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. ]

I'm not sure how to really describe it.

I guess it wasn't a very safe place to live, outside of a few places. Lots of danger. But it's the only world I ever knew, until this one. We had monsters not quite like the dragon that was summoned but that have always been in the world.

[quevalry]

I guess living here is somewhat easier in that case? I mean, danger still lurks about, but it's still pretty safe. [ most of the time. ]

[nevernoaction]

It is a little easier. I miss combat training in school.

[What he misses most of all are the friends still frozen in stasis.]

What kind of world do you come from?

[quevalry]

There are still loads of places to train here!

Hm. A very futuristic type of world where animals can talk, androids are their own living being. That sort of stuff.

[nevernoaction]

I suppose you're right. I didn't have a chance to explore every part of Olympia.

But your animals really talk? And..what's an android?

[quevalry]

I hope that you get the chance to do so.

Mhm! My best friend does, he's a gorilla annnd an android is a machine with an AI. They can walk, talk and do everything a person can.

Winston's the best

[nevernoaction]

[Oh, that must be like Penny? Interesting. Ren's more into the talking gorilla.]

A talking gorilla? I don't suppose he's here, is he?

l o v e him.

[quevalry]

I wish! I really do wish he was... I miss him. He's in the stasis unit though.

[nevernoaction]

[He's not alone. He's not the only one missing people still asleep.]

All of my friends are still sleeping too.

But what is he like? We don't have talking gorillas where I'm from.

[quevalry]

He's great! The smartest being I know and it's honestly thanks to him, I'm still here.

[ Being able about Winston always helps lighten her mood, or at least, put her into a much better way. ]

He's honestly not any different from you or I besides being an animal.

[nevernoaction]

Is Winston the only talking gorilla around or are there a whole tribe of them?

[Because they'd probably all be a bit intimidating. But maybe all really smart?]

[quevalry]

Hm... just the open that I know off. I don't think the others really survived or... if they talk.

Why don't you come with me when I go give him a visit one day?

[nevernoaction]

Really? That's actually very kind of you.

[And because this person has been more than welcome in talking to him, he feels more relaxed to actually talk instead of text.]

I think I'd like that a lot.

[quevalry]

[ Progress!! ]

That's wonderful! I'm Lena, by the way, Lena Oxton. Sometimes people call me Tracer though and I'm happy with either one.

[nevernoaction]

Tracer? My name name is Lie Ren, but you can call me Ren.

[Yeah, just be prepared that if they meet in person, Ren will most likely let Tracer do the talking and he'll listen along.]

[quevalry]

Lie Ren, that's a pretty cool name.

It's a real pleasure to meet you, and I hope we can become good friends. [ Because she's a great friend that will chat your ears off.

Like Nora. ]

[nevernoaction]

[Then they will get along great. Just as long as you aren't eating all the syrup or trying to sound like a sloth.]

I hope so too.

[quevalry]

[ No promises. ]

Make sure not to be a stranger if you ever see me out there -- I'm a brunette, got a huge thing strapped to my chest so I'll be hard to miss.
