Was anyone else working at that Pie Shop in town other than Sam? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure he went home. I checked his room and his name's gone and those huge dogs aren't around either.

Anyway, the pie shop has been pretty dead looking. Maybe I'm just going at the wrong times.

[She realizes as she's saying it that she's not the best person to relay news like that. Buried underneath her food cravings.] -- I just really wanted pie...

[She's not sure what else to say.]

I mean, no one wants me trying to bake a pie. I'd probably burn down the kitchen.

There's a pie shop here?

[SORRY DEMARCO, TOO LATE!]

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, in the city. The Pie Hole.

It was good, but the guy that ran it went home.

[majestic_leader]

That's a shame. It's been a long time since I've had any pie.

[msattentionspan]

I'm sure someone else is working there. I just don't know who... and why haven't you had pie?

[majestic_leader]

Military rations. Even in the downtime they've got us on a pretty short culinary leash.

[msattentionspan]

Sounds like it sucks. I was in prison, food isn't so good there either.

[majestic_leader]

Ho, you wouldn't mind telling me what you were in for, if you ... don't mind my asking?

[msattentionspan]

Actually, I do mind.

[majestic_leader]

Alrighty, mysterious lady, I will not ask again.

So ... You, uh ... been here long?

[msattentionspan]

I'm Faith and I've been here almost two years.

[majestic_leader]

I bet you've got quite the insider's look after that sort of stay, huh?

I'm Spartan Paul DeMarco, by the way. Newly arrived, if you couldn't tell from the fresh new-car smell.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, I guess. I don't live in the castle though -- and the journal doesn't smell.

[majestic_leader]

Well, no, it was just a matter of speech. Although, I wouldn't be surprised, these journals sure are something.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, they open on their own sometimes. I put mine away when I'm not gonna need it.

[majestic_leader]

Really? Well that's got to be annoying. Thanks for the warning!

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, sure.
