no. there's a girl here that really liked talkin about it
dunno if she's still here haven't seen her in a while

[involuntary]

Oh, okay. It's just a bit strange, that's all.

[masticated]

you're pulled from your world into this one and you wanna tell me a talking library is strange, lot?

[involuntary]

Both of those things can be weird, it's not like the kidnapping stops the talking library from being odd.

I don't know, it's just interesting. I'd like to learn more about it, I guess.

[masticated]

it's all odd, sweetheart.
you wanna leave it something to do for you? people do that you know.

[involuntary]

I didn't ask it for anything, just gave it something.

What would you ask for?

[masticated]

[hm...]

what did you give it?
live long enough and you don't need a special gift from a tube

[not true, he wants plenty of things from the library but he won't be telling her.]

[involuntary]

Just a message, that's all.

[ just casually leaving out the 'in my own blood' part that's probably vastly more relevant... ]

There's really nothing? How old are you, then?

[masticated]

a message in a bottle from sweet little lottie? did you get a message back?

time gets fucked up around here. cold war ring a bell?

[involuntary]

A smiley face. Maybe everyone gets one of those though, I don't know.

Yes, but that ended a few years ago now. Were you involved?

[masticated]

[what the fuck]

how cute :)

damn, you're behind! what are you in the 90s?
i was an agent in russia while all that shit was happening off the coast. US of A had me over there just in case. didn't work out for them cause i got bored.

[involuntary]

It's '96, yeah. Or well, I suppose it's '97 now, the details are a little bit fuzzy.

That sounds scary, were you there all that time? How does that work?

[masticated]

because of your time in the forest?

[he hasn't talked about this in a loooong time.]

do i look like someone who gets scared? not my style.
but i was there for a while. shit got intense after i went awol. made a mess behind enemy lines, it was fun.

[involuntary]

Yeah. It's hard to tell how much time has passed, there's seasons, but you know. I'm not really sure how long it's been.

What kind of mess? Can I ask that? You don't have to answer, if it's personal.

[masticated]

yeah yeah. i don't think about it cause it doesn't really matter.

[it does matter but if he thinks about it too hard he starts feeling crazier, faster.]

the kind of mess that made their government and "my" government real upset. didn't belong to anybody after all that
not until raíz picked me up.
