When I evacuated the City, I wondered if I should stay away. Not-- in the evacuation center specifically, that would have been ridiculous and likely illegal, but just away. Just someplace else. I mean-- I mean there's a great big world out there, you know, a world with parks that aren't all fucked up because of monster attacks. Swing sets. Wishing

It really must be the fascinating questions that keep me here.

voice;

[afeatherpillow]

I've noted your sarcasm. Thank you for that.

voice;

[enigmaestro]

You don't even play along, do you?

voice;

[afeatherpillow]

Isn't that surprising? I mean, If there's anything I love, it's being subtly mocked to my face.

[subconman]

oh the people, of course.

voice;

[afeatherpillow]

[Pause.]

'The people.' That's-- great, that makes sense. In part. Is it because you have friends here?

[subconman]

in a manner of speaking.

[afeatherpillow]

I saw that Mr. Sark was sent back home. I'm sorry.

[afeatherpillow]

You really do have some sort of obsession with him, don't you? Spouting inanities like that.

[afeatherpillow]

I'm not going to tell you my reason.

But it doesn't involve Edward.

[hackeralastair]

Geez, Katurian, do you always attract the creepers? How about a normal answer: I've got a sweet job, a boyfriend and a brother, and now I own part share of actual real estate. Why would I leave that behind?

[afeatherpillow]

Well. There was that small soul stealing rampage.

[hackeralastair]

...not gonna let me live that down, huh?

[afeatherpillow]

I don't know. [Pause.] It was quite memorable.

[fairyarcher]

The monsters are familiar.

... and I don't think anyone would rent me an apartment, if I tried moving to Japan.

[afeatherpillow]

The age thing would be a problem, wouldn't it? I suppose it's another reason why I should be thankful the Porter took me when it did. Ha ha.

Anyway, um. How do you mean, familiar? I wasn't there.

[fairyarcher]

Not like that. I mean, generally speaking, with how often things like that happen here. It's what's familiar now.

And at least here, now, people like us don't get as many funny looks or intolerance like we used to. I don't know if people would be as accepting, everywhere else.

[afeatherpillow]

Oh. Oh. Yes, it's-- it's something that happens here quite frequently, I know. It'll always be familiar.

Sometimes, I manage to forget that I'm an import.
