2nd Venture [Audio]

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Where I'm from there're lot of boys who've left a bit of their brain on the battlefield. Good respectable men. Men who now lose their senses from time to time...believe they're whizzbangs...Smash things...Scare people. 

Frightening thing when the brain goes. 

[There's the soft sound of a striking match as he lights a candle in his room]

What i'm getting at is...what exactly will this place do to the brain if we're 'ere too long?

Could've just asked to speak to whoever's been here longest.

Which war was yours?

Re: text | private

[amanwhodrinkstea]

I could have. But its not as if I am in a rush.

They're calling it the Great War these days.

I'm not sure, but it probably won't be good, no matter how you look at it.

Re: [voice]

[amanwhodrinkstea]

How long you been 'ere?

[voice]

[allpurposescarf]

Since last winter.

As far as permanent stuff? Not really sure. But there have been times when this place has caused some temporary mental anguish.

Re: audio;

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Sounds like you've been 'round.

What was the worst?

[writeswrongs]

[Well, this is going to be a fun conversation.]

I was here for about a year, got sent home and came back in January, so yeah. Several times things have manifested themselves as our worst nightmares. A bunch of people turned into zombies once.

There are a lot of people who have rather fragile minds, it can be interesting to see who easily they crumble.

Re: audio

[amanwhodrinkstea]

If that is your definition of interesting.

Oh so it's not what you were interested in finding out? Or were you asking out of concern for yourself, afraid that you might become disillusioned?

[herrin]

That does depend. Do you mean emotionally, or actual detrimental physical changes?

Re: video.

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Whichever.

[He rolls his head to the said]

Whichever comes first.

[herrin]

I haven't noted detrimental physical changes in others. Emotionally..

( she allows her voice to trail off. )

I think you can imagine that for yourself.

You adjust. You accept. Eventually coming to know new Travellers becomes tiring.

Unless you are referring to the physical. In that case, everyone grows older all the same.

Re: anon text;

[amanwhodrinkstea]

So are you fully adjusted then?

anon text;

[bloodypocket]

That would depend entirely on what your standards for that are. I could say I have adjusted, and another could look at me and say I am lying.

[fire_punk]

What about what being home would do to us?

Re: video

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Would it be worse?

[fire_punk]

Maybe. For some of us.

[comeonthensexy]

I'd say that depends entirely on who you're speaking to.

There are many here who have it better.

Re: [Video]

[amanwhodrinkstea]

I can see that.

[Some people might argue that in Tommy's case but he'd hesitate to agree.]

Are you one of those people?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

I'm one of those who technically don't have anything to go back to, I suppose.

[itistolaugh]

Mmmm, hard to say! Mine was busted up before I even got here, and I'd say everyone I know was already a little goofy one way or another before here. You worried?

Re: audio.

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Busted up?
