As okay as I can be, stuck on a boat and not myself.

You doing all right in this craziness?

[seagullmun]

Yeah, I think I'll get by.

You sound nice. Who're you?

Voice

[myplacenthesun]

Good to hear!

I'm Tiana! I just got here myself, a little bit ago.

Re: Voice

[seagullmun]

Tiana? Cool name. I'm Lenny. That's pretty cool too, don'tcha think?

I've been here a long time. Yeah, I'm a staple here.

[preen~]

Voice

[myplacenthesun]

It's a very good name! I like it.

Yeah? Guess you must be used to all this weird stuff happening, then.

[seagullmun]

Uh, heh, well... you never get used to some of it. The really weird stuff, you know. Like goo monsters and zombies and stuff like that. Robots too!

Voice

[myplacenthesun]

I don't blame y'all there. I don't think anyone'd ever get used to goo monsters and zombies.

[seagullmun]

[No tag for a moment. Lenny's nodding to himself in approval.]

I like you. You're friendly. And your voice has this twangy thing going on. You're all, "y'all!" How cool is that?

Voice

[myplacenthesun]

[Happy giggle.]

Well, thank you, Lenny! It's not very special where I'm from, so it's nice to hear it's cool!

And I like you, too!

[seagullmun]

[Lenny feels pretty smooth right now.]

So what's your thing? Everyone's got a thing. You into, uh... I dunno, the Ramones?

No idea why you would be.

Voice

[myplacenthesun]

[He should! Tiana thinks he's cute!]

The Ramones? Can't say I've heard of them.

I like to cook, though! Does that count as a thing?

[seagullmun]

That totally does! It's much better than the Ramones.

[Lenny's an eater, Tiana. You've just caught his interest.]

What sorta things do you cook? Just the good stuff, I hope.

[He'd eat the bad stuff too.]

[myplacenthesun]

Jumbalaya, beignets, gumbo, etoufee, all sorts of things!

I'd be happy to cook you up something, once I get the hang of things 'round here.

[seagullmun]

I have no idea what any of those are. They don't have chives, do they? Aren't chives just chopped up grass? Eh, who am I kiddin'? I'd eat it anyway.

I'd say you should use the kitchen in Sergei's but Zeke doesn't like me too much, so I couldn't go. Look out for that guy, by the way. he's a jerk.

[myplacenthesun]

I don't think they're very common around here! I've met a few people who haven't heard of 'em. Chives are a kind of onion! And nah, most of those don't have them.

He is? I ain't met him at all, only talked to Herz. I'll find another kitchen to use, though. Or I'll just bring whatever I make to ya, so y'all don't have to go in there.

[seagullmun]

Herz is great. Say hi for me!

You'll bring it to me? That's--

[Lenny thinks back a month, to him lying under the covers as a scary girl-thief hunts him down. No good.]

--That's okay, really! you don't have to do that!
