All this talk about rivers and shit... Almost makes me wish I hadn't gotten involved in the first place, but I guess it's too late for that, huh? It's like something out of a bad horror movie. What was that one with the creepy dead chick, a movie, and a well? Yeah. Kinda reminds me of that.

Where is this?

[The feed opens on Riful, but for once, she doesn't look nearly as composed as she normally does. That ever-present, unnerving smile? Gone. Poise? Completely absent.

...I knew I avoided all that stupid relationship shit for a reason.

[A pause. He isn't sure what else to say, really]At least all this excavation stuff gives me something to do. Wish the guy wasn't so anal about things not getting broken or damaged though, and that the shit didn't wanna move itself back later. Moving stuff that moved back after ( Read more... )

I've gotten used to how bad people can be here, but you'd think someone could at least watch where they're going when they're walking down a crowded street.

It wasn't just me he was rude to, either. I saw him glaring at a few of the locals too. I have no idea what his problem was.
