[York's been...well, depressed lately. Maybe that's why he's feeling talkative when he notices the date and dictates to the journal.]

Earth Day...I miss Earth, you know? Not just the maybe-Earth we saw in LA--I miss that, too--but my Earth. Last bastion of the human race, headquarters of the UNSC. Last I heard, the Covenant found it and half

Where you buying? [since monster eat most of the people back home ):]

[imnotjenkins]

Dead...?

[encryptedlock]

FIrst thing anyone from home says when they see me is "Hey, you're not dead?"

[imnotjenkins]

....Pleasant. Long story?

[encryptedlock]

Not really. Was going into a firefight when I got here. Guess I never made it out.

[imnotjenkins]

Never thought I'd call myself "lucky". [since things were much easier for him ): he just fell asleep and woke up here]

[encryptedlock]

There's all kinds of luck. Way I look at it, at least I got an extra year here.

[imnotjenkins]

You've been here that long?

[encryptedlock]

Since the beginning of last March, yeah.

[imnotjenkins]

...That sucks. Not that the alternative is any better I guess, but still.

[encryptedlock]

That about sums it up, yeah.

Still. Gotta try and look on the bright side, right?

[imnotjenkins]

I guess... In some ways this world isn't completely horrible. It's kind of handy having a fully-stocked castle all the time.

[encryptedlock]

Oh, I've been stuck in worse places. It's just a damn long time to be in this one.

[imnotjenkins]

Yeah I bet. You're holding up really well.

[encryptedlock]

[He snorts and gets a refill.]

Yeah, that's why I spend so much time cooped up in my room.

[imnotjenkins]

That's what I've been doing.
