[Jim is waking up, finally. He'd gone up as the night wore on, and was laying out on a ledge just wide enough to hold him, and a good distance off the ground. He lifts his head groggily and starts to roll over before realizing where he is and clutching back on the wall.]

So. Not a dream. Good to know.

[chillin' out on the roof

above you]

Whoa, careful there! It'd be a shame to survive a night like that one only to die from an accident.

[headthataway]

[Jumps again, staring up]

How'd you get up there, huh?

[keeps_strange]

Climbed!

[such a cheerful derp he is.]

[headthataway]

...Right. How's the weather up there, then?

[keeps_strange]

Mmm, not too bad. I can't see any more of the night-horrors about, either, so that's a bonus!

[Sends a squint down Kirk's way]

Don't suppose you saw anything like food around the place, did you?

[headthataway]

Yeah, I think they're in bed, too.

I haven't see any food yet. Might be some somewhere.

[keeps_strange]

Here's hoping they hibernate for a while, huh?

[Starts to clamber down from his perch]

I guess that means I should start looking for it. Food tends to be shy about finding me first, I've noticed.

[headthataway]

My bet is at least until night falls.

Food's not very outgoing in general.

[keeps_strange]

Mmm.

Right? It likes to pretend that it wants a long courtship first, or something.

[headthataway]

You have to woo it, that's the problem.

[keeps_strange]

[Raki shakes his head sadly.]

It's like the food doesn't trust my intentions or something...

[headthataway]

It's finicky. And there's always a buffet somewhere with a shotgun in case anything goes awry.

[keeps_strange]

It's not like I've ever treated it bad, either. I think someone's just spreading a bad rap about me.

[headthataway]

Bad reputations can attract 'em, too, though.

[keeps_strange]

Really? I've never noticed that...maybe I oughta try it out sometime.

[headthataway]

Gotta have the right amount of flair.
