It was great that everyone shared their baby names with me! Thank you, everyone. A couple of you guessed why. I'm going to have a baby of my own. I'll probably be back on Rica by the time he's born, but I still wanted to hear your ideas.

Today I've got some more questions, in the interest of cultural exchange.

What's one of your favourite things about the station?
and
What's something you really liked about where you're originally from?

You don't have to answer both. If you really dislike either the station or where you're from, that's okay, but I'm trying to surround myself with positive ideas today.

Could you also please write to me if you speak any of the languages of the nearby planets fluently and might be willing to come with me on a visit and translate for me?

	Dean likes how peaceful the Station is, and how friendly everyone here is. Everyone had made feel welcome, and do not judge Dean for not being smart or being a Dragon. And the food is the best Dean has ever had!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Those are all great things! I like that too, that people aren't judged just for being who they are. Have you tried oranges? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes! That is why Dean will be here to do Dean's best to protect any and all of the others on the Station. :D

Yes, Dean has! Does... Uh.. Libe.... Grmph.. Liberty!! Have Oranges?!?!! Dean likes Oranges a lot!

[Private, somehow]

Dean is sorry to say, Dean knows that Liberty wanted happy things to be said.. But Dean did not like being used as a weapon for others in his own world. But, Dean understands that it is because of how Dean was raised and taught, and how the monsters were about. Dean also knows if Dean is needed to be used as a weapon, Dean will.

Dean just wants to help anyone Dean meets..

Liberty has oranges! Do you want some? On Rica, where I'm from, there were no oranges, and I grew up listening to people talk about them and how nice they were. I never thought I'd get to actually taste one.

It's not right that those people on your homeworld treated you that way, Dean.

You're an individual with your own rights too. It's wrong for anyone to use you. If they want you to fight monsters, they should make a fair contract with you, so that you're paid fairly for your work.

You don't have to help everyone, okay? Or protect them. I bet you don't like everyone on the station, right? There are some people you like a lot and you'd want to help, and others you don't like or even just don't know so well. It's okay to think about your own values, Dean. What do you want? Not other people. You.

Dean would love some Oranges! It does not matter where they came from, Dean would love to taste one! :D

[Private]

No... As much sd Dean does not like it,, Dean is a needed weapon. Dean is strong, others are not. Dean will always protect the weak from the strong! No matter the cannons, no matter the monsters. Dean will do Dean's best to make sure only Dean is harmed. Dean can take it all!

Dean just said what Dean wants. To help, to protect. In Dean's world, there were things that only want to harm innocents to eat...

Has Liberty seem a small child be taken away and eaten by a monster? Dean has. There was no reason for that monster. It was not.. Grr... It was not supposed to be there!!

Dean is sorry for bring Dean's problems to you. Dean will...Go away now.

I'll bring you some oranges, then. I don't want you to go away, otherwise how can I bring them?

Dean, I'm not saying that you can't help children in danger if you want to. I'm saying that you're not obligated to protect everyone on this station.

Let me ask you this. Why is it okay for you to be harmed? You have value too. You're a person, not just some weapon or thing to be used by others. That's really wrong and it makes me sad because where I'm from we'd never treat someone like that. We'd value your strength and be thankful if you used it to help people, we wouldn't demand that you did it or make you feel like it was the only thing that mattered about you.

Okay. Dean will not go away.

Dean will always help children in danger!

But, Dean is of the Totem. Dean wants to protect others. Dean even fought against Dean's own tribe when they started hurting others for no reason. Only the bad people and monsters deserve to be harmed.

No one needs to make Dean feel like this, Dean already does. Dean loves everyone here, and does not want anyone to come to harm. So, Dean will do the best Dean can to make sure of that!

	My answer to both is the people. If you want an actual thing, I'd say for the station, it's the neat robot that washes the dishes in the food court. That's a real help. Back home, my favourite thing was the Ruby, the restaurant I owned. I took a lot of pride in it. It was the reason I moved to Dog River and changed my life. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've heard that before. Some people don't mind where they are as long as they have friends there. It's a nice way to look at things. Do you have a restaurant here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacey_burrows 2022-03-20 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, it is! Having friends makes all the difference. When I lived in Toronto, even though it was a big city, I felt lonely. In Dog River, the island, and here, I've never felt isolated. I do. It's in the food court. Stop by any time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Congratulations ~~again~~ Liberty! My favourite thing about the station is that people here are generally more accepting of the strange and unusual. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	libertybecket 2022-03-20 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! Yes, I like that too! It makes me sad to learn that it wasn't always the case for people where they came from. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I speak the languages. Hello, I am Kelan. On the station, I like that I am free, and that I am with Sookie. Back home, I liked my family's farm. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hello Kelan! It's good to meet you. I'm Liberty.

As you might guess from the name, freedom is really important to my people too, so I'm glad this is a better place for you.

And you'd be willing to interpret? My first visit would be just to see what things are like, but if everything goes well I'd like to try to set up trade with our neighbours. We can obtain goods through the doorways that they might be interested in - but the language barrier means that I can't do it on my own.
