You wonder where to start; what information might be valuable.
Ultimately, you decide to tell them everything you can remember, just in case.
"This place is unpredictable and does not generally make sense.
I've had doors close and lock behind me, for one.
When I awoke I was facing a fountain through a window in a snowy landscape, but I've also seen different climates, weather, and times of day through windows in different rooms as well as when going 'outside' myself.
Nothing was consistent, as if it was all built for looks only; just set dressing, like a theme park.
Some windows also seem to lead out to the ground floor, despite those rooms being on higher or lower floors from each other comparatively, which obviously doesn't line up spatially."
"Speaking of, do you also have a sort of... mental map?
More than just picturing a layout in your head, I mean. I'm able to build a detailed map as I navigate.
I've had it since waking up."
"I also believe color may hold some significance.
One of the first rooms I found had eight pedestals, with seven small spheres of different colors.
I was only able to leave when I went upstairs to a similar, mirrored room and retrieved a sphere from there to then place on the empty pedestal downstairs.
The spheres were blue, teal, purple, yellow, orange, pink, and red, and the one I had to move was green, like myself.
There was a floating, orb-shaped machine patrolling an alleyway that emitted a red light, like yourself.
I also noticed what I believe was an aerosoul with purple eyes - high on a platform above me - in a room with waterfalls just before I reached this room.
I waved at them, but they were gone when I looked back."
"I made it here through a tunnel I crawled through, just down this hallway.
It had a large, plastic cube concealing its entrance, which I had to move.
...Also, what pronouns do you use?"
An awkward silence permeates the air for a few moments as the chorosy simply stares blankly back at you.
"That's... a lot of info.
Probably more than I needed, but that's my bad."
"I don't have a 'map', but something else along those lines.
Same as you; had it since I woke up."
"That 'red orb machine' you mentioned: I turned that on by accident.
Nudged it with my foot while walking through there. I saw it float and that red light and just got out of there.
Might be red 'cause I turned it on, or could just be a coincidence."
"Either way, color definitely seems like a pattern.
Those colored spheres; I also ran into something similar right at the beginning, but I got locked out of those rooms when I left.
Same with the fountain in the snow."
"You're the first person I've seen, though, so I don't know about anyone purple.
I know I'm not going the way you saw them, though.
Until I know what's going on, the less people I run into, the better.
Someone must've done this to... us, so I wouldn't trust anyone, if I were you."
They turn around and pull back the curtain to leave, but hesitate.
"...You can tag along if you want.
I don't really trust you much, but I'd say we have better odds of making it out with two of us.
And I bet that mental map you've got could help a lot with finding a way out; I've been managing best I can, but navigating this place is confusing as hell.
Us both going through that same alley, taking different routes, and ending up in the same place says to me that it'd be easy to go in circles, or get lost.
So... we could stick together til we find an exit, if you want.
Your call, since I'm on the fence about it."
"And pronouns, just... they is fine, I guess.
Wish I could remember if that's what I used to use, but it works for now.
You?"
