Nutty times around here, huh? It's nice to see things happening, even if it's stuff like "spaceship crashing into building you call home, inevitable relocation into a room with three other people." There are worse things.

[Grump grump. She just sounds dry. It's a little overcrowded here for a girl who likes her privacy, but whatcha gonna do...]

And now a trip home. Or a try for it. What good news for everyone who doesn't want to be here, maybe - if it works they could as well just install a revolving door and kick the people who won't have with fighting in a surprise war right back home. It could make life pretty difficult for the Initiative if it works out, if nobody'll stick around from the goodness of their hearts, or whatever.

It's the first time I've seen a place manage that though. So that's something.

Anyhow, welcome in to all you new people, I hope the Hold has been kind so far. If you're homesick cheer up, it could be so much more terrible around these parts. The group missions aren't so bad. You got armed and you got money and maybe you won't even be here a long time. The future looks bright, right?

Their methods won't secure them the victory they so desperately want.

[payback]

Why do you say that?

[sacrificar]

It's not how a war should be fought.

[payback]

I guess I don't care so much about the "should." We're stuck here no matter what.

[sacrificar]

Our presence here is not permanent.

[payback]

What more important job do I have occupying my time until whatever happens next happens?

[sacrificar]

Your options are that limited?

[payback]

There's nothing more important.

[sacrificar]

And your abilities with a sword?

[payback]

... Are not colossal, but they're good enough, especially since the Initiative is a help.

[sacrificar]

It benefits them.

[payback]

Well, that's true, but everyone does things like that.

[Not on the scale of yanking in people from other universes, of course, but.]

[sacrificar]

It's an unfortunate way to be.

[payback]

Well, maybe... but I think it's normal. Everyone wants to make things easier for themselves and get what they want.

[sacrificar]

Survival is enough for me.

[payback]

But you still have things you need to survive, right?
