So all this tension between Wyver and Olympia and stuff has me wondering...

Does this remind anyone else of before a war broke out in their homes? Granted I was like.. a little, little kid when mine first started but I remembered this kinda junk going on.

Earthers vs. spacers even out in the streets, that kinda thing.

People acting like they're better than other people because some politician says so, or, you know, some legacy story that makes one 'better' but, you know, when a place is destroyed because some politician wants money or whatever everyone starts looking a lot alike, right?

Also curious if anyone's planning on joining up with one side or the other and why, if you are..

No ulterior motives and definitely not taking names for a roster for someone or anything, just curious on why a refugee would feel so connected to a place already or something like that.

And you're not going to curse at me? Point out the unhealthiness of feeling superior to others?

[braidedwonder]

Eh. Been there, done that, they all just laugh and move along like you're the idiot. Better not to waste the breath.

Most of 'em ended up dead though. One way or another.

[vorrutyer]

A paranoid man might read a threat into that.

[braidedwonder]

Have fun with that if that's where you're at.

Not really my line of work anymore and not aiming to go back.

[vorrutyer]

What, murder?

[braidedwonder]

Military-esque work just without the official association.

Probably the best way to put it.

[vorrutyer]

That makes you sound like an assassin. Or a mercenary, I suppose.

[braidedwonder]

Let your imagination run free man. Just lets the legend build.

[vorrutyer]

Ooh, or maybe you played a lot of holo-games.

[braidedwonder]

Played old restored arcade games, but no on holo.

Unfortunately because it sounds great.

[vorrutyer]

Really? But you just talked about spacers.

[braidedwonder]

Yeah, I know.

But I ain't from the side of the tracks that has enough money for that kinda thing. Plus, the challenge is in making the old stuff work for me.

[vorrutyer]

Oh. You're a hobbyist.

[braidedwonder]

Not really sure what that means to agree with it, honestly. I just hang out with a bunch of guys who like scrapping and repairing stuff and give 'em a hand now that the war's over.
