Technology's archaic.

[ Well, that's one way to introduce oneself. Insult the technology. Like an asshole. ]

Year you're from? [ Then, as an afterthought: ] Mine's 2547.

[ Guess what, buddy? Maine's got the Best News Ever: ]

Found soap.

[ BEST. NEWS. EVER. ]

2012. Wow we have a lot of future people here, damn.

[bloodbathing]

[ Funny thing is, Maine was thinking just the opposite: ]

Lot of 2000s.

[moderndayassassin]

Yeah, there's a whole group of people here from the same world/time.

[bloodbathing]

Common thing?

[ People showing up from the same world and time, he means. ]

[moderndayassassin]

I think so, yes. There are only a few people here I think who are solo, most people have at least one other.

[bloodbathing]

[ For the first time, Maine's grateful that Wash showed up here. Not because he wants his friend to be stuck, but because he actually likes Wash. The thought of being trapped with some of the other people from his universe is fucking awful. ]

Wonder why.

[moderndayassassin]

It's a good question. Also a lot of the people here are badasses. Fighters.

[bloodbathing]

[ That? That's ... actually concerning. Maine frowns, thinking of possible reasons for abducting a lot of fighters... ]

Soldiers?

[ He and Wash certainly are, and he knows of at least one other. ]

[moderndayassassin]

Yep. Soldiers. Mercenaries. Superheroes. Pretty questionable.

[bloodbathing]

Very.

[ It makes him wonder: ]

Could be assembling troops.

[moderndayassassin]

It's crossed my mind, but I'm not sure how they plan on making us play along.

[bloodbathing]

[ Maine is far from a master manipulator. If anything, it's a bit of a blind spot to him. But he thinks of his recruitment into Project Freelancer, and... ]

Offer something.

[moderndayassassin]

Maybe. Some people might refuse just because they've done all this to us though.

[bloodbathing]

Might. Might not.

[moderndayassassin]

It'd be pretty easy if what they offer is going back or staying here.

[bloodbathing]

Hard to resist.

[ That offer, he means. ]

[moderndayassassin]

Yep. I guess it depends on what they ask us to do. If it's commit genocide, probably not.

[bloodbathing]

Better not.

[ Excellent shot, Desmond! That's definitely a sore spot for Maine. ]

[moderndayassassin]

Pretty sure none of us would do that. Or no one I've met has the feeling of 'genocide's fine in exchange for what i want.'

[bloodbathing]

No religious zealots?

[ Since those are the type actively attempting genocide in Maine's universe. ]

[moderndayassassin]

Not that I've met here at all. They'd stand out, I think.

[bloodbathing]

Right. Lot of preaching.
