What do you miss most about home?

[ that's it; that's the post. i'm sure it has nothing to do with the coincidental timing of japan leaving. ]

My apartment. A couple people.

What about you?

[goban]

I miss the land. The smell of the ocean. Things that aren't the same here.

[coolerjunpei]

Huh. Yeah, I get it. The apartment's nicer here than at home but at home it was mine, you know? That kind of thing, right?

[goban]

Yes. No matter how nice this is, it'll never feel the same.

[coolerjunpei]

Yeah. Context matters, who knew. Weirds me out when people go crazy singing praises for this place.

[goban]

I imagine it's freeing for them. They don't have to worry about their inhibitions if they can blame it on a necessity to moonlace for chroma.

[coolerjunpei]

I don't really care about the sex stuff. Go wild, woo. But we're still trapped here, and shady shit keeps happening.

[goban]

I never said it was a good thing.

[coolerjunpei]

Never said you did. Just saying I'm not talking about the "being freed" stuff. That's not my business.

[goban]

Then don't talk about.

[coolerjunpei]

Uh. Okay? You remember being the one who brought up people's inhibitions, right?

[goban]

Only because you said it was strange that people liked being here.

[coolerjunpei]

Yeah, because we got kidnapped to an alien planet, not because it's great to get laid. Nothing wrong with getting laid.

I get kidnapped a lot and it makes me sensitive, what can I say.

[goban]

Try not to let your emotions get the better of you. No one is condoning kidnapping.

[local man has never not let his emotions get the best of him, more as story develops]

The locals are. "Blessed"? Come on.
