[He takes a seat at the table across from her, setting the small bag he's brought with him on the table as well, about to start digging through it when she asks him a question.]

No, I screwed it up before I got here and just keep making it worse, so...

[No real point in wasting time and supplies and all of that. Even though he knows some people here have healing powers and he's considered asking for a favor, he's pretty sure he'd manage to injure himself five minutes after getting it healed anyway.]

We haven't been looking much in the abandoned homes, just the stores.

[So that's an idea. But they've generally been playing it safe, and the stores are more frequently visited and so less likely to be newly homes to monsters.

He pulls out a few little containers of one of the strictly vegetarian meals Sam had showed them how to make, offering one toward Maketh.]


Not sure if you, you know. Had much food to go with your alcohol.

[And for some time after he and his friends arrived in this place even doing something as simple as making food had been a daunting task, after what they'd gone through at home. He imagines turning into a monster and dying probably puts Maketh in a similar position, and he isn't sure if she has anyone looking out for her the way his friends had all looked out for each other.]

Yes ma'am.

[He's not actually promising to agree; it's more said as a light, slightly humorous response to the order than anything else. But maybe he'll at least talk to the guy who runs the clinic, once the aftermath of the wendigo event dies down a bit.

He nods at the comment about the supplies, because it's definitely true; he wonders which god is responsible for stocking the stores, because it might actually matter. Rage and Fear obviously don't know what they're doing--assuming they were genuinely trying to help Hope out with the food thing--and Hope seems to be pretty drained, so who knows how steady their supplies might end up being in the future.]


Yeah. Probably worth the risk, I guess, especially if there's some better stuff. There's five of us at my place, too.

[So they need a lot of supplies, pretty often. He offers a small smile at the thanks.]

No problem. Drinking isn't much fun if you just get sick right after anyway.

[He just offers another dorky grin at the side-eye, the perfectly innocent look of someone who gets that expression turned toward him a lot. Though he does know when not to test his luck, so he'll focus on answering that question.]

Yeah. Including me, there's five.

[The smile fades a bit, and he shifts his gaze down toward the empty glasses Maketh has arranged.]

There was a sixth, but she disappeared. During the event.

I don't think so.

[He might've been more concerned about the possibility if this hadn't happened once already.]

Sometimes people just... Leave. Apparently.

[He's not sure how to interpret that response except maybe she's dubious about the idea, but he doesn't elaborate at the moment. Instead he considers the shot she slides toward him, and decides one shot isn't going to hurt.

So he lifts the glass in a gesture of cheers before tipping it back. It's been over a year since he did any shots so it's a little stronger than he's expecting, and earns a probably somewhat amusing face and cough once he's done.]


Haven't done that in while.

Yeah, liquor's usually a little too expensive for college students.

[So most of the parties he has attended in the past year served beer at the strongest anyway, in addition to him generally avoiding overdoing it.

The civilian comment gets his interest.]


'Civilians?' Are you like, military or a cop or something?

[Who knows what people might be in this place.[

[He nods, interested; he's not really familiar with any of that, but the idea makes sense.]

What part of it did you like best? Like, the commanding part or the administrative stuff?

[Because he doubts those two things could be any more different, so he's curious about if she has a preference and, if so, which it is.

He nods at the question, pushing his glass around idly between his fingers.]


Yeah, I was in my second year. My major was computer science, so like, programming and how computers work and all that.

[He explains just because what 'computer science' entails seems to vary wildly between worlds, from what conversation he's had on the subject while here.]

So like, planning things and solving problems?

[Makes sense, from what he knows of her personality so far. He also understands that a lot, because he's the same way; seeing the steps to a solution or putting together facts to solve a puzzle come naturally to him, which has been really helpful recently.

A lot more than his field in school, anyway, and he shakes his head a little.]


Yeah, it's really in demand at home, but here it's been totally unhelpful.

[Hope's weird phones aren't even an operating system he knows, though Rhys did say he'd teach him and hopefully he'll be able to pick it up pretty quickly. But otherwise his talent with technology hasn't helped much here, and he's felt kind of useless overall especially next to all these people who can use swords or do magic or whatever.]

That's pretty cool. It sounds like something that'd be really useful here, if you wanted to deal with trying to coordinate it.

[The people here have definitely been more inclined to working independently, including his own group of friends, but some sort of more communal organization might be a good idea. Especially when things like the last few events happen.

He nods again, looking a little more serious.]


The whole 'being able to fight' thing seems to be the most useful skill in this place so far.

[He assumes that's what she means about her military academy training being useful, anyway.]

Yeah? Awesome. If there's anything I can do to help, just uh... Let me know.

[He doesn't like making serious decisions--though he definitely can if he has to--but he'd be interested in helping out in some sort of organizing that's in everyone's best interests. If that's even possible.

He considers that last comment seriously, tapping his fingers idly against his empty glass as he thinks.]


Yeah. Maybe like... There's so many people here with like, totally different skills; some of the people that messaged us during... You know...

[The last event.]

They could make fire, or heal people, or had weapons or whatever else, and offered to help with whatever. So maybe they and others here would be willing to just sort of make what they can do public knowledge? So everyone knows what each person here's capable of, so we all know who to go to for different situations?

[He's not sure how well it would work in practice, but it's really hard to organize a strategic response to a threat if no one knows who or what they're working with.]

[He still hasn't poured another shot, still deciding if he's going to or not; he has a pretty high alcohol tolerance, but he doesn't want to push it. Better to stop before he feels any effects, rather than drink enough to have reason to keep doing so.]

Yeah. A lot of people here seem big on the alcohol thing, so it's a good bargaining chip.

'Course it's good for more than just drinking, too.

[It's a disinfectant and, perhaps more importantly, a source a fire. Sure, the wendigo problem might have been taken care of by Rage, but for how long? They thought they'd escaped that nightmare on the mountain only for wendigo to just appear here too, so who knows when they might need a way to make fire. Especially a potentially long-range and explosive way.]

But who knows, I mean, no one who offered to help with the wendigos asked for anything in return. There might just be like, a lot of nice people here, or at least people who know working together's best for everyone.

Not really, but I'd think that...

[How to put this in a way that won't be insulting?]

Like, I totally understand wanting to drink to forget that we're all in this shithole of a cave, especially if it's only occasionally or whatever. But it seems like it should be kind of... Low priority?

[And being drunk makes you totally useless in an emergency, but he doesn't say that. Instead he frowns a little at her other comments, understanding but not agreeing.]

So you think that when it comes down to it people'll just be looking out for themselves?
