Rat | 001 | Video | Day 68

[bluesrat]

[It's pretty clear from the video that the device has been turned on by accident, since the first view is partly up someone's nose. It's not a small nose, but a squinting blue eye quickly replaces it as the central focus, before the video pulls out to show the whole, narrow, lined face. The owner of the face mutters, half to himself, but clearly audible over the sounds of the water on the shore nearby.]

Hunh. It didn't do that before.

[There's another startling moment of video while he taps the screen with one calloused finger.]

Calling Dick Tracy? I don't know where Cape Kore is or how I got here, but I'm pretty sure you don't want me. If anyone's listening, I'd be glad for directions to the train station, and I'll just be on my way.

Sounds downright neighborly.

Yeah, something like that. Anyway, my unsolicited advice is that you should probably find somewhere to stay, first. Then you can worry about the food situation.

Re: Voice

Guess so. I'll take a look around town. It seemed like a ghost town, the first go-around.

There're houses around, but you might have to make nice with someone and find a roommate.

Re: Voice

[bluesrat]

I try to be nice. I like people.

Re: Voice

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Then you'll probably be fine. Liking people seems to be important around here.

Re: Voice

[bluesrat]

I... know that not everybody does. But thanks for the advice and help!

Re: Voice

Good luck. I'll see you around.

Re: Voice

Thanks, and likewise!
