Romeo came out of one of the bathrooms carrying the bucket of cleaning supplies. He had almost finished his job for the day and he was glad because then he could go and check that his friends were okay! Bad things were happening again, and people were acting strange and writing on the walls. Romeo had thought about writing something nice, but he knew that sometimes the tower made nice things bad.

And he didn't want to risk it. So he had concentrated on making sure his friends had enough food since the food in the cafeteria was bad again and checking that no one was hurt too much. He hummed as he skipped down the corridor, just one bathroom to go!

A moment later he let out a scream of rage and dropped the bucket, chemicals and water spilled everywhere, pooling round his bare feet but he didn't seem to care as he pulled his makeshift knife from his pocket and ran down the corridor towards the nearest room, towards people.

Romeo nodded and then tilted his head. "Not really sir. I've never heard of anything like it before but everyone's from different worlds and a lot of the worlds are really strange, but there are probably bits of my world that sound strange to people as well."

He had been in the tower almost two years, hero souls were just as normal as magic or bad towers full of monsters.

"That is very true. You are quite smart for someone your age, Romeo. I appreciate you being so accepting. I am sure others do as well," Diarmuid smiles at him, crouching down so he can be closer to the boy's level. He really hates talking down to people, "May I ask what your world is like?"

Romeo beamed, happy that Diarmuid had called him smart. "It was really big and had lots of countries, and I didn't go to many places but my village was called Sonogno and was in Ticino, before I came here I went to work in Milano which is in another country called Italy! There was no magic there or super fast things like race cars but there was things called steam trains and I never went on one but my friend Angeletta did and they go really fast!"

"Yes, I recall now that you mentioned some of those names at my party. As you may remember, I am from Ireland, though a version of Ireland I believe is far distant time-wise from your own." Indeed, if Diarmuid had to guess from what the boy is saying, his world is from the past as well. Not so far as Diarmuid's own, but still pretty far back, "With how modern things are here, was it hard for you to get use to?"

Like modern technology really is the hardest thing to deal with in this place...

"A little bit, but lots of people helped me and showed me to use the computers and things." He smiled.

"That's good! I have a friend who is working on making some guides for the computer terminals. He would like to place one at each terminal so that people can have them to reference. Don't you think that will be a good idea? It certainly will help people like you and I who come from times where technology was less common," Diarmuid reaches up and pats the boy on the head. "But I should go let you rest now. Good luck with your Network post!"

"That is a good idea! That would help lots of people." He grinned and then nodded sleepily. "Thank you mister Diarmuid." He smiled and entered his room, clambering up onto his bed, he was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
