ceiling_catHey, Willow! Sorry for takin' so long, I think I've got something workin' most of the time. Bit busy last week.
[Between apple picking, scavenging and crisis management... what he wouldn't give for some nice convenient civilization.] Can send it by if ya wanna take a look.
Second order a business: anybody here keep chickens, and how much you want in trade for a layin' hen or two? I can try scavengin' up some stuff for ya, bang together furniture, your call. Any other kind of bird's fine too, just so long as the eggs're a decent size. Thanks.
[PRIVATE | LOCKED TO JOSHUA]
Look what I found. [He lifts up a dusty, slightly cobwebbed and partly empty bottle with an metal screw cap. The label's too mold-stained to read, but the color is a rich brown.] From the smell it's some kinda liquor. Think you'd be up for helpin' me figure out if it's any good?

Date: 2011-10-18 01:09 am (UTC)Nothing is easy. If it is, you're not doing it right.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:14 am (UTC)You got that one right. [chuckling] So, somebody tells me there's dragons outside the city walls. Might be able to get one to cook down some drywall for me. Even if there's sacks a plaster out there somewhere, by now the damp woulda gotten into them.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:24 am (UTC)You're really willing to risk being eaten just to procure a little plaster?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:27 am (UTC)[The smirk on his face suggests he's half joking in any case.] Other method is gettin' Skulls ta drag some more cinderblock back an' buildin' myself a kiln in the backyard. We've got plenty of applewood now.

Date: 2011-10-18 01:38 am (UTC)[Oh, the alcohol is kicking in a little already. He leans back, the counter on one side and the wall on the other, and takes the last mouthful of alcohol from his mug.]
A kiln would be a safer alternative, but if you're set on risking meeting up with something big and nasty, I won't stop you.

Date: 2011-10-18 01:41 am (UTC)[He's nursing his cup along -- helps that he's already refilled it, of course.] Wanna refill?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:47 am (UTC)[He shrugs, holding out his cup.] Might as well. It's starting to not taste like rubbing alcohol.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:50 am (UTC)Ya know, it does sort of grow on you.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 01:58 am (UTC)[Another pull on his mug. It's getting a little warm, isn't it?]
You're sure that your claws still work here?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 02:01 am (UTC)Seems to. You given yours a shot?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 02:08 am (UTC)I haven't had reason to just yet. I probably should at least try, though.

Date: 2011-10-18 02:17 am (UTC)[He considers the surface of the liquid, reflecting the dented tin as a kaleidoscope of light. He's this close to just setting the end of a stick on fire and drawing all over the walls. This close! As if being stuck on an unnaturally squashed plane wasn't bad enough.
He's never letting his sketchbook out of his hands ever again.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 02:29 am (UTC)[Don't think he hasn't noticed you itching to draw on something, Sanae. Is he going to have to find you a pad of paper? Maybe they can make some from all of that applewood.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 02:33 am (UTC)I'm not gonna say no if you want to come taunt some dragons with me.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:03 am (UTC)[Have all of the yolks you want, Sanae. The whites are better for you anyway.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:06 am (UTC)Besides, half a mug works out to two or three shots all on its own.]
So what've you been up to? Other than keepin' an eye on Phones.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:11 am (UTC)Pissing off the natives. It's fun.
[... yeah, it's working.]

Date: 2011-10-18 03:21 am (UTC)[Considering, and then hoisting himself up a few inches to sit on the counter and grin at Josh. C'mon. Provide the rest of the story.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:22 am (UTC)[That's an honest to goodness grin there.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:24 am (UTC)It's probably too evil-sounding to be a chuckle.]
So tell me, did ya pick the title to send people off after a crappy romance, or was that part an accident?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:27 am (UTC)A complete accident. It worked better than I had hoped.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-10-18 03:30 am (UTC)You want any more of that or should I put the cap back on? Answer carefully, gettin' it off's a pain.
