So are we hearing anything back on the Ministry or should we just go forward with that? I don't think I've been this idle in ever.

[Ward to Moody]
So we've not really talked since I got back.

I believe people are waiting for the rules of this election to be finalized by the Scientists before we start organizing in earnest.

I confess, I am likewise unused to being so idle, but that was as true of my time in the Compound as it is here. I imagine we will all have work soon enough. Whatever else one may say of them, the Scientists do not seem inclined to let us grow complacent.

	Yeah, I guess patience has never been my strong point. When you put it that way, it almost sounds ominous (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The same has been said of me, though I have tried to school myself in it. With mixed results, I must confess. It was only partly intended to be so. Though it seems we are meant to think of this place as a home away from home, I cannot shake the feeling that Flips we experience in the future may present more daunting challenges. Nothing without price, as it were. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know how successful we can really be in things like that. it's kind of a core trait.

Ones in the past certainly have. It's a little unsettling considering how violent some of the first few were that we're essentially playing house and opening sweet shops here. I don't know if the first few were such a failure they moved beyond that, or, if it's just building on the horizon.

I guess prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

	I would myself prefer to think it represents a change, but as you say, prepare for the worst even while hoping for the best. And perhaps if we learn to work with one another in peaceful circumstances, we may be better able to face such challenges as those presented by Love World, or like what I have heard of Salem.

	Love world's the one I missed the second half of, but, it seemed a similar initial set up to Salem. I heard it was more successful. What are you doing this flip? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

In the end, indeed it did. But for all the good efforts of some, others acquitted themselves less creditably. But then putting aside the old enmities of our own worlds will alway be the greatest obstacle to working effectively as a group.

I've been focused on domestic matters, to now, but I too feel the need to find some form of useful employment. Though I intend to offer my services to whatever government we form, it certainly could not hurt to find some additional form of occupation as well.

	I'll admit I'm pretty bad at that part too. But do you think there's a point where we have to, or should look beyond someone's actions for the sake of unity here? There's always manufacturing, useful here, potentially if we can take it back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is true, there are some here I would never trust, given not simply their histories but the ways in which they have treated their fellows on arrival here. But if they would live in peace here, then I would give them the chance to do so ... but then I would also say there is a difference between observing a truce and granting pardon.

That's a thought. For my part, the main obstacle is translating the skills of my own time into this modern era. But though I am no master smith, but I have done some work with the forge.

	I can see why you make a good king. Maybe that's a better way to be looking at it. I've been considering carpentry. I signed up for International liaisons because the closest to what I was doing back home while still useful. But I'm wondering if it's really even a relevant department here where there don't seem to be other countries. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I always thought so. Fabienne I though everyone'd given up on that. Alright. Well. Explosives dont' work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not everyone. And now everyone seems to be upset with this place but I really could care less. I'm done talking about doing something. I'm going to do it. [...] well we haven't tried building our own explosives now, have we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They're only upset because their family members are taken. It's rarely channeled into anything productive.

I tried BMAF issued ones on the lockdown world. Insurrection seems to be one of the few things that provokes an actual punishment from the scientists. Didn't leave a scratch on the door. I know Moody and I looked the compound over from top to bottom for a weakness.

Not sure we ever found one.

	I more meant we swam beneath. Looked fairly impenetrable. But maybe it's less guarded when we have solid ground here. Too bad that Weasley boy isn't here, he seemed to have a hand for explosives. The female form of him is, right? Freddie? What are you doing here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hooch \| Fabs dontgiveadamn 2013-06-23 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Might be. Ha. You forget where they got their taste for explosives. The Weasley twins are more Prewett than anything else. I think explosives are best for distractions. We can placed timed bombs, censored even. I'm just throwing things out. Seems you and Moody have done enough already to know what works and what doesn't. Honing my skills, you?
