[Alexei was finally returning from his mission today, unaware of what's been going on the last two weeks he had missed. He knew of a draft, but that was about it.

He'll definitely be asking around what he's missed, but first he's going to go and grab himself a seat at the Good Spirits Bar for a drink. He could use one or two of them right now.

It's there that he'll flip open his journal, vaguely gathering what people were even talking about before closing it. He decides to ask whomever was nearest to him. Could be the bartender or could be just another customer.]

Has anything been happening the last two weeks?

[Once he's had his fill of information-- and a bit of alcohol, he'll go back to the journal again and...start complaining about various things into it.]

You would think that if the Malnosso can manage to take us off this planet, they could get us all home.

It would seem so, wouldn't it? [Something about the tone, despite its calm, gives some added meaning to the words.]

So the question becomes, why haven't they? [She's never fully believed the Malnosso's promises. Any of them.]

[Oh hay, Alexei. Vivi may not actually remember you right now, but that won't stop her from answering your first question. BECAUSE SHE CAN.]

There was a big storm!

[godbent]

Why would getting people off the planet mean they can get people home?

[failazure]

Even if they had the technology, I doubt they would be willing to release us anytime soon.

[ voice ]

[deceases]

That would require things to be logical here for once.

[ there might be a hint of annoyance in the boy's voice, but it's mostly complete apathy, maybe even making him sound like he's bored. ]

[why is he talking to you this is awkward -

oh yeah he has nothing better to do.]

Space travel's easier than world travel, I guess.

[silversnowfall]

[OKAY THEN NEPHRY IS IN THE BAR.

Because life's been rough, or something. No, not really, it's because she enjoys the occasional glass of wine and wanted to get out of her house for a little while.

Besides, someone she wants to discuss things with is already here. Asking...a surprising question.]

It might be better to ask what hasn't happened.
