Well, I would hardly claim this is my favoured method of passing time, but there’s no use protesting. Sometimes we need to knuckle down and ensure the work is done. Because as you can see for yourself, sometimes the work is dull.

In any case, I am offering everyone a pleasant extra-curricular activity to pass the time.

Try responding to this post with the first word that comes to mind. Respond to words posted by others with other words that come to mind. I am more than aware such games are not for everybody, but perhaps you should give it a shot.

Ah, I suppose I should get us started:

Police.

As in, somebody call the police because this is Hell.

Well, it's not very stimulating.

The opposite in fact. Not everyone has a great relationship with the outdoors.

[bubblegumheart]

I'm sorry you're not enjoying it. Maybe the next thing we have to do will be something you like better.

[restingstitchface]

Thank you. I appreciate your consideration and likewise hope the next activity finds you well.

[bubblegumheart]

You're welcome. This one's not so bad so far. Were you here for the previous one?

[restingstitchface]

Not at all. Was the previous one strange?

[Give him the goss.]

[bubblegumheart]

I suppose that depends on your definition of strange. We were sent to a dying world where everything was like a game show on steroids.

[restingstitchface]

Ah, that place?

Apologies. I thought you meant the world that preceded my arrival. Not the strange dystopian hellhole we had to survive.

[bubblegumheart]

Yea, that one.

No need to apologize. It's kind of hard to keep track of everyone coming and going. I do feel a little bad about not being able to do much to help that place, but I suppose the point of going was just to show us what happens when things get bad enough.

[Or maybe to prove that they're not being lied to about the state of their own worlds. Either way, it made an impression.]

[restingstitchface]

I suppose so. I mean you're right, of course. Aurora apparently wants to create an impression about something. I know some people cannot trust her intentions. But at least I can certainly see you have the edge on me when it comes to experience.

Thanks for sharing it with me.

[Her knowledge of these missions. The history of this place.]

[bubblegumheart]

Are you one of the people who can't trust her intentions?

[Chrissy's kind of on the fence, but she's inclined to believe the best of people until proven otherwise.]

Oh. You're welcome. Everyone is new once.
