"I wanna think it's not so random. Doesn't make it true, but..." Not that he had any proof of that. "Maybe it's a question of potential, not experience, for some people. I've actually been in a similar situation to this before, but the people that were brought in there really were picked at random. The idea that maybe we were brought here for a reason makes it a little less bleak, anyway."

He shrugged before taking a drink. "There's so much here goin' on with magic, 'n prophecies and shit... Some of us have had relatives 'n friends that were here in the past before the last Calamity. Seems a lot more planned, I guess."

Johnny was still having a hard time dealing with that fact, still not sure how to process it all. Mostly he tried not to think about it.
