I couldn't help but notice how so far, new arrivals have a tendency to come here on Sundays. I wonder if anyone who's been here longer than me can tell me if this has always been the case? Though a seemingly small detail, it's probably significant in some manner. And after all, it's the small details that bear watching.

I guess they aren't. _[Pause.] In all fairness, though, we could have ended up somewhere considerably worse than this.

Yeah. ... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this place sucks.

I actually like it here a lot.

I'm just saying... we shouldn't just assume everything's hunky-dory.

I'm definitely not assuming that. I actually feel quite worried about all this, because something with the ability to start an even such as this one must be in possession of a power, technique or skill that most of us would be unable to comprehend. Then there is, of course, the issue as to what they would want with all of this. Where there are no answers, there's seldom any feeling of safety.

_{[But here we have a small smile again.]} Then again, since we at least seem to have fairly good control of our own fates within this world, I don't think it'd be wise to worry too much. Worry weightens the mind when we should allow it to soar.
