[And in the middle of the night, there's a loud gasping breath of air as a body moves from a bed.]

Nick-- [A breath. Wasn't she just sitting in a chair? With a gun? Just how long was she out?

A pause. A long pause.

And soon there would be the cocking of a gun, footsteps moving across her floor, and a door opening. Minutes would pass before Kalinda finds herself sitting on her bed, glaring down at the open journal at her side.

In an annoyed, tired, and subtly frustrated tone masked in neutrality, she'll continue the accidental dictation with full intention.]

And here I thought I was home.

_{(ooc. open, via journal! yeeee-- OH YEAH SHE HAS A LOSS CHANGE NOW LET ME JUST MAKE AN OOC POST ABOUT THAT.)}

One month for three, yeah? I'm still trying to find a pattern to these little comas people take, but it doesn't look like there is one.

ouo

[kalinda]

There's not much a pattern to anything here, really.

uou

[20thcentury]

I've got a bit of a stubborn streak. So I'll probably look for a little while longer.

o3o

[kalinda]

I don't blame you. Ever since I've arrived, I've been trying to make sense of this place, but... [Shrug.] Well, I'm sure you know.

o\\\o

[20thcentury]

There isn't much in the way of answers.

:U

[kalinda]

And unanswered questions are the most annoying things, in any world.

U:

[20thcentury]

That could be the point. Stringing us along like a sociopath, this place.

[kalinda]

How have you been dealing with it? Personally.

[20thcentury]

I like to get things done, me. So yeah, it's a bit frustrating.

[kalinda]

We're one and the same, then.

What do you do to let off the steam?

[20thcentury]

I've got my hobbies. Most of them involve alcohol.

[kalinda]

Good to know. [Pause.] My drinking partner's left, though...

[20thcentury]

Oh, does that mean you're in the market for a replacement?

[kalinda]

If you're willing.

[20thcentury]

I'm nearly always ready, sunbeam.

[kalinda]

Typically, I'd only frequent bars after a long day or to get information-- but I can be talked into visiting one for other reasons.

[20thcentury]

And how would I talk you into such a thing?

[kalinda]

Easy. Just ask.

[20thcentury]

Oh, easy. I like that.

How about we go down the pub, in that case? It sounds like you could use it anyway. [Coming out of a magical coma doesn't sound fun!]

[kalinda]

[Not THAT kind of easy, GOSH.]

Use it? Definitely. I might need to collect myself first, but... [Is it normal to not feel very groggy after a magical sleep?] Yeah.

[20thcentury]

[BUT WHY NOT!]

Take your time. I'll get a head start.

[kalinda]

[Chuckles.]

It's your tab, not mine.

[20thcentury]

I'm feeling generous.

[kalinda]

That sounds promising.

[She's shuffling about because gosh she needs new clothes and oh man she probably needs a shower after a month of sleep I mean come on!]

Okay, see you in a few.

[20thcentury]

Take your time. I'll be at the Death Match. [Because the location is convenient!

And she'll be waiting...............!]
