[Pierce doesn't normally make announcements, except when it comes to internal company memos and the like. He keeps things strictly business most of the time, but he is making this addition to the network from his communal housing room. He looks grave and upset, but he is clearly wanting those who might wish to know the information that he has obtained.]

To anyone who knew and was friends with Miss Ava Orlova, I regret to have you inform you all that she has returned back through the portal. While we had only begun to build a relationship, she was the closest person to having one of my daughters back, and I will miss her.

[He sighs heavily and folds his hands together, managing a grief-stricken smile.]

If anyone has any stories of her exploits, I would very much value hearing about them.

[She shakes her head, throwing a shrug in for good measure. Apparently that's as much as she'll expand upon, in regards to her old schooling life. That is... a non-existent one...]

It's sometimes good. I am still learning how to — 'fit in'.

[peacemongering]

I believe the role of school is both education and encouraging child to be themselves with restraint and respect to each other.

[And to be... well, children.]

[shoplifter]

[With restraint. That's always the hard part when you have concerning abilities.]


You liked school?

[peacemongering]

[It was part of learning.]

Oh yes, very much so. I made a lot of friends there, and I learned all manner of subjects. What's your favourite subject in school? Mine was always history.

[shoplifter]

I like art and P.E. right now.

The others are alright. I do not like math much, but I am good at it. History does help fill in a lot of... blanks.

[peacemongering]

Creativity and physical activity. That speaks a lot about you, Miss.

It may not seem like it, but much of life involves math, so definitely keep at it. How much of the history is about the place we now reside?

[shoplifter]

I barely know the history of earth, let alone this place.

I have not had the chance to learn about the outside world. But they have... a little bit of everything, I guess. In their lessons.

[peacemongering]

That's the joy of history. One never knows everything about past events, but sometimes, the parallels are all one needs. Plus, it allows us to know a past in order to avoid future mistakes.

And as long as you enjoy what you can in school, that's all you need.

[shoplifter]

Do you really think it will work? People avoiding mistakes by learning the past?

[It seems fake to her.]

[peacemongering]

Some might try, but history does have a habit of repeating itself. However, we all should try to be better. That's the only way to improve ourselves.

[shoplifter]

... I suppose that is true.

[She'll have to keep that in mind — for her future.]
