You are all from different worlds, so you must have different religions too. I am of The Elettari and I know my faith is not yours. I'm not asking you that.

What I want to know is this: Has there ever been a sickness that infected only the religious? Something that spread fast in some but not everyone. Made them act violent and reject their god.

What caused it? Was it cured?

Yeah...A year or so, I'm pretty sure. It's been a while.

[lexiconning]

A year? Oh wow.

[ beat. ]

That's a long time.

[eyecontact]

Yeah :\
The time travel stuff doesn't really help so I can't tell you how long it really has been...
But I don't think there's been many people who've been here as long as me. A lot get sent back.

[lexiconning]

That's good then right? Some people go home. Do you miss yours? I'm sure its better off than here.

[eyecontact]

I guess I do. It's a little tricky for me to say...but it is good that a lot of people get to go back. That's what you want too isn't it?

[lexiconning]

Tricky how? But no I think its different in my case. It would probably be nice to be somewhere familiar again but it's not like there's anything waiting back there for me either.

[eyecontact]

Were you alone?

[lexiconning]

Yes.

[eyecontact]

I'm sorry. :(
I used to be alone a lot back home too. But that's why it's tricky because here I made lots of friends. Maybe you can too.

[lexiconning]

You were alone too? Did something happen?
I don't know. I don't know about making friends.

[eyecontact]

I was for a long time. Somebody found me though, and I helped a lot of people out of a really tight spot. I think we could've been friends if I was still there...
But it's nice having friends. I hope you try, I think it will be good.
By the way, I'm Jericho. I can be a friend if you want, or at least help you figure things out here since it's weird.

[lexiconning]

You must be very lucky I think. But I'm glad for you that you have friends. I used to have some too so

[ --SO?! ]

Will you answer if I write to you with the tablet?

[eyecontact]

I will. :)

[lexiconning]

You have to mean it!
These things let you contact personally too the directions said. If I have questions I'll ask you with that okay?
This doesn't mean we're friends I don't know if I can be one and I don't know anything about you but this has to be a promise Jericho.

[eyecontact]

I promise I will answer when you contact me.
