Alright. I think maybe I've wrapped my mind around all this now. It feels kind of stupid to tell this to a book. Its just like starting over. Except with out all the baggage. I guess that's alright. I mean, it could be worse, I guess I could remember what I'm missing.

Guess it doesn't help that I wish I could remember what I'm missing

HAY BRO~

[ziongaiv]

[Give him a minute. He missed the memo about the book talking back. He was all naked, freezing and covered in goo]

Yeah. It- kinda sucked. They gave me clothes but not like it helps with how cold it is. I don't think where I am has heat...

So. Weird question. Do you have a name?

SUP.

[unevoked]

[Way to go, man.]

Rinse the goop off and find yourself some blankets. Couple places've opened up for people, but they're a bit far to skate.

...The hell makes that a weird question? 'Course I do.

[ziongaiv]

I've pretty much done what I can at this point. Its just, really cold. I don't want to stay here if I can't help it. I'd rather risk going outside if it means being warmer. I just get here and I'm stuck in one place and I can't ask questions and its ridiculous.

Well. I didn't know if you were just [pen tap] the book or, something else...

[unevoked]

Then find a place to go. Wouldn't recommend going out without a plan, though.

They didn't explain shit to you, did they. Name's Castor. All the journals hivemind, we all got them. There you go.

PINGU (already lolz)

[ziongaiv]

That's the problem. I can't stay here btu I don't know where to go. I guess I might be stuck after all.

They might have, I just- wasn't really ready to listen.

Castor? That's weird. I'm Pollux.

it was inevitable.

[unevoked]

It's been like five minutes. If you bitch long enough someone'll come get you.

[Pause. pentap.] Well fuck.

[ziongaiv]

I wasn't bitching. I was just saying.

[Pause] Yeah.

[unevoked]

Whatever, don't matter to me. Closest places'll be in Section 4, but you gotta ask before you just barge over there.

Got a reason?

[ziongaiv]

I don't even know where that is...

For my name?

[unevoked]

You got a map?

The hell else would I be asking for? Yeah.

[ziongaiv]

Maybe. I don't know, I haven't really gone through my things yet.

I don't know, sorry. [pause] Its [pause again] going to sound really stupid.

[unevoked]

[Pause.] Relax, okay? You probably got one somewhere.

Most shit here does, don't worry 'bout it so much. [A pen tap.] Can't be any crazier than the giant fish man who stops by the butchers all the time.

[ziongaiv]

Yeah. I'll look around.

I don't know. It might be. [another, rather lengthy pause] It was part of a name I heard before I shot myself. In my dream.

[unevoked]

Right. The storm hit a day or two ago, so people are opening their houses and shit.

[Goddamnit, why u do dis.] ...You said you're in temp housing, right? [It is fucking COLD, he does not want to go outside. Damn it. He is going to bitch if he has to go out there.] You think you can skate okay?

[ziongaiv]

That's nice of them...

[Cause they're bros and they don't know it.] Yeah, why? Sure I can probably skate. Its better than staying here.

[unevoked]

Better than dealing with more dead people. Think we're all sick've that after last weekend.

[Fucking hell. ONLY BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED SHOOTING IN THE FACE.] You can crash on my floor. Gimme a bit to get up there. I live a bit away.
