[Julie looks tired, and grouchy, and she sounds grouchy too.]

So, is this normal? I mean, it's not normal, obviously, but should I be expecting more of this crap while I'm stuck here?

[She rubs under one of her eyes, where lack of sleep is already making shadows.]

Give me a zombie apocalypse any day.

If someone sent a person to look for you, I bet they'd be a bit more subtle than sending someone who looks just like you.

[I mean, that feels logical to her. If you're trying to hunt someone down, you don't do things that will draw attention.]

[ she scowls but knows that it’s a good point. Cashmere huffs. ]

That’s what they’d want me to think!

[ she still feels tense and kinda weirded out. for her own sanity, she is going to try and let that go. ] But I guess if you were going to do anything you’d have done it already.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Maybe that's what they want you to think.

[Her eyebrows go up. It's probably too early to be making jokes like that, but she couldn't help herself.]

But, really, being out to get anyone is the last thing on my mind.

[64th]

[ she mirrors the raised eyebrows and laughs. okay, Julie. she thinks she might grow to like you. ]

Busy with the nightmare turned reality that your life has become? Me too.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, something like that.

[There's an easy camaraderie here, even with the strangeness of looking at a girl identical to herself. She feels like she could get to like Cashmere too.

Then, with forced joviality--] It's one hell of a crash course on the weirdness of this place, though!

[64th]

It really is.

How are you settling in otherwise? Do you have everything you need?

[redwinekindofgirl]

[A nod.]

I think so. Don't eat the meat, right?

[64th]

Exactly. [ she nods. ] Better safe than sorry.

Who told you about the meat uh - situation?

[redwinekindofgirl]

I read the guide.

[You know, the one on the phone...]

Do people not usually do that?

[64th]

[ she laughs. ] I forgot about that. Some do, some don't. It didn't exist when I got here.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I think 'the meat might be people' is a great selling point to get people to read the rest of it.

[She purses her lips for a moment.]

You know, just a thought.

[64th]

Maybe we should suggest for that to be moved to the very top. In all capital letters, of course.

[redwinekindofgirl]

You should pitch it. You've been here longer. Imagine not knowing that the meat could be people.

[Shudder.]
