Lovely.

Are there many children here?

[the sketch pauses and she moves her pencil down to write him a response]

Thank you.

Not a lot, actually. It mostly seems to be older people who are brought here.

[written] halftheduet September 16 2011, 03:50:39 UTC

Curious. I wonder why that is.

[written] tehoniongirl September 16 2011, 03:59:55 UTC

I guess that would depend on who is bringing us here and why. No one's really figured out the answer to either.

[written] halftheduet September 16 2011, 04:05:16 UTC

Yes, that is, no doubt, the key.

Part of me hopes is that whatever is doing this realizes that kids shouldn't go through what the rest of us can.

[written] halftheduet September 18 2011, 17:52:03 UTC

That would be a relief, certainly. Though from all I've heard about those in charge-- if they are behind the arrivals here--, I should not expect them to be so merciful.

Even if it just finds kids less interesting, I won't complain.

[written] halftheduet September 18 2011, 18:33:18 UTC

I'm afraid I'm rather a cynic in matters like this. I fear my thoughts are that, for whatever purpose we are brought here, children are less useful, so they are less common.

[written] tehoniongirl September 18 2011, 19:31:07 UTC

If it actually found them useful, I'd be afraid what purpose it would decide. I'd rather it keep them away from this place.

[written] halftheduet September 18 2011, 19:33:04 UTC

I agree, wholeheartedly.

[written] tehoniongirl September 18 2011, 19:37:26 UTC

The children we have here are wonderful. And I know we couldn't protect them from everything, even if this place was like the one we'd left behind. But so many of the risks here are the kind that no child should have to face.

[written] halftheduet September 18 2011, 19:40:43 UTC

I cannot even imagine. I have not been in this place long, but I certainly would not wish it on anyone else, especially children.

[written] tehoniongirl September 18 2011, 19:50:42 UTC

In some ways it's not very different from anywhere else, I'd guess. There are wonderful people here. And some who are less so. And some of the strangeness here is as awe-inspiring as it is frightening.

But it's also all a little exaggerated. The good and the magical is like something from a fairy tale, and so is the bad and the terrifying.

[written] halftheduet September 18 2011, 19:54:32 UTC

I cannot say I look forward to it. Still, one must, as a friend of mine would say, "weather the storm" as best as one is able.

[written] tehoniongirl September 18 2011, 19:56:09 UTC

We'll probably be getting another experiment soon. Hopefully it won't be a bad one, this time around, but they seem to happen after the New Feathers have had a chance to settle in.
