Thank you to all who assisted me upon my arrival. I am forever in your debt.

To everyone else, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Enjolras, I am a scholar and a printmaker from Paris. My English is primarily theoretical, not conversational, so your patience with me is appreciated.

I hope to make myself useful. I am not a person who is idle.

	Viva le Revolution? Or is it la? I haven't spoken french in a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Forgive me? It has been a very very long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering the sentiment, how could I not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it helps win any points, I did yell it properly at the top of my lungs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That definitely helps! It is not something to be only whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No sir. And maybe it should be grouped with a few choice words as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Looks like we should have had you with us. You could have rallied the troops with your battle cries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-24 02:30 am UTC (link)
	You could have absolutely had me with you, doing more than rally the troops. I ~~was~~ would have been fighting right beside you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even though you must know we lost? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-24 09:21 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Especially then. It was a good cause Enjorlas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-10-24 10:01 am UTC (link)
	I know. I don’t regret it. I can’t, it would be like spitting on those who gave their lives for the cause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-24 11:05 am UTC (link)
	You know, that kind of makes it your duty to live the very best life you can, since you have a slight reprieve from the fight, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I had to return, I estimate I have thirty seconds before I am martyr. I believe that it is necessary, but I will savour my borrowed time while I am allowed it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-25 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I wish I could say otherwise, but most will be martyred. Some get away, but... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-10-25 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Most already are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-25 07:47 am UTC (link)
	Well this conversation went somber quickly. Are you a drinking man, Enjolras? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-10-25 09:59 am UTC (link)
	Sorry. It has been a dark time. Sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-26 07:28 am UTC (link)
	I know. I'm sorry if I made harder being here. I have good French wine stocked, and I probably have some from your era. You are welcome to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-10-26 07:54 am UTC (link)
	No, it is best to keep talking about them. And you are being right, it is a reprieve for now. Maybe years, it seems. Thank you, that’s very kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-26 10:56 am UTC (link)
	They live as long as you keep them in your heart. And share their best stories. I run the club here [location] and if you ignore anything beyond the large wooden doors, that cover the alcohol, it's not to shockingly modern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I feel completely lost without~~ The wound is fresh. In time I will speak of them properly. We I am grateful for your support. I do not know which currency you are using here, or how to acquire it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course. I didn't mean now. When you can think of them and their antics before the Revolution, and smile, that's a good tell for when your ready.

There is no currency here. I ask, if you drink from the top shelves, that you preform a service for your fellow men on the station. But that is only because the drinks up there are rare and very hard to refill, once they are gone.

	Then I will get back to you when it is so. I see. It is good to know I am therefore not in debt already for my meals and medical care. I am understanding now why you would be on the side of revolution. It sounds like the community of which Saint-Simon would desire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2019-10-28 04:40 am UTC (link)
	I look forward to it. Not at all, for some your health and your simple enjoyment of the meal is payment enough. I can't speak for all though, because that would be presumptuous. And I don't know about Saint-Simon, he might think this was just a weird sex cult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
