I dearly hope everyone is safe after the turmoil in Olympia.
Wyver too, I've heard, though I was fortunate enough to not to experience it myself.

Does anyone else find it odd? That tensions were suddenly inflamed in such a way. Normal people turning violent.
Or the refugees ourselves having our own aggressive tendencies reinforced and heightened.

It's hard to believe that all of this is entirely natural, or the result of simple historical tensions.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? Something that has this sort of aggressive effect on the populace?

If my reason is correct, though, it wouldn't be the politicians at fault.
It'd be another group or groups.

Who aren't any less duplicitous, mind you.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, but they care too much about the politics of this stupid planet to not leave well enough alone. I don't like the governments of either place much myself,
but I stay in my frickin' lane.

In all fairness, we're refugees. They're natives. (Presumably.) It's understandable that they'd have more connection to this place than you or I would.

The Celestials just had to pick a planet where everyone was fighting each other.

Guess it could be a boring planet.

If we're being asked to deal with this Storm when all is said and done, I would have infinitely preferred a planet without these distractions.

[beatupgrass]

Maybe they'll just wipe each other out.

[Maybe the Storm was just the idiots who killed each other along the way.]

[fiendennor]

Perhaps. That's a little horrifying to think about, but perhaps. I certainly hope we could avert an outcome like that.
