Peace Corps, if it's the same organization that exists in my world.

It's normal to miss your people. It would be normal even if you had just moved, and this is very different than moving.

[mistersquirrels]

yeah you're right! its corps!

Such a weird way of spelling it

this is totally different from moving yeah i mean I can't just call them on the phone or anything

which sucks

[musicdied]

English has a lot of strange spelling. But I think that one is borrowed from French, so it's not completely your fault.

If we can be brought here, there's probably a way to communicate with people from our worlds. But it might be a very bad idea, even if we could figure it out.

[mistersquirrels]

Good cause that makes me feel better

Really? why would it be a bad thing?

[musicdied]

Because the consequences could be much bigger than just confusing and worrying a friend.

[abrightboy]

I do miss bickering with my sister. It sounds like you and Jack are close.

[mistersquirrels]

isn't it funny how much you miss something that originally was annoying

id bicker with my brother too but now I miss it and him

yeah I am super close to jack he's my buddy

[abrightboy]

Just your buddy?

[mistersquirrels]

and my roommate!

At least before we both moved

[abrightboy]

Why did you move out of a perfectly amenable living arrangement?

[When Callisto was given the gift of literacy upon arrival in Gloucester, this included the ability to understand the little dots and squiggles that come along with letters, and that's how she knows that the first reply she types up - I miss my family. - doesn't cut it. I miss my family! doesn't either, because that symbol can mean excitement just as easily as it can mean anger. There's no punctuation mark meant for indicating grief - a huge oversight, as far as she's concerned - and without that, everything she writes and then deletes without sending reads as too conversational. Too calm. Too small for the depth of feeling she wants to convey.

Until she lands on a semi-acceptable solution.]

I MISS MY FAMILY! THEY ARE NO AFTERTHOUGHT, OR FINAL LINE TO ADD TO A LITANY! THEY ARE EVERYTHING!

[mistersquirrels]

[Coming from a pre-text society as well, it takes him a second to realize it's the written equivalent of yelling.

Fun!]

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

IM SORRY YOU ARE MISSING THEM A LOT TOO

IT SUCKS DOESNT IT

[myfavoritemurder]

[what in the world does "it sucks" mean]

You don't act like it. IF YOU TRULY MISSED THEM, THEY WOULDN'T BE LAST ON YOUR LIST.

[mistersquirrels]

[You should learn it, it's a great and valuable term!]

I TOTALLY ACT LIKE IT

YOU CAN'T SEE IT RIGHT NOW BUT I'M MAKING AN 'I MISS MY FAMILY TIMES A MILLION' FACE

IT'S A VERY SAD FACE

JACK IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO ME AS MY FAMILY HE'S LIKE FAMILY TOO OK AND RACHEL

[aelwyn_aberration]

Of course, I think it's only natural.

[Except she doesn't. She should feel guilty for how little she misses everyone but she doesn't. Good riddance to everyone who's still alive, she says.]

It's possible they'll turn up here too, you know. These friends of yours, I mean.

[mistersquirrels]

you really think that might happen

im gonna hope for it even if it doesn't happen it's a nice thought

[aelwyn_aberration]

Whatever helps, I think. If it really did happen, it'd be certainly complicated, but I don't think any of us should resign oursleves to believing that we'll never see our loved ones again.

I, for one, have no intention of staying a prisoner in this world.

[carmesi]

i think of how much easier for me things would be if my family was here with me, but it does not mean it might be easy for them. considering where we are and why we are here.

this time of year is especially hard, isn't it? my thoughts are always steering to memories of them.

[mistersquirrels]

I didn't really think about it that way like

my best friend and roommate jack I think might be susecp

susseptibble

ok however you spell that word that means he might get caught up in the bad side of all this stuff

im sorry you're missing your family too, it really is hard this time of year.

[carmesi]

i would say the same of my brother, but i think he would be angry if i did not give him more credit than that.

we just have to make sure we return home. i know it's not that simple, but it is the hope that i can hold on to. perhaps we will even make our worlds a safer place for them with what we do here.

have you made friends during your time here?

[mistersquirrels]

Same here I think Jack would be annoyed if I said that to him but hey it's the truth sooooo

me too, that's the hope, right? we got here somehow, that means there's gotta be some way back?

I have just a little, i want to make a lot more friends too!

text; un: clay

[thatsreallygreat]

oh yeah
my family and my friends
I just got my family back not that long ago
and I have a friend here, Im grateful for that
but i miss people

my sisters especially i think

[mistersquirrels]

im glad that you got your family back!

And made new friends, im trying to make more friends here too, it helps a lot.

I have one sister but she's kind of annoying I hope your sisters are nice

[thatsreallygreat]

I like my sisters very much.
not so sure about nice, not always
not Calliope
but i love them

and i have some new friends here i think

[mistersquirrels]

yeah same here like I still love my family and my brother and sister even when they're annoying

that's great! i mean i guess when it comes down to it, it could be worse. Having friends helps a lot
