and I need someone to talk to apart from you

Characters: Zo, open
Setting: floor 001
Format: brackets, party-style
Summary: Zo visits the residential levels of the Tower.
Warnings: none so far

[The elevator dings as its doors slide open--that's not an unusual occurrence, really, for a floor that not only houses one of the elevator stopping points but also the most reliable food sources. What's unusual, though, is the boy who steps out of it.

Zo enters the cafeteria, looking around as if he hasn't seen it in some time, which is true. He's followed by one retrieval unit. While she looks as blank as any retrieval unit, her collar is chipped and she wears glasses. In fact, she might be a bit familiar to some, though she will not respond (but there's something... Unusually alive about her, even so).

Though he's careful not to stray far from his bodyguard, he smiles at the floor in general.]

Um... Hi! Wow, it's been a while since I've been up here!

Well, Jason does all the body stuff. He designed the bodies and the fluid and the retrieval units and the worker units. So it'd be something like that, I guess...

[sageprincess]

Yes, that seems to be the common theory. The idea certainly is not deterring those who are planning on boycotting the collar check ups.

[But it can't be that simple, can it?]

... Personally, I am not so sure. Those are the things he knows best, correct? So he would have to be aware of whatever this "key" is, if it were something that could be found in one of those things...

I guess you'd have to get some of the stuff he uses! Something you usually can't, probably, so not the bodies since you've all got those.

[sageprincess]

[An exhale that toes the line between amused and exasperated.]

And there is no way to get those things without forcing our way down to your levels, is there.
