I guarantee senator, this is in fact real. And not the afterlife.

Lilah? [That name comes back pretty quickly] Er. Miss Morgan, isn't it?

[buryyoualive]

Either one works. But yes, you're correct. I'm Lilah Morgan.

[senatorinspace]

Sorry, I'm trying to wrap my head around all this. It's been almost a year...

[buryyoualive]

I imagine it must be incredibly jarring to be back here then. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

[senatorinspace]

Maybe you could fill me in on what I've missed.

[buryyoualive]

Let's see, the draft was the hot button topic for a while, which I believe you were around for. And then for a while people seemed to be being compelled to do strange things such as sing or kiss people they wouldn't normally be inclined to kiss.

And then a few days ago they had Life Day, which is like their version of Christmas from what I understand.

I guess I'm glad I missed karaoke hour.

[buryyoualive]

Luckily, I wasn't affected, but it did lead to some amusing posts on the datapads.

[senatorinspace]

I suppose that might depend on who you were kissing.

[buryyoualive]

Well of course. There's always that.

I'll pass either way, just the same.

[buryyoualive]

That's what America's all about, right? ... Though I guess saying that here doesn't mean much.
