[He was still learning this whole earpiece device, so excuse him for it turning on and there sound like someone was fiddling with the setting. Where was his far more technologically inclined smart kid to help him? Ah well, he did realize it was on sooner than later thankfully.]

Uh... sorry? [Chagrin tone.] I was curious about an idea, since I still consider myself fairly new to this situation. Here's hoping you all with entertain me here:

What does a sense of community mean or feel like to you?

[A beat of a pause.]

Is it friends and family? Is it gathering places and camaraderie? How about a sense of people uniting for a specific purpose in mind? Everyone here has their own agendas and their own interests, and, with no overt crime present at the moment, it's curious to me how we could build a sense of community around these parts.

Well, I am an old timer, and I can safely say that I haven't used that phrase yet.

I'm not bringing actual age into it! Honestly! I mean the people that have been in Etraya the longest. The ones with their literal houses in order on the other islands.

There are a lot of strange out of this world buildings here. Though, I heard it wasn't that difficult to make those requests, and it doesn't take more than a few months for some.

[welcome_summer]

That's still more months than we've been here. Which ones are the most strange to you?

[cantilevers]

Likely yeah. Most of the science buildings or these personal mansions for groups of people.

[welcome_summer]

The latter speaks to institutional wealth, organization... or both.

[cantilevers]

Or rich families. We have a lot of those. Cream at the top of the crop.
