I don't discuss my friends as a matter of course, but I'll make an exception since you were smart enough to take the beating instead of escalating the situation.
It's a response to his own mental state. It will go in circles until he believes you. Just keep answering the same questions.
There's a portal outside the Theater. The other side of it is in the Up right outside my front door. Take it up. I'll let you in and show you how good the food here can be.
[ With a fruit and sandwich and maybe yogurt, but it's still fantastic compared to the Down or Space. ]
a portal huh? wild to have magic doing these things instead of technology
[ But he'll absolutely take it over the elevator and checkpoints, and doubts that Crais would set up something so elaborate just to fuck with him. ]
I'll be right over
[ It takes him a moment to locate the theater on his device's map, but he gets there quickly... and finds that travel through a portal is more pleasant than a teleporter, for sure. The door he's in front of is to a Nice Place, and he feels a bit scruffy in his Down-thrifted clothes, but there's nothing to do about that.
[ Crais opens the door immediately, and continues to do what he has done with all the Armor People he has met; he immediately hands York the teenage kitten and gets the door shut behind him. ]
The food in the Down isn't good. The food in space is worse. The food up here is decent. Kitchen's that way, grab a seat and do you want coffee, tea or hot chocolate with your sandwich?
[ Ignore the Ephemera painting and galaxy glittery dildo on the walls and neural interface on the mantel. They're never going to actually decorate. ]

just never got past the anger stage of it

I think it's going to take someone he actually trusts to help him move forward

I'm not human and I don't understand manners. What's your excuse?
no subject
I don't have one
I've gotten a little better about it over the years but
it's less that I don't have manners and more that I value honesty over tact
