144 - HOLIDAY CHEER

Blizzard aside, I'd say that was well done on the Admiral's part. It's something of a relief to see on occasion that life outside the Barge simply... continues. [Why yes, that's a tiny hint of progress there, since West, at the beginning, would have NEVER FOUND THAT THOUGHT ACCEPTABLE OR BELIEVABLE. It only took two years to get that far :V] Many of our worlds may have ended, but a future still exists out there.

[He pauses, thinking. This is too hopeful; TIME TO RUIN IT.]

Still. Perhaps Infection-- or something like it-- was as imminent in that world as it was in mine. After all, the days before the outbreak were much the same as any other. Who here wonders about the worlds after we depart from them?

[OOC: Shitty shitty post, I'm sorry :c And I'm going to bed. Just wanted to get SOMETHING up. Uh, I'll probably be.. IDK. Nearly non-existent until Friday evening.]

Or no relevance at all. The future, Major, is not what's important. Not here, where there is no real future.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

The future is always important.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Only if you believe there is a future.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

What point is there to a life without a future? As soldiers, especially, we're tasked with preserving our people's future.

And yet, here we are. Criminals for doing just that.

The Admiral's judgement is often flawed. You need only to look around you to see that.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

And yet we seem to be the only ones who notice.

I'm sure the Wardens are quite aware. Whether or not they express it outside of their private filter is another matter entirely.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Oh, that filter. What a block.
