[The comma turns on to show an upwards shot of a… blue man with fins and gills. And a military vest on. Which is covered in blood. As is his neck. And mouth. The bullet-shaped holes in the vest suggest… well. Bullet wounds. Which is strange because he seems fine and perfectly… blue. He looks down and gives the comm a bland look.]

You're not dead, man, not here at least. Were you shot?

How'd you know? [Then again... he should probably not be sarcastic with someone he doesn't know.] Mission went bad down in Texas.

[borntobewildcat]

Just call it a hunch. [Shrug] Just wondering if that kind of thing is normally fatal for you, though I guess not.

How bad are we talking?

[finburns]

Five bullets bad. Don't remember much after that point.

[borntobewildcat]

Oooh... Yeah. Well, good thing you showed up here, then. Welcome to the City.

[finburns]

Thanks. You been here long?

[borntobewildcat]

A little over five months, so if you need anything... Well, I might not be the best to ask, but let me know and I'll help if I can.

[finburns]

People have been here longer?

[borntobewildcat]

Some of my friends have been stuck here for more than two years.

[finburns]

Long time. I assume it's because there's no way out?

[borntobewildcat]

Not one you can make on your own, unfortunately. To leave, you either need to die, which isn't a guarantee, or have the porter get bored with you.

[finburns]

Wonderful.

[borntobewildcat]

You might as well try to get comfortable. This place isn't so bad really... Usually... Sometimes.

[finburns]

You're not exactly filling me with confidence.

[borntobewildcat]

Okay, a lot of crazy stuff happens every ones in a while. Everybody grew beards one time.

But it's really not bad when zombies aren't running around the streets while everyone is five years old.

[finburns]

Beards don't sound too bad.
