Trevor Kirby has opened communication!

[Somebody was tossing his communicator in the air while he tried to think of how to explain himself, but somebody happened to bobble the thing and turn it on (but not drop it!) in the process. So now somebody is giving the camera a somewhat panicked look.]

Shit. I didn't— uh. I mean, hi. I'm... Trevor. But that's not, that doesn't matter. What matters is, has anybody else figured out how we're doing the food thing? Because I don't really have a lot in my place, or any money really. I've been trying to look around, though. Or if anybody needs help doing... whatever it is you've got to do with nobody around, let me know?

Y-you think...?

[itemfinder]

Definitely. But hopefully without the dehydration and dangerous situations.

[biomagnet]

[ He turns his head enough to give Chivy a curious, questioning look. ]

[itemfinder]

The Pilgrimage sucked, okay. Jungle cats and attack robots and sandstorms. And then a ravine, right at the end, as if everything else wasn't bad enough.

Plus it... the City is really... empty.

[biomagnet]

Attack robots?

... they said something wiped everyone out. So s' true?

[itemfinder]

[He just... nods. There is really nothing to say to that that isn't repeating "attack robots".]

I... um. Supposedly I worked for a daycare? And it's just.. it's creepy. The streets being empty isn't so bad, but it's all still... there, like they'll all just show up again one day.

[biomagnet]

[ His lips twitch. ]

You did. S'posedly.

[itemfinder]

Hey. [bit of a scarf tug] 'We', pretty soon here. Unless you're going to hide out in the Library forever.

[biomagnet]

[ He grunts at the tugging, then tries his best not to pout. ]

S' that an option?

[itemfinder]

No idea, you'd have to ask. Why, you like it here?

[biomagnet]

Attack robots.

[itemfinder]

[Yes, okay, point.]

Why can't you just... take the train?

[biomagnet]

I checked it out when I heard 'bout it. [ He tilts his head, letting it thunk against the shelf. ] My card won't let me in.

[itemfinder]

That's really stupid.

[biomagnet]

Like nothing else here is?

[itemfinder]

Hey, zero argument here. Hard to come up with something that isn't.

[biomagnet]

Wonder if it goes both ways...

[itemfinder]

What do you mean?

[biomagnet]

If I can't leave by train, s' that mean you can't leave by foot?

[itemfinder]

Huh. I don't know, good question. Not sure I'd want to try.

[biomagnet]

[ Here Chivy gets a light fwap from the scarf tail that he isn't holding. There's a pause, then Sefton's lips twitch. ]

Can't really blame you.

[itemfinder]

[Chivy laughs, waving his free hand in a tardy attempt at defense.]

Maybe I just don't want you to miss out on the fun.

[biomagnet]

You can't actually think it was fun. Nobody can get hit that hard in the head.

[itemfinder]

Where's your sense of adventure? Danger's supposed to be exciting.

[biomagnet]

Had plenty of danger back... [ Pause. His gaze flickers past Chivy toward the rest of the library. ] Before.
