3rd Leap | This isn't my house.

[A → Phone; Late Morning/Early Afternoon][Guess who's back? And terribly lost and confused. Not the fact that he's here again. More like the fact that everything seemed to have change as far as where he lived, his fake family, and the date goes

You're alive! [ Not the same as "you're back"... ]

~<3 Heyyyyy <3!!!

[notasidedick]

Yeah, I'm-you can say that. [Hey. Alive is pretty good.] I guess I got permanently droned, but came back. Did I get replaced with anyone? [Is he going to run into a creepy drone him? Awkward.]

[notsogreatwall]

I thought for sure what I did the day before changed you somehow, since you showed back up looking completely different. [ A pause. ] Erm, I mean, your drone looked different. [ Then again, anything was different from being a bloody smear on the wall. Good thing he's not around to see it! ]

[notasidedick]

Huh. I guess it changed after I came here. I guess it's better then seeing yourself as a drone. [So awkward.] I get it, don't worry. [That would be hard to explain wouldn't it. Good thing he probably won't see it. Ever.]

[notsogreatwall]

It must have! We have a new non-drone boy in the house, and I guess the name changed because of him, too. Our mailbox says "the Frogs" now, which is kind of funny.

Where did they move you to, now?

[notasidedick]

Is that so? Has he been good since he's arrived. The Frogs? I guess it is kind of funny. It's not a last name I usually hear.

I'm in 630 Topper Street. Unfortunately, none of the people in my house are non-drones. Waking up to my 'wife' is going to be a little awkward.

[notsogreatwall]

Confused, but that's not new. [ Humored. ] It's almost close to my own, but "Frog Meiling" doesn't have the same ring to it!

A house full of drones? Wow... that has to be weird.

[notasidedick]

I guess last names change often if the male units keep getting replaced. Frog Meiling sounds like a type of frog. No offense.

It's going to be an awkward first few days.

[notsogreatwall]

None taken! [ She even laughs a bit. ]

Probably more awkward than the first time you arrived, huh?

[notasidedick]

At least the first time, I woke up to someone who wasn't a drone. [He laughs a bit.] You're much more enjoyable to wake up to at the very least.

[notsogreatwall]

It's nice of you to say that, even after I almost threw you out of the window. [ Something she didn't say at the time, but had thought. Oops! ]

[notasidedick]

Well...I'm glad you didn't throw me out the window. I mean, I don't think it would kill me, but that isn't something I usually wake up to. [WELP.]

[notsogreatwall]

It always amazes me what humans can live through. [ Casually. Though her concern is evident in her follow-up. ] ...this place tests that way too often.

You probably missed the zombies, right?

[notasidedick]

Yeah. Although, they treat death here so lightly. Taking us back as though it were nothing more then a video game.

I did. But I heard about it. I'm not sure if it's unfortunate or not that I did.

[notsogreatwall]

[ Now see, she had something serious to say here, but he had to go and say something she couldn't parse. ] --what's a "video game"?

WELP

[notasidedick]

Huh? That's a little hard to describe. I can give you the book definition.

A game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or display.

I don't know if that helps though.
