what

happened when i arrived.
there were a bunch of parties going on.
like five people died

now

were these parties

or wonderland's 'parties'.

is there a difference

normal parties: food, drink, friends.

wonderland's parties: whatever the hell just happened this weekend

i'm pretty sure wonderland was the one that threw the parties in the first place when i showed up.
food drink friends the whole nine yards.
just a lot more people than usual and i guess that means more death

it takes all kinds doesn't it

[Man, he just wanted one teeny thing to look forward to. But Tim's got a point.]

guess there's always sitting and not doing anything for the next five years

hey it's a decent hobby
someone's got to.

long as there's no more water

[It's not like he has aquaphobia or anything like that. But it was still... harrowing. He hates being trapped.]

here's hoping

[He doesn't like the water.]

yeah

i uh

don't wanna see anything happen to you.

[...

Goddamn. Not another one. Not again. What's the solution here? Just don't be fucking nice to people?

~~just wait until~~

~~too late for that one~~

He deletes it.]

yeah well
you too

[Shouldn't have sent that. Should've just... pissed him off somehow or drove him away so he'd just forgotten about Cloud. Or something.

He swore off this long ago. That he'd just silently slough off somewhere.]

i'm fine.

[Always has been. Always able to look after himself, right?]

i promise.

[Promises are just lies you haven't made yet.]

sure.
everybody's fine.
we're all fine.

[Everything is Fine.]

[Boy, how could he screw up a simple 'thank you'.]

i still appreciate the help though

so

thanks. for that.

helped me too.
so thanks for that.

could help a bit better. if you'd be up for drinks sometime.

depends on the kind.

[He can't exactly drink in the conventional sense.]

someone said there's a coffee shop here, if you prefer that.

[Coffee. 'Cause the nicotine addiction wasn't bad enough but - who's he kidding? He already gets caffeine headaches.]

yeah alright

whenever you'd want. no pressure.

[Just. Something that isn't nearly dying and panic attacks for once. Sounds like they both need it.]

we usually get a few weeks between events
something like that

i noticed some weird faces show up just before it strikes.

the residents yeah.
they usually say something cryptic just before hand

if they're the ones triggering em, can't we stop it somehow?

~~we could kill th~~

[He deletes it. What the fuck was he thinking.]
