[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.

No. Not from what I've heard. No are the locals particularly helpful.

They are certainly ....rather more hostile than they were upon my arrival.

Has any offered you violence?

Not as of this moment, no.

Well, there is that, at least.

[The hostility toward foreigners is impossible to miss.]

I suppose so. It is not as though we came by choice, after all.

If I am to understand it, it was not their choice, either. I suppose some resentment is to be expected, though this seems excessive.

It does, yes. I suppose one might resolve it by speaking with the Emperor, but she ...is prickly, at best. [Maybe that's because you're a self-admitted revolutionary, Combeferre.]

"Prickly"?

[Hah, maybe there's hope. Prickly women are a specialty.]

I have only spoken to her once, we did not get on all too well.

I imagine we are all of us predisposed to dislike her.

[Because of kidnappings, for one thing.]
