So I ended up in stasis for a few weeks, which is utter nonsense, and I wake up to all this chaos? What the HELL has been going on?

[There's a long pause, and then a mumble.]

Don't even get me started on that stupid Exhibition Hall.

Is it... [She sucks in a breath.] Is it safe? To go back down to Olympia? Or is it better to stay on the Station for now?

[She hasn't felt this out of her depth since she woke up that first time.]

No one's getting kidnapped or anything anymore, but give it a day. You'll come back down and it'll all go to shit again.

[winddaughter]

[fffffffffffffffff]

Why... ['Why' is a good one to settle on. She's also stuck on the rest of the W's. Who. When. WHAT. He uncertainty is obvious.] Why were people being kidnapped?

[beatupgrass]

I think it was mostly different reasons, but, honestly, I feel like it was a lot of "screw you, that's why."

[winddaughter]

[sounds legit]

...is everyone okay? Do you know how many people it was?

[beatupgrass]

I don't think anyone died... Well, maybe that Prior kid did, but he's fine now. Probably.

[Erm.] Okay is relative, I guess. Dunno how many it ended up being, but it was between Olympia and Wyver both, so I'm bettin' a lot.

[winddaughter]

[She doesn't know Prior nor does she exactly care except] How can he be dead and then fine?

Of course it was between Olympia and Wyver. [SIGH. There's also a weird animal groaning sound which would be Gulliver.] Because why would those stupid aristocrats ever get along...

[beatupgrass]

Good question! Celestial crap is my guess.

Celestial crap and politics are my two favorite things right now. I just love how I get both in abundance ever since the Storm ate my galaxy.

[That's his sarcasm voice. Spoiler.]

[winddaughter]

Celestial... okay... [Doesn't even know what to do with that. Probably on par with the Vodarac.] At least I have some familiarity with dumb politics I guess. Because that really gives me a one-up in this place. [Have some more sarcasm to add to his sarcasm.]

[beatupgrass]

I feel like unless you're that broad who drinks blood casually, nobody has a one-up in Wyver, 'cause these idiots are insane. Meanwhile, Olympia's stuck up its own ass. Can't win for losin'.

[winddaughter]

....wait who drinks blood??

[YOU KNOW THE WEIRDEST PEOPLE.]

[beatupgrass]

[He really does.]

Huh. Y'know, I don't think I caught her name. Oh well. Have fun sortin' that one out.

[winddaughter]

Gross. She better not take a bite out of me, she might regret it.

[beatupgrass]

I would hope she just eats locals, otherwise somebody would've bitched about it by now.

People love bitching on these things.

[winddaughter]

People are also really dumb.

[In the driest tone: ]

Thinking you should have rolled over and gone back to sleep for a few days?

[winddaughter]

Probably! [Huff. Honestly, the dry tone doesn't bother her.] Lie down and pretend it's all a dream.

Jeez...

[agradecido]

[She can't hear his smirk, but she'll hear the little huff.]

That would be quite the nightmare. It's as "safe" in Olympia as it ever has been, I suppose, so long as you stay aware of your surroundings.

[winddaughter]

Okay. Thank you. That's about as good as anyone can ask for, huh?

[agradecido]

I'd say yes, but I'm a bit biased. Some might even say cynical.

[winddaughter]

[Given that she tells newcomers the worst things about this place... she's probably a cynic, too.] I think being cynical keeps us sane.
