So, while we're having a bit of a quiet time, sort of, question to ponder and/or discuss:

Why do you think we've been brought here?

Inquiring minds want to know your opinion.

What, *no* history? No myths, or songs, or fables, or kids' books? Do the students from the non-fictionals-only Academy come to the same library to study? Because that would be... really, really weird. And there's nothing wrong with being transparent. I think we all need more people whom we know we can trust.

And, yeah. I can imagine. Do... did you have anyone to talk with, about that?

They have some printed transcripts from the start of the Network - I suppose to preserve them if the Network should wipe itself at some point - but there's nothing older than that. There aren't any fictional stories there either, not even for the kids. Well, I mean, some for bedtimes and things, I suppose, but it's mostly unnamed children seeing things in nature. Not really a story so much as an easier way to get facts about the ecosystem across, if that makes sense. I haven't seen anyone from the non-fictional school while I was there, but I tend to get pretty wrapped up in my reading.

I did, thank you. I've managed to make some very good friends here, and they were kind enough to put up with me for a bit. It made a big difference to have a welcoming ear, so I've been trying to offer that to other people too, though no one's taken me up on it yet.

Okay, I think this place officially got more weird. I mean, how can they be trying to teach us to adjust to life in the 'real world' if they're not giving us information *about* the real world?

I hate being lied to.

But I'm glad for the fact that you've got friends. I think it's really horrible when one has none.
