conversations.value: *It started with the weather. What was simply strange at first soon became violent: savage winds, followed by days of rain, and lightning tearing the heavens to shreds. It went on for so long, that I began to wonder if the sun were merely a figment of childhood fantasy from long ago.* 
  
  *Soon after, folks started getting sick. It was only the old and weak at first, nothing unusual. But then William Fletcher, a young man of only twenty, got it too. It was a sickness no one had ever seen before. Quick, painful, and always lethal. Our healers were running around in circles while the young and strong choked on their own blood. By the end of the month, nearly a third of the villagers slept six feet below the earth.*  
  
  *That was when the disappearances began. One by one men, women, and children alike all spirited away by the night, no trace of them in their beds the next morning. Dear God, how much longer must we endure these tribulations?*

  Every summer since 1937, the Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA) has put on the production of *The Lost Colony* at the Waterside Theatre. This year is no exception. Opening night sees a packed house; whispers of anticipation ripple through the crowd as the lights dim and the orchestra begins the opening song. All of their many months of hardworking and preparation have boiled down to this one moment. It's show time and nothing could possibly go wrong...

conversations.value: The Colony : Fort Raleigh. By all means, a place that should no longer exist, yet here it is  thriving before your eyes. How did you get here? Better yet, how can you leave?

  ~Proverbs 14:11

conversations.value: The Historian: History is the fabric of our culture, and you understand this intimately. This is the chance you've been waiting for: a secret buried deep in our American heritage. What's not to love?
  
  “For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out. For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow. Will they not teach you and tell you and utter words out of their understanding?"
  ~Job 8:8-10
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Perceptive: You see things that everyone else misses because you have mastered the art of holding your tongue and opening your eyes. Afterall, the devil is in the details, and if anyone can find a way out of this mess, it's you.

conversations.value: Reckless: You take unnecessary risks. Whether it's a lapse in judgment, or simply for the thrill of it all, doesn't matter. Either way, you're going to get yourself into real trouble one day, and no amount of dumb luck will save you then.
  
  "All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly."
  ~Proverbs 13:16
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Skeptical: You know what they say, a grain of salt and all that. But there is a line between seeking the truth, and burying your head in the proverbial sand. Ignoring what's right in front of you can be just as dangerous as trusting blindly.
  
  "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do."
  ~James 1:5-8

conversations.value: Diplomatic: You've always been a people person; you have a way with words. Your golden tongue has never failed you before, and hopefully it won't start now, because none of you  would last a day without the colonists' help. 
  "A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit."
  ~Proverbs 15:4
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Solitary: You're independent; you've never needed anyone else before, and there's no reason you should need anyone else now. No matter what happens, you can take care of yourself. Or can you?

conversations.value: This is Where it Ends: You don't care what happens at this point, but no way are you walking towards your death any farther in this stupid forest with those stupid idiots who are going. It's nearly night time, you're cold, exhausted, and sick of this bull crap. No matter what you're getting out of this god forsaken place.

conversations.value: Discovering Your Place: You once found yourself at odds with those who held you back; yet now your ambition has granted you freedom.
