Wait, neighbors? Really?

Sounds like you had to find distraction where you could. 'A little fucked up but the way things have always been' could be a summary of my life, too.


Hey, can I ask you a question? How do you feel about this world? This universe, whatever we wanna call it.

[irwins]

Ish. George and I live in Nonah too.

Condolences, man.


Honestly? I love this place. George is here. As long as George is here, I have no desire to go back.

What about you?

[ If this were a public conversation on the network, Luther would have to tiptoe around this answer a bit more. He knew what an aching sore point this world was, and the mess they'd left behind. The problems they can't fix. Claire, missing. Claire.

But in private, he can be honest— ]

Me too. There's just so much to see and do here. So many opportunities. More than I had back home. And as long as my family's here, I've got all I need, too.

There's things we need to fix back home, but if we could do that and stay here, I'd like that.

[irwins]

Yeah. I mean. I grew up in a world dealing with the ongoing zombie apocalypse. The way people live here is... it's crazy how much freedom there is just to move around.

Same, man. But I guess our worlds wait on pause for us anyway, right? That's what everyone says. So at the very least, there's nothing wrong with being happy here while we're here.

[obediences]

People do say that, yeah. Have you spoken to anyone yet with first-hand experience of it, though?

I just wish I could have some better assurance than I heard she-said-he-said-she-said. Like an imPort myth.

[irwins]

Uh... just me I guess? I think it has to be true. Georgia is from my past. I sure as fuck never noticed her go missing at the time she was taken from, and she was here for months before I showed up. Whatever happens here doesn't interrupt the flow of time in our worlds.

[obediences]

Oh, true. I was thinking in terms of people being here, then going home, then coming back. But that bit about Georgia is encouraging. Good to know.

One of my brothers was here, but now he's been missing a while. A couple months now.
