This question and answer session was obviously hastily-planned. Ruana isn't here, but the others are, though for the most part they don't look quite at their best. Zo looks half asleep and distracted, having slid his chair close enough to the wall that he can lean on it to catch a bit of extra sleep in the middle of this session. Jason, usually improbably neat for his often messy, bloody profession looks wrinkled and tired, like he's been spending one too many nights in surgery. Dax looks entirely exhausted, and every time the lights in the cafeteria flicker that exhaustion only seems to grow worse as he looks more concerned. Only Riki seems himself--but then again, he's always been stoic and silent, so reading him in general is a difficult task. It's Dax who speaks once enough people are assembled.

"Greetings, residents--I'm sure you know the four of us by now. And guests, welcome--you probably don't know of us. I'm Dax, and these are Riki, Jason, and Zo." Dax gestures to each one in turn. "We are four of the administrators of this Tower. As you may have guessed, we weren't exactly planning on visitors, and you weren't brought through the same channels. Still, we thought this would be a good time to answer a few questions. With the network--down--we have opted to speak to you in person."

"If you try to attack us, you'll regret it," Jason says from his seat, and while Dax looks sidelong at him neither man can seem to muster the energy for a proper verbal sparring.

"Okay, the floor is open to questions," Dax says, just barely managing a smile. "We will answer what we can."

"Nah, it's okay! You're just a little guy, it's no big deal." ...Okay, he'll half-watch Zo while glancing at Jason every few seconds, he'll be a little less rude. "How long have you been able to do that? Bring people places."

"Ummm... It's sort of like I feel where you are and I pull you!" Zo said, reaching and grabbing at the air with his hands to demonstrate. "The machines help but I didn't make those."

Jason is sitting silently; if he realizes he's being watched he hasn't reacted.

Rude, Jason. You never returned his calls. Bloody hearts sent through the request box. Whichever.

"You're pretty talented." Ryuunosuke mimics the motion, but as he's not a ridiculously overpowered NPC, it does nothing. "Who made the machines for you?"

[animusnpcs]

"Riki did!" Zo said, perking up a bit as he got to explain. "He makes lots've stuff."

[kindofademon]

"Huh~ That's pretty cool." There's no language barrier, but by God that 'cool' is trying to make there be one just to be gratuitously Engrish. "How does it work?"

"Um, I don't know..." Zo looks a bit downcast. "It's fit so I can see things and pull things from lots of places?"
