018 - Phone, still stage four... or is he?

[So when he starts the call he sounds kind of astonished.]

Guys, I think I really am a communist.

No really. After hearing what it means, it... sounds a lot like the way things work back home. I mean, we kind of sort of have a system where you do something for someone and they repay you in kind, but we really don't have any currency or anything, and everyone just does stuff to help each other out.

It... worked really well. I don't see what the big deal is. Why is it supposedly such a evil thing or whatever? I mean if it works, it works, right?

There's someone from back home stuck here I'd rather not see here-- ... no, I'm glad to be able to see her again. But it's too dangerous here for her.

...I know what that feels like. I've had a couple of friends from home here. They both ended up going away again. Both of them could handle it, yeah, but... I still didn't like having to see them here.

It's because you never know what could happen, right? This place is unpredictable more than anything.

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, exactly. It's great having people you know around, but kind of terrible that they have to go through all of this too.

Well, I guess all we can do for now is protect them as much as we can.

[worstvikingever]

Well... yeah. I mean, my friends are gone, back home hopefully, but I... I'll try to do my best protecting other people here.
