[Today finds Fabiola perched somewhere high, and taking a well-deserved day off from her usual activities. She raises the hand holding a thermos- coffee, because she considers herself too mature a girl for something like hot chocolate- to the camera, and then takes a sip of her coffee, preparing herself to speak. She's not as long-winded as usual today, though perhaps it's for the best, considering what she wants to ask.]

I know a lot of people have left lately, and I know some of those here are better at handling it than others. So in the interest of helping those that do not take it as well as others...

[She shifts idly, peering over her hands at the ground below and scooting backward just a little.]

How do you make yourselves feel better, Death City? What do you do in order to keep pushing forward?

I imagine I'd be able to handle that. People are always coming and going, no matter where you are.

[ Voice ]

[malandragem]

You are used to this where you are from?

[ Voice ]

[towered]

Well, it's nothing so startling as being transported to other worlds, but people always leave in some manner--be it to go off on an adventure or some such.

[ Voice ]

[malandragem]

Well, I suppose that is similar- though people gone on trips will usually come back, will they not?

[ Voice ]

[towered]

In most cases, yes, they would. But people don't always return once a journey has been undertaken.

[ Voice ]

[malandragem]

But there are still ways to keep in contact, are there not?

[ Voice ]

[towered]

Hm...I suppose.

[ Voice ]

[malandragem]

At least you are able to keep speaking to them, even if they are far away.

[ Voice ]

[towered]

...

[ She clears her throat, ready to change that subject. ]

R-right, well, if you don't mind my asking---what sort of things do you do, to make yourself feel better?

[ Voice ]

[malandragem]

Myself? I tend to clean, or practice with my weapon a lot. Something to focus on makes it easier for me.
