Um. Hi. I'm Henry.
[ He knows full well how to use a smartphone so there's no awkwardness there, it's more the fact that he's addressing people he can't see and hasn't even met in person yet. They all do it so it's nothing new, it's just figuring out how to start this that has him fumbling for words for a moment. Some people might not even really care who he is and what his name is, but he likes to be friendly. Might as well be authentic, even in a place like this. ]
I've been here for a few weeks now, I...haven't met a lot of people yet. And I was thinking about where we all come from.
[ There's a lot to fear or at least be worried about when it comes to this place, so idle chitchat like what he's initiating might not be super welcomed by everyone, but messages like these are easy to ignore, he figures. He's curious and he wants to know people better; the ones who are willing to listen and respond, anyway. ]
I know of a lot of places, some of them...kind of bad. But I didn't know a place like this could exist. So. I was thinking maybe there are places even worse than this out there. Or maybe more places like where I come from, where things are more...normal. Ish. [ The 'ish' is because, well, his hometown doesn't even technically exist. But that's a story for another time. ] What's your home like? Is this place better than what you left behind?
[ And, because he is a teenage boy: ] What do you miss most? I miss really good New York pizza. And my family. I really miss my family, but at least my mom's here. Well, one of them, at least. [ Oh. Right. That's another story. That'll have to wait. ]

( now she misses it... it's bad that she misses hot chocolate more than pizza. ))
I've noticed that, too. ( she frowns, because she can see the hero wheels in that kid's brain turning, and as much as she loves that part of him, they can't save every world... can they? ) It's hard to imagine going back to a place worse than this. Maybe they can go somewhere better, or learn things here to help them there.

[ Oh, the wheels are definitely turning in his head. Unfortunately for his mom, probably. ]
Do you think...we can help them? I don't know how it works here when people go home, but...maybe we could try.
no subject
( yes, unfortunately for her. she wants to help everyone, too, that heroic charming nature didn't skip a generation. she's just a little more realistic. )
I don't know, kid. I don't even know how we're getting out of here yet. But... maybe.
no subject
I know. I know we have to figure out a way back home, and we will. But if we can help some people, too...we should.
no subject
( as frustrating as his hero tendencies can be, that's Henry. and Emma can't help but be a little proud of his big heart. that's a mom for you. )
So you hear about anything interesting with this post?
