Imagine my surprise wakin' up here in hallucination land to stand in line for a fuckin' computer. Or was it to get in? Fuck if I know, I was hopin' the map on this thing had an exit. According to the one person I've run into so far with personality, there ain't one.

So, since I gotta wait for these status effects to wear off where is a guy to go for an imaginary stiff drink? And do I need money, or do you use leaves here? I noticed they were in short supply, what with the fake trees and shit.

[Could he sound any more disinterested? Probably not, Seifer is fairly convinced he's hallucinating still.]

[maybeimaleon]

You try being here for months and see where it gets you.

[voice]

[firacrux]

I don't intend to. Just passin' through, Leonhart.

[Yes, because he's so certain on how to get out. Right.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

You can't.

[voice]

[firacrux]

People keep sayin' that.

[This is his hint for an explanation from someone he'll actually listen to. Briefly.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

What have you heard already?

[Hint received. But he's gonna need to know where to start, first.]

[voice]

[firacrux]

You know, the usual. We're prisoners on a nice fuckin' holiday in this weird ass city with no chance of parole.

[He's hoping Squall can shed a little more light on the situation.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

Paixao. The city is called Paixao. It's one of the 'floors' in a castle, or so we've been told. No one's been able to get outside of the castle to check.

[voice]

[firacrux]

Right, the castle was mentioned. What's the deal with this? Trapped in a city in a castle for... what the fuck reason? And what the hell am I supposed to do now? What d'you mean no one's gotten outside to check?

[Because, you know, he's kind of at a loss here.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

[Yeah, that's a sigh.]

This is the first floor. The next floor is another world, and the next after that is still another world. There isn't an 'out' yet.

[voice]

[firacrux]

Yet?

[Now you've got his attention, Squall. What is this yet stipulation?]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

There's supposed to be a way out on the thirteenth floor.

[pause]

And before you ask, no, you can't get to that floor.

[voice]

[firacrux]

[Squall knows him too well.]

Why's that?

[He's asking anwyay.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

It's a prison castle, Seifer. Why would the doors be easy to find?

[voice]

[firacrux]

Point taken.

[A pause.]

Anyone else we know here?

[Just, you know, curiosity.]

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

Just Rinoa.

[voice]

[firacrux]

[Possible cursing, it's muffled but entirely likely.]

Let me guess, no one knows why we're here, right?

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

[Yeah, he hears that mumbling.]

Not for sure.

[voice]

[firacrux]

Theories?

[voice]

[maybeimaleon]

Most of them blame the Organization.

[Voice]

[firacrux]

Should I know what that is?

[Voice]

[maybeimaleon]

They're supposed to be the ones behind this place.

[Voice]

[firacrux]

That ain't helpin' me know who they are, Leonhart.

[Voice]

[maybeimaleon]

They aren't people you want to meet.

[Voice]

[firacrux]

Right.

[Might takes his advice. Might. Depending on his mood.]

[Voice]

[maybeimaleon]

[There's a pause before Squall speaks up again.]

They've been known to experiment on people.
