Really.

[She's hung up on the name, actually. Or rather, her former name.]

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 06:56:34 UTC

Yes. Really. I don't eat very much, and some of it is going to go bad. Would rather not waste it if there's a shortage.

theotokos February 28 2011, 06:58:57 UTC

[Lady was so focused on cringing at the name "Mary", she didn't notice that.]

Your loss, I guess. But there are people out there hunting, too.

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 07:01:00 UTC

I'm just trying to help.

If you're not hungry, then that's fine. If you are, you can come here.

[Ethan is a little weirded out by this guy, but nevertheless....]

I can try to help out with the basement. We don't have all the supplies necessary to prevent every leak but I'll do what I can.

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 07:08:43 UTC

I would appreciate that. Very much. I'm not very good at these things.

ethanmaaars February 28 2011, 07:25:18 UTC

Not a problem. I'll be over as soon as I can. Black-Eyed Susan Drive, you said?

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 07:34:03 UTC

That's right. House number 123.

I will be on the front step.

[Despite everything else in the call, it's one of the more innocuous statements that catches Alfred's attention.]

You say you live at a... Black-Eyed Susan Drive?

[Food rationing, flooding, weather fluctuations, people disappearing and appearing at random, from other worlds nonetheless, none of that seemed to bother him at all. It was the unfamiliar street that caused him worry.]

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 07:57:43 UTC

[Of course, Mary is oblivious to said worry.]

...Yes. That's the address of the house I found, anyway.

berceusedefou February 28 2011, 08:05:47 UTC

[Which is really best for everyone, since he'd just vehemently deny any worry.]

So I see.

[There's a small pause as he ponders this. It was quite pondersome, indeed.]

And you arrived yesterday, Lightly?

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 08:08:43 UTC

[There's another small pause as his last name is used instead of his first.]

Mary is fine. And yes, I did. I woke up on the street yesterday afternoon.

Don't need food. Basement...not handy. But can try.

yesthatsmyname February 28 2011, 20:02:30 UTC

[There's a pause. A non-English speaker?]

If you would like to come help, I would appreciate it. Are you sure you are all right for food? [He says all this slowly - he already speaks in a monotone, so he's easy enough to hear.]

lilbloodeyes February 28 2011, 20:17:49 UTC

Hnn...

Yes, food is fine. I am strong. I can carry out water.
[The courtesy seems to go right over her head. At least she's offering to help.]

yesthatsmyname March 1 2011, 09:46:33 UTC

If you would like to help, I would appreciate it. Many hands make smaller work, as they say.

You got any extra food still? I can work on that basement, I managed to keep mine under control.

[Living in a crappy motel room for a few years and doing odd jobs all the time keeps you prepared for stuff like that.]

yesthatsmyname March 2 2011, 09:41:28 UTC

[Wow! Lots of helpful people! This was...a switch, but a nice switch.]

I still have extra food, yes. I've got a couple of people already offering to help me with the basement, but the more the merrier. Either way, you are welcome.

justhitjackpot March 5 2011, 06:45:37 UTC

[Pfff. Helpful. Travis just wants food.]

Thanks, man.

yesthatsmyname March 7 2011, 07:56:22 UTC

Of course. Feel free at any time.
