Chapter 2 [voice]

[bittertears]

I had thought that the answer was clear, but considering what we were recently put through...

I'm having difficulty deciding which one I find more insufferable between The Initiative and the United Earth.

Perhaps some of you would like to share your thoughts on the matter?

After those bombs, The Initiative's looking like the lesser of two evils. But who's to say what happens to us if they do manage to win.

[bittertears]

Much as I would like to believe we'll all be sent back to where we came from, I find myself doubting the likelihood of such an outcome.

voice;

[roadkills]

You and me both. I wonder if they've even made it possible.

voice;

[bittertears]

With our luck, that will be the next task they impose on us.

[He snorts softly.]

If it is, I'm taking notes.

I'm Sam.

voice;

[bittertears]

A pleasure, Sam. My name is Alice.

Alice Liddell.

How long has it been since you were drafted into all of this?

voice;

[bittertears]

A few more days and I'll have been here for two months.

Yourself?

voice;

[roadkills]

About the same. I guess that sort of makes us classmates.

It's weird. It doesn't seem that long and yet it feels like I've been here forever.

voice;

[bittertears]

Certainly these past few weeks have been very busying for all of us.

voice;

[roadkills]

Not sure what I'd do with a day off anyway.

voice;

[bittertears]

Surely you must have some way of keeping yourself entertained!

voice;

[roadkills]

I read some. Exercise. But that's about it.

voice;

[bittertears]

[pinged.]

What do you prefer to read?

voice;

[roadkills]

History, religion, mythology. [Okay, so those are really more for work than pleasure.]

What about you?

voice;

[bittertears]

I mostly enjoy works of fiction, but there isn't much I'll turn down when it comes to books.
