The population seems to have suddenly increased recently, and I do not mean of the locals. [There's a hint of curiosity as well as slight concern in his voice when that's said. It looks to him that these Gods are getting more outside help and he almost has to wonder if it's really justifiable to bring in more people for their assumed cause. He understands the whole "strength in numbers" approach but when more than half of them don't understand what it is they need to do, it's just a little frustrating.]

Though it's rather pointless, I apologize for those of you that are new and expecting explanations on how to return home from those of us that have been here longer. The only real key to that seems to be our task of returning color and life to this world. The first wave of newcomers may only offer so many answers, though at least this might make it a little easier for a larger group approach at understanding our situation better.

But, I have a question, for anyone that is willing to answer it. It's hardly mandatory. We've all basically been assigned as "heroes" of this land, to assist the Gods and locals in a troubled and difficult time. If you were actually given the choice to say yes or no to their plea, what would be your response? [Just before he's about to end his question there, he decides to tack on a little something extra.] --not just in this case. Would you ever choose to be some kind of hero?

My judgement matters little to the choice at hand.

[A pause.] And what will you choose? Will you accept being a "hero", or go on about in your life?

[If he was a less polite person, he'd find that to be kind of sad. But if that's the way he conducts his life then he has little say on critiquing it. As for the last part...]

Actually, my decision was made before I ever arrived here. I'll be doing my continued efforts as a hero to the best of my ability.

[Consider Kirei, at the very least, curious, if not interested.]

Was it a path you choose yourself, or another that someone set for you?

[Unfortunately for Barnaby, these questions are leading toward personal territory that he's not exactly comfortable discussing. At least not with a total stranger. However he needs to give some sort of answer. There's a short moment of silence as he thinks on what to say.]

Somewhat of a combination of the two.

But I suppose ultimately it was my own choice.

[The answer was what Kirei expected - little to no details, but considering the question, the man is speaking the truth.]

Thank you.
