Is it worth making friends here when it's only a matter of time until they're taken away...? I didn't really want to think like this, but after being here for so long and seeing so many good people get sent back...

I just don't really know anymore. I know even less of what's going on, but I'm willing to guess it's nothing good. If that's the case

...taken away?

Re: voice

[onceahuman]

One moment they're here, and then... poof, they're gone.

It's happened more times than any of us can count.

[kawaii_kamisama]

Au... w- where do they go? ...home?

Re: voice

[onceahuman]

Yeah, home. Except when they're already...

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's good that they're back where they belong. It just sucks for the friends and family the had to leave behind in this city.

[and_not_ginger]

So, people do get sent back home, then? And has anyone ever managed to return home as the result of a good, old-fashioned escape?

[onceahuman]

I don't think so...

Besides, if they did go back home, they wouldn't really be able to tell us about it, right?

[and_not_ginger]

Well, no, I suppose not. Which is immensely inconvenient, and just another reason why I can't understand why no one has invented the interplanetary, interdimensional telephone yet.

Still, I always think that it doesn't hurt to ask about these things, just on the off-chance that anyone had shared any escape plans before vanishing.

[onceahuman]

No way, phones can't really do that!

... Can they? Oh wow, I'm so behind in the times.

I guess you must be new around here?

[angelic_lawyer]

I think at that point you'd have to decide would you prefer having no friends, or appreciating the ones you have for a limited time.

[onceahuman]

I didn't have that many friends back home, but... Being in this city would be even harder without friends!

[angelic_lawyer]

I think, then, it that case, you've answered your own question.

[onceahuman]

That was quicker than I thought...

Thanks.

[7th_warrant]

...do you need anything, Fraulein Lisa?

[onceahuman]

Maybe an extra blanket or two...

[7th_warrant]

I will fetch some from you...I understand your anatomy makes this weather a bit difficult.

[onceahuman]

Thanks, I owe you.

I'm not counting down the days to Christmas, or the New Year. I'm just waiting for it to be Spring again.

[dreamermoa]

I wouldn't trade knowing you guys for anything.

[onceahuman]

I wouldn't either!
