[ It's early November when Orpheus posts to the network again, this time sitting cross-legged on the floor of his bedroom with his guitar in his lap and the Omni propped up in front of him. The camera catches him leaning back after having set it to broadcast, and he waves as the recording starts. ]
Hi, everyone! I'm Orpheus, and, I thought of something that might be nice for us to do together? I know we're all busy building new lives here, but I don't think that means we have to forget the places we came from completely, or leave those memories behind. Unless you want to? That's fair too.
[ He pauses briefly, looking thoughtful and a little solemn as he considers that, before shaking his head and getting himself back on track.]
But! In my experience a big part of any place a person calls home is the stories that people tell there and the songs they sing, and it seems like it might be nice to share those with each other, as a way of giving each other a glimpse into where we came from, and of preserving them for the future. It can be anything you want to tell us about, whether it's a piece of history or a legend or a song or even a nursery rhyme you like. You don't have to share anything if you don't want to, of course, but I'd really love to hear anything and everything people are willing to add.

[ And sometimes it does exactly the opposite, but Orpheus is happy to leave that unsaid. ]
I'm glad you had people there who were able to help you find hope again, though. It's one of the most important things a person can have, I think.

[Given what Maul saw in Deerington and now here in Trench, it can happen, but just as often people will give into their worst desires.]
.....Perhaps.
[He's too stubborn to admit that Orpheus is right. Maybe some other time if the topic of conversation comes up again.]

It's what I've found, at least. Whenever times have been hard, for me, I've tried to hold onto the idea that things can get better. It's not always easy, but dreaming of a better world and the ways to reach it has kept me going through a lot. I don't know where I'd be, if I couldn't do that.
[ He does know where he was, though, when he managed to falter on that front at the exact wrong moment. And he would very much like to never go there again. ]
