Heroes have corresponding villains.


Meaning what, exactly?
<Snipped quote by Source>

No, it's just better than relying on arbitrary healing powers that may or may not be inaccessible at any given moment. We do a lot of near-dying here.


Er, why?
<Snipped quote by Source>

Rarely. *Laughs* But every now and then. For example, several members of our team worked together a while back to produce a number of special chambers that could protect and restore most of the members of our little group in a dire situation, suited specifically for each, and that takes up a lot of space in and of itself. It's been used a few times before, too.


Just for the sake of it?
<Snipped quote by Source>

All of what?


This building.
<Snipped quote by Source>

It is in a full-scale mountain. We don't use nearly all of the mountain, however. We have several large hangars and a number of floors with various amenities and useful tools that we've built over the years. State-of-the-art automated medical systems, for example. *Halfway down one of the hallways we walk through, it widens sharply on one side, and in the nook there is a pad with a terminal on the wall; I lead you onto it, step on with you, and hit a button that teleports us a couple of floors down; I lead you out and we continue walking*


How could all of it be useful?
<Snipped quote by Source>

I do in fact. And I have fun.


How large is this place?
<Snipped quote by Source>

*Shrugs* I suppose. We have a collective account for this group, built up by the contributions of members and various rewards and awards for our services to Existence; I could easily use it to buy a house, but I feel no need. I have no need to eat, no need to store clothing, no personal hygiene that is not constantly perfect.


Sounds like you have about everything you need.
<Snipped quote by Source>

They might not have been born with homes. I, for example, was born from the dying goodness of one of the heroes who frequents, but does not live at, this mountain. He's good again, by the way. But because of that, I have no family other than the heroes who frequent this place. So, I live here.


Can't you buy a home?
<Snipped quote by Source>

Heroes! Heroes who don't have a place to sleep, that is.


Why don't they have a place to sleep?
<Snipped quote by Source>

Follow me, then. Did you know that, other than the people in this mountain, this planet is uninhabited? *Stands up and leads you down a hallway, seeming to walk in fairly quick stop motion*


*Follows*
Is it? Who lives on the mountain?
