17 ✿ i believe this was a mistake.

So, correct me if I am wrong, but the thing that has been bringing those that die back, is gone? That is not good. I am sure we all know that, though.

But, I do not think yelling at each other is going to help. We need to stay together now, more than ever! I know that some of you are mad at whoever did this, but we all make mistakes. [[a deep breath.]] We can not change what has happened in the past, we can only go forward!

If we help instead of fight, I think it will all turn out alright. No amount of arguing will fix this, so we should pull together and work together!

Yeah, screamin' ain't ever gotten folk out of a fahng-tzong fung-kwong duh jeh like this. You survive by havin' good people around you.

I do not understand what you just said! [[that long, weird sounding term, she means.]]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Oh, sorry, keep forgettin' not everyone speaks Mandarin here. I'll get used to it eventually. Knot of self indulgent lunacy, basically.

[crosseyed]

It is alright! It was a very pretty phrase, even if I did not understand.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Kinda seems like what's happenin', right now.

[crosseyed]

Yes, it was a good way to describe it!

I am just worried that people will continue to fight, and cause even more problems.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Yeah, we ain't gonna get anywhere by screamin' at each other. Trouble's when y'need your crew the most.

[crosseyed]

Yes, you know exactly what I mean! You are very smart.

What is your name, miss? I am Nia!

[wrench_and_ruffles]

I'm Kaylee. Wouldn't say I'm smart, but I know a thing or two 'bout people.

[crosseyed]

But you sound very smart, the way you speak! And you know things! [[she seems to forget that lots of people know things, but that doesn't make them all smart.]]

It is very nice to meet you, Miss Kaylee!

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Everyone talks like that, back home. Mostly I just know 'bout people and machines. Not like my friend River, she's a genius.
