What've we started calling these days? Visitor weekends? I'd say this makes for the most pleasant one thus far, but I'm already speaking too soon for it. I never really understood how this all works - what's the difference allowing for people to come for a few days versus the few months the majority of us have been sitting on, waiting to go back to whatever version of home is left for us?

Is there some sort of good deed some of our lot get rewarded for? More paperwork, like in the desert? A queue of personal favours, maybe. What makes someone more deserving than others to come and go? I know I'm hardly going to get a straight answer from the men on the seat and pure speculation is relatively useless, but all the same.

Are any of you really satisfied with your lives in the City? Don't feel as though you need a beating heart sort of life to answer.

If not, what is it you long for?

If so- well, to put it bluntly, why?

Wouldn't call it satisfied. I'd rather be back home, for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it's where I think I belong. Although, well, the curses are rather exciting as is, don't you think? Do we really need more?

Maybe I could call it content. No, that word doesn't work well, either. I'm spending three months missing my brother to death then seeing him for two days, and though he does he damned best and succeeds at making me enjoy every second, I know I'll feel like shit come Monday. I've made friends here, but...family is still family.

So you'd rather be anywhere your family is?

[brobeforehos]

Anywhere Jamie is. Only family I have left. Though...I suppose, come to think of it, Nick and Alan can come close to one, too.

[effervescence]

Still asking questions?

[signatures]

Always. The world would be a boring place otherwise.

[suzerain]

What is it that any man longs for?

[signatures]

Depends on the man.

Aren't we the curious type?

[signatures]

Should I not be?

[storybook]

That's a lot of questions. What would you say if someone asked you the same kinds of things?

[signatures]

I'd say an answer, personally.

Flatterer.

Enabler.

Why do you want to know?

I like learning what makes people tic.

I prefer the City to my world.

[signatures]

Do you feel more accepted by the rules here?

I'll try and taper it off for you.

I see you've remained as charming as ever, Mister Eames.

[ Ah, there's the one he's more familiar with. ]

I've had a very small selection of people to roughhouse with, with your departure, Miss Natasha.

[had_not_lived]

I don't think it's all that uncommon for people to like it here.

[signatures]

Uncommon or not, I'm still curious about it.

[wishgranter]

In my observations, humans have never been fully satisfied with their own lives. They will always long for more than what they have.

[Some deep observations for something this cute. Look at that tail swish.]

[signatures]

[ omg lookit the ears ]

That's- very reasonable of an observation, actually. Some just call it greed, for short.
