[The sound of a glass clinking.]

One year. An entire year since I first visited this little 'community,' though sometimes it seems far longer than that. Enough things have certainly happened over that year.

[There is a pause, as if he's taking a sip.]

... but I'm curious. What compels you to keep visiting this place? Is it the people here? The potential for entertainment? Or simply morbid curiosity?

In other words, tell me why I should care.

You've been here that long now?

I have friends here! And I got a job on another world, and I've dated people on other worlds. And it's how I got my son, and where I found my brothers.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. One year to the day.

I've met people from other worlds as well... I suppose I can't say I regret all of that.

[maraich]

There's lots of good things here if you look for it.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

I've asked myself that everyday for almost three years.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Three years? I'd venture to call you a masochist.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

I met very important contacts here. It did prove useful to me and my company.

[timey_wimey]

I've somehow managed to find myself a family while on here. Well, sort of.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

You're the second person to tell me that, you know.

[timey_wimey]

Well, this place is good for creating families, and I don't just mean during viruses.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I have friends here.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Friends that you made here, or friends who also visit this community?

[emos-with-honor.livejournal.com]

To answer the first part of your question, my partner's curiosity and the fact he's making a human friend here.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

This does seem to be a popular way to make friends. Many of the people I've already spoken to have said that they visit this place to stay in contact with the friends they've made here.

[souris-keteer.livejournal.com]

Well,I've got friends here now,and I can keep an eye on any bad guys!

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Bad guys?

[oceanicbutterfly]

You already have some reason to care. You've been tracking how long you've been here, after all.

As for me, there are people I couldn't see otherwise.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Actually, I hadn't even noticed it was a year until I was looking back at previous entries. I haven't been tracking it on purpose.

Friends from other worlds, you mean?

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

I never used to have much of a reason for returning, but now... it's a way of keeping in contact with certain people.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Certain people like Kratos?

[xx-bloody-jack.livejournal.com]

Why did you continue to return?

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. Call it morbid curiosity, perhaps.

[twohundredpower.livejournal.com]

It's pretty interesting place to look around. Plus Colette and Dad and everyone else are here to, so... Well, it'd be kind of hard to just give it up.

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Have you made friends from other worlds as well?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Originally, I felt I had to stay here, to make sure nobody else from my world could turn it to their advantage.

Now, 300 years and worlds from "home"...

...it's all I have left.

... I'm sorry. It may seem hollow, but I mean it when I say I can understand what that is like.
