It's so cold. And the thing about cold is that you never get used to it. Not after hours. Not after years. The cold would have gotten you before the hunger did, if this place wasn't what it is. If you weren't what you are. If you could die.

There is a loud thud to your left. You look up, but dully, because you already know what it signifies. Another ( Read more... )

[Someone is on his back in the snow, ice settling in his hair.]

You know, I rather think I've missed snow. There was a lot of snow in one of the worlds I've been to, but with one thing and another, I never really got to enjoy it. Such a shame, too.

[The feed starts with a view of yet another basket. It is mostly occupied with a quite frankly alarming amount of alcohol, but there is food as well.  Mostly in jars.

That was.... strange!  These little doll things.  Strange strange strange indeed.

[A pause of thought, before he continues]

I almost caught one - took my jacket - but I only tagged the end on my coat and saved it.  Little thing got away.  Not that it matters, I suppose - I hear everyone's stuff is returning.  Weird, hmm?  Why take it in the first ( Read more... )

Good evening!

I saw a post on the bulletin board earlier as I was walking past about positions at the Casino.  I realize... I have not much time left in my residence, and as such, would ( Read more... )
