talk to watson and baby bro, then
think the wifey was in on it, too
didn't get anywhere
but trying counts for something, i guess

i was about as aware as i usually am
i saw it was wilson
one of the guys i know from back home
soon as it touched me i was out

[holmesice]

[Of course they would be in on it. He's not one bit surprised, now.]

Any other thing of note? Anything different?

[rubikscomplex]

not for the feelings
but the creature's never actually eaten me before
or if it has
that's never been recorded

[holmesice]

...that's very interesting. Something of note, at least. Why would it eat you, when there are so many other ways it could kill you?

[rubikscomplex]

that's what every anomaly's done since we've been here
we got some dream snippets about the town wanting to swallow us whole
and that's what the anomalies do
so maybe they're the town
~ooooooooo~

but srsly
the anomalies only ever eat one person
so that's weird as hell if it went for a twofer

[holmesice]

[How very odd. But it still gets a scoff from him. Yes, he was judging the town's murdery inclinations, so many more efficient and less lurid means of disposal.]

Regardless of if it did consume me or not, it still killed me.

[A frown. He doesn't like being part of a new trend. Was it something he did? Was wearing? The location?]

[rubikscomplex]

should've just stopped with me
but something to keep in mind
i'll think about it more and get back to you later
don't die again in the meantime

[holmesice]

[A hum of acknowledgement. And then, before hanging up--] Please also consider taking your own advice.

get bent, mikey

[He disconnects.]
