Day 39 || call to everyone, backdated to a little earlier

[regdloading]

Goddamn, it's cold! This shit's worse than teaching health class!

Roll call, now. Everyone inside and in one piece? Zoey--you better sound off, girl. [There's some hesitance to his tone, because he already knows about everyone going off and getting themselves missing.]

I don't believe anyone died.

[regdloading]

For once in my life? Good.

[mongreldog]

You're normally happy someone dies?

[regdloading]

Hell no, that came out wrong. I meant nobody's dead FOR once 'n my life.

[mongreldog]

You must live one hell of a life.

But yes, it's good that no one appears to have died.

[regdloading]

S'a long damn story, man.

Yeah, yeah... how you holdin' up?

[mongreldog]

Some other time, then.

As well as can be expected. I much prefer taking clothes off to putting them on, though. [Take that as you will, Coach.] And you?

[regdloading]

Something tells me I don't wanna hear it. [pause.] Holdin' on, mostly. But alright.

[mongreldog]

I'm only teasing.

You have enough blankets?

[regdloading]

I hope so. I ain't exactly a lumberjack, so I don't got much firewood. Didn't really think about it, either... shit.

[mongreldog]

I don't think anyone expected this. You're hardly alone.

[regdloading]

Nn, yeah. I'm usually the one that's prepared 'n shit, though. Guess I ain't been thinkin' straight since showin' up here.

[mongreldog]

It's easy to forget when everything is done for you. You just get used to it. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

[regdloading]

Good point. Thanks, man.

[mongreldog]

I aim to please.
