A few things:

[ Exile doesn't waste time with pleasantries. She's sure they're all thrilled to be here and there's probably more than enough whining and nonsensical banter going on. Good times, thanks but no thanks. ]

So, how many of us are here? At all? And how many of is are out of the pods? Does anybody keep a tally?

Besides that, I know there are some Force sensitives out and about. You've probably felt me, too. You know that feeling of dread and despair that permeates the walls sometimes? That's me. I'd be interested in hearing about the state of the galaxy from where and when you're from.

[ Her main reason to know who's who is to avoid them, of course. She can't help but feel like she needs to keep tabs on anyone that might be a danger to others though. ]

And lastly: card games. Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

at least up there you don't have to hide the fact you're from a completely different planet that was destroyed and you were "saved" by the people that the Olympians kinda-sorta worship but don't realize

[that's a mouthful]

[saucius]

They're weirded out by us anyway, so whatever.

We have other things to worry about.

[winddaughter]

Of course we do, but without any foothold anywhere, nothing's gonna be of any use.

[saucius]

So we stake our claim. We work this out.

Not that I have much hopes for people actually working together so well, but that's the idea.

Yet you make fun of the beach party. A lot of us, myself included, took it as a good break, but did you know a lot of people were working side by side with the locals, getting close to them? That should be the focus, not what that elf guy tried. [Sorry Lavellan.]

He wanted to take a group of Refugees to make some Inquisit-thing, and drop it right in the middle of a society before understanding it.

Why does anyone ever think that's a good idea? We have to merge

[and for some reason the message cuts off]

not separate from Olympia

[saucius]

An Inquisition?

Look, I'm all for fun and breaks and relaxing, but you usually do those after you get some sense of accomplishment. It being the literal first thing I saw kind of ruined the entire thing for me. I stepped out of the worst possible news into blindfolded dudes trying to smash watermelons.

But you're right, I really don't have a good alternative right now. I'm trying to come up with one, mind you.

And I don't trust Olympia. I don't think we have much choice either, but I won't depend on them if I can help it.

[winddaughter]

Yeah, that.

And alright, I see your point. [Vaguely. She'll at least act like she does.] I don't trust any of them, so if you do find an alternative, I'm sure a lot of us will be happy to hear it.

[saucius]

Well that feels out of place.

Will you now? I think most people will be willing to get right into denial and ignore whatever other option. It's the easiest way to go, after all.

[winddaughter]

Maybe, but I think there's a lot more of us with restless energy that needs to get pointed in some direction.
