Not to my knowledge.

[glastonknight]

Children... And how long have you been here?

[lyra_of_dust]

Um... A few years? I mean, I've gone home a few times, but never of my own will. It was... The same way I came into this place, actually.

[glastonknight]

... I see. Thank you for your input.

[i_themagician]

It's hard to tell with some people.

[glastonknight]

Oh?

[i_themagician]

There are those who are able to plan for these things in such a way that it seems as though they have complete control over their comings and goings. I don't know for certain that anyone does, however.

[glastonknight]

I see.

[kabukihimejanai]

I'd like to know that, too.

[glastonknight]

I have to wonder if all citizens are as resigned to their fates as they seem.

[kabukihimejanai]

Most, not all.

I'm finding a way out on my own.

[glastonknight]

And how do you plan to go about this?

[captainshort]

There have certainly been attempts. But if they were successful, I couldn't tell you. Leaving is just like arriving: no idea how it happens, only that it does-and randomly.

[glastonknight]

... How trying.

[captainshort]

I know. I wish there was more positive information to share. But if people have escaped on purpose, they didn't stick around long enough to tell the rest of us how.

[ooc; this is so unfortunately timed, but i must crawl to bed now. D:]

[glastonknight]

That's true.

[ooc; *tucks in*]

Hm. I imagine that if one managed it, he or she would not return voluntarily, even to share the knowledge of how. Taking that into account, all others who have returned never seem to remember their previous visits, so even if they had left due to their own power...they wouldn't be much help.

[glastonknight]

I hear there are a few who remember... it would be much too much to ask, it seems that one of them may know something.

[iron_ambition]

Hm. Really? There's something to be said for keeping hope alive. If you can keep a hold on reality while doing it, you're doing better than most.

[glastonknight]

I plan to keep it that way.
