[only hollow sounds at first - wind through a building and the faded drip-drip-drip of leaking water. Then there's the shift of fabric, of boots repositioning on dirty concrete]

[and, soft and dull, the sound of popping and chewing]

...Are there places to go in this city, when it becomes cold?

I wish I could say, but I'm new here, too. Do you not have anywhere to stay?

[audio forever]

[eyesmiles]

Oh, there's always somewhere. But they don't always have heating.

[shi_swoon]

So why haven't you gotten a job for rent money?

[eyesmiles]

...I already have a job.

[no_violinist]

Like, a cafe?

[eyesmiles]

Like a home.

[no_violinist]

Did you get kicked out of the temporary apartments?

I'm sure there's a shelter around, but until you find a place you could stay on our couch a night or two!

[eyesmiles]

A while ago, yes.

[pop, chew, chew...]

..."Our"?

[persimmonsplz]

Uh oh. Looks like someone didn't plan ahead~

voice;

[eyesmiles]

Guilty.

[persimmonsplz]

You could, theoretically, hang around that mall underground. People might take notice, though, an' that'd be weird~

voice;

[eyesmiles]

They might even stare.

[cowboy_newsie]

Inside.

[eyesmiles]

It doesn't help when the inside's cold.

[cowboy_newsie]

Drag a trash can in and start a fire in it.

[eyesmiles]

...Oh, that's an idea.

[eyesmiles]

Mm, I think I could manage to hold that off. But I would rather not be crowded.

[eyesmiles]

[a low laugh]

So curious. But yes, I eat. [although it's not really required]
