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.

I don't really have plans. Even before the Storm, all I wanted was to survive.

The whole worlds breathing in our heart thing seems.. overly dramatic. I just want to seem normal enough to have a life.

[axiomed]

I don't think anyone fits under the norm anymore.

[krasnaya_vdova]

I suppose that depends on how you define it. But there's always some concept of what the norm is. Even in strange situations.

What does it mean to you?

[axiomed]

I never found the norm to be particularly helpful to anyone's self-esteem.

[ Certainly not Raven's. ]

But I have never been normal.

[krasnaya_vdova]

No, I suppose it's not.

Well, what do you consider normal?

[axiomed]

[ A pause. ]

For me, normal runs in conjecture to who I am. How I feel is normal. How I behave is normal. People do not need to understand it and I cannot blame them if they fail to.

[ Charles heard voices when he was nine. It took him three years to realize those voices weren't the signs of madness. Normal is not something he thinks about or considers. He will never be normal. He does not even know what that is. You cannot live with millions of voices in your mind and be able to stratify such a societal concept. ]
