Okay, the next time I say anything like ‘this will go fine’ about an upcoming jaunt, each and every one of you is welcome to come find me and punch me in the face. Oh my god.

On the other hand, maybe there were parallels for them, and Circe killed them already.

... Yeah. One of them, anyway, a rival for head actor. Circe was so smug about it, too. But only I remember it so it’s fine.

God, if there wasn't some fucking Traveller intervention on that one Cain and Circe's bullshit would've had a wildly different outcome.

She already thought that’s what he was there for. I don’t think it ever really occurred to her that he wouldn’t want it.

It definitely didn't occur to him that people would want it. But then, like. Spend a year getting tortured and you're not gonna see the good in anyone.

If seeing the good in people was a requirement of the position she wouldn’t have been able to do it either.

Yeah. Those were the ones that didn't tend to last, huh.

[He has lingering memories yet, muted as they are, of Cain-- of Graham watching runs on TV of people not making it more than a few months, or a year tops, trying to be kind and getting screwed over by it at every turn.]

I don’t know how any of the actors who thought of the Folk as people from the start lasted for more than a week.

Fuck knows how well Cain would've gone, then. He was half convinced everyone here had suffered like he did, he was... too full of empathy, almost. Didn't know how to back down. That would have bitten him a lot worse in any other circumstance.

Branch volunteered because he thought he could make their lives better and then spent five years forbidden from doing basically anything. Hell, I think Circe only lasted as long as she did because she really thought that eventually she’d get to go home.
