aww yeah it's question meme time
Time to bring back one of my old faves...
Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:
1. POST a top-level with your character name
2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character
3. ANSWER the question you were asked
4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!
We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!
QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.
Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

It’s a culture shock. There are a lot of things here that he loves – basically everything that’s new, the food, the animals, nature generally, being outside – but he was locked inside a very confined space and kept to the same routine for a very long time. The volume of things that are new and different, combined with the fact that there are so many options he didn’t have before, is overwhelming for him, and there isn’t a way for him to take it slowly. Because even when he goes inside, his apartment is another kind of culture shock – it’s clean, uncluttered, he’s the only person in it, and it’s far, far too quiet. He can’t relax there because it feels unnatural to him. Outside is better because it’s loud, there’s traffic, there’s movement and there’s people. That feels better to him than solitude, but there’s still so much to take in that he never really feels safe in it. Not yet.
He’s been most comfortable when he’s been around April, because she’s been friendly and reliable and very kind. Also, he’d have no idea of where to get food if not for her. She’s showing him the basics and it would be a lot harder to cope without her.
Strangely enough, the political situation is also kind of a comfort. That’s not to say he fully understands it yet, not by any means. His view of it is simplistic and insular and involves comparing the authorities here to the ones on the train. He arrived and was given orders and explanations which he didn’t trust, and now he sees that the government wants to restrict import rights and prevent them from being truly equal unless they become registered. That resonates with him. He’s spent his whole life as part of the quintessential, disenfranchised lower class. He finds the network strange and, on the whole, confusing (he’s not used to talking that way, or…at all, and he prefers to be around people physically) but posts about registering, and how people are treated here, are the easiest for him to answer. There’s a side of him that’s looking for someone to embody the kind of reaction against the authorities that Gilliam or Curtis would have on the train. He hasn’t found that person yet, and the lack of them contributes to how lonely he feels.
That’s the side of it that’s been hardest for him. He doesn’t have people around him all the time, and particularly he doesn’t have the people that he grew up with and knew him so well. In some ways the train was like a prison, especially in the tail section, and that was why they all wanted more freedom. He has gained freedom by coming here, but he has also lost his community. The kind of environment that he grew up in just doesn’t exist here, and he doesn’t really know how to adapt to that. On the train he was very dependent on the people he trusted telling him what to do, and he did it without question. Now suddenly none of them are here, and he has to make all his own choices – which itself is new, and not entirely welcome.
….this was very tldr I’m sorry! In summary: it’s hard. He’s trying, but he feels very lost, very lonely. Despite that, almost everything he sees here seems beautiful to him, and the natural world leaves him feeling awed. It’ll take him a while to adapt.

That’s ok he’s confused by pretty much everything here anyway. He’ll just stare at her judgmentally until she explains u_u that’s bound to work right?
