[network] Day 252; @dickcheese, text

[headjacked]

[ How the hell did he let a day go by? ...well. Disorientation, panic, freaky shadows literally shadowing him -- there are excuses. They're just pretty crummy.

Time to face the world. ]

If you're an obit-stalker, you probably know this already, but I'm alive, okay, and unlike SOME PEOPLE, actually kept my memories.

Except I have no freaking clue where I am. Like, I KNOW I'm in the fire station, but I have NO IDEA where that is. It's like my mental map of this place has been completely scrambled. Kind of not great if I want to avoid getting locked out again.

[ This applies to indoors as well, but the general populace doesn't need to know he's getting lost in the buildings themselves. ]

Is anyone nearby? I'm gonna need a guide until this wears off.

And does anybody know where Dumpy is? If he's okay?

sure sounds like you're gonna have a fun few days getting your bearings. good luck not freezing to death from here on out
[ He really, really wished he had popcorn right about now so he could snack while he watches the network for the rest of this. It'd be perfect. ]
so how was your dirt nap anyway
you get a full eight hours in?

Ohhh trust me, Hugo, I was up and at 'em next day. Which, curiously. Is still better than your (Norfinbury) record!

And all that really matters is who makes it home, the Totally And Presently alive guy or the dead nobody?

[24karat]

that's not a lot of beauty rest, and we all know you need that
plus? i didn't have to deal with this place while i was out, while you still had to go through all the bullshit. i'm pretty confident i had a better time than you did. who got a vacation, and who had to work overtime.

yeah i'd say you're the dead nobody but unfortunately the first part doesn't really apply at the moment, does it
don't worry though, i'm keeping a timer for you! see how long you last with your current predicament.

[headjacked]

Yeah? Thought you were Hyperion. Who gets the reward; the vacationer or the guy who put in mega-overtime? Ask your idol, if he'll give you the time of day.

[ B...ecause Jack is with Steph, and Steph isn't letting Jack talk, and. ]

[24karat]

thought you were aware this place ain't in hyperion jurisdiction by now, but that would imply you know much about where anything is at the moment.
besides, i really don't want to know what kind of shit norfinbury counts as a reward. you enjoy getting 57 anomalies in your face when you hit your death quota.

oh hey though, now that i'm thinking about it-- how many times have you died here? wonder if there's a limit.

[headjacked]

Twice.

Guess that makes us pretty even, what with your pre-Norfindeath (again, the one that really REALLY counts) and whatever put your name on the obits. Shame nobody cared enough to shed any tears on 'em!

[24karat]

you're really beating that horse, aren't you? cool that you're so preoccupied with the fact that you got me killed, but don't you worry your little head none. i'm back at 100%, and i intend to stay that way, which i'm sure is the best news you've heard all week.

y'know what? i didn't see much of anybody crying over you either, rhysie
hmmm. wonder why that is??
the fact you think i care about mourners is cute though. i've got better things to do than wait on sympathy, and i don't want it, either. i'm not gonna waste time while there's shit that needs doing.

[headjacked]

OK, Vasquez doesn't want to be remembered. No-ted.

ANYWAY - shit that needs doing. Curious, what shit have you accomplished since getting dragged here?
