[Console, whatever. Sure she got the run down on the thing but Mai's pretty much been ignoring it for the past day. She hasn't even bothered to really look on the network itself even if she has no intention of making an entry to it.

Now she's bothering though, mainly because she just wants to ask:]

So explain this war business to me again. Or at least try to convince me why I should care. Because right now? I really can't find much inside to say I should.

[solo_patria]

True enough, yes. And if there IS somehow a way we find out, I will be sure to share.

So hey, could be worse. We fight this thing, we save our own skins. [He shrugs lightly, offers what he hopes is a charming smile.] And you could be stuck with worse people. The city can be fun sometimes.

[superoverachiever]

Yeah.

So, you convinced we need to fight yet?

[manofiron]

Doesn't lend much confidence to this notion that we're the magic group that'll figure it out this time, does it?

[maipokerface]

I'd like that. I'm Mai.

Define 'fun'.

[maipokerface]

For ourselves maybe. I'm not about to fight for the benefit of them though.

[maipokerface]

I'd call it 'wishful thinking'.

[Ava sighs. She's not quite feeling up to arguing in favor of altruism, and really, in practical terms they just need committed soldiers. The why doesn't matter.] Close enough.

Yes you could. Especially those born to some sort of power.

[solo_patria]

Enjolras. It is good to meet you.

Re: Video

[maipokerface]

Especially those born to some sort of determination.

[maipokerface]

This place excluded, I can say the same.

Re: Video

[whitelotustile]

That as well.

[solo_patria]

[There's a bit of a laugh there.]

Ah well, one does get a bit more used to it in time, at least.

Yikes, a hundred? [She frowns.] I'd say that's still pretty long. Back home, things had been on and off with another country for a while, but nowhere near a hundred years either.

[manofiron]

[ He nods agreement. ]

And we all know how that kind of thing turns out.

[maipokerface]

Poorly?

[maipokerface]

On and off would be pretty nice. This was mostly on. Or that's how I understand it anyhow, it was going on a long time before I came around after all.

[maipokerface]

The place itself isn't that strange. Actually... it's not that much different than home.

[A beat.]

Where I'm from, that is.

[soulstoker]

I guess that's how it'd feel like if it really lasted a whole century. That's spanning at least a generation or two, right?

[solo_patria]

Is it not? Oh THAT is interesting.

My home is...rather different, yes.

video;

[maipokerface]

The one at home covered at least a generation. This one would have to cover two or three if not more.

... I can't really imagine that.

[maipokerface]

Not are far as dress or things like that. Now the consoles and this network, well...

[solo_patria]

Those WERE one of the strangest things for me here, I think. We are...rather further behind in technology.
