So this Christmas thing is pretty great, but it isn't something I really knew about 'til I left home. When I was a kid we had a solstice festival thing instead. Today's the 21st... shortest day of the year. Not that you could tell, what with how dark it tends to be around here anyhow, perma-winter and all that. [A shrug nobody can see. This feels so weird. Okay, come on Lea, you can be social. Maybe. Sort of. Just. Say something nice.]

Well, I guess happy solstice anyhow. Keep a light on you, just in case.

[Nailed it.]

Much obliged~

Do you have people from your world here?

[promises_to_keep]

A few, yeah. Thankfully they're not the worrisome ones, as you so eloquently put it.

[strategic_guile]

I always wonder how people get chosen. I've never had someone I knew before come here, so I'd have to have really bad luck to get the worse ones.

I have to wonder if there's any rhyme or reason whatsoever, honestly. Some of the people who get brought here... well, in my opinion they don't really have any damn business fighting in a war.

Can't agree with you more. There are too many kids here... and even if we need more than soldiers, I just don't see the reasoning.
