[The question catches him slightly off guard; it wasn't one he had really been asking other people. It seemed as though nobody had been here for more than maybe a year or two, and he didn't want to remind anyone of just how trapped they were by asking.
Still, if it might help someone else, he doesn't mind answering.]
Mm, not very long at all, myself. About a month, but well, it already feels like longer than that. You kind of have to get used to things very quickly around here.
[ his knee-jerk reaction here is to start flipping out a little—a month? he can't be away for a month—but that fades as quickly as it came when he remembers that, oh yeah, there's nowhere for him to be away from anymore. which is... a bummer, even if home sucked major ass. but the goal was to make it not suck, and he can't do that without restoring it into existence first. which is why he's here. right? fuck, this is so confusing. ]
...I take it most people have been here longer, then.
