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.

Antiques. College. The Force.

I feel like I'm in a mummers play in another language entirely.

[saucius]

You don't know what an antique is?

Over a hundred probably. It's harder to keep track of who woke recently since they didn't "crash-land" in a massive group.

[saucius]

I heard about that. Kind of wishing that would've been my thing, as opposed to being told to pretend nothing is wrong and have some watermelon.

[winddaughter]

yeah, I mean, it wasn't very fun, but I guess it let us get some of our yelling out

there's always going back to the Station though, if you need a break from the Olympians. unless you're referring to something else in terms of acting like nothing's wrong, in which case whoever told you that is an idiot

[badgerlock]

Well I do now.

[But you know.]

[saucius]

I thrive in conflict.

[ She's literally fueled by death! ]

And do what? I can be stuck here or stuck there.
And nobody has to say anything, we just had a beach party.

[saucius]

I mean, it's a noun.

[ Get your shit together man. ]

[badgerlock]

You have no idea what it means, do you?

[vorrutyer]

Dear lady, what on earth is wrong with a beach party? That was the most fun I'd had in ages.

[saucius]

Antique means old. And antique is an old thing. Usually you use that term to imply it has certain value.

[ She knows about antiques. Many of the ones in her world have probably killed a bunch of people. ]

[saucius]

I don't mind fun, but it's kind of ridiculous to think about it right now, maybe?

Or did I misheard when I got told an absurd number of realities just died?

[vorrutyer]

Oh, but the people you knew were saved.

[saucius]

I'm going to decide right now that you're being sarcastic.

[vorrutyer]

[ "Sarcastic" isn't exactly it. "Self-flagellatingly ironic," perhaps. ]

Decide as you like. But truly, what's the difference to you? Life here, life on the old dirt. What's changed, really?

[saucius]

I happen to care about people beyond those I know.

I also happen to think there's a lot more to what we're being told.

[vorrutyer]

Oh, is that so? Like what?

Card games. You're serious.

[Yeah, apparently. Sid shakes his head a little, for lack of anything to say about any of this Force talk.]

...There's this one blasted game that's become more popular in Ishgard, come to think of it, but like hells I'm going to teach it to you.

[Read: because he sucks at it. A lot.]

[saucius]

They're taking us from time and space, who is to say that whatever they say happened actually did? Maybe our worlds are there, maybe there is a way to fix whatever happened, if it indeed happened.

[vorrutyer]

And the point of lying about that is...?

[saucius]

Everybody needs a hobby.

[ Well that's one way to make her interested. ]

Now you gotta tell me, come on!

[abyssalflame]

You first.

[...Evasive maneuvers.]

What is this force that you speak of?

( she's never heard of such a thing before now, and can't quite imagine what sensitivity to it means. )

[ video | un: professorx ]

[axiomed]

[ . . . Huh. ]

How does this sensation manifest?

[xwings]

How about a drink to go with a round of cards?

[ and stories about the state of the galaxy when they're both from. ]
