I haven't been this bored since I went to uni. So what do you lot do around here? I mean, there can't be much use here for a journalist.

Also, what's the deal with the weird door?

	Does there have to be a use? Write because you have to write. Although I think there might be enough of us now to start a little print run of something or other if you wanted. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's nice to feel useful, I suppose. And I'm used to working around the clock. Having time off like this is just a bit... jarring? Really? Of course I'd be interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I know what you mean, but you can work for yourself, and then if you ever find yourself home again then you'll maybe have a 500 page novel under your belt. For example. Really, sure, why not. People still like to read, let's give the people what they didn't know they wanted until now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not even sure I'll have a home to go back to but the thought's nice. Might be better off here. I take it this place doesn't really have anything like that in place? I mean I couldn't find anything when I looked around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, yeah. Few people like that around. Guess it's... a second chance? People can make a decent life here ~~for the most part~~. Not at the moment, no. People tend to use the network, but it's not quite the same as a real paper. But then, I'm an old fashioned sort of guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would be all the better if I could make sure my family and friends were safe. I'm up for working on a newspaper if you are. There was talk of finding a printing press. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, as far as I can tell, everything pauses while you're here. So, however they were the second you left, is how they are right now. If/when you go back, you wake up right where you left off, like nothing's changed. Happened to me a few times now. Yeah, sure. Give me something new to work on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good to know. Cheers. Not sure how much we'd have to report but it could wind up being useful. I'll have a look around and see what I can find. (Reply to this) (Parent)
