first scream ♚ voice ♚ open to both seelie and unseelie.

[amplified]

I've heard that this magic device is the best way to address both the Seelie and Unseelie courts and their members. In the midst of all of this chaos surrounding these disgusting worm beings, I find myself wondering why it is that no one has tried to take a general census of the population. We're clearly, most of us, new arrivals. For whatever reason that may be, it stands to reason that we should at least talk to each other. Especially since it's likely that we all have at least one or two other people we know from our own homes. So, first things first. How many of you have come across someone you knew before you arrived here? Are they friends, or are they enemies? How are you handling things? ( Lydia has determined that she needs to take a survey, more or less, and find out as much as she can. See if she can discern any patterns in the population. See if she can find a rhyme or reason to what's going on... To why this place, why these people, why this timing. )

Secondly. If there's anyone else here from Beacon Hills... Speak up. Clearly there's something going on here that involves at least a few of us. I'm wondering how many more of us there are.

[He doesn't know this girl from Adam and he certainly won't trust her with knowledge of Skynet. That's too dangerous for any human here to know. He's going to go deliberately vague with his answer.]

I could be used to create something that would end the world.

[amplified]

( Lydia doesn't really like the sound of that, honestly. It kind of bothers her a lot... But she's not going to go into huge amounts of digging and nagging to find out more. She's not sure she wants to know. )

... Oh. Well. Um -- that's... That's unfortunate. Why not just... Avoid the situation entirely?

[unclebob]

I did. I came here.

[At least it was better than his original plan of allowing himself to be melted down.]

[amplified]

That's it? That's your final solution? What if they send you back?

[unclebob]

[He answers without batting so much as an eye.]

Then I will terminate myself.

[amplified]

You would end your own life? Truly?

[unclebob]

I would. It's not a hard decision, when I know it would protect someone I care about.

[amplified]

That takes a certain kind of courage not many people have.

[unclebob]

Is it really courage if one cannot feel fear?

[The musings of a philosophical robot.]

[amplified]

Yes. The absence of fear isn't necessarily the presence of courage. You're willing to make a sacrifice for people you care about. That's courageous. Not just fearless.

[unclebob]

[He's never heard emotions broken down into such simple terms before. Even he can follow the line of thinking.]

Have you seen it in others, this brand of courage?

I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS THREAD ALL OVER AGain...

[amplified]

I have. ( Scott. Stiles. Allison... Countless times. And sometimes, even herself. ) My friends.

:)

[unclebob]

Then you are fortunate.

[He's seen such a trait in precious few humans.]

Are any of them here? Your friends?

he's just so *~*~*

[amplified]

I really am. ( She's very grateful for them. All of them. )

Yes, actually. A handful.

[unclebob]

You are doubly fortunate.

[Well, not all to be stuck here, but Terminator trusts he's gotten his meaning across.]

[amplified]

Are you alone, then? ( :c so sad today )

[unclebob]

Yes.

[There's a loneliness in his voice even his usual monotone can't hide. No one told him learning to love meant having to put up with the negative emotions too.]

[amplified]

Well, I mean -- if you really want, you can borrow my friends. Or there's always the idea of making new ones here. We're all stuck in the same spot, aren't we?
