I don't know if I would go that far. It's much easier for things to get worse than to get better.

@Webmaster

That's no good, either.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

So they're just doing the usual bandit things? *Is looking mildly interested as I ask this.*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Understandable. I honestly find these ruined cities fascinating.

And I can probably answer that a bit better since I've been around and seen a few places, but only if you want me to.

@Stabby

Please, do.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What do you mean?

@Webmaster

From what you tell me, nothing changes. Not for the better, not for the worse.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Shakes my head*
We don't really see anyone else, mostly. There are some small scuffles with other factions, but there aren't many.

@Webmaster

I'm going to find out. The whole world stagnant... that's just not right.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I don't know. I just know this is how I've always lived.

@Webmaster

Do you know if the whole world is like this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Nods*
It has.

@Webmaster

And things have just been... the same since then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Shrugs*
I've been told that ever since things stabilized a bit since the accident, we found a way of life that worked and stuck with it. Other camps weren't so lucky.
*Looks down*
But at least they leave food behind when they're gone.

@Webmaster

Thania said that this city has been dead for over two hundred years.

*Shrugs*
I don't know how much better it can get. What about your group? Do you often do new things?

@Webmaster

Always. But—your way of life is—how long have you done things the same way?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Than what?

@Webmaster

Than the way you live now, whatever it is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Shrugs*
I don't know. I don't really think about what life would be like if we didn't have to do it this way.

@Webmaster

Do you ever make progress? Something new and better?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*looks a bit uncomfertable.* I.. I'd rather not say much about how considering that it's part of the reason I got kicked from my group. That aside though, it helps that I love exploring places like these for scraps of knowledge, as I tend to find most of my necessities along the way. *I've gone back to my usual self by the end of my second sentence.*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Oh really? Then you'll have to show me later, when we aren't in the middle of a ruined and possibly fragile city.

@Stabby

I'll be sure to. I want to explore this place a bit more, though.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Gasps*
How? I thought that the stories about people surviving on their own were just stories.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Nods*
There's no choice.

@Webmaster

Do you think, one day, there will be?
