( 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?

( Max is a bro. That is all that needs to be said.

Tara laughs, at that, and it's not a totally happy laugh. Maybe it shows. )

Don't make mistakes just because you've wedded yourself to it as a part of your identity, Tara.]

Making mistakes is a humanity-special. Doesn't make it a special part of you.

( Looking up, Tara snorts a little. )

Did you get that from a fortune cookie or a cereal box?

Hey, just 'cause I'm cheesy doesn't mean I'm wrong.

[unhidden]

No, but it means you'll start making puns any time, now.

[khajidont]

[Ah, deflection. He's got your number, Tara, and it's the same as his, but like hell he's going to point it out A: in public, B: to someone he hardly knows, C: over the network. Joys.]

Nope. I'm bad at puns.

tags that pain me for 500, alex

Is there such a thing as a person who makes good puns?

[khajidont]

Check out Will Graham's fishing shop. He's amazing.

You're baiting me.

( ohoho )

I'm --

[You can see the second that Jaime realizes that there's nothing between his ears but empty space.]

Wait, no, I've -- I'm not even drunk! Why am I so bad at this?

[Banter: the bane of his life.]
