Zack Attack

-laughs- All right. I’ll be a pirate. -smiles- I do remember those movies- everyone was into Pirates after that. They were all over the place. Did you ever get to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land? -raises her eyebrows- Every time I see you, you’ve got a bottle in your hand. I hope you’re going easy on the stuff Zack.

Great! Pirates are awesome! Just channel your inner Jack Sparrow! hang on I'll be right back! *looks excited and runs back to his room to get extra costume pieces, comes back and hands them to Cadence* Here you go! It'll be great to have another pirate to hang out with! I did go on that ride-I was doing this concert at Disneyland, and they let me hang out at the park after-hours. Best night EVER!

I know it will. I’m just being whiny. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I am a child. 

Well hey, I say that's a good thing, I mean too many people here are just all grown up and too mature and boring and uptight, don't you think? Like, some girl yelled at me the other day because I lost my stun gun and apparently she found it? It was ridiculous, like, chill out people! I mean its nice to meet someone who's not like all the other people on this base.

Reva rolled her eyes. “At least I’m not annoyingly cheerful, like some people I can think of”

Cake! Oh my god, cake, YES, that’s awesome! *cheers happily* Can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve had cake, or any sort of dessert for that matter! *grins* Are you good at sharing?

Of course I’ll share. 

Great! I can't wait to taste it! What exactly are you putting in this?

*smirks* I’m glad you find this all very entertaining, I still find it terrifying. Um, someone else thinks I knit in my spare time… *waves his hands and shoulders in a shrugging motion* …the rest is gossip about my relationship status.

*laughs even harder* Oh yeah totally, sure I can see you as a knitter *shakes head* Geez, sounds like I'm surrounded by people who have good senses of humor. Just wish they showed it even when they aren't just spreading rumors!

Hey! Weird? Whaaat? *pretends to look offended* But yeah, true that on the sober part *laughs*

We’re never going to get back if we don’t work at it. The Agarthans are going to destroy us or we’re gonna rot out here in the wilderness if we don’t… some of us probably sooner than later.

True. I guess you and that girl who chewed me out for doing nothing the other day were right. I probably could be doing more. Just, I dunno, sometimes it just seems kinda futile, you know?

I don’t think I have anything to dress up in, besides the hospital gown that I refuse to wear. I’m not that creative with costumes. -laughs- I don’t know of anyone who might have a hidden stash of candy around here, but I will help you find it, if there is some.

Hey that's fine! Ugh, hospital gowns would be a drag of a costume. Hey, I think I have some extra costume pieces-wanna be a pirate also? Did you ever see those great Pirates of the Caribbean movies? I loved those, I admit I was partially inspired by Jack Sparrow. Especially with the rum! *laughs and holds up a bottle)

*leaves and returns a few minutes later with a mug of water for Zack*

*leans against a tree and starts gulping down the water* Thanks man, sorry you had to see that. I guess I just made a bad batch or something *shakes head*

I know. You’re right. -chuckles- I just get so out of sorts sometimes. I’m honestly still a child. A self indulgent child. 

No way man everyone's got bad days. I mean, sometimes I don't even wanna get out of bed in the morning, but you gotta keep your chin up and remember that it's gonna get better, really!

On the surface, today would be Halloween

Nice Costume Zack

Yeah, I remember. And you haven’t gotten any less weird or more sober since then. 

Hey! Weird? Whaaat? *pretends to look offended* But yeah, true that on the sober part *laughs*

*steps back and watches with an expression somewhere between concern and dismay*

*stumbles back and leans against a tree, wiping his mouth* Yeah...water might be...good *gasps* Thanks

I’m trying to bake something cake-like. We don’t have cake in Agartha, really. 

Cake! Oh my god, cake, YES, that's awesome! *cheers happily* Can't tell you how long it's been since I've had cake, or any sort of dessert for that matter! *grins* Are you good at sharing?

On the surface, today would be Halloween

"Oh, so that’s what you’ve been working on lately instead of training, or anything remotely productive"

Hey Reva, pleasure as always to see you, and your wonderfully cheerful attitude *smiles*

Like I said, the one rumour that struck me in particular was someone wanted me to share a few nudes!? Another one suspects I like “big watermelons” *as he repeats it he chuckles in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of the rumour* I don’t know if they meant anything by it, but… *smirks and shakes his head, unable and unsure of how to finish the sentence* …Even if it wasn’t some strange form of innuendo, that just makes it even worse, how bored does someone have to be to discuss what size fruit I prefer in my diet?

*doubles over laughing* Oh my god, that's hilarious!*holds up a hand and gasps for breath* Hang on...oh wow haha thats awesome.  Dang, sounds like this camp is a lot more entertaining than I thought! Did you hear anything else of interest?

Yes. I just don’t want to start drinking instead of dealing with my problems. Then it becomes an issue. 

Yeah no, don't do that, you still gotta fix your problems at some point, and hey, I know first hand, drinking doesn't actually fix shit-like, you wake up with a hangover, and it didn't actually help anything, but damn, is it fun! And great if you want some temporary peace of mind!

-watches him unsure and occasionally attempts to approach but looks confused, and back against the wall again-

*starts laughing uncontrollably while still on the ground and starts making goofy faces* MY FACE IS MAGIC!!!!
