[ Voice, open to all ]

'Bout a week ago, some guy asked me how many people I'd seen come an' go since I got here. In three months it's somethin' like... 70 out of 110. Probably more now, I ain't bothered countin'... but that kinda stuff can really get you down, even when you don't know th' numbers. We lose people all th' time here. People we got to know here, friends from back home... [ He falls silent for a beat. Draws a steadying breath. ] An' it's sad. It's damn sad an' there ain't nothin' we can do 'bout it but keep goin'.

...I guess I just wanted t' remind y'all about th' Memorial Garden down in Sector 4. Anyone who wants t' plant somethin' there in memory of someone they lost, whether they were here or back home... you're welcome to. It's for all of us, th' ones that are still here an' the ones that aren't.

[ Voice, locked to Sougo ]

Hey, Sougo... I need your help with somethin'.

[ Action, open ]

[ Aidan will be dividing his day between lugging boxes between Sector 2 and 4, and later spending a few long hours in the Memorial Garden. Feel free to approach the pensive country boy! ]

[She brushes some hair back behind her ear and wonders if she should have brought a tie for it. Still, she nods in agreement.]

I know a lot of people want to go home--myself included!--but days like this are...good for us. Not worrying about things at least for a little while. Everyone needs that. [Then she laughs awkwardly.] The closest we had last was that tea party. I'm not sure it's the same.

[ He nods a little, agreeing while still disagreeing with parts of her statement. He for one doesn't want to go home... or didn't until Helix disappeared. Now he's not so sure anymore. Marina has become a home to him and leaving it behind now feels just as hard as it was being away from his real home in the beginning. ]

I, uh... I kinda missed that. Slept through th' whole thing. [ Because he was horribly hung over. ] Sougo didn't seem to enjoy it though, so I can only imagine what it was like.

	I didn't experience anything strange myself, but um...people were very different that day. [The politest way of saying it.] It wasn't so different from the other times things like that happened, but it was rather...deliberate of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Nodding and chewing. ] You're right... usually it seems to be a whole lot more of a mistake. Don't think they've ever invited us to be messed up like that before. So, uhm... what happened? Sougo only really talked 'bout evil cake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She takes a bite herself and chews for a moment while thinking of how to explain it.] People would drink it and they would act differently. Worried about time. Or in a much happier mood than was...appropriate. It was unsettling all in all, but I didn't see anything dangerous, so perhaps they did it to...make us realize they could.

	[ He suppresses a shudder. ] Man... I think I liked it better when they goofed up. This is just... this ain't right, them doing this to us. (Reply to this) (Parent)
