Given what you've experienced in this world, would you return to your own if given the choice?

we better hope not
if they can come here we're kinda screwed

but thanks
it's nice to be somewhere safe

[d33tached]

I suppose so if what you've said is true about them destroying your world.

To what extent was this destruction?

[littlemissfutility]

you know how everyone here lives in cities with electricity and running water and laws????
pretend all of that is gone
there's no government there's nothing running like it used to
almost everybody's dead

[d33tached]

How did you manage to survive, then?

[littlemissfutility]

same way anyone would
people used to live without all this stuff
it sucks but it's not impossible

[d33tached]

Yes, I suppose that's true. Though, I don't suppose that most past generations had walking dead to deal with.

[See what I did there?]

I would make the assumption then that you are more than capable of defending yourself given your environment.

Has that always been the case?

[littlemissfutility]

no
they didn't
but the idea is the same
you still gotta eat and sleep right????

[How question, though--that gives her pause. Beth takes a while to answer it, uncertain whether she wants to give too many details about her relative skills. ]

idk
im okay with a knife i guess
what about you?????

[Private]

[d33tached]

[What about him? "Okay with a knife" is a gross understatement.]

I am quite capable of defending myself, I can assure you.

[But, like, let's talk about knives. He'll switch it to private just in case.]

If you have an interest in blades, I do know of a source from which you can obtain them legally within this world. They aren't necessarily of the highest quality possible, but they do serve their purpose.

[They're actually pretty nice, but this guy is used to thousand dollar custom jobs.]

private.

[littlemissfutility]

[If he's going to switch to private, she's going to keep it that way. This is obviously news that she's supposed to keep under her hat?]

i don't care about quality
where do you get them????

[d33tached]

[After quickly checking with his aforementioned knife connect, D33 sends her a link to his inbox.]

His name is Mickey Milkovich. He is a knife salesman as per his government-assigned occupation.

He is aware that I've given you information with which to contact him.

[littlemissfutility]

i'll talk to him
thanks

[d33tached]

You've no need to thank me.

[Even though you totally just did something nice to help out a newbie with absolutely no regard to your own gains, D33.]
