( 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?

Maybe this whole time I've been coping with it by picking fights with drunk people on the network.

This is the first drunk person we've had on the network in quite a while, though.

Are you calling me a liar?

[rathercommon]

If I were calling you a liar I'd say you're a liar. I'm just worried that if that's your coping mechanism, this is the first time you've been able to cope.

[mantlepieces]

Someone being sober isn't a total deal-breaker.

[rathercommon]

Ohh. So it's been a lot of fighting, has it?

[mantlepieces]

Depends on how you define "a lot." Not that I really get why we're still talking about this.

[rathercommon]

Have you got people you know here? Who support you?

[mantlepieces]

I've got people I've met here, if that's what you mean.
