[phone call to everyone; day 46]

[killedthepast]

[Garcian Smith's house is just as victim to the flooding as anyone else's, and it's evident even over the phone. The faint hiss of running water is audible in the background of this call, accompanied by a persistent dripping.]

"As water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy man's hope." Funny how all this is making

To hell with that. Get some swim shorts, chief. Cuz shit ain't going down anytime soon.

[killedthepast]

I'd rather not go for a swim.

[He'll mess up his suit.]

[straightupchief]

Who says 'rather' comes into it? Not gonna be up to you, soon enough.

[killedthepast]

We'll see about that.

[shyeyed]

Um. There's some talk on the blogs to move towards the light house.

[killedthepast]

So I read. I may come along after all.

[shyeyed]

It might be for the best. I can hear the walls creaking. Who knows how much longer it'll hold.

Do you need any food?

[killedthepast]

Mm. I'm concerned about that as well.

No, but thanks.

[castoredux]

Is there higher ground around here?

[killedthepast]

The forests, maybe.

[castoredux]

Maybe? Nobody's checked it out?

[killedthepast]

To my knowledge, no. Though I do know that there is at least one person residing in the woods.

[bipolarhellion]

No shit, what gave you that brilliant idea?

[killedthepast]

The fact that water's pouring from my walls.

[bipolarhellion]

Yeah, so, what're you planning?

[killedthepast]

...I don't know.

[leigheas]

Do you need any help?

[killedthepast]

I appreciate it, but I don't know how much we can do with the houses in this condition.

[leigheas]

I know. But with food... anything. I would be happy to help.

[killedthepast]

I'm all right. I have enough food, and the house is dry enough.

You'd be best served helping those who needed it more than I.
