[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.

I'm just trying to understand the eccentricities of our new home.

[fotia]

Cool, I get that, man. So have you heard about the cloning? [just... casually putting that out there...]

[mopirates_moproblems]

I'm sorry. The what?

[fotia]

The cloning. [yes he has the gall to actually sound offended that you earlier-century people don't know these new technologies!] You know, take a cell, inject into an egg, do science-y stuff, boom! Copies of yourself!

[mopirates_moproblems]

Are you completely mad?

[For the record, James is now imagining some sort of imprisoned chicken's egg being tortured with a horrifyingly large needle. And copies of yourself? What even!]

[fotia]

Huh? Oh, yeah, I've been accused of that a lot. [kanyeshrug!] I guess it's true, but at least I can make terrible decisions a lot better when I'm nuts.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Imagine that. [Sadly, James knows others who that applies to. Why must his life be filled with people making terrible decisions? Also, crazy pirates people.]
