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. ]

[sparsity]

You too?

[ except he doesn't feel bad, oops ]

[quevalry]

Mhm. I suppose it's just human nature to be grateful that work keeps coming around no matter what, even if it sucks for some people.

[sparsity]

Yeah. Working for Wyver, or for Cree. It's all that way.

[quevalry]

Do you work for Cree? [ that's interesting information. ]

How is that?

[sparsity]

Sometimes, when he has jobs. The Gilded Cage pays a lot, but it's not always good work.

[quevalry]

Hm. Is someone as young as you really allowed to do work that gets their hands dirty? [ He looks too young to get into that sort of lifestyle.

Or maybe it’s because he’s short. ]

[sparsity]

[ A little of column A



a little of column B. ]

As long as the job gets done, it doesn't matter.

[quevalry]

I ... as long as you're not gonna do anything that will risk your life.

Otherwise, I'm gonna have to step in. [ MAYBE. if she can. ]

[sparsity]

Why? It's not like I think I'll die.

[ NEVERMINDING that he's kind of been there, done that. ]

[quevalry]

It would be a real shame to get you hurt! I guess because you're so young -- or sound young, I would hate to see that happen.

[ Esp if she could do something about it. ]

[sparsity]

It's fine. It's not your responsibility anyway.

[ It could sound callous, but he's being pretty mellow about it. ]

[quevalry]

I mean, you're not wrong, but at the same time, I am an adult so in a sense it is. Especially since I'm supposed to protect people.

[ pooout. ]

[sparsity]

[ Tongue click. ]

Adults here are weird.

[ Speaking of jobs, he supposes... ]

Was that what you did before here?
