Three Stars

Been fixing up this farmhouse out here a little. It's really pretty; whoever all had it last did a good job with upkeep. It must have meant a lot, I guess. Thinking about setting up some rooms for...I don't know, maybe bed and breakfast type deals or some kind of a hostel for newcomers until they're on their feet. I was just lucky enough to have

You should make a haunted corn field.

[yourantilex]

That is a GREAT idea! I should!

Except I need to figure out how to...make it haunted.

[adamantined]

You just need to get a couple guys to run around with chainsaws and scream.

[yourantilex]

...where am I gonna get those?

I wish Chloe was here sometimes.

[adamantined]

A hardware store?

Does she have chainsaws?

[yourantilex]

...I guess you probably could. Still, playing with chainsaws...probably not a good idea. Probably a good way to get yourself KILLED.

No, but she's brilliant. If there's a way to hire chainsaw guys, she can probably find it on the internet and have them booked in four hours.

[adamantined]

I think you take the... saw... part... off?

You could probably post it to the network here and have it booked in five minutes.

[yourantilex]

...you mean the chain?

See, you're brilliant too. You can be my new Chloe. Claire is like Chloe, and you're both blonde and interesting.

[adamantined]

I thought maybe it was the chain but the saw part of the word sounds more threatening. So I went with that.

I don't know about brilliant. I've just been here longer. But I can't complain about being your new Chloe. If Zach ever leaves, you can be him?

[yourantilex]

Well I mean, the chain IS the saw so I guess we're both right. I don't know what to call the other part; the mechanism and the two-stroke engine, maybe.

Saw works.

I think maybe we're better off just being Claire and Clark. I don't mind having a Claire at all.

[adamantined]

You couldn't take that out, though, then you wouldn't have much of a saw, even if it is just for looks.

I don't mind having a freaky mid-west twin named Clark.

[yourantilex]

The guys with saws are another thing entirely, but. I could use some help tomorrow or so, after I finish setting up the maze. Someone to help me make it...spookier.

You sure you should make jokes like that. I was adopted and I hear I've got some blonde relatives out there.

[adamantined]

I could help. If I'm not... engaged in dance or something.

I was adopted, too, you know. I think if I had to find out that I had a brother or a cousin or something out there... if it was you, it'd be cool.

[yourantilex]

I'm glad I'm not dancing. Or haven't...so far. I don't really think I'd be good at it, and I'm sort of too shy to want to try in the first place.

Huge...huge statistical big numbers and everything aside, I'd like it too, but I'm pretty sure you're safe. I kind of met a cousin of mine here already, and she's nothing like you.

[adamantined]

I bet you'd be a good dancer. You look like one of those guys who'd end up being good at it without trying.

That's... awkward. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[yourantilex]

I would step on somebody's feet and ruin their week.

Neutral thing. She's kind of...outgoing. You know. Outgoing. She has a...big personality.
