I didn't even notice the website had changed until you all started talking about it. It looks the same to me. Of course, it's possible that that's just because I don't care what the place looks like, as long as I can still worldhop. It does make me wonder if this is the reason we haven't had a virus in a while, though. If that's the case, then I'm glad for the change.

Outside of my training, I've been spending most of my time in New Jersey, because I'm fairly certain that Lisa is the only thing in my life that actually makes sense. I've been thinking about how I'm glad that she isn't on the community anymore, which had made me consider the various things that can happen to people once they leave this place. Perhaps someone should start researching that, too see if any patterns can be found.

Who do you know that has left, and what happened to them?

Do you rely on worldhops?

[redheadcarrier]

No.

_{[Occasionally.]}

Maybe once or twice.

[embersandashes]

Well, there you have it then.

[redheadcarrier]

Have what?

[embersandashes]

Ways in which you've relied on the community.

[redheadcarrier]

That doesn't mean anything.

[embersandashes]

Hm.

How old are you again? I seem to remember that we were close to the same age.

[redheadcarrier]

I just turned eighteen about a month ago.

[embersandashes]

Ah; so I was right.

[redheadcarrier]

How old are you?

[embersandashes]

Eighteen as of last September.

[redheadcarrier]

So you're a few months older than me.

_[Weird.]

[embersandashes]

So it seems, yes.

[redheadcarrier]

I've spent most of my teenage life on here.

It's so weird.

[embersandashes]

I've gotten used to it. My life would be very, very different if it weren't for the community.
