Quiet? I wouldn't call it that.

I'd never call this place "quiet". Just quieter...a nice change from the usual hubbub.

Even after someone was killed and broadcasted over the guide?

[ not that he can see it, but dojima is frowning heavily. ]

That seems pretty commonplace around here, sadly.

Doesn't stop people from mourning and posting about it.

But, it doesn't surprise me it happens; it surprises me it doesn't happen even more often.

[ he can't quite understand the concept of such public grief either, which is why he avoids those things. after all, it took him forever to even be able to grieve around his own family, much less hundreds of strangers. ]

People will mourn in their own ways.

What do you think causes all the violence here?

People from very different worlds, with very different powers and very different points of view, are all put together in the same town and forced to live together.

I think that answers your question.

Fair enough. You'd think they could drop the selfishness long enough to work together in a situation like this rather than fight over the pettiest things. But I guess that doesn't matter in a place where death is cheap.

Location does not change what people are. Actually, it'll help to make it worse in some cases.

[Text] justforadrink September 16 2010, 20:47:24 UTC

Then it changes them for the worse. I suppose it would be too much to hope for them to change for the better.

Of course it is. Humans have this horrible predisposition to destroy themselves; under stress they can do it much faster.

[ he's depressingly familiar with that feeling. ]

Then you have to find something in your life that makes it worth living, something other than needless destruction. Sometimes we're just afraid to search.

You can explain that to them all you wish, it'd be like talking to a tree.
