It's really too bad that you didn't. If your universe was anything like ours, you'd have found some ruins on the planet closest to you that helped you get out to where the rest of us are.

[ a pause. ]

It's a real shame we aren't able to explore any of the other planets around here. Being stuck on one planet isn't really something I'm used to.

[ at least Wyver is kinda like Palaven, though he still misses home. ]

[poolhall_killer]

I suppose coming here would be considered my first visit to a new planet. Sort of fulfilling a childhood wish, in a rather twisted way.

[Luckily Olympia's filling the void somehow.]

[centurian]

Lucky you.

[ he doesn't mean to sound quite as bitter as he does. and when he realizes it, he catches it. ]

Sorry. It's just... it takes a lot of getting used to.

[ what with Palaven being gone. after they'd all fought so hard to try and save it. ]

[poolhall_killer]

[There's a quiet huff somewhere in there, but he nods.]

It does, I know. I like my new home and all, but there's that lingering feeling of sadness behind it.

[centurian]

It just... doesn't feel right.

[ not that things were going well, but there was still a chance. ]

But, I guess I should be thankful that they managed to save as many of us as they did.

[ if only one turian was still standing, it was worth it. he just needed to remind himself of that. ]

[poolhall_killer]

[It's a feeling Venom knows well, but he's going to try to look at the positive side... even if he's not very good at it.]

They did manage to save many of us...

But back to the original topic, would you like to get something to eat?

[It may or may not taste like chicken]

[centurian]

[ you know what... he's glad to get off of this subject. ]

Oh yeah. Definitely. Even if chicken doesn't taste like everything, I still want to try it, just to say that I have.

[poolhall_killer]

We'll be sure to order different meats, as well.

[Trading culinary nuances with an alien is something Venom didn't think he'd do, but here they are. And he's really looking forward to it.]

[centurian]

You think they have any of that "dragon" meat? Do you think those would taste like chicken?

[ look, now he's curious. this is all stuff he's got to try. ]

[poolhall_killer]

I haven't tried dragon, even though a few restaurants offered it back home.

Here, I don't think they offer it at all. They tend to revere their dragon population, so chances are they're staying off the menu.

[centurian]

I didn't know Earth had dragons!

[ this is some pretty cool information, ok? ]

Yeah, I guess the way they left the giant one in the jungle should've been a tip-off.

[poolhall_killer]

Apparently, not every Earth has them. Mine certainly has a few, and a handful of chefs are known for their "fresh roasted dragon".

[The thought of that dish kind of makes him hungry, even if he's never tried it.]

You saw that monument as well, I take it? It was quite majestic if you ask me.
