[This is the first time Elsa - the real Elsa, not someone from a flood - has thought to post publicly to the network in a long time. She's out and about more often now rather than hiding in her room almost exclusively, but it's still... hard. Everything about this has been hard, and she just wants it to stop.]

I've been doing a lot of thinking- [About a lot of things, but really one thing in particular.] About people with powers. People like me.

What's it like for them, in your world? If they exist.

[She's tempted to leave it at that, but.]

Most of the stories I've heard haven't been very reassuring.

[So the idea of life after the Barge is not really an exciting thing to consider.]

An understandable feeling, considering your situation.

[And that's not sarcastic at all; he's being completely honest, with that particular sentiment.]

You have options, of course. Stay here and play along with the program. Stay here and don't. Or start being more aggressive, looking for a way to try and escape.

Right now though none of those has anything standing out for them, making them look more promising or palatable than the rest. It's all a muddle.

[bothfoulandfair]

Is that what you're considering now?

[walkingmeltdown]

Yes.

[He's a bit cagey, but sees no real point in denying it, in the end. Not like to anyone it would come as much of a surprise.]

Escape seems like it would be...difficult, to put together. And it would require collusion. I have no desire for what this place is asking of me; I don't want to change. But dragging my feet and trying to stay put isn't producing much in the way of results, either.

Ergo. My dilemma.

[He has no idea what he's going to do either, Elsa. He's just too proud to actually phrase it that way.]
