Snippet #2395522

[[OOC: You're very right. Any ideas?]]

Erik gnawed on his lip as the Presidents continued, telling how they'd be interviewed and tested. As they stepped off and uneasily began talking to each other, Legals stepping infront of them like bodyguards, the civilians beginning to talk to one another, a dull road filling the room. Erik sat, still silent. He pondered what they had said.

Erik knew his only way out of this is if he acted physically unwell. Maybe he could pretend he had an Ou- No, that would get him banished for good, and if they knew he was lying, executed. But making him feel even worse was the "repopulate and survive" part. He wondered, if this "Promise Land" was real, which there was no guarantee it was, then what would happen? Would the society move their and wait until they had used up all their resources and suffocate once again? Or would only a select few, the select few who knew about it, go. It made him uneasy, thinking they would keep this from the population. And re-population? Erik wouldn't be apart of this and he decided it now. He had to somehow get out. He began to feel panicky, but before he could go into melt down state Nan spoke.

"See anyone you know?"

Erik nodded, melt down avoided. "Yeah, there's a Builder over there and I think that Scientist is one of the roommates in my tent," he said, gesturing the people he spoke to. He didn't know either very well, but he had obviously seen them around. "You?" he asked.
