002; rude questions [video/action]
Ladies and gentlemen of the Tranquility, good evening.
[From the video, you can see Albert is seated somewhere in the oxygen gardens, on a wide-open patch of grass. He looks somewhat contemplative.]
I have a-- a somewhat personal question to ask of you all, so don't feel compelled to answer if you don't wish to. [He seems to hesitate, and then he plunges ahead quickly, as if he must ask it before he loses courage.]
How many of you here believed yourselves to have passed away before you woke up in this place?
And-- for those of you who don't want to talk about something quite so morbid, maybe you could tell me what year, or what country, or planet you come from. I'd... really like to hear about other people's homes. As for me-- I'm from Paris, France, the year 5053.
I've also got some tea and plenty of cups to go around here in the garden, if you'd prefer to speak in person. I'd welcome the company, and the chance to meet all of you.

I'd find it harder to believe that there aren't any out there.

[Firo had his negative opinion formed within his first day on the Tranquility.]
no subject
[He has to actually think about it. Losing track of time in this place was all too easy for him.]
A bit over a week, I guess?

[The words sound harsh, but he doesn't mean it to be insulting.]

I've been kidnapped before. I have to say, this version is infinitely preferable.
no subject
[Firo's own kidnapping experience was far from pleasant, but it didn't last anywhere near the months he's spent on the spaceship, and at least his friends were there to rescue him. He can't think of anything worse than being separated from his family.]
I won't ask, but geez. That's gotta be pretty bad if it even compares.

You know, being offered a bed, food, and a slightly less certainty of death is quite comforting really!
no subject
...Yeah, I guess. But I wouldn't say the "comfort" totally makes up for havin' to deal with all the creepy stuff and bein' taken away from home without a chance to fight.

A few weeks ago the elevators got screwed up and started droppin' people into this big mess of hallways. Some people got stuck there for days. When we finally got to the end, there was some lab full of monsters--weird rats and those crazy beast things, too.

Lucky for you, it looks like the elevators are all workin' again. For now.

Got it. I'll be on my guard. ... Thanks.
