[Jake had a lot of questions, and it was like a blast from the past to suddenly be around other people, to have a phone and wi-fi and all of the things that came with living in a town. No longer would he be huddled around a campfire in-between the Entity's calls. Maybe.]

Is this place really outside of the Entity's realm?

Has anyone here even HEARD of the Entity?

[Please, tell him he was safe. Tell him there would be no more running and torture, death and dying.]

Oh. Are you why they told me there were no more spots for a mechanic? I'm a cashier there. I think. I'm pretty good at fixing things. Breaking them, too.

[calmspirit]

Like spider legs. Big, black, pointy. It's almost enough to make a guy into an arachnophobe.

Maybe Adam works there fixing stuff too he's nice but kinda grumpy acts like twice his age so like if you need an adult for something he's close enough

I have no idea who that is, but I'll keep that in mind?

Wait, how old are you then??

You're a kid. I'm 26. And I'm living in my trailer, which apparently ended up here with me.

I am seven teen my dude practically legal

[calmspirit]

Uh-huh. You're still pretty young, though.

...Does this mean I'm getting old? Is this what getting old feels like?

text | un: mischief

[yourbatman]

You sound like my dad

So yes very old ancient even

But its okay you seem cool not as cool as my arms dealer friend but definitely cooler than the guy that threatened to rip my throat out with his teeth

[iseegoblins]

I can get that. But if something like that does you won't be alone against it.

Sounds like a nightmare. Does the campfire offer some sort of protection?

text | un: survivalist

[calmspirit]

Thanks.

Why do you have an arms dealer friend?

[calmspirit]

Sometimes being alone is better.

I think so. The Entity never bothers us at the campfire. Though it could always be luring us into a false sense of security.

[iseegoblins]

Why do you think that?

Unless it usually uses psychological warfare then it's probably a safe guess to assume it may not like fire. Though I guess that fire could be something special. Do you know where it came from?

[yourbatman]

Because my best friend was dating his daughter he's actually super cool

[calmspirit]

Because when you're alone you don't have to watch other people suffer.

Hm. I never tried bringing fire from the camp into a trial with me. Maybe I should have. And I've got no idea where it came from.

[That wasn't the answer he'd been expecting. He didn't know what he'd been expecting, actually.]

I see. He's not here, is he?

text | un: mischief

[yourbatman]

Not as far as I know but I'm not sure he'd come find me if he did show up here he's not exactly the friendliest guy when he thinks shits about to go down great to have him in a pinch though

I'm not sure how well weapons would do against the Entity but it'd be comforting to have people who were armed here. Or who knew their way around weapons.

[yourbatman]

You should get a baseball bat they're pretty effective and legally more deadly than a gun

[calmspirit]

[He'd bring up the fact that he used to have a walking stick back home, but 'I had a stick' would sound...incredibly stupid. Even if that walking stick had saved him from snakes and bear traps before.]

I might look into that. I'm not much of a gun guy, anyway.

text | un: mischief

[yourbatman]

Yanno for being the default they're kinda shitty weapons too I've never shot one but the kickback seems a bit much to me

[dynamitedarling]

Well, we shall be on our guard, yes? Yes.

Best of luck settling in. Enjoy the reprieve!

[wantadistraction]

Oh. Yeah, that sounds horrible.

But no, I haven't seen anything like that here yet.

text | un: survivalist

[calmspirit]

I guess the people who use them all the time are used to that. Sucks for beginners, though.

[calmspirit]

Better safe than sorry, yeah.

And thank you. Things are going to take some getting used to here.
