What us?

( frown. well, they didn't want them exploring outside of the town but quill also didn't really care about that. maybe she'd sneak out )

[abrightboy]

Or something they haven't told us about.

[Hard to say; they're never given the whole picture.]

[vrituom]

Trap us in with it in the hopes that we kill it? If we don't they lose their apocalypse stopping chance.

( yes, more people arrived but never often or many )

[abrightboy]

[Malcolm shrugs.]

We don't know how many of us they actually need for that. We don't know what they actually know. All we know is what they tell us, and - for all we know - it isn't even true.

[vrituom]

I'd have thought more would have given them better outcomes.

[abrightboy]

If what they need is an army. If they need something more... precise, they don't necessarily need it in bulk.

[vrituom]

What do you think beats fear?

[abrightboy]

[He shrugs a shoulder.]

In my experience, you can't beat fear. You have to move through it.

[vrituom]

Not letting it control you is beating it.

( even if you're still afraid, if you don't let it stop you you've won. though quill's a little 'fight or lose' about a lot of things )

[abrightboy]

Even if it still eats you up inside?

[vrituom]

Who says it does?

( if it did you hadn't beaten it )

[abrightboy]

Mine does. It never goes away.
