Hey. Anybody want to let a guy in? It's dark out and I could use the cover.

More people? Safety in numbers?

If that works for you, sure.

[It hardly works for her. For reasons.]

[jawstheme]

Does it work for you?

[Seems like a legit question to ask.]

Re: audio:

[charring]

Depends on the people.

[Trust issues. She has them by the ton.]

[Could be the sound of a laugh here.] Do you even like people?

Honest answer? Not until after I came here. Call me wary at best. Or Charlie. That works, too.

Charlie.

[It sounds like he's only trying her name on his own tongue but there's more to it. Charlie, friends with Evil Ed, Charlie a girl, not Charley the boy. Intriguing. Already he fancies a taste test.]

Jerry.

[She has a theory she's made of ghost peppers, Jerry.]

Nice to meet you. [This is just manners. Her parents raised her right for the little time they had her.]

The pleasure's mine, Charlie. You've been here long?

Since August. I pretty much hate it for the most part. [Well, except for the opportunities to have friends and family and hold still and not worry about the shit in her own life. So, essentially, her saying she hates it here? Big fat lie.]

[jawstheme]

[He's gathering the very same impression by way of how willing she is to carry on conversations with strangers like Jerry.]

That's a long time.

[Call her curious. She has, unfortunately, learned to let barriers down. Silly girl.]

I guess.
