about the cage

More game transcriptions, specifically about The Cage! NieR:Re[in]carnation is so text heavy for a gacha game and the wiki doesn't document it all, so... this deserves its own post.

ABOUT FIO this leads to a separate journal entry! my text dump for Fio...

Okay, so I figured out what was causing the earthquakes: Apparently there are fireballs (PS: I KNOW, right?) falling from the sky. I thought the towers would all be incinerated, but then a bunch of rivers and waterfalls appeared and the fire vanished. Oh, and after it rained like the dickens for a bit, the tower suddenly turned drier than a desert.

Anyway, here's my working theory: All the fireballs and downpours are some kind of attack (stay with me) from an outside force, and the towers are changing reality in here in order to nullify it. I don't really understand...well, any of it, but I'm actually starting to kinda get used to it. Weird, right? Yeah. Weird.
