[deconflagration]

[ He's been on the ship for about a week and has maybe stepped foot into his assigned room a total of once. Most of the week was spent being in shock, angsting over his planet-go-boom situation and analyzing all the people. It wasn't good enough to lose all the things he held dear once; he had to lose everything he held dear twice. WHY HIM? Such is

I've been waiting for this~

[unetrustworthy]

...I know what you mean.

All packed for your field trip?!

[deconflagration]

There was war in your planet too?

/grabs toothbrush

[unetrustworthy]

...yes.

Definitely gonna be an overnighter.

[deconflagration]

[ "That's rough, buddy." ]

I'm sorry. That's... gotta be rough.

\o/

[unetrustworthy]

[...I loled so hard at that]

It was. I never really knew any other life until I came here.

[deconflagration]

I understand what you mean.... I don't know if it's entirely peaceful here, but there's a definite lack of corpses lining the hallways of the ship. And from what I've seen, people are generally pretty helpful.

[unetrustworthy]

It's not. I'm starting to wonder if true peace actually exists.

...but you are right about people being helpful. Even kind.

[deconflagration]

It's... probably possible. True peace. But you'd need a pretty small group to pull it off. Most likely monks or something similar.

[unetrustworthy]

Can't say I've met many people like that here.

[deconflagration]

There were a few places like that in my world, only they existed a century ago. It didn't last long though. People with power ended up wiping nearly all of them out.

...Guess even if it exists, it's never permanent. But who knows? Maybe there's a small, peaceful group somewhere here on this ship.

[unetrustworthy]

It's a nice thought to have.

[deconflagration]

I hope you can keep it in your head. It's hard, not having anything but thoughts of war and fighting in your head, so even the possibility of complete peace can help keep you going.

[unetrustworthy]

I...try.

Even if it's not possible in the end, it's comforting to meet people who don't want to fight.

[deconflagration]

I think... most people who fight do it because they have to, not because they want to. It's a matter of survival. But the people who do enjoy it... they're pretty sick.

[unetrustworthy]

Unfortunately, when you've been doing it your whole life, the line tends to get blurred.

[deconflagration]

That's why it's important not to lose sight of yourself and to maintain your honor. You have to keep your goals in mind and why you're fighting....
