[ Normally she would write him a formal letter, but Alayne knows it'd be lost on Daryl. ]

Are you going anywhere in particular?

[allergictosleeves]

i'm going back home.

you?

[wont]

That has yet to be decided.
But it shan't be Westeros.

Have you people waiting for you?

SUBJECT: (no subject)

MESSAGE: Mr. Daryl, thanks for teaching me about stealth! If I see any rats or jerks, I'll be sure to take care of them with a Maya Chop! ... Sneakily, of course. You're a nice guy even if you're gruff, so I hope your world isn't nasty or anything like that.

I'm glad we met, take care!

Maya

[allergictosleeves]

good luck with that.

remember not to take candy from strangers.

[He's just going to ignore the comment about his world. Whoops.]

Week 5 Day 1

[bestandbrightest]

CONTACT: james.kirk@compass.net
MESSAGE: You alive? Where'd you get lost this time?

[allergictosleeves]

fuck this place. yeah im alive.

still tryin to figure that out.

[bestandbrightest]

Well, that's one way to put it. Well, at least you're alive.

How about where you are on the ship?

[allergictosleeves]

it's usually the goal.

flight deck. gotta get the computers functional again down in the control room. the only access point is an elevator shaft without an elevator.

[septim]

CONTACT: martin.septim@kernos.net
MESSAGE: Forgive me for acting the way I did the first time we spoke. I'm returning the bottle of liquor you gave me. I'll still heal you. Or, if you're no longer interested in that, I have books.

[allergictosleeves]

yeah, you were all sorts of fucked up. did you find out who swapped with you?

i'll still take the healing, but i don't need one right now. raincheck?

[septim]

Hyperion. I knew who had swapped with me, I just couldn't fight the temptation of his blood.

Of course. Even if you have nothing to trade, I'll still heal you. I'm a healer, not a merchant.

[allergictosleeves]

his blood turn you into slutmaster flex or did it do something fancier than that?

i'll believe it when i see it, no offense. ain't no magic back home.

Sorry, I totally missed this!

[septim]

[ 'Slutmaster Flex' ] It's more complicated than that.

I understand. You're not the first.

it's ok!

[allergictosleeves]

[What, it's catchy.]

i'm listening.

so i hear. still trying to get my brain around it tactically even after all this time.

1/2

[septim]

Technically, you're reading it.

2/2

[septim]

[ Minutes later, after he's had some time to think—it isn't as if this is a secret anymore. Still less shameful than the whole truth. And acceptance is good for the source. ] I used to be an addict. Drugs, alcohol, sex. I wasn't strong enough to resist Hyperion's blood.

[allergictosleeves]

[Martin's lucky Daryl held back on the 'don't you sass me' reply, and that he can't see the redneck's reaction to the first text.

He won't forget though.

Still, the second text hits close to home.]

that makes sense. every addict i've known can't resist a good fix for nothing, even family.

[Whoops, Martin's hit close to home on this topic.]

[septim]

It isn't easy. But that isn't an excuse. I'd been clean for over a decade. And I can do it again.

[allergictosleeves]

good to hear. with the shit that this place throws at people, its no surprise that people go off the deep end from time to time.

W17D6

[kentuckys]

How're you holding up? Haven't heard from you in a while.

And don't worry about the frog bite. It's fine now. As fine as it could be, at least.

[allergictosleeves]

better now that michonne's here, much as i hate to say. we've been doing some work clearing out the safe room.

good to hear, i was worried.

i'm thinking about making some booby traps and snares with all these leftover vines. what do you think?

[kentuckys]

How's that going?

Always better to be safe. But there's no telling what might drop from the sky tomorrow.

I'll lend a hand where I can. Still a bit slow with this new limp. Leg's a little stiff. Might be that way for a while.

[allergictosleeves]

going good. her leg's healing right up.

i know, but i hate being idle.

i'm sure we can find some way to put you to use, even if it's just weapon maintenance or some shit.

walking might do it some good, get the blood flowing.

[kentuckys]

I'll take care of the weapons. You two just keep up the cleaning. Best to get some order around this place for once.

I've been walking. Just around the campus. Those cultists are being a real pain down in the city. Or so I hear. Figured I should stay out of the public eye for a bit, until I can move proper.

[allergictosleeves]

you know the moment we do shits going to hit the fan again. id still like some damn zen around this place, no matter how long it lasts.

i would have kicked your ass if you gone any further. even im not wasting bolts trying to get into the city.

[kentuckys]

You're right. It's a nice change of pace for once.

And I don't have a deathwish. Of course I'm playing it safe.

Actually, I've been spending more time in the greenhouse. It's not much, but it's something to look forward to. [And something to care for. It's a piece of nostalgia that hasn't quite left him. It reminds him of home and of Georgia; the sunlight; Lori's small hands.]

[allergictosleeves]

and i plan on taking advantage of it.

hate to say it brother, but you dont have the best track record to back that up.

damn where the hell is this greenhouse? and what are yall growing?

[And how had this escaped his notice? Rick definitely has his attention.]

[kentuckys]

You're right about that. I haven't really been much of a survivor, have I?

It's just outside campus grounds. At least, it was. Most of this new forestry has got it all mussed up. We were trying to grow some tomatoes, some herbs. Nothing seems to take, though. Might be that the ground is too acidic.

[Rick isn't a farmer, but he's learned a thing or two.]

[allergictosleeves]

they dont exactly throw normal shit at us, even relative to walkers.

might have to swing by and take a looksie.

too bad we aint got hershel around to help with that. itd be right up his alley.

[kentuckys]

I don't think they plan to. They called these "experiments" remember? Really sick stuff.

You're welcome to. Might need you to go make some runs for supplies if you're up for it. I can only carry so much myself.

Hershel would have made a lot of things easier, I think. We've got our fair share of doctors here, but nobody like him.



I still check the railroad sometimes. See if anyone we know crossed over. Just not sure if things would be any better for them here than back home.

[allergictosleeves]

yeah, theyre king assholes alright.

aint going alone with the shear number of cultists ive seen. they're more intelligent than walkers. ill give michonne a ring.

hes one of the toughest old men ive known. even one leg down hed be an asset.

same. i hate feeling good that michonnes here, but shes one of us, you know?

[kentuckys]

Still ain't sure what they think they're getting outta this. Some sick sorta entertainment?

I remember running into a bunch of those guys the first week I was here. It was near that antique store that had a photo of my family. For some reason. Still haven't straightened that out.

She sure is. She's been asking me about ziplines. Thought I might introduce her to Jim. You know him at all?

[allergictosleeves]

part of me doesnt want to know the answer to that.

i remember that. i offered to help get it with you. they kept low for a while after that.

yeah, its hard not to. we fought alongside each other back on the ship when shit went to hell. had that still up an running for oh... less than a week. i remember him talking about ziplines when we got here. its been a while.

its a good bet theyd get along.

how many weeks has it been you think?

[kentuckys]

I'd rather get a straight answer than none. But maybe that's the point. They wanna leave us frustrated. Desperate.

He gets himself into an awful lot of trouble. I haven't spoken to him in a few days either. And compared to him, my track record is unimpressive. He up and kicks the bucket every other day seems like.

How many weeks? Too many.

[allergictosleeves]

sometimes there arent answers man. you know that.

aint that the truth of it. hes always playing the hero though. plus he's captain fucking kirk, so theres that.

preach it.

[kentuckys]

More than most.

He tries his best. We all are. Ain't easy playing leader, you know.

Still can't really take him seriously about that whole spaceship business.

[allergictosleeves]

i know brother.

naw it aint. you do good, you know.

seriously? man your lack of pop culture knowledge never ceases to amaze me.

[kentuckys]

I do what I can [It's a gentle correction, it seems. Almost a little bitter.]

Now what's that supposed to mean? [Because he knows Carl's comic books well enough. Wasn't that it?]

[allergictosleeves]

thats all anyone can do.

that you shouldve rotted your brain with more tv and movies growing up. does a body good.
