[Let's not even acknowledge the frustration he felt when realization set in -- again -- that he wasn't where he was supposed to be. Been there, done that. Good thing he recognized the Forge, remembered that the thing functioned much like any other of the fancy gadgets T-Mobile was hocking these days, and... yeah. also remembered that the immediate

O-oh... hey! [that was fast] Yeah! It was called the Foxhole, I think. My boss was this [hot] blonde woman. Can't remember her name for the life of me, though. You know the Fox?

[-- and if they're hiring? Hopefully. Though he's confidant that there's plenty to do around here on a slim penny, it really would be nice to settle somewhere and get back into some kind of familiar routine.

If not, there's always the brothel. Some places like that do Freebie Fridays?]

Glad things aren't as batshit as they were last time I showed up. You been here long, uh... [whoeveryouare]?

[soldiersblade]

Well, in the matters I'm used to, it's been the same world but at different times, through different lives. [a thought] Or I guess, still sorta my life... but not... like...

[... how the hell did Shaun put it? Whatever. Chick's creepy, don't look stupid.]

Regardless, yeah. And I've been to this one before, so I guess it ain't that bad.

I'm Desmond.

[soldiersblade]

I remember I left pretty suddenly. No time to plan, no time to say goodbye. I guess that if leaving here is somethin' you want, you can either drive yourself batshit with the fact that there isn't a way to do it yourself, or find happy solace in the fact that your world could suck you back any time it wants.

[also, is that name German? Or just really cool? Either/or.]

Nice t'meet you. That's... quite the handle you got there.

Uh, well, there was a big attack a few weeks back, so you might be running into some pretty ruined stuff. Can't tell you much else, I'm sort of new myself. And there's that whole killer Mist thing too, but it sounds like you already know that.

[video]

[soldiersblade]

Too bad there wasn't more ruined stuff. Some parts of this place could really use an overhaul anyway.

And yeah-- [snicker] -- I remember the Mist. Either makes everyone loopy, or kills 'em completely. Love it here.

[allthetreasures]

Hey, you wanna put us guys outta business? I dig through ruins for a living.

[Nate shrugs.]

At least you missed the zombies and the killer elves.

[video]

[soldiersblade]

... you can make a living off that? Digging through crap? [...] Shit, are you hiring?

[Albeit, the money would have to be damn good to overshadow the tips he brings in at the bar. Granted, said bars were a good dimension away, or two.]

Eh, I was here for ogres and trolls. Gotta say, though, I sorta regret missing out on the zombies.

[ilmentore]

[ oh. you again, eh. ]

Not yet, signor Miles.

[ why is he talking to you again... ]

[soldiersblade]

[idk cuz he misses looking like his younger self? baha!]

[ilmentore]

Recently returned, much like yourself.

[ man, you're a chatty bitch. ]

you've been here before?

audio

[soldiersblade]

Yep. Low on sanity, high on health benefits... y'know, cuz you just come back when you die, anyway.

[fuck you for making him read]

[mercuryloaded]

[ AT LEAST IT'S NOT SMALL TEXT YOU WHINER ]

you come back when you die? what, you come back here?

audio

[soldiersblade]

Yeah, usually. I guess some people end up back home, but it seems pretty random. When people come back from being dead, they're usually a little effed up. So much fun.

[oh, eye roll]

So, you're new, I'm guessing. I'm Des.
