[mood... his own is a little tired, a little resigned, but it's muted. none of it is really fresh; this is the way things go, is more the vibe. he's accustomed to this sort of ending.

he grabs a beer from the bar, then finds a seat, settling in.]


Well, guess we found out how long the relative peace was gonna last.

[he. doesn't have much faith whatever caused this is getting fixed.]

Longer than I thought.

[things went badly for him on pretty much the first day, last time? but he had higher hopes...]

The way things have been goin'? No way it ends here. Whatever it is, if they're not in control, they can't stop it.

Depends. I'd say so, but look, I've got no idea what we're gonna do about this kind of situation.

[they didn't realize anything was up until it happened, so there's probably no warning...]

I'm not bad at taking care of business. Figuring out how to do it... not, ah, not my wheelhouse here.

All we've got to go on is what he said, and even then, he seemed like he didn't want us to trust his word when I talked to him?

[so that's. potentially unhelpful.]

I've seen similar stuff happen, but I kinda doubt the usual answers to that are gonna work.

That's the read I got on him-- 'somethin' that can make logic break down in the most straightforward people', he said. Sounds more like influence than outright possession, but whatever happened, we can't... there wasn't any warning. We were all sharin' what was in our heads and nobody noticed all Friday, either.

[he exhales a breath, taking a sip from his own beer. a little ripple of frustration runs through his emotions.]

If we had a way to talk to dead people it wouldn't work anyway, right?

Oh, no.

[thoughtshare's getting its last efforts in, clearly, because she gets 'just don't let it be worse than this one. ah, wait, i'm gonna jinx it again-'

`aaa`.]
