Its the 3rd month and the 159th year.

That's disappointing. Maybe I could try again in a couple weeks. I need to find a good length of wire or a strong and thin rope first anyway.

yeah. And figure out the right attachment method...

Maybe I could hang around near by and maybe sneak a peek when somebody enters or leaves.

It looks much like the hall you were in, but with closely spaced doors and a set of stairs after a short stretch of hall

I-is this a draft? That'd explain why they're focusing on younger men... I-I don't want to go off to war. I don't understand anything; I'll be killed! I'm too young to die!
My mind's racing a mile-a-minute as they come to question me. They want to know about my family; they're not around. That's not good for me is it? They're going to figure no one's going to care if I'm taken away. And they're probably right. My parents were too dead or something else to want me; if not them, then who?

I hold myself together long enough to say, "I don't understand, could you speak slower?".

"Your family. Where are they?"

Given that the question's probably, "Where's your family?", my answer is, "They're dead."

The man shouts something to the others. Then he says to Julian
"Take Care. Be Safe."

Ump: "what were they looking for?"
Yip: "someone. They were looking at people. I think they searched all of our homes as well. hope they didn't steal anything."

Not vertically; don't want to have to climb in the dark. Though otherwise not in any particular direction in mind.

Holding off this for now...
