It's almost odd, the way one grows used to this place after enough time passes.

It's been peaceful, lately -- I hope that it stays this way.

Peaceful can get boring, though.

Haha, I suppose so? Though constant pressure does get rather exhausting, doesn't it.

Re: voice ;

[bellchain]

Yeah. It is nice to get a break.

We should still be trying to find a way back. Even if it's not -- quite like DW, we're still trapped and held here against our will.

[cicumae]

Of course. I've constantly kept that goal in mind, though I'm afraid I've been rather unsuccessful thus far.

[voice]; not setting you up, what are you talking about ;;;;

[7livesleft]

Would I be too much of a pessimist to bet against you on that? It's been a while since I've won anything.

[voice]; LMFAO foreshadowing is a go....

[cicumae]

Ahaha -- well, I suppose that it may be a bit much to ask, given the city's past records. But it's still possible to hope, isn't it?

[voice]

[7livesleft]

It's possible.

How was the ball?

[voice]

[cicumae]

It was quite a pleasant change from everything that had been going on in the city. -- did you not go, Mr. Spiegel?

[thunderblast]

I don't understand how you can just - accept this for what it is. Why isn't anyone doing anything? Organizing resistance, opening up information channels, anything, anything to learn to get out of here? Instead, all of you idiots just sit around, grinning about some falsified peace after dancing like puppets in some ridiculous ball!

[ a sizable pause. he sounds serious, though, when he answers ]

Suppose one takes your suggestions into account. A resistance against what? The city? What kind of information? Compilations of information already exist, but have done little to help thus far.

Forgive me for saying so, but you are relatively new to this city, are you not? Many have already attempted to leave the city, with little to no gain. And expending one's energy uselessly through anger or desperation achieves equally little. The city and all those who are trapped here were caught in a series of dangerous events shortly before your arrival, and we have just had the chance to breathe -- it a relief that many have wanted and deserve.

You have my sincere apologies if this sounds foolish or rude, but rushing into this situation is not the best solution -- and this is something that has been proven in the past.

voice ; sorry about the wait :c

[thunderblast]

It just sounds like you're scrambling to justify past failures. From what I've seen, these "Magisters" are the ones pulling the strings. And yet -- it ends there.

In fact, it seems like some of you have actually started to consider them friends!

Tch. There's someone in charge. There's a reason we were brought here. If you want to sit back and drown in your laziness, go ahead. Don't expect me to come running back to any of you once I've figured a way out.

voice ; lmf no problem

[cicumae]

And you would go bargain with the Magisters? With what? It is unlikely that you would be able to produce anything worthy of such a great answer. Or -- by force? If you will excuse me for making such a judgement, it seems that you are the type to speak with actions over words. And in that case, you should know -- the Magisters reign over this plane in ways that are impossible to overcome.

I doubt that any who were initially determined to leave this city have ever given up -- but there is a time and place for everything. If you truly feel that pressing forth with such brash methods is the only way to achieve anything, then I will not attempt to change your mind, as you surely will not listen.

My only advice would be that you think over the cicumstances before doing anything foolish.
