just wandered out of a LARP. The effect is even more pronounced if you catch him interacting with any of the tower's technology-- he seems both fascinated and utterly perplexed by all of it.]



Eurgh, oatmeal? Don't they have anything better around this place? At least some cereal maybe? Gross.

There's technology to do that?

[tohko_amano]

Well, you see them all the time in stories..and considering the technology levels of this Tower, it's not implausible to say that they do.

[redwhiteandhero]

So what about going out the windows? No one's got anything they can fly on?

[tohko_amano]

There are probably a couple of people here that have flying powers..but if they could use them to fly outside, they probably would have already, so I'm guessing that they can't use them to fly outside the Tower.

As for what's going on outside..it's hard to say. There's a thick layer of fog that covers up the outside world. You can't see much, if anything at all.

[redwhiteandhero]

[He digests all this for a minute.] So how long you been here?

[tohko_amano]

About two months. Why do you ask?

[redwhiteandhero]

Just curious. Seems like you know a lot though.

[tohko_amano]

Well, a lot of new information came in recently..and just a little bit of observation and thinking can pull out a bit more information, which is useful, in a place like this. After all, the Administrators rarely talk to us, and when they do, they lie sometimes, so you have to do your own work sometimes.

[redwhiteandhero]

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[tohko_amano]

Good! Maybe you'll be able to figure out something new if you keep your eyes open. If you find out a way to the Administrators, let us all know, alright? Or a way to get home.

[redwhiteandhero]

Of course! I wouldn't leave anyone behind!

[tohko_amano]

I'm glad to hear that! There are a couple of people around here who might do something like that though..hopefully they won't be the first ones who find out how to get home, when we do learn how.

[redwhiteandhero]

If they do that they're jerks. But then at least we'll know there's a way to do it!

[tohko_amano]

That's true! Even if the Administrators get rid of that one way or try to hide it, we'll know that it is possible to leave here and go home.
