So, I'm still new here so I thought I could ask.

If you can't contact somebody and you can't find them around the island, does that mean they've gone back home? Or something's happened to them? Or something else entirely?

Comments

[peckish4action]

So you traveled around? Cool!

[easy_a]

Er, no. What I meant was I wasn't stuck in the same place /because/ there was no way out. Actually, I was stuck because of community service, but that's a different story entirely.

[peckish4action]

What did you do?

If you want to tell it, it's okay. But if you don't, that's okay, too.

But, yeah, being stuck here is kind of a bummer. Have you explored the entire island?

[easy_a]

Not like I have much to hide.

[Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha hahaha.]

Cop pulled me over on my way to a second party; I was drunk, so I was arrested and sent to court. Ended up with an ASBO.

A bit, yeah. Can't really go into the forests, and frankly, I don't exactly want to; hiking isn't my thing. Least the beaches are nice.

[peckish4action]

Ouch. At least nobody got hurt and community service will be done with, eventually?

And gotcha. You like swimming, or just sunbathing?

[easy_a]

Community service was cut short because of this place. Pretty much the only thing New Moore has ever been good for.

Sunbathing. I'm not much of a swimmer.

[peckish4action]

Right! There is that.

Noted! Careful and don't skimp on the sunscreen?

[easy_a]

You got it.

Though sunscreen doesn't do shit for tanning, so that only goes on after I'm done.

[peckish4action]

It does help with not getting skin cancer, though. I'd say that takes precedence over tanning.

[easy_a]

eh, a day of tanning aint gonna kill anyone

[peckish4action]

Except you don't know *which* one day isn't going to be a killer.

[easy_a]

hey, if you want to be pasty, all the more power to you. i'm not "naturally pale" so a bit of color works better for me. then again, i'm from england; we don't get strong sunlight except for a few days a year.

pretty sure i'll be fine if i go out on the days when the weather makes me think of home.

[peckish4action]

Hey, I'm not quite pasty, either, and I grew up in a circus that traveled all over the world, so I'm used to having some tan.

[Less so in recent years, but still.]

[Besides, he just had to type the next bit, and, yes, he's grinning as he does so.]

Trust me on the sunscreen.

[easy_a]

circus? seriously? you a clown or...?

and trust me when i say i'm fine with tanning for a few minutes before i put it on.

[peckish4action]

Nah, I'm an acrobat. Aerialist. Trapeze. Up high under the top and all of that.

[easy_a]

that's actually really fucking cool

you still do that stuff around new moore?

[peckish4action]

You kidding? I'd go nuts without at least some time in the gym.

[easy_a]

remind me to stop by sometime. i've never seen legit acrobatics in person

[peckish4action]

Aye, aye! Usually five in the afternoon is a regular time.

[easy_a]

then i'll be sure to stop in during one of my days off, yeah?

[peckish4action]

You are absolutely and wholeheartedly welcome!

[easy_a]

then i guess i'll see you around, yeah?

[peckish4action]

That'll be a yes, thank you, see you when you get 'round to it and I'm looking forward to that!
