???
that's surprising
what kind of adventures ?
you said your dad travelled a lot

[terrantrash]

He did.
He dragged me all over the world to practically every continent, until political unrest had him launching me in a rocket to Mars.
At least this time, landing on a new planet wasn't a crash landing.

[underwhelms]

[ . . . ]

YOU WENT TO MARS

[terrantrash]

_[Ah...]

When I was eleven, yes.
I only recently returned to Earth, before waking up here.

[underwhelms]

whats it like?
are there... aliens.........

[terrantrash]

No, there are no aliens on Mars.

Humans haven't colonized the planet for very long, but it's livable. Outside of those who hold power and the royal family, the population is rather poor. It's cold and not much can really be grown on the planet.

_{[Aka Mars fucking SUCKS]}

[underwhelms]

ok so that killed a lot of my expectations
colonized?? was there an indigenous species?

[terrantrash]

Well, there was an ancient civilization on Mars once. Having uncovered their technology allowed humanity to colonize the planet.

[underwhelms]

what happened to them?

[terrantrash]

I don't know.

[underwhelms]

?
you weren't interested?

[terrantrash]

I was. My father's research was surrounding their technology...but we know nothing of their civilization otherwise.

[underwhelms]

that's so mysterious
i wonder what happened
maybe a meteorite or a disease
so you lived on mars?
too bad it sucked

[terrantrash]

They could have also wiped themselves out as well.

Objectively it wasn't a very nice place to live, but there was someone I care about very much who I had the chance to see and be with.

After my father died I was eventually forced to live on a space station and in turn leave her side.

[underwhelms]

[ Wait, his dad is dead? Does anyone in El Nysa still have their parents? 6_9 ]

oh
why'd you have to leave?

[terrantrash]

I had no choice.

Because I was born on Earth, I was discriminated against by those living on Mars. The only reason I was able to live on the planet was because of the influence my father's research had and the generosity of the Martian princess. Once he had passed the powers that be saw me as a nuisance to get rid of.

[underwhelms]

[ That's... A Lot. ]

oh
that sucks

[terrantrash]

_{[That's only scratching the surface.]}

That's one way of putting it.

[underwhelms]

[ . . .

. . . . . . . ]

so
being here
people are nicer

[terrantrash]

A lot nicer, yes.

[underwhelms]

it's not all that bad being here
even if it's a little difficult
i'm sorry that happened to you

[terrantrash]

It isn't, no.
For the first time in my life I have the freedom to make my own choices.
You don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong.

[underwhelms]

that's great isn't it! [ Let's look at the positives! ]
what are you going to do?
with all that freedom

[terrantrash]

Try to live.
I need to have a stable enough foundation in place so when the person most important to me wakes up, I'll be able to take care of them.

[underwhelms]

[ They've been talking about Slaine for a long time now, better move the conversation back to JJ before his attention wanders. ]

yeah i know what that's like
i mean i have an apartment but my entire family isn't going to fit in there!
plus my parents were a big deal back on earth
i want to make sure people are excited about them here too
it's not easy starting from the bottom
but i don't mind working hard if it's for my family
