There's a boy who looks maybe ten years old, with purple hair, red eyes, and odd facial markings near the sign. he gives the nexus in general a suspicious look , as if half daring someone to comment on his appearance or mistake him for someone else. It's a rare sight to see him this far away from his twin, and a good sign that something is up. He checks around again, making sure certain people aren't anywhere nearby before asking his question.
"Ok, let's say you and just about everyone you know are refugees because the government where you're from has the collective equivalent of a stick jammed in an uncomfortable place. Now, most of the other people you're with are just happy to be out. Move on, rebuild their lives, that sort of thing. Nice idea, but the world's not all sunshine and daisies."
"Then there are a few others that want to try to sneak back and get some revenge. The leaders of the group you're with aren't approving of that, because it could just draw attention back to the whole bunch that nobody wants. But you're friends with a couple of the other guys, and they have their points too... letting those jerks just get away with butchering people for existing without a permit or whatever reason they've trumped up this week isn't right either."
Techno sighs before continuing. "So, these friends keep coming up with plans, most of them aimed at the government's pet paramilitary group. And while some of them sound good, and could even save a few people, most are also likely to get them, you, and anyone the authorities even suspect is partly involved killed if you're caught at it. So how do you keep talking a couple hotheads out of indirect suicide of Darwin Award proportions without sounding like you're one of the ones who wants to just go on doing nothing at all?"
"And how do you know when something's come up that's worth the risk?"
