"Is it strange or merely what you're unaccustomed to?" The distinct accent in the other's voice was immediately tuned into â over time and wear, their accent had faded considerably, adjusting to a more nondescript inflection that was murky, at best. An illusion, a mish-mash of their adventures across the world and peering into what they considered to be other realms. Still, the perspective of others was endlessly fascinating to them, seeing others through the lens of a camera for a living and carrying their loyal Kodak around with them within arm's reach, to that day. "Ah, you're from Dublin. I suppose crime rate here could be more of a culture shock, is it not?" Then, after a moment, their head tilted, curiosity piqued by the brusque manner with which she spoke. "Riddle me this... How you can be riveted by the tale of humanity's pitfalls, but bored at the same time? What is your life missing, do you think?"
shrugging her shoulders at their words, orla sighed. "two things can be true at the same time." it was both strange and something she wasn't used to - the two could be put together and the fact that people were trying to pass it off as the norm was quite concerning. "dublin's got plenty of crime though, petty crime and the occasional- big one, you know? not really people killing their parents or something." orla couldn't believe what had transpired - how did that even happen? from what she could gather, they were a sweet person and had snapped - what would this town do to her if she stayed. still, if she weighed up everything, staying here was better than leading her mediocre life from her parents' house; she could lead her mediocre life in a murder town now. "guess it's part of growing up or some shit like that? not really sure on that end but i don't really think anyone has the answers. not here, anyways." she sighed. "this experience has put me off true crime, that's for sure." whilst it didn't directly involve her, it was a reminder to orla that she had to be smart and keep her wits about her.
