Do you ever get bored as fuck and think about all the shit you miss most from home? Yeah, me too.

So. What do you miss most? Today I was thinking about how much I miss bingo nights down at the Rotary Club.

[ Never mind that things have been so chaotic around here lately that even one day of normalcy should just be a thing to enjoy. But no, not for him. ]

I miss sneaking grapes off the vine to snack on.

[inthewar]

Best fucking idea. We're full of them, aren't we?

text

[inthewar]

My whole life, I never had a fresh grape off the vine. Now you got me curious.

[64th]

Wine grapes are a little different. Sweeter.

[inthewar]

Kind of wanna do that now. Pick a bunch with you, smash them to pieces and make our own bottle of wine.

[64th]

That's a wedding tradition in my district! When a couple gets engaged they make wine together, enough for a barrel. They let it age for a year and drink it at their wedding. It's supposed to represent that a strong relationship gets better with age.

But we can also make wine with fruit and some yeast. [ prison wine. It's prison wine. ]

[inthewar]

Tried my hand at the second kind before. Not terrible. But I like the sound of that tradition, may have to steal that idea.

[ If he ever got married. That would require a normal-ish, stable relationship first, which...what are those? ]

How sentimental. While I'd love to claim that I miss nothing at all, I'd do criminal things for readily available cigarettes. And I suppose a full breakfast with my family wouldn't go unappreciated.

cigarettes. what the fuck is a rotary club

text

[uptightness]

A good cup of coffee.
Don't think I ever played bingo.

[And she's not starting now.]

[inthewar]

Speaking my language, buddy. On the cigarettes I mean. Don't know about the full breakfast with family, can't miss something I never had.

text

[inthewar]

With you on the cigarettes, buddy. And a Rotary Club is just a place a bunch of people get together and try to do some good shit for the community or whatever the fuck. I don't know a whole fucking lot about it but they have a fun game night.

[inthewar]

Shit yeah. The real good stuff. Damn, you got me missing something else now thanks. And you're missing out on bingo.

[ Doing something for the community. Ephemera actually likes the sound of that, though he's not sure how it would actually shake out or if the folks back home would let him try anything like that. More likely they'd shoot him on sight. ]

two things i bargain with the gods for. ammo and cigarettes

[ His priorities aren't always that clear cut, but Ephemera doesn't go around telling people that. ]

you play cards?

text

[inthewar]

Well what else do you fucking need, right? Ammo, cigarettes. I'd personally throw in some good booze, too.

[ Point is, this person is speaking his language. ]

Been a few years, but yeah, I play. What do you like?

text

[requiemshark]

text

[inthewar]

Back at ya.

I'm in for poker. Gotta have something fun to do around here in between the powers that be fucking with us, right?

I'm really starting to miss my fender. Playing air guitar just isn't cutting it anymore, even if I'm getting awesome at it.

[That's not even a joke.]

text

[inthewar]

Air guitar? You take any requests?

[ It's a joke that might possibly fall flat over text. ]

text

[requiemshark]

names ephemera. was here for a while then got kicked back home. thats a thing. now im back

[ Look at him, being social. ]

fucking right. least its not a shithole all the time

text

[inthewar]

Damien. And shit, you got to go home and then got sent back here? Some bad fucking luck, buddy. Look at you making the best of it though.

[64th]

In that case let's make some not terrible fruit wine together.

I was never sure I was going to get married, but it always sounded nice.

[sallyfaced]

[Fortunately he read it loud and clear.]

I can give it a shot. Even if I don't know what I'm doing it's almost impossible to tell. Because I'm that good, obviously.

text

[requiemshark]

not really. went back and got my head blown off. still walking here so thats an improvement.

[ He's dealing with it. Mostly. ]

how long you been here?
