BBS | don't wanna go home =|

[turnip_rage]

So, given that we off-worlders are here against our will, it's completely understandable that most of us want nothing more than to go home. You know - back to our friends, families and stuff. And enemies, I guess.

Some of us get that wish, but it's just as unpredictable as us arriving here in the first place.

But not all of us want to go home.

I'm fine. Just wondering who else wants to stay. If anyone does.

[turnip_rage]

Most people want to go home. Back to their loved ones and all that. Here, they're just getting on any way they can, because they haven't got much choice.

Your home --

[IS BLOWN UP. SO YOU CAN'T. Okay, he won't say that.]

[fierybluebird]

I want to see my brothers again, but I can take my time. I was in a lot more of a hurry before when I still thought they were in danger while I was here.

Extended vacation or not, this is still a vacation for me.

Although if I am going home, I'm dragging you and Grell with me, eh.

[turnip_rage]

I'd make a terrible pirate. And I don't think Grell'd be too impressed.

[fierybluebird]

Grell liked it well enough.

And you wouldn't have to join my crew. You could pick an island to defend and lock up tons of pirates and turn them over for bounties. Sound like your thing?

[Interesting topic, considering Sharpay's recent yet to be posted trip home after seeing her friends' worlds too. Sharpay taps a pen on her keyboard as she thinks about it.]

I'd love to see my family again, but apart from that, I like my life here. I've gotten much more of a skill set and experience here in two years than I would have in four years if I'd gone to college like I was going to before I ended up here.

[Plus, Sharpay has grown to like having worked for everything she has instead of skating by on Daddy's money. Not that she'd ever admit that.]

So I guess it's a hard topic, huh?

We need something like the Omni-Viewer here.

[endscenterstage]

[Not that hard a topic, Sharpay realizes with some surprise. And that opens an introspective can of worms she doesn't quite want to share with the whole BBS.]

What's an Omni-Viewer?

A sentient device that can travel through time and space, and show images from anywhere. Basically, if he feels like it, you could use him to talk with anyone you please, regardless of where and when they might be.

Why would you want to stay here?

[turnip_rage]

Because the other option is instant death.

[worthyheir]

Why, are you a criminal?

[turnip_rage]

Hardly. I spend my time fighting criminals, not being one.

[easilytriggered]

if my friends were here, i wouldn't mind staying.

home's not all that great.

[turnip_rage]

So your friends are what makes a world worthwhile, to you?

[easilytriggered]

yeah. i guess you could say that.
