Hey, gang! Hope some of you didn't get maimed-slash-dismembered over the last couple weeks. [stated as breezily as ever, way to go lilith.]

Got a PSA for you all. I know alcohol sounds pretty great, especially after the wendigo crap, but don't drink the stuff in the restaurants without checking it first. I got lucky with the first one I tried-- sorta tasted like a fruit cocktail kind of thing-- but one time a bottle got knocked out of my hands and it dissolved through the floor. So, uh. Yeah.

Also, does anybody else have guns around here? Are you restocking your ammo at all or are you just... rationing it out? I've been trying to look around the armory but every weapon there's of the stabby variety. That's great and all, but you can't shoot swords out of a shotgun.

[... no one tell her.]

That's it for now. Lilith, out.

Not sure how much lower he can get. Bragging about a video game he made while people are eating each other? Kind of takes the cake.

[cashlin]

Famous last words buddy

[camouflage]

I'm really hoping this guy can't get any worse.

[cashlin]

well in all seriousness he probably wont. He works for a weapons dealer in my world but since Hyperion's not around the worst he'll do is get in the way I guess

[camouflage]

Eh, weapons dealers aren't that bad. Just shifty.

[cashlin]

oh he is shifty all right hes mostly just...... Jumpy
I have no idea why

[camouflage]

Guilty conscience syndrome. Bad thing for a weapons dealer to have.

[cashlin]

Ahhhh. makes sense.
back home even the nicest of em still sold to bandits

technically tho he just works for hyperion
less a dealer, more the guy who does the paperwork? i guess.

[camouflage]

Someone has to do the numbers. Who's Hyperion?

[cashlin]

one of the bigger weapon manufacturers around
(pretty good, side note, but i got a soft spot for Maliwans)
They make all sorts of stuff, basically whatever you could think of

[camouflage]

Never heard of Maliwans, either. Back home we've got Colt, Remington, Browning, and Smith & Wesson to name a few. Remington is probably my equivalent to your Hyperion.

[cashlin]

[Man, this alternate universe stuff is still pretty weird.]

hmmm

so which of em went for interplanetary travel first? For me it was Atlas.

[camouflage]

[....inter.....planetary??]

NASA just landed us on the moon about 15 years back. We haven't been any farther than that.

[cashlin]

[? ???? ???? ?? ? ??]

which moon??

[camouflage]

[...................]

The Moon. Earth's moon.

[cashlin]

Very funny but seriously. Theres no way you've only been to your OWN moon.

[camouflage]

Look I know we're all mixed up timelines, etc. It's 1984 where I'm from. The moon landing was in 1969. I listended to it on the radio.

[cashlin]

this is way weirder than the guy who's from 5 years in my future

there is no way you're 900

[camouflage]

[9.......00........ fuck he thought 50 was old!]

I look pretty good for my age, I guess.

[hello time-honored tradition of making light of an unsettling situation]

[cashlin]

[think again jack]

Can you at least digistruct things?? Omg you basically live in the dark ages, that’s awful

[lil is legitimately mortified? how do you even live]

[camouflage]

Nope. Whatever digistructing is.

[he asks himself that question a lot, actually.]

[cashlin]

Okay well. Digistructing is what it sounds like: digitally constructing. Say that I rented a car. If I can get to a station, I can have a replacement digistructed on the spot.

[camouflage]

Huh. Learn something new every day.

[cashlin]

Knowledge is power, o neighbor of mine.
