[He's sitting outside somewhere, his back to a wall, frowning at the screen. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about him, the thing most likely to make an impression--besides the crazy sideburns--is that he looks mean.

And he is. What little time he's had to adjust hasn't improved his mood.]

So what's the consensus? Just do what they tell you and they'll let you go home, or am I bein' too optimistic?

[flightlessbird]

No, I do not think so. No one has gone home yet.

[okay so like a whole second of staring goes here, more because of her than because of what she said.]

You sure about that?

[the well-being of certain individuals--or possibly a large group of people--may depend on it.]

[hungover]

Far too optimistic.

[Haymitch is -- probably on his couch, draining a glass of whisky.]

How often do governments do what they say they will, where you're from?

[noifsandsorbubs]

Depends on if it's a threat, bub. [A pause--eying that drink.] Figured I'd make sure.

[ multi-tasking by catching some fish out by a lake. as he ties bait, he speaks. ]

It's hard to say. I've been doing what they tell me to do and I've been here for half a year. My friend didn't, and he was sent back home.

Looks like results are as disorganized as they are.

[noifsandsorbubs]

Sounds like they cut him loose 'cause he didn't jump when they said jump, if I understand you right.

[totallytrustworthy]

I'm sure you can guess just how much they care about us getting home.

video

[noifsandsorbubs]

If they don't now, they're gonna learn.

[bratworth]

... You would fight their war, without asking any further questions?

video;

[noifsandsorbubs]

I'd do whatever it takes to get out of here.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh, yes! Another optimist!

[ Not quite, though Collette will pretend so for amusement's sake. Given how he's frowning... ]

I'm not sure these guys know enough of what will work to be making promises about how much following their rules will get us anywhere. But I'm pretty sure the Initiative is sold on having us do what they want, with or without permission. If the kidnapping didn't set the tone from the beginning. Though really, kidnapping and trying to arm your kidnapees?

Asking for trouble, if this whole world seems to ask for trouble and a side of gravy.

[noifsandsorbubs]

Asking for trouble and gettin' none, or they wouldn't do it. Nobody's ever gone up against them, am I right?

[bloominghistorian]

Investigation, at the moment.

[noifsandsorbubs]

Find anything good?

[Video]

[mach_n_roll]

That's what I'm figuring! At least until someone proves me wrong!

[Short blue spiky thing is helo.]

[Video]

[noifsandsorbubs]

[What the fuck is that.

Well, it doesn't really matter.

No wait yes it does what is that.]

Looks like most people ain't on your side.

[ Japanese guy with blue eyes is currently smoking a thin cigar, sitting in what looks like a bar, and looking very amused by everything. ]

Do you want to hear from the paranoid or the optimistic or those with little lose? The answers you get may just be tainted by the results.

[ He also doesn't seemed that freaked out by the grumpiness. ]

Video;

[noifsandsorbubs]

It was more of a general question. [A pause. There's nothing more grating than being in the dark and watching someone else smirk about it.] Somethin' funny?

[myownbestfriend]

...Logan?

[Emma's happy to see him, and camouflaging it imperfectly. If you're going to be trapped in a war across time, there's an extremely long list of people worse than Logan to have around.

Besides, she likes him...and hides it most of the time under an aura of disdain.]

video;

[noifsandsorbubs]

Emma?

[for a second he's just staring, thinking. this is good: not for her, maybe, but for the entire situation.]

You just get here?

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

[Snort. Oso sarcastic and oso annoyed.] Very optimistic.

Even if this war of theirs ends, there's really no reason to send us back. They'll still need an army. And why recruit new people when they've already got us?

[Voice]

[noifsandsorbubs]

Yeah, maybe. But if they think that's how it works, they don't know nothin' about war.

[itase]

Seems to sway between bar hopping night and plots of bloody coups.

[noifsandsorbubs]

Is that a joke?

video

[blondejokes]

I don't think they'll let any of us go home.

video

[noifsandsorbubs]

[what the hell is with all these kids here.]

You been stuck here a while?

text;

[payback]

Go along with it but be alert. Is my personal consensus at least.

[noifsandsorbubs]

It ain't a consensus if it's just you.

video;

[martinsson]

Of course that's too optimistic.

[ he can't conceal his frown, or the bit of irritation seeping into his tone. it's not strictly at logan; more so simply at the fact that that really was too much of positive thinking. ]

video;

[noifsandsorbubs]

Thanks for the insight.

[punk_cute]

[And Kanji comes on smiling, brushing his hair out of his eyes. He seriously needs it cut, if not bleached again. The dark roots are starting to look ridiculous.]

Don't really think there's a thing for being too optimistic. But yeah, that's lookin' up pretty hard. 'Course, I ain't really been doin' what they want. I don't wanna kill anybody.

[noifsandsorbubs]

They ever come after you for it?

video

[fintastic]

[ Another optimistic type? Heck yes. ]

Yeah! That sounds about right. It could be a while before that happens though.

[knowing nothing about trolls, all he can think is there's a kid who has it rough. (kid being the important word.)]

What are you, twelve?

Wolverine.

[ He gives a polite nod. He's not about to complain about familiar faces who also happen to be competent and generally on the same side, even if they haven't always seen eye to eye. ]

[noifsandsorbubs]

Emma told me you were here.

[YEP THAT'S IT...]

video

[wrexy]

[He chuckles, deep and gruff.] These things usually work out like 'do what you're told, then they tell you more things to do.'

video

[noifsandsorbubs]

[the importance of agreeing is eclipsed by what the fuck is that.]

Mind if I ask where you're from?

Naive and stupid more like it. Do what they tell you and you're more likely to end up canon meat.
