Can't say I've been here all that long, so I don't know 'bout the everywhere, bit, but I just go an' keep it tucked in a pocket. Easy enough. [coveralls were good for things like that]

Kayleeeee *A*

[impulsities]

I guess! But it's kind of bulky isn't it? It'd always be poking me in the butt.

:D

[onemanshort]

[a laugh] That ain't nothin' to fix. Just go and get bigger pockets.

[impulsities]

You think so? Man you make it sound so simple.

[onemanshort]

Well, ya know... there're plenty of things that are complicated enough, without you needin' t' go and muck 'em up some more. Somethin' like this? It ain't so hard to fix. [of course, she's not really picturing spandex or anything... so there's that]

[impulsities]

[ laughs ] Yeah, I get that! It's the simple stuff I tend to look over a lot!

[ he debated mentioning spandex but she seems like a nice girl ]

[onemanshort]

Ain't always easy to see, considerin' most things ain't exactly simple-like to start with.

I'm Kaylee, by the by.

[impulsities]

Guess so! Thinking too hard hurts my brain anyway.

Hi, I'm Bart! [ pause ] Kaylee? According to this book, we used to be friends! But I guess we both forgot since we left the castle.

[onemanshort]

[a laugh] Ai ya, but I know the feelin', sometimes.

[slightly startled. This is the first time someone's told her she's been here before]

Dung ee-miao. We were? I mean... well, that's a strange thing t' go an' forget.

[impulsities]

[ he's read the whole book...several times. he gets that a lot ]

I guess! I brought you music a lot. And you made me cupcakes. Also I taught you a little something about 21st century video games. They're something, let me tell you.

Oh but I guess no one's told you before, huh? Once this place kicks you out, you forget about everything. Just... it really likes some people -- like you and me! -- and keeps bringing them back to have to start all over again.

[onemanshort]

Games from Earth that Was? [hear that fascination?] They've got those here?

I guess it'd been mentioned, but I hadn't really gone and thought through the whole forgettin' people bit. But... you don't remember either? You read it all?

[she was going to have to go back and do a bit of research herself]

[impulsities]

[ small laugh ] Yep! They've got all kinds here.

It's kind of weird. But yeah, I only know things from reading this book. I'm a pretty fast reader.

[onemanshort]

Tsai boo shr, you don't say...

[a smile] Well, I guess if we was friends before, no harm in starting over.

[impulsities]

Uh-huh! Give it a try!

Cool, I'd be alright with that!

[onemanshort]

Then it's a deal.

Ya know... maybe I'll give that pool a bit of a try. Ain't done that in ages.
