I think you have a point. I think it's the attitude that this place is just a temporary thing that creates apathy. That's why people don't stick up for others as much as they should. They don't think that getting involved means anything.

Some people do get involved with others, yet still keep them at a distance from themselves by various means.

It's almost as if they feel that if you aren't from the same world then you are not worthy of knowing them.

I'm sure this isn't their intention or goal, but, just the same. This is where we all are, this is where we are living. We ought to actually live here.

I just wish it didn't seem like the worst ones here could act with total impunity to consequences.

Why wouldn't they be able to. We're like cattle as far as they could be concerned. And endless resurrecting source of cattle.

If people stopped thinking of this as something only temporary, as a place where they would come and go without it mattering, then maybe something would be done about all this.

As it stands, there are only a few of us trying.

I should've introduced myself. Name's Guts.

Guts. A very telling name. Waverly, Waverly Raine. Not as telling, well, maybe, but I'm not a good teller of my own personality.

Ma'am tends to make one feel old. Please, call me Waverly.

Waverly, then. So what's your story?

My story?

Everyone here seems to come from interesting circumstances.

Ah. Mine, I'm afraid, is less then interesting. I was raised to be a man's possession and a bargaining chip to allow my father a son to take over the company. Finally got sick of it all and tried to do what I wished. Was found out and disowned - did something stupid and was taken to a different world by the devil.

I got used to living there. I even rather liked it in it's own queer way. I miss a lot of our patrons. Hell, I even miss the bastard Lucifer; but this is where I am and I refuse to treat anything it's just passing or really won't matter in the end.

I've done that twice with my own life. Nothing in life is something you can control. If you try then you're only spelling disaster for yourself.

What about yourself? What sort of world did you once inhabit?

A much less advanced world than this. Just getting along every day is hard, for most people. The privileged are at the top, controlling the lives of those below them. It's a common story.

That's not my concern, for the most part. The nobility shoots itself in the foot enough. I have my own reasons for my journey. There are much worse monsters than humans in my world. Things that make the horrors here pale in comparison. As for having no control, I can't believe that. Fate? Bullshit.

Fate isn't alway a lack of control and choice. Fate is just the end result of the choices you make. You're the person you make yourself to be along the way.
