[ marcos hadn't really expected to be back on this network so soon but he'd said he'd do something and while it was a little later than expected, he was going to follow through with that. ]

Not too long ago, I was here with questions about a different version of me being here before. Seems like there's a few people that's happened to now so our club's growing. I'm not here for that today.

During that conversation, I told someone that I'd ask a question to all the Displaced because she was curious and honestly, I am too.

Question is why do you stick around? Why haven't more of you 'fucked off into oblivion' to quote the last conversation I had about this? Is it because there's nowhere else better to go? Or something else?

[ it'd be interesting to see if there was genuine thought in some of the answers, if people didn't know there was anywhere else to go, or just didn't want to make the effort. ]

To be clear, I'm not advocating one way or another. Just posing the question.

[ OOC: this isn't an official mod requested communication and isn't part of some bigger plot. it's just curiosity born of a conversation marcos had with gaby here that he said he'd ask about so he's asking. feel free to talk to each other, of course, and i'll answer as i can. ]

No. You're not the first person I've met who's said that. Makes me wonder what kind of place you came from.

[culver]

One you don't want to visit. Trust me.

[heliophilous]

Well, I hope you're able to stick around here, then.
I don't know if I'd make that choice but that's just me.
And I've got stuff I've gotta do back there.

[culver]

I've heard a lot of people say that. What kind of stuff do you have to do?

[heliophilous]

A lot of loose ends that need to be sewn up.
I have friends that I need to help.

[culver]

[she understands that. unfortunately, back home she'd never really been able to help her friends in a way that really felt meaningful. here is different, though.]

Then I hope we find a way home for you.

[heliophilous]

And I'd do everything possible to make sure you got your wish to stay here.

[ it doesn't matter that he doesn't know what he'd do or how, when the time came, he'd make sure he tried. ]

[culver]

[oh well that's
really nice of him]

Thanks.

I'm Nill, by the way,

Marcos.

I hope it doesn't come to that, by the way. A struggle. I hope everyone gets their choice to do what they want since we definitely didn't get a choice in coming here in the first place.

[culver]

I hope so, too.
