so...

you seem sort of… familiar.
do you hear that too?
what? no.

i feel like ive seen you before
maybe its your eyes?
never mind
i feel like people are starting to look more and more similar these days maybe youre noticing it too

>>>
similar... color scheme ?

grey.
you definitely havent cause i just moved here a few months ago lol

no but-
my eyes are pretty generic. youre probably just confusing me with someone else and whoever that person is i do not know them

...
speaking of, i totally forgot to bring out the trash earlier

>>>
oh well!

>>>
now you somehow made her uncomfortable.
dumbass troglodyte fuck.

hey. :(
sorry...

i forgive you white voice. just this once.
go fuck yourself
you look at smudged writing on your hand… damnit why did you use a black pen to write on black gloves…

>>>
…why did you write on your gloves???

girl are you deep sea fibre optic cable?
you seem sort of... familar (attempt nr.2)
because i would like to… chew on you…

(?)
hmm.

>>>
that would be a mildly funny line if you were like, a shark guy or something

>>>
but i cant tell what you look like under that mask all covered up like that

so how do you know im NOT a shark guy?
just have a feeling.

how do you know if im a guy at all?
i dont.

>>>
youre definitely not a shark though haha

...
see? i exposed you.

>>>
you must feel so embarrassed right now.

oh you havent seen embarrassing YET
really? okay do something embarrassing right now.

i… i cant on comand..
im too nervous
youre right! that is pretty embarrassing

im better when no ones watching.
sure.

>>>
didnt we take a class together?
i couldve sworn we had chemistry

;^9
oh. ohhhhh

>>>
it was a set up for a corny pick up line hah okay i get it

>>>
chemestry.. yeayea very clever

>>>
i... feel a bit bad for reacting like that now.

>>>
i think its just the pipes. this place gets supplied through them and they go pretty far underground.

>>>
theyre bigger than the usual ones too and even connect to other buildings and stuff. pretty interesting

are you passionate about vents or something?
not particularly.

>>>
i just used to live in an area with lots of them so i explored for a bit. it… can come in handy.

>>>
but seriously some are HUGE. more like canals. but theyre all abandoned and dry now so you can walk through them

>>>
uh the pipes i mean not the vents.

same difference
i still dont really understand their use.
they smell good tho.

like blood.
you sniff them?
huh…i guess youre right

never payed them much attention
haha come on its hard to ignore

never payed them much attention
most people here arent really aware of the system. especially newcomers.

>>>
woah i sound old haha i mean i didnt die THAT long ago. nothing compared to the higher ups at least

>>>
when did you come here anyway?

about... 4 years ago?
ah that makes sense then. so you never got a glimpse of what it used to be like around here before Neziah either huh?

>>>
probably more chaotic. you never think about that?

i dont think much about anything tbh
was too focused on the grind to care
me neither. its not like anyone ever explains shit to you. ya die, ya wake up here and if youre lucky you still sorta remember who you used to be.

>>>
or maybe unlucky in most cases.

>>>
...

>>>
you just gotta go along with it.

>>>
but everyones too busy too care anyway they all got their own things going on

>>>
hmm oh well

>>>
fair enough i would say. its probably for the best.

>>>
the new artificial guards they created, dont know if youve seen them but they only really follow orders and nothing else.

>>>
i mean its sorta fucked up but in a way that seems peaceful not having to worry or think about anything

>>>
having a perfect identity just given to you with no prior memories to pull you down…

they look pretty cool.
pshh overrated!
haha

>>>
when i think too much my head just starts hurting

>>>
it would be cool to go to the archives and read all their old records and stuff

>>>
or rather.. have someone smart explain them to me. im still not fluent in abyssal its too tricky.

dont you need a permit to get in though?
maybe one day
that too. but its not like i actually plan to go.

>>>
i have other stuff to deal with

>>>
yeah…. probably not

>>>
whatever^^
