[It's been over a month now since he first arrived. Luceti isn't any homelier now than it was then. Only now he's getting restless from being stuck here so long. Pretending to ride a bike cross country in the Dome ain't exactly satisfying when it keeps stopping in one hour intervals. So maybe it's time to look beyond the enclosure. Here he goes with the journal.]

I keep hearing about these missions people are going on. I've read the advertising too. Besides being a cure for boredom, do people have a good reason for doing their dirty work? Because frankly, I'm getting a little bored myself. But playing toadie to cash in for prizes ain't exactly the way I do things.

[Good enough. He'll stick around to answer that for awhile, then head to the Rec Center. He doesn't like it when its crowded with teenagers, but when he's lucky, he can play a game of pool by himself. After some time there, he'll be running a Danger Room scenario for himself in the Battle Dome. Lots of explosions and slashing. It's really cool, okay. After some time back home checking out some of Kurt's old movies and TV shows (at least the kid had some taste), he'll make his evening at Good Spirits. He'll take them by the bottle, bartenders. He don't even need you to remove the lids for him. That's what adamantium claws are for. Just another day in the life of the Wolverine.]

Some choice that is.

[Then again, his world is one day from being post-apocalyptic (or rather, post-Apocalypse himself). There's a strong chance that this place could be a hell of a lot better than the world waiting.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

Haha, yeah- what's that saying? "Caught between a rock and a hard place"? Kind of like that, I think. Except that the rock sometimes rolls over and turns into a pillow. And then the pillow gets all passive-aggressive and tries to smother you. And- ...I'm really not sure where I'm going with this, but the point is that it kind of sucks once in a while.

[action]

[snikting]

Not much of a metaphor there. But I'd picked up on the 'sucks' part of the place already.

[action]

[wingenvy]

Honestly? I don't mind it all that much here. It's not as bad as it could be.

[action]

[snikting]

Yeah? That mean home not too good for you?

[action]

[wingenvy]

Not so much. Not until it's possible to get sent home with the memories we gain here, anyway.

[action]

[snikting]

[That gets a stare. The sort that seems to be expecting the rest of the story.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

[Let's play the game of "be as vague as humanly possible", eh? Fun times.]

Well, if you found out you had a less-than-stellar future to look forward to, you'd want to change it if possible, right? At least, most people would. That's basically it in a nutshell.

[action]

[snikting]

I take it that means you've met people from your future.

[The concept is not unfamiliar to him.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, three so far. Well- okay, two of them were the same guy, but from different points in time. Luceti's weird like that.

[action]

[snikting]

I've noticed. It makes even the conversations confusing,.

[action]

[wingenvy]

Kinda feels like as soon as you meet someone your first questions should be "what world and what time period?" Then again that's not even taking into account the alternate realities...

[Confusing pretty much sums it up.]

[action]

[snikting]

Run into those too, have you? [He experienced one himself. Blew his damn mind.]

[action]

[wingenvy]

Not personally- I've just heard about it happening.

[action]

[snikting]

Ran into some myself, already. It's a pain, more than anything.

[action]

[wingenvy]

I can only imagine. As if this place isn't confusing enough already!

[action]

[snikting]

It's like we've got our own little club now.

[action]

[wingenvy]

I think I'll be happy if I can get out of this place without ever joining.

[action]

[snikting]

I'll be happy to just get out. So far, I'm one of the unlucky ones that don't just vanish in a week.
