( Hay kids. It's that one loser, looking considerably cleaner, better fed and more relaxed than her first post. Part of it's pretence and part of it is being better fed, but whatever.

Today, Tara's posture is a lazy slouch against the side of her sofa, bottle of beer in hand. )

Okay, so-- possibly a personal question. How many of you dudes are from worlds where everything's kinda gone to Hell? Apocalypse-style, y'know? Like, uh, I dunno. Everyone simultaneously woke up with Donald Trump hair, or meteors hit, or there's an undead shit-storm unfolding outside.

( A casual shrug. Seems like it might be less crazy a thing here than she thought. )

And, part two: what's the best thing about the world ending? 'Cause, I mean, I kinda miss living off ramen and canned stuff being a win instead of a basis for judgment.

( Hmm. Tara takes a swig of her beer. Maybe she is a bit less okay then she seems, but that's basically what her life is all about. )

Gotta find the bright side, right?

[ And to think he hasn't even scratched the surface of some of the worst things he's been through. This is what happens when you come from a YA dystopian future novel. ]

Got a few left, yeah. A couple of them even came over with me. 'Course, we got stuck with one of the bad ones too, because it'd be a real shame if things went our way for too long.

AHHH I'm so sorry I neglected this thread, I thought I hit reply and just found the tab now 8|

Hey, I'm glad they're here. Sounds like you guys could use a break.

( That's good, that he has people like that. That's what everyone needs. As he continues, though, she huffs out a quiet laugh. )

Tell me about it. ( A little more soberly: ) How bad is "bad"?

haha, it's ok! It happens

Whole world is totally shucked. Pretty sure none of us have half a chance, even though we're still fighting for our lives. Supposedly there's a cure for what's running around, but they seem to be taking their sweet time in handing that one out.

So... pretty bad.

( A wince. ) Sounds kinda familiar. That's fucked, dude.

Maybe we'll get to wake up one day and it'll be all a dream. And-- this is a dream within a dream, I guess.

Gave up on that idea a few years back when I kept wakin' up to another day in the Maze. And before you ask? Long story short just another part of the whole pile of klunk I've been put through.
