[ Hey look it's Clem! Hi Clem! Only she looks a little ... guilty, and sheepish today. She's curled up on a chair by the window, with a book open in her lap, and a look of concentration on her face. Occasionally she glances up and around at a sound of the apartment settling, or a bird chirping - any noise she wasn't expected she jumps a bit in surprise. ]
.... I kind of messed up at work today. I think the man I work for is mad at me.
[ Or just a little concerned, Same thing. But uh... what exactly she did to make him concerned in the first place ...well, she knew she screwed up badly there. ]
Is Thane still here?
[ She hopes he is, but...wouldn't be surprised if he was gone - that tended to be the norm; people leave. At least he hasn't died right? After an awkward pause, she decides to offer another question. ]
And... um..What's a tibisp? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Re: video
[ HUFF. ]
It says it right in here. [ She tilts the book up - 'Quick and Easy Recipes' ]
video
Alright, I stand corrected. Whoever wrote that book is the one making up words.
[ Again, stones. Glass houses. ]
video
Mm, no but it's weird. Someone said it's supposed to mean teaspoon or something. So I guess it's short for it to save space? [ But there's no b in teaspoon so maybee... tablespoon... - wait, which spoon is a teaspoon and which is a tablespoon? ]
video
It's two letters shorter, so I don't know what space they think they're saving here.
video
Yeah... I guess because they put two recipes on a page instead of one, so there isn't room to spell it out, but.. it still seems silly.
[ Although she kinda wonders why they don't juse put one recipe per page. ]
video
[ Good question, but Minho's not a cook or someone who makes cookbooks, so he can't really speak on these matters. ]
video
[ Probably. ]
video
[ He lived in a small community where there was one cook for the entire group.
... He was not that cook. ]
video
... did you cook a lot before?
video
Dunno. Can't remember. Haven't much for the past couple of years though, that's for sure.
video
Oh. I haven't before. [ That might be obvious though. ] I haven't had hot food in a couple of years either though.
video
A pause at that. ]
So what's the deal with that one? Your world completely shucked or just a bad personal situation?
video
[ Well, moving on. ]
Food is hard to come by anymore, back home. A lot of people are Walkers, ....um. Undead. So there aren't a lot of people that are still alive anymore. And some of the ones that are turn on you almost as fast.
video
Glader slang. Don't worry about it.
[ Nah, he won't be a total jerk today. ]
But yeah, sounds pretty shucked to me. Undead, huh? Like zombies? What's the deal with that, if you get bitten you become one?
[ Not sure if that's better or worse than The Flare. ]
Re: video
.. yeah. Or they swarm you and eat you alive.
[ And the screams were things she could not stop hearing some nights. ]
video
He's seen something like that. A close friend of him being swarmed and ripped to pieces, not by people though he wouldn't be surprised to hear things like that happened on his world given the fragile mental states of people infected with The Flare. ]
Sounds fun. Bet you're glad to be here.
video
...
[ Yeah no. Well she assumes he means about as fun as a bullet through the head, but still, she doesn't respond to it. Instead focusing on the latter. ]
Sometimes.
[ She worried about the people she's left behind though. ]
It's nice to have electricity again. And running water.
video
Always a cushy plus.
[ Though he's been sans a house since coming here, so it's not like he's really had those conveniences himself. ]
video
What's your favorite thing about it? Having a house or apartment, I mean, with stuff in it?
[ Random much, Clem? ]
video
[ Not actually living in the provided houses does make it a little harder for him to have a favorite thing about it. ]
Re: video
They didn't give you a home?
video
Re: video
How come?
video
[ Also last time he trusted someone and slept in the bedroom they offered him, he was locked inside it and starved for several long days. So... he's not super interested in risking a repeat. ]
Re: video
What about when it rains?
