[ 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. ]

Home isn't an option and so far we've been handicapped with having no resources to go anywhere else.

I was alone before I got here. Not the kind of self-imposted alone that someone might think of. Literally alone. Humanity was gone.

Being around people I can talk to about that has helped. Plus, I believe in working with the other Displaced and seeing them as friends and allies, even with my misgivings about trying to unify us around a singular concept or belief. (And that's partly because I had tried to see if it was possible long before we posed it here.)

Just the same, I think this is a good question to ask. Thanks for bringing it to the rest of us.

I should've thought of that. Maybe next time. I only stole a job this time.

there was another me here before too. and you woke up on the van just like everybody else, right? not in the safehouse?

Astute.

It's a safety net.

We come in with nothing. No credits, no identity. It's survival dependant upon help of the people around us. It takes more than an handful of weeks to fuck off anywhere.

A handful of people up on a space station, and another thousand down in a bunker. I got locked out of both. Long story. But being here beats that in a lot of ways.

["Long story" being "it's really sad, and I don't want to talk about it to someone I knew before but saw he didn't remember being here so I'm not covering a lot of it again at this exact moment." Sorry, Marcos.]

You're right that it doesn't work. I think we can unify under the desire for answers. Even those of us who want to be here are afraid the other shoe might drop.

And soon.

None of us are going to find any answers alone. And we won't be able to help anyone that way either.

[ this is a great conversation starter, but probably not the best follow-up to their last conversation. if you could call it a conversation. ]

i guess for most people it's just not an option yet
you have to have money to live anywhere else, and you have to get a job to get any.


[ have you gotten a real job yet, marcos?? ]
