People are mostly the same. It's just the circumstances around 'em that are different.
[ At least that's Julie's takeaway, after three years in Abraxas. ]
13 isn't really an evil number in my world, just unlucky. Or at least that's what people believe. Enough that some buildings don't have a 13th floor, or people will change things so that they use 12 or 14 instead. I don't really know why that's the superstition, but enough people are so afraid of 13 that we have a word for the fear. But I don't know the exact word off the top of my head, it's "13 in Greek (or maybe Latin?)"-phobia.
