Describe the best 24 hours you ever had.
"I don't know about the best twenty-four hours of my life, however, I can think of one hour that broke up a pretty fucked up day. There is of course a bit of a back story, about how I ended up in The Mountain for the first time."
"You see, Markus got it into his head that he wanted to meet with some of the leaders of towns outside the Mountain. Being the smart man he is, he contacted me, instead of the little prick in Clarefield at the time, because he just couldn't see himself dealing with him. It was a really good idea he did, Eric didn't find himself long in the land of the living after that. He only got what he was gunning to do to me."
"Well, there was at first a bit of trouble just getting into The Mountain. Seems Markus was having some... conflicts with some of his people. They put me in a small room with Kurdy and Jeremiah, because those two don't know how to follow orders. Good men, both of them... really easy to rile them up."
"Once all that little shit was figured out, Markus took me for a tour of the Mountain and as we were walking down one of those many hallways... we passed a room I hadn't seen in so long. It was a Woman's Washroom."
"Well, I thought I died and went to heaven. I know I wasn't supposed too... but as soon as he told me it worked... I stepped into that room... locked the door behind me... and honey... I loved every second of it. They had soap... they had HOT running water... toilets... real flushing toilets... and toilet paper to go along with it." Heavy sigh, "I must have stood under that shower for a good half an hour... I brushed my teeth, I washed myself from my hair down to my toes in hot clean water... and soap... there was no lye in it... it didn't burn."
"I hadn't felt that clean in years."
"I left that room in a cloud of steam... to find Markus sitting on the floor just outside. We... continued on our tour of the Mountain... and things just went to shit from there on out. But I at least had that hour."
"You know... come to think of it... Loki, if you had something to do with that walkie-talkie ending up in my bag, we're going to have words. That poor boy ain't never gonna be able to take care of himself again and I don't like the thought I was the one to put him in that position. Not when it didn't have to happen."
