[ Oh, hey, it's that guy from yesterday. His face is a little bruised, but he's not paying any attention to it, so you shouldn't either. Ahem. Move along. He just has a quick question, anyway: ]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has seen a notebook. I had it on me when I got here, but it's gone missing, and it's sort of important. It's red, and about this big - [ he opens his hand a few inches; it's not very big at all ] - and it has, uh -- well, it has lyrics in it, and some other notes. Kinda beat up. Can't really miss it.

So if anybody found it, or finds it, let me know. [ He raises his eyebrows knowingly; WHICHEVER FUCKER STOLE IT BETTER GIVE IT BACK. ] I'm Galen, by the way. It has my name in it, too; inside cover. Thanks.


|| ooc: Party has it, just ftr. Jerkwad. ALSO residents of House 20: Galen is now staying with you, okaythanks. ||

Still no luck, huh? [no luck because he has it...IN BED! ahaha no but seriously]

[gleans]

[ St... ares... they weren't kidding. He's still not sure he believes that this guy doesn't have it, either. ] Uh -- no. Thanks for giving the other stuff back, though. Would've been nice if you didn't take it in the first place, but. Y'know.

[gloryisbullshit]

Sorry. [A sharky grin.] Force of habit. You oughta stop carryin cash.

[gleans]

[ An unimpressed look. ] Huh, I'll remember that next time I wake up in some remote nowheretown. You steal from unconscious people a lot, tough guy?

[tooghoulforschool]

What's the reward?

[Oh hey! Long time no see. At least he's smiling this time and not sending out blind threats.]

[gleans]

[ Oh... god, he forgot about this guy. He can't very well disappear on him SO GRACEFULLY a second time, so he'll just tell himself to deal with it. ]

My gratitude? Maybe I can throw in five bucks.

[tooghoulforschool]

[Now how could you forget a face like this? He sees how uncomfortable this is, though. He wants to know why.]

Not much of an incentive. If you want your shit back, you gotta come up with something better to trade.

[afallenstar]

I haven't seen a red notebook, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

[ Be thankful Galen, it's going to be one of the few interactions sans a case of mistaken identity you're going to have. ]

You're new here, aren't you? I'm Anna.

[gleans]

Ah, thanks, I really appreciate it.

[ He smiles, glad for that. ]

Yeah, I am. Hey, Anna, I'm Galen. Which I guess I already said, buuuut, uh. How're you liking it here?

[afallenstar]

I bet it'll turn up. It isn't like anyone's dumb enough to steal from one another in a group this small.

[ Right? Hopefully, anyway. ]

Well it's nice to meet you, anyway, even if the circumstances aren't...great. [ There's a pause there, and then she returns the smile. ] You know, aside from all the weird things that happen, it's not exactly awful. I might be one of the few around here who think that, though.

Ooh, do we have ourselves another musician? That's good news. We were running out of campfire songs, and there's only so many rounds of kumbaya you can do before you need to rip out someone's throat.

[gleans]

[ An uneasy little laugh. ] Luckily for you, I guess, campfire songs aren't really my thing. Besides, I'm pretty lacking in the wholesome-sounding acoustic guitar department at the moment.

[hung_garian]

Good, I'm allergic to wholesome. What is your thing?

[manofiron]

I haven't seen it, but I'll keep an eye out. You remember where you last were when you had it?

[gleans]

Hey, thanks. I was outside house number sixteen. [ And unconscious. Ahem. He has to stop himself from touching the bruise, nudges his glasses instead. ]

[manofiron]

Out near the forest?

[ After his little jaunt into the forest, he's familiar with that side of town. ]

Okay. I need to take a walk anyway.

ACTION!

[onteamdyson]

[Suddenly there's a Kenzi, seemingly appearing out of nowhere to hit him in the arm with a decorative pillow!]

Any luck yet?!

AKSHUN

[gleans]

[ AAH. He grins and grabs for the pillow. ]

Not yet, mostly meeting some locals. You're sure that guy didn't have it?

[onteamdyson]

[He can HAVE IT! It's got birds on it and junk. Whatever, pillow.]

I'm sure! I'm like... 98.7% sure. I asked him and everything! Got my spine bruised for you, probably. [She flops down next to him. Maybe if she hadn't gotten ridiculously distracted and actually searched the room--] Maybe you dropped it.

[porcelainpride]

What happened to you?

[gleans]

Uh. Fought a bear?

[porcelainpride]

Liar.

[preytosociety]

Asking politely? That's your brilliant strategy? [Oh no. You poor baby.] This should at least prove to be entertaining.

RUUUUUDE

[gleans]

Weeeell, in my experience, that... generally works as a first tactic.

[preytosociety]

Not around here. Not with these people.

[She knows. She's tried.]

They don't think like normal, decent human beings very often.
