☽ III: video

[inabluemoon]

[The video turns on to show a view of the apartments of Level 2 from what seems to be a fairly high vantage point looking down, as if the device is on a roof. While the user isn't visible on camera those familiar with Vanitas will probably recognize the doctor's voice.]

So many of you are fine with accepting that there's no way out of this place. Are you that easily distracted and complacent about being used by the Prismals? Do you just not have anything to go back to? Or maybe you just don't have something that this damned place is keeping you from doing...

[He laughs bitterly before stopping just as abruptly, voice dipping to almost a whisper.]

... Tch. Why am I wasting my breath?

[The video abruptly ends.]

[...yeah, well, he’s not gonna dispute that...]

If the option to go back and fix things presents itself, I’m going to take it, obviously. But that seems less and less likely the more I hear from people who’ve left and returned.

Maybe it’d be different if we figured out how to do it voluntarily. I’d like that better to begin with.

[inabluemoon]

I wouldn't have a problem with it being voluntary either. It would be foolish to turn down the opportunity to study some of the things this world has, but I'm not going to sit here and be an unwilling test subject when I have unfinished business.

[bloodisthicker]

I'll agree with you there. It'd be nice to take as much information as possible back home in order to ensure things go smoothly for my world. I learned a few things that I'm sure would help, you know.

[inabluemoon]

I don't doubt it. While my world has made leaps in technology over the last century or so it's still nothing compared to what's available here.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, definitely. I'm certain we'll get here eventually, but it'd be nice to accelerate things, wouldn't it?
