WHAT In person or texting, I don't know, I'm not your boss
WHERE Wherever you'd be at night
WHEN Day 1, night
NOTES aj said i was allowed to make a new post

[So, you've survived your first—or fiftieth, or five-hundredth—day in Quiet Mounds. Tonight, it's raining—or, it's not. Maybe you're trying to get used to your new, quiet apartment. The electricity is buzzing in that way that's hard to ignore, a silence so loud it's deafening, in that poetic sort of way.]

[Or maybe you're one of the sad sacks still working at the 24/7 joints. Or their why-am-I-even-up-this-late customers. You're the reason why capitalism does this to people, you know.]

Umbrellas shouldn't go around being ominous!

[mindinthegittern]

Even if they'd been doing it by looming ominously or rustling in the wind, I'd have accepted it!

[cinnaponroll]

And they got kinda personal a few times. Pretty rude.

[mindinthegittern]

Quite! I think I'd rather get wet.

[cinnaponroll]

Yeah... eh, the rain's all right in the end.

[mindinthegittern]

At least it keeps its opinions to itself!

[cinnaponroll]

[looking up to the rain, catching a few drops in a raised palm]

Right!

[mindinthegittern]

I hope something more pleasant happened to you today than chatty umbrellas and rough weather, though.

[cinnaponroll]

Well, someone treated me to lunch so it was a decent day. And you?

[mindinthegittern]

Well—a couple of people I know are here, so there's that!

[cinnaponroll]

Oh! Friends from home?

[mindinthegittern]

...yeah. Yes. Friends. One of them is probably my best friend, really. We were boys together.

[cinnaponroll]

[smiles]

I'm sorry you're both stuck here, but I'm glad you're not alone.

[mindinthegittern]

It makes a big difference.

[cinnaponroll]

Especially if the city's nothing like your world. Are you all doing okay?

[mindinthegittern]

We're adaptable sorts!

[that's not an answer medren]

[cinnaponroll]

[no it's not]

It's a lot to get used to.

[mindinthegittern]

Yeah, it is.

[cinnaponroll]

[it's going to take time...]

...Wanna head somewhere to dry off?

[mindinthegittern]

Absolutely. I'm not a brooding in the rain type!

...sorry. It's... complicated for them. I worry.

[cinnaponroll]

Complicated, huh...?

[looks left and right down the road as he tries to remember what was nearby]

But you're doing your best to help them, right?

[mindinthegittern]

Of course I am.

[following along]

[cinnaponroll]

What's important right now is they know someone's in their corner and watching out for them.

[heading towards Heavenly Grounds]

[mindinthegittern]

It can't hurt, anyway. You're good company! Very encouraging.

[cinnaponroll]

Hah, is that so?

If you need a hand with anything too, let me know?
