yeah, hey alex
sure thing
where did you wanna meet? got a place in mind? if youre still at the safehouse i can swing by there

[windowsills]

Yes, I'm at the safehouse for the next week before I move. We can meet here if it's convenient.
Do you drink alcohol? I would like to go to a bar or maybe a licensed cafe.
As a thank you. A drink, I mean.

[blyat]

either way
hell yes i drink alcohol
theres a pretty decent bar not a far walk from there
ill pick you up. what time?

[windowsills]

Ah, yes, that’d be nice. Staying in the neighbourhood.
I’ll be ready by 7:30 pm, if that isn’t too early.

[blyat]

nah not too early
you got a curfew?

[windowsills]

Ah, no. There is no pumpkin transformation to worry about.
I was just concerned that it might not be a good atmosphere.

[ hanging out with all the old fogeys who are TOO DAMN OLD to be out past 10 ]

[blyat]

im out late all the time, its not too bad
depends where you go
ill beat any weirdos off of you
if thats what youre worried about

[windowsills]

I'm not worried about that
I meant I'd like for you to have fun. If it doesn't suit your tastes I'd want you to be honest.
But I'm glad that we won't encounter any weirdos, there was a lot of that where we first met.

[blyat]

[Stop being so nice, Alex. He can't take it.]

ill have fun
we can go to a place i like. they make good drinks and have pretty good music
you mean at the convention? yeah, that shit was crazy
when i first got here we all showed up in a big underground week-long rave
makes sense they need events like that for distraction

[windowsills]

All right. I trust your judgement. Is there a dress code?
A rave is a party? I’ve never heard of one before. But a week sounds like a long time. You must have been exhausted.
Yes, that makes sense. You wouldn’t do a kidnapping so obviously.

[blyat]

not really. wear what you want.

yeah its like a party
a really bright wild energetic one with lights and music everywhere
couldve slept another week after it
hows settling in? meet anyone else friendly?

[He could let the conversation lapse until they're meant to meet, but he's enjoying the chitchat, in the meanwhile.]

[windowsills]

It sounds very exciting. Although I don’t dance so I would probably have to sit it out.
Yes. People have been very friendly and kind I’m a little shocked at the generosity here.
Do you usually buy clothing and things for.... new displaced?

[blyat]

you dont dance? why not?

nope, youre my first
usually the safehouse has got enough shit for everyone like clothes and whatever
but i really wanted clothes when i first got here too
tough to go from point a to point b without an outfit change

[windowsills]

Two left feet? I’m more of a... I like to watch.
Yes, I can see why. The costume wasn’t the best for blending in.
But maybe it wouldn’t have mattered.
Was your rave outfit just as bad?

[blyat]

nah we just had on hospital gowns
real fuckin sexy
thats how they used to dress us up before they started gettin creative with costumes and shit for disguise
who knows what itll be next time

[windowsills]

I think I now might prefer the costume. A gown sounds very inconvenient.

[ and pretty embarrassing. She has to meet up with this guy and try her best not to imagine his bare butt ]

Hopefully you found warmer clothes.
Can I ask how long your hair was before?

[blyat]

guess it was more like an outfit than a gown
uh
it had pants. and yeah i did. at the party

[Trying to save face when talking to a cute girl... he won't tell her that he stole clothes off drunk people with Heine, though.]

it was a little longer than it is now
like a couple inches
longer over my ears and in the back
why?

[windowsills]

Oh. That's good. It's better to feel confident in your clothes.
I'm sorry for being nosey, it was just curiosity.

[ and for a moment that seems like her only response but something spurs her on to write more ]

Everyone had lives and clothing that suited them and looked a certain way. Before they came here.
I was just wondering if you've changed significantly then maybe I have too. My hair was...

[ important to her. but it's way too vain to say. ]

[blyat]

hey its fine, i was the one talking about it

[A response to the first one, and then the second message:]

was it longer?
itll grow out
it probably sucks right now but you can work on buying the clothes you want again. or get completely new ones, thats what i did
dont really get to pick your outfits in the military
and theyve got tons of different shit here in the city

[windowsills]

It was long. It’s strange how that sort of thing can be comforting, isn’t it? I didn’t think I was the type of person to get attached to something like that.

[ seems like Cain isn’t the only one that can’t help spilling some private thoughts ]

I’m sorry, we should change the subject. This isn’t the best topic to start a fun evening.

[blyat]

like i said, its fine
youre not the only one
did you know i used to have blue in my hair?

[windowsills]

Blue? The entire thing?

[blyat]

haha!
no no
just a few strands in the front
fuck id look so bad with all blue hair

[windowsills]

Are you sure? I think it would be striking.
If you dye it again I’d like to see it.
It’s such a nice colour, like a clear sky.

[blyat]

[That's... unexpectedly sweet.]

more like the color of a lightning storm
you ever seen one of those?
