[oh, is it the thirty-first already? the feed clicks and it looks like john is somewhere having himself a drink.]

You know, can't say I really expected to be spending a birthday here. It happens with war, obviously this time we didn't exactly all volunteer.

[sigh, oh well, he rubs at his neck a little]

So, anyone care to join me for a pint? Or company, I don't mind, I could use some talk that isn't about all of.. well, this.

[ slight gesture to around. he doesn't know what to comment on the people going to their world for resources. feel free to action it up. ]

HAVE I MENTIONED IT'S MY MOST FAVORITE THING EVER?? CAUSE IT IS

[doctorly]

[..huh, John looks interested in this kind of idea.]

You know, I never gave much thought to something like that. I mean, I can see them bringing us here and sending us back. Shouldn't be impossible to send us to someone else's world. [quirks a smile] Guess it depends on what kind of place you want to have a new start in.

omfg I'M FLATTERED AND GLAD HEHEHEHehehheh

[stonefaith]

Yeah. [ Bariyan's smile fades. ] I don't know. I've spoken to a few others and... there's some worlds that are just as unpleasant as this one. Maybe even worse.

[ He stops tinkering with his glass to stare at it. ] But I'm sure there's something better out there.

but i feel the most lucky tho omg IM GLAD OK?? hehedfghj

[doctorly]

[there's a short silence from John before he speaks] Well, I can't really compare my world with others so I can't say for sure whether it's better or not.. But it's better than here, that's for sure. The technology isn't so updated as the ones here.. but there's some similarities. Like the computer.

[let's see..] You can live your life, a normal one with whatever you want to do. So far as it's in the law [that gets a small chuckle]

[stonefaith]

That must be nice. [ Bariyan looks and sounds wistful. He can vaguely recall when life was like that.... a very long time ago, now, but he remembers. And he'd always wanted it back. ] Maybe one day I'll be able to visit.

[ He turns silent, contemplative. What a strange concept. 'One day' -- a future. Possibilities. Strange. ]

[doctorly]

Sure, I'll show you all the sights and places.

[despite everyone being from different worlds, it's nice to still make friends with some. sometimes it feels like this is only as far as it'll go. once this is done they'll be sent back and that will be the end of it.

but a lot of these things.. don't just happen without consequences. the things they'll do here, it won't go unforgotten. ..will it?] I can promise it's a better England than this.
