[ As Arthur read the letter, his usually stoic and flat expression turned to one of barely kindled rage. ] This is what the manager was referring to, wasn't it. [ Arthur clutched the now crumpled letter in his hands, sick at just the thought of such a place. ]
Quincey would have detested this, as would Seward... I'm going there, even if the manager tells me not to. I'm going to show them how "alike" we really can be. ๐ข
"Alike"...? Yeah... They're nothing alike, not in any way, shape, or form. Even thinking of such a place existing draws me to hurl, knowing what those monsters take from us.
Everyone has been quite generous recently, I appreciate the sweets. It's funny, really... I haven't enjoyed anything like these in years. I wonder how many of us on this bus have had to taste what scrap meat tastes like.
[ Arthur shuddered at the thought of it. ]
@LCBAlexDeLarge Then I'm glad we can agree on such things, DeLarge. A similar thing befell me, those canned experiences were used to almost drug me into a state of complacency.
I've seen many things across the years, but... I had hoped that I wouldn't have had to cross paths with the Inquisition ever again. Let it be known that I detest and abhor every bit of the Inquisition's ideals, and while we may be accompanying one another now... (1/2)
Favorite food...? I haven't thought of my favorite food in so long, I guess time really does whittle away most things. Hmm... I'd say I'm partial to Lamb, though I'd be lying if I told you I've eaten it in the past decade.

... I won't be tolerating anything regarding praise of the dismal 'Franz Kromer' and her putrid 'humanitarian' genocide crusade. I hope you have the eyes to have moved past it as I have, DeLarge.
@Mina_Heart23 So you're a naturalist...? Quite hard to come by in The City, though I knew a few people who had a love for medicinal herbs. Quite the rare hobby, though...
Ah, a kind gesture, isn't it? I suppose we can sit for a while, though I'm not very partial to drinking. I haven't sat down to read in a good long while, and I feel like being able to do so with someone on friendly terms again would be quite enjoyable.
@Mina_Heart23 Letters. It's letters to an old friend, I haven't been able to write to her in a long, long time. I used to be quite the writer when I was younger, but time wasn't kind to me.
@Mina_Heart23 I suppose it must be in a Mina's nature to be kind, today has been very much stressful... Haah.
[ Arthur sighed as he looked up at the tree above them, before looking back down to his journal. ]
Do you have a book on you? What do you plan on reading?
@Mina_Heart23 [ Arthur seems hesitant to take her hand, so he decides to sit down beside her, sighing as he reaches for his journal, which he's finally begun to write in once more. ]
I'll sit for a while, you're Mina as well, correct? I have a close friend with the same name.
