To say I'm grateful for what everybody did during the weekend's curse would be an understatement. I'm pretty sure only thanks to all of you I still have some blueprints intact.

( Private to Ken )

other people, not in dc anymore, not in college anymore, anthony is a mechanic, anthony is anthony

BLUEPRINTS?

text; coffeenspeed October 20 2010, 16:42:55 UTC

Yeah. I'm a mechanic, I build and design stuff for people in the City.

CARS.
BIKES.

INDUSTRIAL LOOMS?

text; coffeenspeed October 20 2010, 16:51:03 UTC

Cars, bikes, boats, planes. Vehicles in general. Though smaler machines like coffeemachines or clocks I can do too.

I don't think we've met... I'm Anthony.

[ The video clicks on to reveal a teenage boy -- looking a little on the youngish side in a sweatshirt two sizes too large. He's got bleach blonde hair going ginger at the roots and metal in his face. He gives the camera an awkward wave and a timid smile; then he points to himself and then says in a quiet voice: ]

Mouse. [ Then a moment later, adds: ] New.

[Anthony smiles a friendly smile and waves back. He's older than Mouse, looks maybe twenty]

Nice to meet you Mouse. When did you arrive?

[ That tentative smile grows a little more certain. Yeah, it was nice to meet Anthony too. Crinkling his nose, Mouse looks down at his hands and counts on his fingers before holding up three -- one for each day. He then waggles his head noncommittally to indicate more or less. ]

[Anthony nods at that]

Well, if you need anything, you can ask. I've been here over a year, on and off.

[ Mouse's reaction seems to be mixed at Anthony's response. Everyone here (at least so far) seemed to be so damn nice -- which for a needy kid like Mouse was more than fine by him. But still 'over year' threw him for a loop. It seemed like such a very long time.

Mouse nods, thankfully. ]

LONG TIME.
LIKE IT HERE?

text; coffeenspeed October 20 2010, 17:39:02 UTC

It's okay, I guess. It doesn't hurt that when you go home, you go back to the exact moment when you left in the first place...

text; habitformed October 20 2010, 17:40:47 UTC

BUT U CAME BACK?

text; coffeenspeed October 20 2010, 17:50:39 UTC

Not really. The City pulled me back, didn't really ask for my opionion.

text; habitformed October 20 2010, 17:52:20 UTC

BACK HOME.
MECHANIC 2?

text; coffeenspeed October 20 2010, 17:55:04 UTC

Nah. I'm still in college there. Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

What about you?

text; habitformed October 20 2010, 18:00:22 UTC

LIVE IN THE DESERT.
ABANDONNED MOTEL W. FRIENDS.

UNLICENSED.
KEEP OUR HEADS DOWN.
BLOW SHIT UP SOMETIMES.
IF BORED.

NO SCHOOL.
