Oh wow, is this thing really on? Geez, you guys must be really high tech here! Hey, stop me if you've heard this one before, buuuut I think I'm kind of lost. Er, make that really lost, because the last place I was at definitely wasn't some techno-fantasy mansion place. I mean, not that I'm knocking that sort of thing. This place is pretty cool! I wouldn't mind having a thing like this for my own; it could be fun.

— yikes, I'm really getting side-tracked here! So, uh. Would anyone mind helping a guy out and steering me in the right direction? Ahaha . . .

[Tim shrugs. He's sure some people don't really feel like it's a prison. There's enough freedom to make it feel like a person could comfortably live here and not feel trapped, but. When the mansion changes, things start happening...it's not quite as comfortable anymore.]

Look around though, you might find you like it here.

You think? Well . . . what about you? Do you like it here?

Uh...

[...Good question.

On the one hand, this place has mood swings like a pregnant Cthulhu. One minute you're enjoying yourself on an adventure in Super Mario Land and the next the sky is raining fire and all the food is infested with maggots.

On the other hand, he feels. Somehow a lot less alone. He hasn't had any blackouts, no lost time. He can actually stand to be around Jay, and stranger than that, sometimes he finds himself actually wanting to talk to Alex. He's down from one panic attack every other night to one panic attack since the day he arrived here. And there's no sign of That Thing anywhere. Overall, it feels like progress.]

Yeah, I mean. It's tolerable. Could be worse, I guess.
