Sheesh, this stupid cold or whatever is goin' around must've hit me hard. I, ah... I just noticed that I've been here for a year now. Somehow it feels like it hasn't been that--_{[Achoo!] Ewwwww, I hate colds...} It feels like it's only been a few months since I first showed up here. In another month I'll have worked at Purgatory for a year, too. S'kinda scary how fast time flies.

_{[A beat.]}

I'm not sure I even wanna go home. Darkness aside, I'm pretty happy here. That's not weird, is it?

Don't you ever miss home though?

(voice)

[ninthserenade]

Only sometimes, but I prefer living in a place that's got actual color.

(voice)

[prankmaster]

Your home had none?

(voice)

[ninthserenade]

Not unless white, shades of grey, black and what little color we brought into the castle counts. All the walls were this really, really lame grey-white dealio.

(voice)

[prankmaster]

You have a castle, and that's the color scheme you go with? Wow.

(voice)

[ninthserenade]

I wasn't in charge of it, man. I came along after that.

(voice)

[prankmaster]

Couldn't you have made improvements?

Re: (voice)

[ninthserenade]

I 'unno. I'm only the ninth guy in the group outta thirteen so I never really asked. I just decked my room out.

(voice)

[prankmaster]

That is something, at least. Better than nothing, right?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

No, it is not weird.

[ninthserenade]

Phew, that's a relief... It's not too bad of a place, yanno?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Honestly, I find this world to be far more relaxing than London ever was.

[ninthserenade]

London? That's the place that's got uhh... Big Ben, right?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Yes. I take it you must be from a similar world, if not the same.

[voice]

[faustianism]

If you would be so kind, could you tell me what Purgatory is?

Re: [voice]

[ninthserenade]

It's a club where I play music at. S'pretty snazzy on the inside and my friend is one of the owners of the joint. If you haven't been there before feel free to swing by whenever you want!

[voice]

[faustianism]

A club with dancing, or a club with soft music and drinks? I am partial to one of them.

[voice]

[ninthserenade]

Uhh... Both, actually. We've got a dance floor and a bar in it.

[voice]

[faustianism]

Do you play loud music? You'll have to forgive me, I am rather new, here.

[voice]

[ninthserenade]

Sometimes, yeah. I play sitar most of the time but I'll mix things up with a bit of rock 'n roll.

[voice]

[faustianism]

I'll have to come in and see you play. You sound confident in your abilities.

[antedupmyheart]

I'd certainly not consider it strange to want to stay.

[ninthserenade]

Phew, I thought I was gonna be the weird one out for a second there.

[antedupmyheart]

I'd not have imagined you to be the only one with few ties to home.

[voice]

[learnyourplace]

I do not think it strange.

Re: [voice]

[ninthserenade]

Really? That's good. ...D'ya think anyone else feels the same way? 'bout not wanting to go home?

[voice]

[learnyourplace]

I'm sure that there are others. I would be surprised if there weren't.
