[ give him a moment while he restarts his brain upon realising he actually has a lot of options to choose from? ]
Uhh. Sure? Guess my gramps would be a good place to start?

He was a good man. Mayor of my home, actually. He cared a lot about the people there, and wanted to do good by them. But he wasn't a total stick in the mud? He liked a good drink, and enjoyed stuff like card games, sleight of hand tricks, that kind of thing. He taught me a lot.
Thhhhhhe people who birthed you? Normally there's an asterisk like "and raised you" but the "and raised" part is subjective. Sometimes they can't, sometimes they don't, sometimes it's a bit of both.
I mean. Probably not? Aidios is like… worshipped by the church? Sometimes your local deity invades your dialect. It happens.
Literally give me any example where things didn’t go south, complicated themselves and then wrap themselves up in several knots. Class VII are just… really good at being right there in the centre of everything when the mess up starts, y’know?
Cat 2019 is a individual, singular experience meant to mess with our minds and sanity. Class VII is more like a group, and we did most classes and independent work together.
I guess more like the dorms? But if the dorms had to go to homeroom together. It’s the people, not the topic of study, that makes Class VII.
Well, the motivations and opposition tend to change. Sometimes your home country likes to funnel all their tech investments into war and then things just get stupid.

[ al, please god don't make me trawl wikis for crow's grandpa's name that might not even exist ]

Oh boy, kitkat.
A grandpa. It's like... my parent's parent. Grandpa's male, grandma's female.
no subject
That explains nothing. What's a parent?

[okay, well that concept she gets]
I don't know who birthed me. And the person who raised me is-- [. . .]
[she bristles, hair standing on end, ears flattening again]
Whatever. I don't care about her.

[ he'd press but uh... that topic dismissal was so fast he has whiplash. ]
But that's pretty much the run down. Gramps was my grandpa. He was a good man.

Sounds like it. You're-- lucky, to have a guy like that in your life.

[. . . ANYWAY]
Yeah? I hope they got what was coming to them.
no subject
'Course things turned out to be complicated and an aidios-damned half there too.
no subject
You keep using words that mean absolutely nothing to me.
[BUT. ANYWAY]
Sounds like the lives of the people you know are super complicated. Sucks to be them, right?

Oh, yeah. I'm familiar with that type.
[lol lookin' at you Adora]
So what's this "Class VII" you're talking about?
no subject
Literally my class. Like, my school class. Class VII.
no subject
Cats 2019?
[a class like that. a class about cats singing and dancing]

[she has learned something today!!]
. . . kind of like my group of cadets back home. The one I was trained with.

Military life, huh? Apparently it doesn't change much between worlds.
no subject
Yeah. Wouldn't think that it would.
War is war no matter where you go. And soldiers are soldiers.
