[sphecophobic]

How are you holding up?
Seems like things have been rough around here lately.

Thought I'd see how you were doing.

[louds]

Well it's, you know. It's a lot.

But I'm fine. Got a job. ( got 3... ) Making the most of what we've got, or whatever an inspirational person would say about this situation.

[sphecophobic]

Well, I still don't actually have a job, so I think you're acclimating better than I am.
Shockingly Welsh Kings and ley lines is not an area of interest with a high rate of transference to this place.

But you're right, it is a lot.

[louds]

Oh God, what would you even be like as an employee. Why don't you see if there's a library or something? At least that way you could spend half your time researching odd things here too.

People keep telling me not to freak out, so. I'm not freaking out.

[sphecophobic]

There do seem to be bookstores, but I'm not sure the sort of thing they have on offer is quite where I want to focus my efforts.

[It seems to largely be kink-focused or pornographic.]

So I'm still looking.
And not freaking out is a good place to start, even if I'll admit this place does rather warrant it.

About as worth watching as the fascinating television offerings?

( finally a tv she isn't sharing with at least three other people, and she can't even enjoy it. )

I presume you have some kind of inspirational 'we'll all manage together' type speech waiting in the wings for when things seem this bleak?

[sphecophobic]

Yes, quite. Precisely the same sort of value.

Well, being kidnapped to a bondage sex dimension was strangely absent from things I'd considered. So it's a bit unscripted.

But, I do think the best way to manage is if we're all together in this.
We just need to watch out for each other, and try to keep everyone safe.
Even if the idea of what that can mean in this place is frankly a step past absurd.

[This place infuriates him in a way he isn't talking to anyone about. But sometimes it burns in his chest.]

[louds]

Even off script, you've got something good tucked up your sleeve.You're good at that, rallying people.

( she does frantically cast her mind back, trying to remember if this is the sort of thing she would have said to him before the summer, but the easier approach seems to just move on quickly, so she starts typing again, very fast. )

The amount of innuendo based puns in this place alone should be criminal, they should be policing that, not what we're all up to. It's like the humor never evolved past group of drunk frat boys.
