[James hasn't made a post since his first - in part because he's terribly lost. He has proper clothes, now, thanks to Favrielle, but it is still overwhelming to be in such a foreign place. His concern isn't so much the rationing, though that seems to be quite the source of anxiety for some he's encountered. What he wants is answers to the many and contradictory things he's been told since his arrival.]

I find myself at something of a loss, in this place, with so many people from such seemingly different times and places. It seems impossible that one person could have brought us here, and insensible that they should.

[That, though, is a subject he's sure has been at the center of many debates. What truly haunts him is what he heard from Peggy and Ariadne before.] I was led to believe that this place was a sort of afterlife, and yet, if I understand correctly, there are some here with ambitions to return to their homes. I do not see how such a thing could be accomplished.

[And that's it. No suggestions, he's just mulling. Aloud, and in public, which, he realizes now, is terribly unseemly.]

Forgive me. There is little purpose to these musings. Perhaps they are better off left unvoiced.

The citizens here. You might not want to tell them you were in the navy.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Are you suggesting a proper commission is shameful?

[lostundercover]

I'm suggesting telling a bunch of aggressive residents you're a military-trained and potentially violent foreigner seems like a bad idea.

[mopirates_moproblems]

They brought me here. Perhaps they should have done their research, if they find it that distasteful.

[lostundercover]

The Emperor brought you here. Not the people.

[mopirates_moproblems]

And you feel the distinction is significant?

[lostundercover]

Yeah, it is.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Their emperor saw fit to bring me here. They should accept that judgement.

[lostundercover]

Sure, yeah. Good luck with that, asshole.

[mopirates_moproblems]

I beg your pardon!

[lostundercover]

You heard.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Good day to you, sir.
