i wonder if you went in if there'd be a bike for you you should check sometime
this is going to sound crazy, but i actually love it here nat and i have argued about it before because she wants to leave so bad i think natalie is just the kind of person who would never be okay with being trapped somewhere, even if it's a fancy prison like you said
i’ll have to check it out sometime. been a while since i rode like that. i got to have a motorcycle even back where i was, but i doubt i’d be so lucky here.
can’t say i don’t blame her. but i can also get why you wouldn’t want to leave a place like this.
[ she’s known and loved at least two people who were gone, back where they were from. she’s engaged to one of them. ]
the people around you can do a lot to make a place feel less like a prison.
whoa, really? that's so cool! i've never ridden one of those i'm not the best driver though, haha i got my license back home before everything happened, but i didn't have a car, i just borrowed from my parents sometimes
our situation back home sucks. this is way better in my opinion
that's actually why i texted you. i'm trying to figure out a way to take someone with me if i do have to leave here i guess it was kinda dumb of me, because like, how would you know how to do that? i just thought since you've bounced around before maybe you had an idea or something
i wish i had an answer for you, but i don't. we'd been trying to find a way to leave, but not come somewhere new like this. i can't speak for anyone else in my situation, so maybe they'd know better, but we hadn't gotten as far in the process as making an attempt to leave yet.
it's not a secret or anything i'm on this soccer team? our plane crashed on the way to a competition and we've been stuck in the canadian wilderness for over a year now
okay :( i figured, but thanks anyway if you do ever find anything out can you let me know?
[ she’s read about the girls on the team, knows from the context on the network that melissa’s one of them. but she didn’t want to be the one to bring it up. it feels cruel to bring up how much you know about someone when you’re talking to someone for the first time. ]
god. i’m so sorry. [ no wonder she wants to stay. ]
i’m sorry this isn’t more help, too. if i find anything out or remember anything i’ll let you know. or if you think of anything else you want to ask, i’ll do what i can to answer.
oh, it's this movie from the 80s about this guy who's a cop and they turn him into a cyborg so he can be, like, a super crime fighter? i guess it's not really the same sorry
yeah. i mean, a little bit. this one girl from my team has come and gone twice now and she didn't remember us being gone either time? and this one girl, misty, she's here now but she's way older than the rest of us so the timeline is definitely fucked in multiple ways
that's kinda a good thing though because maybe it means i can change stuff
ah, okay, gotcha. honestly i haven’t seen a lot of movies. that’s not exactly what they did with me, but it’s not dissimilar to other things they’ve done.
[ but remembering zack makes her feel ill, so she takes the change of topic: ]
yeah, that can happen if you’re in a place like this for a while. i’m sorry.
i saw her on the network, yeah. i have a friend here who’s from a little while behind me in spite of him having been with me in the other place before. shit gets weird in places like this.
[ she doesn’t want to ask what she wants to change. ]
his memories are a few weeks behind mine. i think i got to where we were before about a month ahead of him? but he’s been sent back and so far he hasn’t caught up to where i am, and i was stuck where i was. i hadn’t seen him again until i found out he was here, too.
where i’m from they kind of stopped making movies after the us went broke. but i’ve seen a few. got any you’d recommend? my fiancé hasn’t really seen a lot of them, either.
that actually happened to me when i got here too, with the memories the others remembered like a month-ish more than i did, but after i was here for a couple months i went into a coma for like week and when i woke up i remembered the rest so maybe he'll catch up soon
they stopped? omg that's terrible it depends on what you like. action, romance, comedy?
oh damn, weird. and maybe. it’s been a few years and that hasn’t happened for him yet, though.
[ it hasn’t happened for her at all, which is another thing she doesn’t want to think about the implications of. ]
yeah. terrorists set off an emp that fried the electronics most of the country. that was a little over ten years ago and they’re still building things back up. my best friend was really into romance and comedy. she had a couple of action ones she liked, too. i guess a little of everything? my favorite one i’ve seen is the wizard of oz.

maybe this is a human zoo or something, but i'd rather be getting fed and sleeping in a nice bed here than starving out there in the snow
[ and that doesn't even touch on the gay girl from 1997 thing, perhaps the biggest way she and natalie differ ]
it's not your fault
i messaged a couple other people from your post, but nothing yet
thanks :)
no subject
i was caught under the ice of a lake once. i can’t imagine being somewhere like canada without shelter for over a year.
yeah, of course. like i said, if you think of anything else you want to ask me, let me know.
regarding this or anything else.

we had a cabin for the first winter, but it burned down
we built huts after that

i'm genetically engineered to withstand a lot of punishment and harsh elements. they wanted to make perfect soldiers.
holy SHIT, melissa.
i'm sorry.
no subject
like robocop?
thanks
it's pretty crazy
there's 5 of us here but about 12 of us in total
no subject
damn.
i'm glad you have people here. but it must be hard not knowing what's happening at home.
[ although she's seen misty on the network, so she knows they end up getting rescued. ]

oh, i love movies
i'm trying to catch up on everything that came out between 1996 and 2006
really? did you guys end up here at the same time but his memories were different, or he showed up later?
no subject
his memories are a few weeks behind mine. i think i got to where we were before about a month ahead of him? but he’s been sent back and so far he hasn’t caught up to where i am, and i was stuck where i was. i hadn’t seen him again until i found out he was here, too.

my best friend was really into romance and comedy. she had a couple of action ones she liked, too.

no subject
dude, that's insane :( scary
okay, if you liked wizard of oz you'll love the princess bride. watch that one next!
[ any excuse to spread the good word ]
no subject
it was a real crash course in putting training to the test, yeah. also made it easy to disappear from the people i escaped from.
the princess bride actually is one i’ve seen. you’ve got good taste :)
no subject
you had to escape?? holy shit
haha... it's my favorite so i recommend it to everyone
ooh, what about the neverending story? that one's good too
no subject
i think they'd have preferred i didn't, but yeah. twice.
that one i haven't seen so i'll add it to the list. do you have any fun action ones you'd recommend?
no subject
that's crazy. were you the only one?
totally. point break and the quick and the dead are both good ones [ sorry, none of these recommendations are going to be from movies newer than '95 ]
