Sooo... [ There's a bit of an awkward silence before Lena lets out a small cough. ]

It's been a year and we aren't dead yet! Most of us aren't ... some of us haven't gone through death here ... the world below us is sort of crashing and burning a bit ... but, we're all still here and alive! I like to think that's an improvement.

[ Is it an improvement from her previous life? No, not really. But, Lena does want to try cheer people up and brighten up the mood, even if she started off a little shaky because it's not like she does this often. ]

If you've been here the entire time, or just for a few months, I'd love to hear about what you've come to enjoy about this place. [ Because everyone has had to have lived differently here and gone through different experiences, and by getting people to talk about what they've enjoyed and learned to move is a great way to lighten everyone's spirits.

Right?

She hopes so. Besides, this gives her the chance to meet new people too. ]

Right?!
If we can get through this then we can get through anything! I mean, when we first landed, we all worked hard together to help everyone that got hurt and to find Olympia.

I really enjoyed seeing that sight because it just makes you feel warm and good inside.

[planetary_bonds]

Even after the disaster that forced us out of there early, right?

[It feels like so long ago.]

If we do the same now, I think we might be able to find this...original the Natha told us about. I wonder why they won't speak with them...

[quevalry]

Yuuup.

I am sure that we can. I imagine that something might have gone wrong...? Not everyone is okay with leaving everything they know behind, it sucks.

[planetary_bonds]

You're right. I know I wasn't.

[Still not, honestly.] At the same time, that inability to move on...it can cause so much trouble down the line.

[quevalry]

Neither was I. [ She still misses her old life, no matter how much she enjoys her current one. ]

You've got a painful and yet good point there. There's no use in living in the past when you've still got a bright future ahead of yourself.

[planetary_bonds]

There's a difference between using the past to push yourself forward and getting mired in it.

[He says that, and yet...] Still...it's a fine line to walk, I think.

[quevalry]

Yeah, that's true. ... Oh well! We just need to keep our heads up high and do our best,

[planetary_bonds]

Sometimes that's all we can do.

Your enthusiasm despite the odds is very much welcome, honestly.

[quevalry]

Heh, thanks! I try my best to because there's nothing worst then being in the dumps all the time because I feel like that gets people nowhere.

[planetary_bonds]

I think others could use that kind of strength.

[Himself included. Sometimes he just feels like he goes forward because he just has to.]

Being able to do that...it's something that's sorely underrated, I think.

[quevalry]

Everyone can. [ There's no harm in it after all. ]

And something that everyone should learn about, too.

[planetary_bonds]

Learning about it is simple. Believing in it...not so much.

[quevalry]

How much of it do you believe in it?

[planetary_bonds]

Me? It's something very important to me.

[So...greatly. Even if his moroseness doesn't show it.]

But making others understand...can be a challenge.

[quevalry]

It will be the two of us against the world, we've got this.

Although, I bet there are others who feel the same way so all we need is to find them and then get working.

[planetary_bonds]

It's surprising what only a few people can do against the world.

When you look at it that way, then forging your own path is a simple matter.

[quevalry]

Yeah? To be perfectly honest, that makes me a little nervous, but it's nothing I can't handle.
