[@The One] So exactly how low of a population are we talking, particularly for Europe? Conch Shell and I are pretty close to figuring out our characters' meeting, but we need a clearer picture of what general life is like in Europe. Our current version of the story involves a mostly desolate Europe since kids are mostly gone and old people stay put, meaning our girls can safely avoid attention from anyone. People being around and using the transEurope trains might be an issue for Jakobe.
