I'm okay. [as usual... the weekend was a hot mess, but now they have clothing options so nature is healing.] How about you?

[recession]

Alive. Doing about as well as someone could be, circumstances considered, which is apparently everyone's favourite default go-to response for that question.

Still worth asking though. It's good to check up on people especially now.

[halved]

Well... It's not like people can just say they're having the worst time of their lives without being a total downer.

[recession]

Hmm.

I am having the worst time of my life right now. Thoughts?

I'm... sorry...?

[recession]

I'm kidding. Well, sort of.

Just opening the avenue if you actually secretly wanted to complain a lot about our current situation. Could anybody blame you?

[halved]

... Oh. Um. Thanks.

I don't know, though. The situation is so messed up, and even complaining about it won't help me relax. I really don't know what to say anymore.

[recession]

I can tell the attempt didn't go over so well. Sorry.

Anyway... yeah. That's about how we all feel, I think. A distraction would be nice.

[halved]

[a shake of her head.]

You didn't do anything wrong. Just caught me by surprise.

[truly did not expect to get her line tossed right back to her. help.]

Did you have something in mind?

[recession]

We've just about exhausted everything we could in this little village circle for options, haven't we...?

Have you asked around for anything from the overseers? Maybe having a book or two around would actually be nice.

[halved]

I asked for more supplies, but... A book would be nice for next time. [THINKS...] Domek requested one and didn't get anything weird, so there are probably normal books where the overseers are getting their stuff.

[recession]

We've got a lot of people asking for supplies. I'm sure you could afford to ask for something mundane. Besides, it'll help everyone out too.

[halved]

You think we can start a book club in town, then?

[recession]

Why not? I know a couple of you would be really interested and I'm sure others wouldn't mind a few books lying around.

Marina, Pickles... I think I could see Ms. Gainsborough being into reading...

there's a pause like she is thinking VERY HARD about whether or not it's rude to act surprised that the dog can read]

[recession]

[ Looks at her like. ]

Philosophy is his favourite genre, I think...

[halved]

Oh...

[JUST OH...]

[recession]

Too strange? I honestly wouldn't blame you... I was pretty taken aback too, when I first talked to him.

But after it settled in a bit, at least it's weird in a not-so-bad way.

[halved]

I know he's smart enough to hold a conversation, but it's still a shock...

He's really not like a normal dog at all, is he?

[AND THEN NONA KILLED OUR SWEET GENIUS PUPPY... RIP.]

[recession]

Not at all. It's astounding, really.

But we all come from pretty weird places. Some more similar than others -- I'd probably assume ours are closer than say, you and Pickles, or me and Rondo.

[halved]

... Yeah, that sounds right. I can't imagine Pickles and Rondo surviving for long in my world, anyway.

[they would get murderized by fujimoto so fast.]

[ LET THE DOG LIVE FUJIMOTO

Anyway he just kind of mucks about a minute. ]

No? I guess you did arrive with a severed arm... that doesn't normally happen.

[halved]

[LET THE DOG LIVE FUJIMOTO... STOP YOUR MURDER HANDS...

she makes a face. don't remind her...]

Someone must have a sick sense of humor.

[recession]

They sure do.

[ ...Standing here looking like he's visibly debating something. And then looks at her. ]

Especially considering I got mine back.

[halved]

Excuse me?
