apparently exitvoid might be a thing

[queenoftherock]

Mun, look, being stranded, while thrilling as it might be, isn't really something I'm particularly looking forward to these days. Don't even tell me that an island isn't the same thing as that place because, believe me, I know stranded when I see it.

And I have no idea how you plan on dragging other people with me to that place, but if you pull it off... I might even be impressed.

Once should be enough for a lifetime or two.

[There is no tactful way to say "try not to go crazy on an island again, Oliver," is there?]

[queenoftherock]

[There is absolutely no way to put that tactfully, nope.]

Unfortunately, these muns don't see eye to eye on these things.

[ex_notthatblonde608]

Apparently not.

You're not, you know, going to be alone. Right?

[queenoftherock]

There are lot of people there right now, Felicity. But it's no one I know.

[ex_notthatblonde608]

They're all in the same metaphorical boat you are; maybe you'll find people you can relate to.

Or at least not actively distrust.

[queenoftherock]

Maybe. No one's in a right state of mind, last I heard.

[ex_notthatblonde608]

You're being sent to an island full of crazy people? And I thought I had it bad.

[queenoftherock]

It's what it is. I don't think I can fight my way out of it this time around.

[ex_notthatblonde608]

You can at least fight to keep yourself safe, right?

Not that I'd want you to have to fight constantly. Or anything.

It's not an island. It's a wanna-be Atlantis made by a bunch of mad scientists in the 50s now inhabited by their crackhead mad scientists test subjects. Or whatever.

Right now, at least.

[queenoftherock]

Wow, I wonder just why I could possibly oppose this decision.

[adoptalizard]

Choice isn't going to be a really popular theme for you for a while. Might as well get used to it.

[queenoftherock]

You really sound like the kid that looks just like you from back home.

[dreamlinks]

Well, in all fairness, it's not always an island. Most of the time, it's a ship. I'm told it's quite open to change, I don't think you'd be bored.

[ A pause. ] The stranded part still applies, sadly.

[queenoftherock]

I think bored is the least of my concerns right now.

[dreamlinks]

A fair point. There’s none of us who want to be there, I can assure you of that.
