032 prophecies

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe's voice is soft, distant as she speaks. It's almost as if she's speaking through the haze of a dream]

Visitors from distant land
welcomed with open hand
Dormant cabins live again
God's doors open for mortal kin
Fire extinguished. Harpies cry
Tread softly as the ravens fly

[Her eyes open and she takes a slow breath, lifting her gaze to the roof of the cavern. She smiles slightly, quietly awaiting the responses to the newest prophecy.]

No, I'm sure I'm not. There are certain aspects of my own home I'm glad to be away from.

Listen. I know this place isn't all it's cracked up to be, sometimes. But if you look deep enough you'll see that there is good, here. I've had to grab hold of that fact to keep myself from becoming completely jaded with everything it's thrown at me.

I'm pretty sure I'm about as jaded as I'll ever be, but thanks for the tip.

[kungfuwitch]

I'm sorry. I hope that somehow you can find enough good here to alleviate some of that.

[whichwayyoulean]

There are good people here, I guess.

That's something.

[kungfuwitch]

That makes all the difference for me. I've made some amazing friends since I've been here and that's helped more than anything else.

[whichwayyoulean]

Assuming they even last.

[kungfuwitch]

If I thought about that I wouldn't have any friends at all. I know that nothing is guaranteed, here. Any of us could be sent home at a moment's notice. But that's no reason not to make connections with the people here.

[whichwayyoulean]

Even if it means you end up getting hurt in the process?

[kungfuwitch]

Some things are worth the risk.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Not all things, though.

[kungfuwitch]

[She's sensing that there's more to this than hypotheticals. However she's not going to push... yet]

No, I suppose not.
