A guy with a gun for an arm?
Whoa. That's pretty cool.
I don't think I've heard either of those names before.
I'll keep an eye out though!
Can you describe the house you're in?

Re: text; @zd

[powersouls]

Thank you!
I'm not sure where it is, but it's mostly collapsed. There are a few houses, but everything else looks destroyed.

[swatsflies]

There are a lot of places like that.
Get the files @spoiler shared in a response to the @admin.
There is a lot of information to go over, but it's useful!

[Because it's long, the next part is sent in a second message.]

Things to keep in mind-
make sure you're inside before dark.
This place has a curfew and it can lock you out at night if you don't make it.
Monsters are here but you can't really touch them.
Punching. Hitting. Throwing things... doesn't hurt them.
They are trying to eat people and it's messed up. BIG TIME.
They can also open windows and will wait outside a house for you for HOURS.

[powersouls]

[Well, that is a horrifying rundown.]

They can open windows? What do they look like? And what locks us out?

[swatsflies]

[Sorry but he had to run from one last night.]

Yeah. They try to get in through the door and when that fails they go for the window.
Each one seems to be different.
Just run from anything that isn't wearing clothes and doesn't talk normal.
The one I ran into had tentacle. Worst than a Marlboro, man.
The houses locks up automatically.
All the walls are made from metal.

[powersouls]

[All of that is really useful, and she files it away. But then he mentions a Marlboro!]

There are Marlboros where you're from, too?

[swatsflies]

Yes. I have them in my world.
Oh. Sorry. I forget they aren't normal for other worlds.

WAIT. You have Marlboros???

[That's what she asked, Zell. Good job.]

[powersouls]

Yes!

[Are they from the same place, then? That would be crazy.]

I'm from Midgar. What about you?

[swatsflies]

Balamb.

[Would have been cool if they were!]

I don't remember a Midgar where I'm from.
Does Draw Points, Aether, or Mako sound familiar to you?

[powersouls]

I've never heard of Balamb. We have Ethers, and we use Mako for energy. What are Draw Points?

[swatsflies]

[Not from Sir Frenchie's world or his. But Mako and Ethers were things from Zack and Kain's world.]

Draw points are places in the ground where magic leaks out.
I was told about Mako by a couple of friends.
They talked about materia, too.

[powersouls]

Really? What were their names?

[swatsflies]

Zack and Kain.
Kain is very informative. You can check older messages on the tablet to see his video on how to open a can.
Zack is pretty cool!

[Even if he dances with cactuars.]

[powersouls]

[Kain has been the opposite of informative for her! But she's going to check out those videos, anyway. Zack is a common name, so that isn't going to be recognizable just yet.]

I don't think I've met either of them back home. What's your name?

[swatsflies]

[He would be lying if he was surprised. Not that he would recognize every person who could come from his world, but Zack seems the type to be known or something. Well, Zell thinks he SHOULD be known.]

I'm Zell Dincht. I'm a SeeD Rank A.
What's your name?

[powersouls]

I'm Tifa Lockhart. Nice to meet you.
What's SeeD?

[swatsflies]

[He'll just use the text book definition for SeeD.]

SeeD is a code name for Balamb Garden's elite mercenary force.
It's nice to meet you too, Tifa.

[powersouls]

Oh, I see. Have you been here long?

[swatsflies]

About ten days.
Some people have been here a whole hell lot longer.
It sucks, but there are a lot of nice people.
It makes it a lot more tolerable.
Anything else you would like to know?
I know all the lists people have compiled is a lot to look at.
I'm still not finished looking through it all.

[powersouls]

That's all I can think of for now. Thank you for all your help, Zell. Stay safe, okay?

[swatsflies]

Okay! I'll do my best. Stay safe, too!
