#44 - Oh brother where art thou

[inthecenterfold]

[[I was away all day bawww so we'll say that Smoke is only finally coherent enough to write in the journal and hasn't read Lin's entry yet /braces for hate. He saw Lotus' entry and immediately went to the park with Aniki in tow and found Amurui, with player permission from both~]][the handwriting is chicken-scratchy, reminiscent of Smoke's earliest

I can bring you guys food if you need it, though I see other people have offered to bring stuff.

[inthecenterfold]

[He's noticing they're female too. If only he was in a better mood]

I just didn't want to make disappearing a habit, you know? That happened a lot back then.

[ruby_nova]

Well, I don't know anything about that, but things don't have to be the same if you don't want them to.

What do you prefer: chicken or beef?

[inthecenterfold]

[slightly nostalgic right now, ignore him]

Chicken, I guess. Sushi's nice too.

[weaver_girl]

I'll be over later, all right? There's Toushi, too, so I'm going to talk to Kazahana first. Take care.

[inthecenterfold]

Yeah I understand. Just had to be here, is all.

[weaver_girl]

Oh, of course. I'd worry if you were anywhere else. But I'll make a round later. I'll bring you tea or something, it could be a cold night.

[inthecenterfold]

T

Probably, but not unfamiliar either.

[iattractmushi]

I was going to offer a campfire, but I see you already have plenty of volunteers.

[inthecenterfold]

Yeah it's kinda crazy, no joke.

[iattractmushi]

This whole situation is.

[He'll probably be around anyway, since he does happen to live there... but he'll make his campfire far enough away, or maybe behind some trees, to give Smoke the option of coming over or staying with Amurui, whichever he'd like.]

[inthecenterfold]

I'm more pissed at myself I didn't even think about this until now.

[Lack of foresight, alas. He could come over for a short visit?]

[ledouche_zero]

[He thinks he might recognize that handwriting.]

I've been hearing about that. ... I'm sorry. I hope everything will be all right.

[He wants to ask if these kind of shenanigans are a normal occurrence, but observations tells him either they're not, or they never happen without horrible results. So he's just refraining.]

[inthecenterfold]

King, right?

Nothing for you to be sorry for.

[ledouche_zero]

Yes, that's me. And you're... [A pause while he checks the notes he's been keeping.] Smoke?

Even though I didn't cause the situation, I still feel concerned about it.

[inthecenterfold]

Yeah that's me.

Why's that? You know one of the Hourglass people?
