Busy day/night on here. Adding to it in brief:

1. Does anyone here know ballroom dance?

2. Is anyone willing to learn?

[ this is probably totally a genuine interest by Annie to learn some form of cultural dance relevant to the history of this world (no). or... it's a ruse related to tracking something else down involved with ballroom dancing (basically). ]

I've met some of them. People who were here long enough to see this place--change? It doesn't make sense.

Did you register?

I'm Registered.

For the benefits, or because you believe what they're saying. About needing help.

Benefits. Both initially, and reaffirmed later on.

Any world that needs heroes needs heroes out of the people who are part of that world. They don't need people like us.

Considering they're still bringing people here, I don't think they agree with you.

They are leaving the Lachesis-Porter running, that's true.

They're using it to their advantage. Do you think they could shut it down if they even wanted to?

They might. If Lachesis would allow it; if we could be dealt with once it's down. If they had anything else to gain an edge against their enemies.

Five years hasn't unsettled events so much that I think it's worse without us here than it is with us.

"Dealt with" being the key term there.

Of course. But the government and its branches know we're concerned about that, just as the people are. Look at the memorial. Look at the way the heroes of this world disappeared, retiring or otherwise. Look at how the imPorts before us were rounded up and sent home.

Discussing it on here is pointless. Everyone already knows we have concerns over these things.

[ Everyone reads these things, private or otherwise. ]

Is that what people talk about at Town Council meetings, or whatever it was?

Might be. I wasn't able to attend.

[ kind of soon after "yo imma monster"and other things have been going down. ]

Might be it's just casual conversation at the tavern. It shouldn't be on here.

I don't spend a lot of time at taverns. Or dancing.

[ which is mostly derek conceding the point, paranoid enough to catch her meaning and want to leave off the discussion. ]

Never too late to learn a few new tricks.

[ Adapt. Taverns and dancing aren't the only ways, but as he concedes the point, she points out the ways to learning. ]

I keep hearing there good for self improvement.

The dancing maybe. You're going to have a harder time selling taverns and bars as self-improvement.

To a modern audience.

What other audience is there?

A multitude depending on which imPort you're speaking with - we're not all modern.

The different worlds I've heard about. Not this part. Different times.

Mmm, it's - not so uncommon. If you want an accurate idea of those who're from Earth from different times, you'd be better off asking the network.

[ or make stiles ask tbh ]

It's a good idea. Thank you.

[ that's what he's for isn't he? ]

It's not worth thanking me over, but sure.
