[Here's Cato, Barge. Dressed like a pre-collapse civilian with his hands in his pockets. This is so weird.]

Everyone here talks differently.

I mean...really different.

[He pans upward to the flag and back down] I haven't seen a flag like that before.


[This is really unnerving. Like really REALLY unnerving and therefore he turns the feed off before privately messaging Dylan]

I also don't understand the point of everyone asking me to buy these gift cards. I don't have any money.

[Private to Dylan]

...Do you think there are people in my world that talk like this? What does my file say? That...act like this?

The history of Pre-Collapse America indicates that the United States was the one affected but there are people speaking other languages here. There are people who are talking about other countries. Do you think that...I mean do you...

[he exhales] Because if they are...if they did...Why didn't North America ask them to come and help when the floods hit?

[In his file, and what Warden wouldn't read the file? There's a notation.

Prior to the massive ecological disasters that hit the United States of America, the nation had severed most of, if not all ties with the struggling European nation due to disagreements over foreign policy. President Mitt Romney, neglecting his own people poured funds and resources into the oppression of other countries. Succumbing to madness, the president was eventually assassinated but the laws that he put in power led to aggression between North America and other countries.

There's more. There's a lot more about bombs falling and about the United States dragging the whole world down to hell. There's a lot more about how basically "We don't like you" and "well I don't like you either" descended into black B2 Stealth bombers, biochemical warfare, and the human population being so small that the rebellion within the districts threatened the safety of the human species.

But it's a question of if now is the time to honestly discuss that.]

[districttwo]

...no, it - there's no England. I didn't know this place existed.

[He looks up at that] What do youth ages 18 and older do for fun?

[wedonot]

Well, I'm fairly certain my definition of "fun" at eighteen was a little different from other teenagers, [Charles was/is a nerd. B(] but there are loads of restaurants, museums and shops, you could go see a movie, do a guided tour... What sort of thing do you like to do?

[districttwo]

[This is a seriously loaded question Charles. What do you like to do. It's a struggle and ti really shows]

...Sports.

[Sure that works.]

[wedonot]

I'm afraid that's a bit out of my area of expertise, but I'm sure your warden will be able to get his hands on some information on anything you could participate in, so long as we're here.

[districttwo]

Well, what would you have done?

You - [So much he doesn't understand] I'll try anything once.

[wedonot]

The British Museum and the Museum of Natural History both have impressive collections. I didn't live in London when I was a teenager, but I've always enjoyed visiting museums.

[districttwo]

......Do either of them have weaponry?

[wedonot]

There's the Imperial War Museum, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

[districttwo]

That's the only museum at home, the policing and weaponry museum.

[wedonot]

I haven't been in quite a while, but there's probably something you'll find interesting there.

[districttwo]

I'll ask my warden if we can visit.
