sorry about the well…

[rezni]

Was it you who got the drop on me?

[guitarpicks]

no but i never went looking

[rezni]

It's alright. I'm not holding it against you.

By all accounts, we weren't easy to find.

[guitarpicks]

it was still fucked up. i knew where you were, we all did

that was the point though… yeah…

i’m still sorry
are u alright now
with everything

[rezni]

I don't think I was the most affected by what happened.

I should be asking you, really.

[guitarpicks]

affected at all is too affected, man

i don’t want to talk about myself and how it’s fucked me up

[rezni]

My head is absolutely fine. Quentin patched me back together. No lasting damage.

We don't have to speak of what happened. But we could, if you ever wish to. I've no judgement for you.

[guitarpicks]

he’s good with all that

later? maybe? i have a mountain of judgement for me. have you been working on any inventions lately? or thinking about anything? i’d… i’d rather hear about that

[rezni]

[ a hum of consideration fills the space between them, eventually resolving into: ]

Daryl explained his motorcycle to me earlier this month. Before things began to happen.

I've been thinking of whether or not I could build my own, if I couldn't persuade him to show me how to ride his.

[guitarpicks]

yeah? it's easier than a flying ship, i think
those things are chick magnets back home ( also delinquent magnets )

just butter him up
bike guys love showing off their bikes

[rezni]

I'm not unfamiliar.
I've no bike, but I was very proud of my ship when I had her.

I've been trying to think whether or not I'd be able to build something here.
Do you think bike guys would be interested in flight as well, or do their interests tend to be more narrow?

[guitarpicks]

a man of many talents, huh?

they probably want to stay on the ground?
but the faster the bike can go the better
aim for speed

[rezni]

Speed is more difficult here. The terrain, it's lacking.
And it doesn't seem as if they're inclined to begin investing in paved roads.

But I'll think on it. Something will come to us, sooner or later.

[guitarpicks]

gotta invent better wheelers and like... modern engines

i believe in you, dude

[rezni]

You'll have first look at whatever I manage.

Once I have my current project up and running, I'm going to see if I can get myself some sort of workspace proper.
Which reminds me, how is your greenhouse coming along

[guitarpicks]

i know... a lot about cars and stuff so sure

oh
it's... i mean the greenhouse part is ready
we got the windows all set up right before things went to shit
so maybe we'll have some fruit in the winter
won't that be novel, huh?

[rezni]

You'll be popular, if you manage it.

Would you take me to see it?
I think we can assume things will stay quiet for at least the next week or so.

[guitarpicks]

i hope so...
maybe it'll help me rebuild the shatters of my reputation

yeah, come by sometime
i'm staying out next to it ( the week sadly will not be quiet for him because his girlfriend is dying... )

[rezni]

I'll come within the week, I promise.

[ except then jem dies, so. ]

[guitarpicks]

cool. see u soon

( rain check to feb, buddy? or it’s just haunted eyes staring into the middle distance from this guy )
