[ It's the most horrible time of the year, and for once, Koltira is semi-lucid enough to say so. Sort of. The pain of long restraint muddies his thoughts; garbles his speech. His voice is thick, halting. He can't maintain coherent thought for long. ]

I have isolated myself in the woods. If you value your life--you will stay away.

[ HERE'S WHERE TO GO IF YOU DON'T VALUE YOUR LIFE ]

[Well, at least she saw the warning this time.]

He's not kidding. It's pretty unpleasant.

[fateality]

How much you wanna wager some folks don't pay attention and get messed up anyhow?

[cachemoney]

Well. Not everyone checks their jewelcomms all the time... [Is she feeling defensive no she's not why would you say that.]

[fateality]

Yeah, I guess that'd be hard.

[he can't even judge, he knew what was going to happen and still got kinda maimed last time]

[cachemoney]

Do you know... how long this lasts? Um, before it's safe to go out.

[fateality]

I don't think it's a real set time. A week, maybe more?

I'm tryin' to keep watch. I can let y'all know when the coast is clear.

[cachemoney]

That'd probably be helpful.

Don't, uh... get too close, though.

[fateality]

Heh. I already know that. I can watch from afar, so. Whatever.

[cachemoney]

And... are you okay?

[fateality]

Sure. I'm fine.

[fateality]

...Nah. I feel like shit. I ain't slept in awhile, and my head hurts.

But nothin' much to do about that.

[cachemoney]

[She hums softly, a sympathetic sound.]

I could keep you company, if that would help.

[fateality]

If you don't mind me bein' half-assed company than usual, then I think I'd greatly appreciate it.

[cachemoney]

I'm sure I've dealt with worse.

I'll be there with drinks in, like, five minutes.

[fateality]

Yeah, probably, but I guess I'm not used to be publicly in a foul mood.

Thanks. Drinks are nice, but it's better with a friend.

Erm—so ... need a little bit of help with the keep away signs?

[uuuuuHHH]

Are-- are you okay?

[cashlin]

He sounds like he's having a real whale of a time, if you ask me.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . HA. . .]

I, too, frequently isolate myself in the woods when I'm looking for a good time.

[he's not even bothering to mask that sarcasm]

[cashlin]

Man. Audentes really knows how to throw a party. [ s m h stop playing these games with people on the network ]

I'unno what kind of weird fit he's having, but if he has to make an announcement about it? You might wanna check on how much you value your life, trying to check in on him.

[purrtagonist]

[that actually gets an amused snort out of him]

I'm not about to do anything stupid. [he does value his life, actually. . . as much as he wants to help others, he isn't about to do so blindly, when the person he would like to help has warned him against it] But for those of us new around here? This kind of message dooooes ring a couple of alarm bells.

audio; un: cardmaster

[fateality]

Nope, he isn't. So just keep your distance right now.

[purrtagonist]

[well, Akira doesn't have any immediate plans to go poking around the woods to see what's going on, but. . .]

. . . all right.

You're sure he doesn't need any help?

[fateality]

Trust me, there isn't a whole lot any of us can do. You just need to wait it out.

[purrtagonist]

But-- [augh. no. . . he doesn't know enough about this situation to argue, even if he wants to]

I feel like I'm out of some kind of loop, here. Does this sort of thing happen often to him?

[fateality]

You're freshfaced, so that ain't exactly unexpected.

Yeah, it does. Maybe once a year now? ...Look, I can give you a rundown, if you want. Since he isn't here to say it, an' it's not like it's a big secret.

[purrtagonist]

[there's a pause, a bit of hesitation as he wonders how fair of it it is for him to pry into a stranger's private affairs]

If you don't think he'd mind, I'd like to know.

[yeah....... once was enough...]

When he says stay away, newbies, he means it.
