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?

A good thing honestly.

I know some people may say different but that’s their loss.

[fiendennor]

If someone is content with complacency, I suppose that's on them.
I'd go mad, personally. Stagnancy is... intolerable.

[braidedwonder]

That's my thought too but I know enough people who like it to be a bit put off, though.

Doesn't help that this place isn't.. quite what I thought with this whole thing going on.

Makes a guy edgy.

[fiendennor]

Would you mind elaborating on that?
What were you expecting, and how does it differ?

[braidedwonder]

I don't know.

No one really expects to come to a place to I guess help and have everyone suddenly have a problem that you're breathing in their space, you know?

[fiendennor]

I suppose not.
But we are outsiders. Not to condone it, but fear and suspicion of newcomers is far from uncommon.

[braidedwonder]

I'm not opposed to them being cautious at all.

Just, you know. Don't try to throw people in to fire pits.

[fiendennor]

...they were doing that in Wyver?

[braidedwonder]

Yeah. Trying to, anyway.
