A: Williams Road Roxanne never felt comfortable sleeping with Enkidu. She bedded down on the couch more often than not when she could, or just fell asleep in a chair, or-- simply never made it to bed for any number of reasons. She'd been alone all these years, and she was comfortable that way. But when she feels a draft-- because a wall is no

Williams Road

[[He's also on Williams road.

Stopping by her, raising his hands to show he's safe. That he isn't here to hurt anyone.]]

Are you okay, did you get hurt in... in whatever happened?

[[Trying hard not to shake. The town, it's all gone.]]

[pluckyreporter]

No. No, I was asleep.

I was...

[Can she still be asleep? She'd rather be asleep and this be a terrible dream, even for Mayfield.]

[pants_yourmove]

And it happened overnight.

[[She's not taking it well, Aaron takes a deep breath. He's not going to find support here.]]

Look, whatever they did, it's not going to get better before it gets worse. We won't know how long they are going to keep this up. Do you have food in your basement?

[pluckyreporter]

[Worse, she's been here less than a month. This is pretty insane and she doesn't have months or years of Mayfield living to keep her grounded.]

Ah. Yes. Some -- lots of ... dog and cat foot, but I guess that's not going to matter. They call us 'pet house'. Enkidu-- took care of animals.

[pants_yourmove]

I'm sorry to hear.

It may all fix itself, eventually. But until then we have to survive... I am not sure how permanent this is.

[pluckyreporter]

Fix itself? Seriously? Fix itself?

[Well, it did just END itself overnight, so... maybe.]

This place is insane.

[pants_yourmove]

It does that sometimes.

It might change back. They seem to like playing with us and they seem to like new things.

[[It is pretty terrible. He won't even try to argue that.]]

You're right, this place is insane. But there are some of us who try to help each other.

[pluckyreporter]

Good thing, or...

[They'd all be dead long before now.]

I've-- I got to find my friend.

[pants_yourmove]

Where does your friend live?

It might be destroyed, but I know the layout of the town pretty well.

[pluckyreporter]

Mitchell Street. I know how to get there.

[pants_yourmove]

Good, do you need any help?

I haven't seen anything bad roaming around, though that doesn't mean there isn't something out there.

[pluckyreporter]

No.

I-- I'll take my chances.

[For all she knows, Aaron is a danger.]

[pants_yourmove]

Okay then.

[[He's concerned but he does have people to check on too.]]

If you do run into trouble here, don't fight it. Hide. This town doesn't like giving us a real chance.

[[He really was out of good advice, this was a terrible situation and it was new.]]

Good luck.

[[He's going to head out then, moving past and only checking back once. Waiting until he is out of sight to begin panicking again.]]
