i didnot want it to e n d like t h i s

*After that cheerful message the post switches over to video. Its notably dark and lit only by the tablet's backlight and starts with a shot of Brian's masked face. The red frowny face might seem more fitting than usual. After a few moments he swings the tablet around to show a piece of rubble that he's written "GOODBYE" on in blue crayon. It holds there for about 5-10 seconds before the post switches back to text.*

((ASCII85 code at the end translates to "sorry." Brian'll respond in text until he becomes too weak to do so.))

Are you traveling with anyone?
Do you have anything to help shield yourself?
Maybe look for some rubble to use to make a shelter.

[Brian might be weird and dangerous, but he doesn't want him to die.]

Frickin hell.

[0thingsonmymind]

[swatsflies]

Try anyways. Okay?

[He's too far and locked in to be of any use. :<]

[Was it worth it???]

[0thingsonmymind]

i cannot know if it means any thing

[swatsflies]

Alright. Good.

The only way to know is record everything.
I'm in the hospital now. I'm going to explore it tomorrow.
...I'll leave you a message if I find anything for you when you come back.

[IF he comes back. He's hoping he frickin comes back even if the odds are stacked against them.]

[0thingsonmymind]

yes, thatis what iwas do ing

*When he comes back. If he comes back. He wants to come back, but he expects its not something up to him. Normally it'd be up to the Operator, but here...was it up to the @admin? Whatever force controls this place?
...if he dies here, does the Operator's world swallow him up or does he simply fade away? He's not sure why, but the idea of not going to that dark world is unsettling. Its what he'd expected from death for so long but here...here his body gets locked in a drawer and he's likely left alone.
He doesn't want to think about it.*

iwill respond if
can

[swatsflies]

[Why is everyone dying this past week? He's going to concentrate on the positive.]

Alright. I'll be waiting for a response.
