It took me a while to get the hang of [...] whatever this thing is. I understand the necessity for holding people quarantine upon arrival, considering past events. You'll have no difficulties with me, I assure you.

	Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 01:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm quite well. Attempting to figure this place out. What do they call this contraption? On another matter. How are you, Ysmir? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	They call it a computer. Fascinating, isn't it? I'm fine. The other displaced here have been quite nice, though some of the occurrences here have been... strange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 02:15 pm UTC (link)
	Hm. Fascinating is certainly one way of describing it. I think I would go with frustrating and inconvenient, because I can't actually see or talk with you. Good. I would hate to make enemies before getting out of here. Strange, how? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	I'll see if I can come visit you. It was quiet for a while after I'd gotten here... but then we had a bout of flying monkeys, and now we have these creatures called Gremlins wandering around. I've killed a few of them. They're rather destructive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	You would be a welcome sight. Flying monkeys? That's new. However, we've seen plenty of strange and destructive things in Skyrim. Once I get out of here I'm going to have to catch up on your total. How many have you killed so far? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The same to you.

Aye, we have. But with the way things are going, they may all be gone soon. They started off as these creatures called Mogwai which weren't so bad. Everyone received one to be kept as a pet but there are specific rules to keeping one and the Mogwai are tricksy little things. Some of them ended up turning into what they are now - the gremlins. The people of the town here have been going out and hunting down the Gremlins before they can do anymore harm. My little one is still a Mogwai - I've been keeping it in my cellar out of the light. They can't take bright light, they apparently spawn more if they get wet, and if they eat after midnight, they turn.

	That's a shame. By the time I get out of here they could be all gone. Oh well. Another prey, another time. However, if you've still got yours when I'm out you'll need to get it wet and let it multiply so I can catch up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	I've been thinking of handing mine over. There's a group of people here that have established a containment/quarantine for the Mogwai that haven't become Gremlins, yet. Lakeview Manor is here, I should probably mention. That's where I've been staying. You know you're more than welcome to join me once your two days in that room are over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Still, such a shame. Oh well. If this place is as strange as you claim I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more oddities. I would hate to impose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure we will. And if we do, we'll make a wonderful team, as we always have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	That we will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	Is there anything you need? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	I appear to have all the necessities. Do they have instructions for using the bathroom? It's all very... new. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~By the gods, I didn't expect that.~~

PRIVATE
There's something that looks like a chair filled with water. Since you're mortal again you're going to need that quite a lot more than you're used to. Sit on that chair, do your business, and then push the silver lever down to replace the water.
After you're done, wash your hands in the basin. There's a lever to turn on the water and some soap to rid your hands of germs. The water may get hot depending on how far left the handle is turned, so be mindful of that. If the water is hot enough, it could hurt to touch.

	[Private] Centuries as an immortal make you forget such things. This place is also very modern, from what I can tell. I'll keep this all in mind. Thank you, Ysmir. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private: dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	It's very modern. Several people were interested in my forge. You're welcome. I know it must be a strange transition after so long. Are there any foods you're partial to? I'd like to get a stockpile of it going here so you have it when you come home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private nomorecaves 2017-11-05 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	That's no surprise. You forge the best weaponry I've seen to date. It is. I've not missed [...] certain things. Transioning is not simple. I will sample what they have available and let you know what I like best. Home. That's a word I haven't used in a long time and actually liked it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Private dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	You must look at a lot of weaponry. There should be some things in that room to entertain yourself with. Or you can read over the debriefing packet and learn about the place we're in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private nomorecaves 2017-11-05 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	So you don't want the compliment. I take it back. It's all absolutely atrocious. I shall never use your weapons, for my hand is much too good for them. So I've found. I'm content watching them test my blood for now. One can ever be too careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Private dovahkiin_ 2017-11-05 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	It's a good thing we jest with each other so often or I might have thought you serious. I appreciate your compliment, nonetheless. Truly. They just want to make sure you don't have anything that could get the other residents here sick. I'm assuming you don't have Ataxia or Rockjoint, hm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private nomorecaves 2017-11-05 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	I like to make you think that~ You're quite welcome. Good. Coming from you that makes me feel better about this process. I have neither. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	timidwitch 2017-11-05 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	I guess there was a bug that made people really sick so it's just a precaution. I had to do it recently, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	That's what they told me. I understand. I'd rather not contribute to more deaths. What did you do with your time in here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-05 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	I talked to people on the network. Made arrangements for where I'd live. When my friend was stuck in here, I came to visit her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	How about that. I've just made arrangements with my friend above. He also has plans to visit me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-05 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	See, it works out in the end! I'm Tara. Are you from an Earth like this? Do you know yet? I know you're in a box. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-05 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	It's very fortunate my dear friend is here. Lovely to neet you, Tara. I am Serana. I'm from a planet called Nirn. I suppose I'll find out what it's like when I get out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-06 02:27 am UTC (link)
	My friends were here too. I'm glad, I don't know what I'd do otherwise. Nirn. You don't have technology like this thing there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-06 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Very good. I'm glad for you. No, we do not. This is all very new and strange to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-06 03:00 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad for you! But I like making new friends. I'm sorry... but it's pretty cool, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-06 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	No need for apologies. Strange things happen. It's certainly different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-06 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	What sort of strange things happen to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-06 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	For one, I used to be a vampire. I was cured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-06 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	I knew a vampire! Actually, a lot of them. But only one was good. His name was Spike. How'd you get cured? That would have been handy for us in Sunnydale. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nomorecaves 2017-11-06 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	There aren't many good vampires in Skyrim, either. I wasn't awake during the ritual, so unfortunately I can't say. It was Falion who cured me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timidwitch 2017-11-06 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	I wonder if I could find a ritual like that in one of my books. Not like there's many magic books here in Tumbleweed... (Reply to this) (Parent)
