Oh!

Right!

Right.

[he steps back from the door frame, come on in, Terra]

[buriedearth]

[ Coming in now. ]

Thanks. I was actually kind of a little more curious about this hijacking--so I had some questions to ask about it.

[ He'll wait until the doors closed, though. ]

[foo_bar]

[which han does after he's cleared it. It's kinda dark-- but at least... there's a lamp on his desk. He can turn that one on. It's fine.]

Thhhhhe hija--hijacking. Yanno that's just my own name for it? It's got... some other name. Some science-y name. [he waves his fingers]

I like mine better though.

[buriedearth]

[ It's fine. Everything is fine. ]

Other name?

[ Hold on, he's curious about this one now... ]

Do you remember what the other name more "sciencey-name" for it is?

[foo_bar]

[it's all so very fine.]

D... D-78... ssssix? But, but, but. It doesn't sound like they know anything more than what I know, and. Hijacking. Just kinda gets at it.

[buriedearth]

...I'd believe that they don't know anymore than you do if I thought those who gave it that name were trustworthy.

[ He really doesn't trust anyone high up in the Administration if he's being fair. He wouldn't be sure if they, to use a non-Disney word for it, 'bullshitted' Han about not knowing anymore. ]

But, this whole hijacking thing wasn't always around, right? [ ... ] Do you know how long it's been around for, in this world?

[foo_bar]

Iiiiiit wasn't here when I got here. You used to be able t' walk around outside... just fine?

[he looks a little annoyed at that, honestly. But hey. Whatever, experimenting with the wall is SURELY over by now?]

[buriedearth]

[ That's...really strange. ]

So it's something new. When did you arrive here, anyway? A few months ago, a year, or...?

[foo_bar]

Bbbback at the beginning of the summer. Yanno. Like Shixty days ago?

[buriedearth]

Sixty days ago? I didn't know you were that new.

[ ...This guy had no real idea what he was getting into, did he? The brunet frowned at that. Unlike them, maybe he had a choice -- to leave while he still could. Terra didn't doubt this was about to get extremely ugly.

He already knows by now that if Vivi hadn't had that backup she'd be dead. What if something happened to Han?

Staff on the company behind their kidnapping or not, he didn't want him to get hurt so he just-- ]

...Han, are you sure this is still the place where you want to be? You're staff, so I don't think it's too farfetched to imagine that they'd let you go if you quit.

[foo_bar]

Y'think they'd let me quit? After everything I'vvvvve seeeeeen?

[hs laughs a little nervously at that, and leans forward against his desk. His knuckle taps nervously, but lightly, and unevenly, against the wood.]

Minute I got assissigned this job, that was it. I was stuck.

[buriedearth]

...I'm not sure. I thought since you just showed up recently, you hadn't seen what might be 'too much'.

[ Guess who still doesn't know how corporations like this work too wellMaybe he was being too naive (is anyone surprised? no?!), but he had thought it might've been an option because Han was so new. It looks like he was wrong. ]

Why did you even take this job again? Was it the only one around?

[ If they're going to continue to be stuck in here together, he figures he might as well ask. ]
