In Paris, my brothers and I fought for a republic that has, from what I am told -- now come. Our lives were given to that cause and for that cause; for a day when all the people of the world were to be equal, free, and peaceful. We fought to remove power from the hands of the tyrants and place it in the hands of men who would live as brothers, as they are meant to. That may have come to pass. It may have not. I know there are many on this ship who are from different worlds.

If it has not -- in a place such as this, what does one do? Does he continue the fight? There is nothing to barricade with; there are kings but they do not hold power. My future is uncertain, I mislike it. I need something to do with myself.

I have studied law. I had not yet passed the bar at home, I would have taken it again in the end of June. I am well-versed in various political philosophies and writing articles, speeches, pamphlets, that sort of thing. I am also proficient in canne de combat and various firearms. What might I do here? Assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

I know how to fire a gun. As for the second, my brothers from home are here, and they will surely do that for me as I will do so for them.

Fighting what?

[A pause.]

That is true enough. Allies are always welcomed.

let us hope it remains that way. civil unrest is never good.

[unsoldiered]

can't say it is, nope

you had a lot of experience with it, huh? civil unrest?

[You seem pretty old-school, dude.]

[untamedantinous]

Yes. I have participated in it, from time to time.

you definitely have the writing like one; its always cool to see how different writing is between different times, y'know?

[...A bit of a pause whilst he tries to parse this.]

It was June of 1832 when I was last at home.
