Text; un: survivalist

[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's very helpful. I appreciate it.

I guess being stuck here is better than being stuck with the Entity, at any rate.

I live to serve but yeah the cookies are fire did the old guy give you cookies they're super ducking good

I'd been wondering why I got cookies.

[He hadn't...eaten any yet, because he'd been worried they were a trap or something. It'd been so long since he'd had anything like baked goods.]

Does everyone get them?

I dunno probably tho Jerry seems like the kinda guy who'd keep em if you were a jerk he threatened to keep mine until I said sorry I kinda talk a lot

Really, I never would have guessed.

My name's Jake, by the way.

Yeah that attitude is what gets people wanting to take a bit out of you man I'm stiles I work at the fix it place in town so like if your shit ever gets broke bring it over since I'm somehow not fired

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.

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??

17/m/the apartments old man cookie monster sent me to

I

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

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

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

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

Thanks.

Why do you have an arms dealer friend?

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

[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?

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.

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

[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.

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

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

Yeah dad says you get used to it I just wish he would let me practice but he won't let me learn to shoot he says the academy can deal with it but I think he's just a chicken

Maybe he just doesn't want you to accidentally hurt yourself.
