012; you won't have to fail

[mothersmemory]

So, I didn't get the job at that bar. Which is, in all honesty, a little bit worrying, so many bills.

The man doing the interview said I was a little too shy to work there. And he said that was a shame because I seemed to be reliable etc.

Um, this might be a bit of a strange question but how does one, I don't know, come out of their shell?

Literally or figuratively?

[mothersmemory]

Figuratively. I don't actually have a literal shell.

[iffygenes]

I doubt it's unheard of. Though...I haven't, but things have changed so much.

Perhaps participating in some group activities here would help. When's the next festival?

[mothersmemory]

I know tortoises have shells.

I do not think they have festivals here like the ones you are talking about.

[iffygenes]

I meant those who were here. If they had one formerly, that is.

...why not?

[mothersmemory]

I don't quite understand your meaning.

A lot has changed over the past three thousand years.

[iffygenes]

I'm sorry - any of those who've been sent here, if they formally had them. In their previous form.

Well - there has to be some form of public gatherings. Worship - community...right?

[mothersmemory]

I see...

People here have found new religions.

[iffygenes]

Oh no...

[mothersmemory]

Mmhm.

[iffygenes]

Surely...there's a few that still believe.

[mothersmemory]

Technically, we are the last.

[iffygenes]

Why? - Why would they- that's it, I need to consult a bard, someone who knows history-

There still should be things for you- they can't have stopped believing in community events...

[mothersmemory]

They have bars and clubs...

[iffygenes]

Then maybe you should investigate them...?
