I'm a bit more acclimatized to this world now, but I'm still a bit unfamiliar with things. For example, are there any rules on how one can use abandoned buildings? Back in the world I was living in, I was using an abandoned garage and no one seemed to care. Thought I'd ask before I start looking for buildings that would suit my purposes.

You didn't say for what though.

[jolting]

That is correct. I didn't.

[and he's not going to, either. Way to be super suspicious, Victor]

[supersweet]

So it can be a secret lair.

Or a lab for science experiments.

[jolting]

Both are good options.

[supersweet]

Wait, really?

[jolting]

Sure. I can see people wanting an unused building for either option.

[supersweet]

Yeah, but that's kind of sketchy.

[jolting]

Good idea. Could use it for an art studio.

[supersweet]

That's a bad pun.

[jolting]

But still a good idea. I’ll have to consider it.

[supersweet]

So you don't know what you want to use the space for?

[jolting]

I don't really see a reason to narrow my options down until I can see the space I'll be working with.

[supersweet]

So you don't have ANY idea?

[jolting]

Of course. But I had a lot of space to work with in the garage, and I just want to make sure the buildings have at least that much space.

[supersweet]

Yeah, but why does the building have to be abandoned?

[jolting]

Well, abandoned suggests no one's using it and no one cares to. I have a skill for revitalizing.

[supersweet]

I don't think we have a lot of those. Not in the city.

The forest does, but that's not safe.

[jolting]

Why not?

[supersweet]

Because it's full of monsters. You have to strong to get by on your own.

[jolting]

Monsters don't bother me.

[supersweet]

They're pretty strong. Unless you have powers, you might not be able to manage it.

[jolting]

Noted. Thank you.

[supersweet]

You're welcome. It's not like I want anyone to get hurt.

[jolting]

Is that a common concern?

[supersweet]

I think so? I hear it's quite rough out there. That's why the Perimeter Guard goes out in teams.
