I feel as a group of people, we've gone over many of the logistics, the fears and the desire to connect with others. We carry within ourselves, a world that may be long gone but continues to breathe in our hearts and I hope we can bring what is best of all our worlds together.

So my question is this: What kind of plans do you have for yourself? What kind of future do you hope to achieve?

Perhaps by working together, we can all come closer to our goals.

[axiomed]

Not quite. I'm hoping working at the Institute will help give me a better direction.

[trybelieving]

I thought about seeing if they had a spot for me there, but I'm still undecided.

Are you a scientist?

[axiomed]

Somewhat. I'm a geneticist and a professor. I tend to do more with the latter than the former these days.

[trybelieving]

You prefer to be teaching?

[axiomed]

I do. I always felt I made a better teacher than . . . anything else, to be honest.

I've never been anything but a fairy, I suppose that's why I'm struggling with the idea of a job.

[axiomed]

That would do it. But surely being a fairy doesn't preclude trying new things?

[trybelieving]

It's not that. I've just found, after struggling with it for a while, that being a fairy is a part of who I am. I'm happiest when I'm looking out for people.

It's a bit like you feeling your strength is in teaching. You seem like you're capable of many things, but that must be something that feels right for you.

[axiomed]

I can't deny I've been struggling myself.

[trybelieving]

In getting started here?

[axiomed]

Yes. I started something new not long ago and it was a trial getting my confidence back up. To repeat the process is slightly harder the second time around.

[trybelieving]

Are you lacking confidence, or waiting to see if there's a place for what you started in the world we're in now?

[axiomed]

Perhaps a little of both. What my life was in my world was very specific. I'll need to adapt my entire purpose and starting anew is always hard.

[trybelieving]

That's true for me, too. But it seems like you're starting to sort it out.

[axiomed]

I am trying. Though I don't know how far I'll get.
