[ Ange never really feels the need to broadcast anything over the journals, as anti-social as she is and all. But today she's perhaps feeling a bit more bored or a bit more annoyed than usual, probably because of some recent arrivals. So she has actually taken the effort to speak up for once now, her voice as flat and deadpan as it always is. ]

So, people here.. how much longer are you planning on wasting your time here? Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have found any way out either, but I doubt spending our time here with parties and all sorts of similar ridiculous things is going to help us in any way. Don't tell me all of you have grown so used to this place that you're just complacent with the situation as it is now.

[ Sorry, Luceti, she's a bit of a party pooper indeed. What is having fun. ]

I definitely have no plans of sticking around here if I'd be given the choice. I have better things to do than wasting my time around here.. unlike some other people, apparently. [ a very slight sigh. ]

So I guess in the end it comes down to this.. do any of you honestly want to stick around in this bothersome place and party your days away? I suppose I'm actually a little genuinely curious.

[ It looks like she's going to cut it off right there and then, but she seems to think of something as she starts a filter instead. ]

On a different note.. if anyone has advice for avoiding certain people, I'd like to hear it.

[ A bitter edge creeps into her tone as she speaks on. ] This place has a rather crude sense of humor as to who gets to arrive or leave here.

Well my dear... [[Friendly, isn't she?]]

Have you considered that some people have far less to return home to? A few people here might have families now when they had nothing back home.

I have nothing at all to return to when I go home.

[ She just states it like that - bluntly, almost a little on the cold side. ]

And yet you don't see me wanting to stay in this place, right?

Going home would return me to death. [[Not quite as blunt, perhaps somber?]]

But here, I have a family. I have far more to lose returning home, than I would gain. There are also those that I would leave behind here. Both from my home, and not.

If you have nothing to return to, then what keeps you from finding something here? Aside the fact that this isn't your true home?

I simply don't need something like that.

Is that that much of a difficult concept to grasp? Apparently it is, considering the amount of people who ask me that.

I suppose it isn't, no. But your question and demeanor seem to have grasped the attention of those whom have something to lose by returning.

I'm certain you've heard then? That returning home is simply a matter of chance and not one brought about by effort?

I do know that the people who disappear here left by chance - although it's possible they found an exit, but were unable to tell us about it before they left.

Either way, it should be possible to reach some sort of exit through effort too.

I'm certain there is. We, as well as the natives, had to come about here somehow. As well as the barrier...

I've seen it expand over time, but, only in relation to the number of people here.

You're not the first to want to not stand about and wait for an opening, but I've yet to see anyone able to organize the entire settlement into making the effort. A few uprisings here and there, but, none successful that I've heard of.

It's exactly because people have become complacent like this that there has been no big uprising just yet. An escape attempt from this place wouldn't work unless almost everyone united together to make an effort, but such a thing is impossible with people having this kind of attitude.

I think it might be interesting to see someone honestly try to unite everyone under the banner of escaping.

I've been here for nearly four years. You get... comfortable after so long.

You would need a specific type of leader for that, I guess.. And that's not me, I'm willing to admit that much at the very least.

And I already know I will never get comfortable here. No matter how long it takes.

[[She chuckles a little.]]

Is that a challenge?

... Depends. Why are you asking?

I see no reason why you would never get comfortable. After all, you never said for how long~

[[Valvalis: master of "Uncomfortable". Or flirting... I'm still uncertain which.]]

It doesn't matter for how long. I will definitely never get comfortable or content with the situation in this place.

The situation. I do suppose that's a completely different context~

Fine, I'm okay with widening it to in general too.. As long as I'm in this place, I won't be comfortable or content. Happy now?

Not at all actually. I won't force... I can't force you to ever be content here, but you're saying that you'll never have a sliver of happiness, no matter what happens.

That sounds absolutely terrible...

... My chance at happiness was already taken from me forcefully a long time ago. It might sound terrible, but.. it's just what I have to deal with.

It's just a matter of coming to terms with the fact there's nothing left for you.

Do you truly believe that you only ever had one chance?

And there are many kinds of happiness, even if you have to find it in the misery of others.

[[She chuckles a bit.]] Look at me preaching to you. Sometimes I forget what I was created for...

Yeah, preaching to me is no use. I won't change my mind on this point.

And if there's something like finding happiness in the misery of others.. then I'd rather just not be happy at all, to be honest. That's just despicable.

That was just an example, dear. There are those who honestly get off on that.

But... you're new here so... I suppose it is too soon to try and convince you otherwise. But don't suspect that I won't try!

Oh, I know that there are people who get off on it. I happen to know one of them here quite personally, unfortunately. And plenty of others back home. But that doesn't mean I'm the same way as well.

And sure, go ahead, do whatever you feel like. It's not like I can stop you.

I don't know you at all, so there's no way I could really assume you would do that.

Oh, you could try to stop me, but that would be rather difficult~

That's exactly why I don't feel like bothering to stop you. It's more effort than it's worth, to be honest.

Then perhaps it'll just be that much easier to chance your mind, since you're not bothering to resist.

And I don't believe we've exchanged pleasantries either~
