Check Hands. Check Teeth.

Worried Friend: Pretty normal, right? Good to hear. Well, whatever else you want to ask, ask it.

One of the sisters, for one. It was awful. Heard the remaining one crying from across the hall for days. FEMA ended up taking her not that long after that. Can’t seem to get it out of my head sometimes. Then there was that woman in the closet, and a nun… yeah. Grim, real grim. I’m probably missing some but I try not to think about it too much.

…is it that bad? no… no, you guys… you guys are fucking with me. i’d feel it if something like that happened to me, man! like i said a billion times, i take care of myself. i went to physical exams all the time, i… oh my god, this isn’t happening.

(He seems to have been stirred up into a panic, thinking about all the what-ifs that surround this information.)

no, i don’t think so, dude. it’s kind of starting to get to me, though… i can’t see if anything’s up, so would you check? is something wrong with it?

I just arrived at the airport when I found out what was going on. A dear friend of mine was supposed to pick me up, but… he never got to. He’s somewhere in this city, and I’ll never forgive myself if I don’t find him.

- Worried Friend

i lived with my grandmother before everything. she was a really great lady. that’s all.

- Mullet Guy

I wouldn’t say I’m missing them… probably the other way around. I wasn’t gonna be able to take it if I stayed in that house, even though I love them all. I just hope they understand.

no, uh… i don’t know, i’ve never had any issues like that, not in my life. pretty damn loud though, haha. was almost convinced i heard something break for a sec, but that wouldn’t make, like, any sense. it’s nothing to worry about, i’m probably being a total drama queen even thinking about it.

(He looks like he’s itching to change the subject, unease written all over his face.)

A variety of things. If it sounds good, I’ll like it, if that makes any sense.

- Worried Friend

rock and punk. there’s an american band i like a lot, too. i was trying to learn some of their songs on guitar before everything. got pretty far with it, too. good thing i can pick it back up now.

- Mullet Guy

Whatever’s popular, honestly. I was never really that into music growing up.

Opens arms out wide, as if inviting Mullet guy in for a hug

C’mere man!

O-Or the hug monster is gonna get you!

uh… i guess that’s fine, yeah.

(Despite the fact that you don’t hug him very tight, there’s a resounding crunch. There’s no pain on his face and he says nothing, but it’s clear that he’s a bit alarmed by it.)

…no, he hasn’t, but i know it’s just a matter of time. i’m not dumb, man, i know how i look. i’ve seen how he reacts to positives, even if they end up false. i know he’s trying to survive like everybody else but it kinda scares the shit out of me.

dude… you’re not pullin’ my leg? i’d be, like… totally over the moon. how’d you even… i don’t know how to thank you.

(He gingerly takes the guitar, looking over it with wide eyes.)

Tropical punch and watermelon. They’ve both been favorites of mine for a while :)

(ooc: old man woke up feeling like a nice guy today 🙏)

You’re… really giving us all this? Jesus. I don’t know how to possibly thank you. Pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say we owe you a million. I couldn’t tell you the last time I wasn’t worried about having enough food to eat.

(He seems a bit startled at such a gesture, not quite grasping just how meaningful it is. Seems you’ve probably helped him regain a lot of faith in other people.)

little cold dude helped me put my hair up. we talked for a little bit. kind of a cool guy actually. plus he can smile! which, i… didn’t really know, honesty. pic snapped with my camera.

…great. fun, dude. the world bursting to flames isn’t scary enough, i guess… man…

(He grimaces.)

Uh, alright. Here they are. I’ve always been kind of lanky, down to my fingers.
