Not a fan of these weekends. Too crowded and too many cases of mistaken identity.

Most of you're better off just heading inside somewhere to stay warm. Probably won't be here long. Assuming the pattern sticks as usual.

You've been here that long. [ It's not phrased as a question, but it might as well be. ] And the ticking?

[dropkick]

Long enough.

[ Which, strangely, isn't to say he wouldn't stay longer if posed the question, which unsettles him enough he decides to stop thinking about it. ]

Goes away with company. Or a pet.

[credential]

[ Long enough implies a time when you'd thought it wouldn't get to this, in Barsad's opinion. Hm. ]

And if I have neither?

[ he pauses; and though the video function isn't on here, he arches a brow at the follow-up question. there is a seriousness in the tonality he's not sure what to make of. ]

48 hours isn't gonna drive you crazy.

But otherwise just...find a busy place. That's usually enough. For a while.

[credential]

[ Everything should have a purpose, or at least a goal. Anything otherwise is a waste of time. ]

Forty-eight hours is still two days.

I doubt there would be many people about in this weather.

[dropkick]

You'd be surprised. Winter's tail's usually when people get restless. They go out in all kinds of elements. Curses included.

Compared to other things, an influx of people is nothing. They'll be out.

Pick a cafe. Or try the library.

[ He adds the last as an afterthought, personally biased towards it for how much quieter it is yet still with enough bodies bumbling about that as he recalls the ticking would dull impressively. ]

[credential]

Curses?

[ Of what kind, he doesn't ask. The word in itself is ominous enough, weighted as it is by how and when he got here. ]

Can the dead be fed in this city?
