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.

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

[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

[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?

[mistersquirrels]

we just graduated from college and he joined the peace cores

i mean peace corps

and I moved to New York with my brother and his wife

[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.

[abrightboy]

Really? What part? I live in SoHo.

[mistersquirrels]

greenwich village so I guess we're sorta neighbors that's cool!

[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.

[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!

[abrightboy]

Is it your first time in New York?

[mistersquirrels]

what kind of consequences? I mean wouldn't they be happy to hear from us?

[mistersquirrels]

I been there a couple times on road trips and stuff but it's my first time living there

i'm from Philadelphia

[abrightboy]

I spent some time in Philadelphia when I was with the FBI.

[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

[mistersquirrels]

oh cool! are you an FBI agent?

[abrightboy]

I used to be.

[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.

[musicdied]

Drawing attention to them. If we do find a way to communicate, it would have to be done very carefully.

[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.

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.
