Here 6 weeks.

[ Not that Maine's counting the days or anything. Nope. Certainly not.

(He totally is.) ]

Longest time? Average? [ Then: ] You?

( Lord... )

Lost count.

Least 2 years altogether, I think.

( But probably quite a bit more than that. )

bout the same.

too long either way.

[nonscriptum]

A couple weeks

Kinda feels like it's been longer

I’ve been here about two months. I asked similar questions when I first arrived, and I was told the average stay is a few months. One of the residents who has been here the longest said she has been kept here for a total of around two and a half years.

[circumitus]

3 years as of this month.

[bloodbathing]

Holy shit.

[ Excuse him. Up until now, the longest Maine's heard has been 'a little over a year.' Two years blows that out of the fucking water. ]

Willing?

[ Does she want to stay here, or is she trying to escape? ]

text;

[bloodbathing]

Agreed.

[ Way too long, especially with no known end in sight. ]

Shit to do.

[ Back home, he means. ]

[ The polite thing would be to ask Nate's opinion of this place before making a comment. But: ]

Too long.

[ Yeah, Maine's unilaterally decided that that's way too long. ]

High, now.

[ Between this answer and Kate's. Fucking hell. ]

text

[bloodbathing]

Does. Or yesterday.

[ Can it be both things at once? It feels that way. ]

text.

[bloodbathing]

[ Two and a half years sounds like a fucking nightmare. But a few months...? ]

Few months isn't bad.

[bloodbathing]

Fuck.

[ ... Yeah, that's. That's all he's got right now.

Just. Fuck. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

165 days

sometimes it feels like it's been way longer

[volitaunt]

same here. battles to fight, wars to win, that kind of thing.

want to hear something ironic?

[circumitus]

yeah. fuck.

not normal tho. most dont tend to stay that long.

[bloodbathing]

[ So he's not the only one counting the days... ]

Tomorrow's 43 days.

[ Admitting that "6 weeks" wasn't just an estimate; it's exactly how long he's been here. ]

Adjusted?

[ To this place, he means. ]

[bloodbathing]

[ All very familiar things. The same things that Maine needs to get back and do. ]

Likewise.

?

[ That punctuation would be him saying, "Sure, what?" Only without words. ]

[bloodbathing]

Want to stay?

[ He hopes the answer is a "yes." He hopes that she hasn't been trapped here for three fucking years. ]

Nearly three years now. There are only a handful of us who've been around that long, though, people usually come and go more quickly than that.

[Peter isn't sure if keeping track of the exact number of days he's been here is helping him cope with this crap at all, but it's... something to do, he guesses.]

adjusted to some things, not so much to others. whenever I think I've gotten used to something, there's always something weirder or more annoying or more dangerous right around the corner to deal with.

it's not all bad. some of the people are really cool

text.

[garbagemarvel]

It’s maddeningly imprecise, and there seems to be no discernable pattern at all as to who is brought here and for how long.

[ text ]

[oldtonew]

4 months

[ It is. A very long time to Kettara. ]

[ text ]

[forcer]

Far too long, though I believe it's about the same as you. From what I understand, there's no way to leave this place.

[circumitus]

sure as hell dont want to go back home.

[Or "home", if air quotes were possible at the moment. What she's made of her situation here with Nick has become her home...]

[ text ]

[bloodbathing]

No. People go.

[ That's what he's been told, at least. And he has no reason to doubt the information. ]

Must find trigger.

[ Whether he means 'the people that leave must find the trigger' or 'I must find the trigger' isn't clear. ]
