Well, nice to see everyone having such a good time lately.

Tch. It's a regular party out there.

[permavoice]

[freedominthesky]

Dull moments never last long here. One minute there's nothing, the next, scandals and chaos abound.

[apocalypsesaber]

It's stupid, but it's everywhere, not just in this city. People will jump to anything if it supports what they were already thinking.

[freedominthesky]

Talking about a particular instance, are we?

[apocalypsesaber]

Tch. Maybe.

["It's that obvious?"]

[freedominthesky]

I'll consider that a "yes." Not really a rare opinion though, from what I've seen.

[apocalypsesaber]

Pathetic. [There's anger at the edge of her voice. Anger at the world, anger at herself.] People need to learn to think for themselves.

[freedominthesky]

Ah, but if they did that, the people pulling their strings wouldn't know what to do with themselves. Can't have that, can we?

All jokes aside, that's something easier said than done.

[apocalypsesaber]

Tch. True. [Oh Balthier. She likes you already.]

I know. But it can be done.

[freedominthesky]

On an individual basis, perhaps, but do you really expect everyone to suddenly come to the same conclusion all at once?

[apocalypsesaber]

Not really. They're mostly too set in their ways for that.

[freedominthesky]

Most people are.

Now, because I enjoy a good story, mind telling me what that particular experience you dodged around earlier was?

[apocalypsesaber]

Only if it gets a return story.

[And even then, she won't tell of her involvement.]

[freedominthesky]

Fair enough. [though he can't say how much he'll tell, either]

[apocalypsesaber]

The government choosing a group of people to hate, tell lies about, and convince the rest of the population that if they come into contact with these people, they'll be contaminated, too. And then all the contaminated people are Purged.

[freedominthesky]

Business as usual, then?
