I know the reason for all of us being brought here isn't known, but I've heard that a lot of people were also brought in from war, or-- some kind of fighting. So, er, I was just wondering:

How do you fight? And what for, if you did?

And if you weren't in a war... what did you do to pass a day? Did you work, or study for school, or...? [a trail

I think it kind of depends on how flexible you can interpret your purpose being.

[payback]

I am. But even that doesn't really... help me in figuring out what I might end up doing, so far.

[payingthepiper]

Can you see yourself doing anything in particular? Or is it all up in the air?

[payback]

I don't know if I even want to get that comfortable here...

[payingthepiper]

[a beat.]

Because it feels like you're accepting that you won't be going home?

[payback]

Mm... though, it's not even like home was amazing in every way... it's just that I knew what I was doing there.

[payingthepiper]

I still can't get used to the way they do things here.

[payback]

1782.

I honestly feel like it does have a lot to do with it.

It isn't as if the people themselves have changed, though.

private / moderate to hack.

[payback]

People still seem to have problems that are amazingly similar to the problems people in my time have. But the world has certainly changed.

[payingthepiper]

... Certainly...

I've just been trying to accept and move through it. But - [it catches up on you.] What have you been doing?

private / moderate to hack.

[payback]

The same. I'm going to school... still learning. I figure having more information is my best bet at adapting successfully to this city and the world.
