[Static static, then clarity. It's just an audio post.]

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

Text; Private to Evil Ed

You've got a big big mouth.

You will be happy to know the government has allocated a percentage of your taxed income to ensure you have accommodations in an appropriate setting for just such circumstances.

I didn't know you were here.

[AVOIDANCE like the plague. HI JERRY. Fff.]

You could always try waiting in line.

I pay taxes?

[jawstheme]

And a lying piece of work.

[jawstheme]

Sleeping against sticky fingers doesn't really do it for me.

If you have something worthwhile, you might be able to trade a spot.

[jawstheme]

That's a little medieval. Has it worked for you?

[signatures]

In a few ways, sure.

[jawstheme]

You sound like a guy who's been around, guy. Do you have any other 'tips'?

[signatures]

Could always try scaling the barrier.

[jawstheme]

I don't have a lot of confidence in my impression of an East German.

[signatures]

More's the pity.

Good luck getting into wherever you're trying to get. I hear the Safe Zone is crowded and the Glass City is a bitch to get into without the proper paperwork filled out.

[Charlie. Fffff. Don't talk to this guy. What are you doing?]

[jawstheme]

That's a lot of information in one breath. What's the Glass City?

[Hehehe...oh Charlie.]

[jawstheme]

Is it worth it? Being in there?

[signatures]

If you like shelter and running water, yes.

It's just as it sounds. A city made of glass. I don't recognize your voice so I'm not sure how long you've been here. Apparently, the City's split in two. The desert with a 'safe zone' away from the monsters roaming the sand. And a city made entirely of glass. I don't...really know how else to explain that city because I've never seen it.

[She just ...makes the worst life choices. The absolute worst.]

[jawstheme]

I guess it depends on the bill.

[signatures]

None. Extras is where the bartering comes in.

audio:

[jawstheme]

Not long at all. [Have a short easy laugh for that, Charlie, because he's lying through his teeth.]

And you're in the first one? No one's really told me what makes it 'safe'.

[jawstheme]

Great, I'm a simple kind of guy. Extra's fun but nothing you need to put out for, maybe only when you've got a little to spare.

[signatures]

How pragmatic of you.

Re: audio:

Less sandworms.

[socoolbrewster]

You weren't here when I got here. I had to fend for myself.

[A few seconds later]

Where are you?
