Hi.

First things first this isnt going to be a lecture. Tensions are high enough and Ive barely been here long enough to have the whole history down yet. (Working on it) Besides, you've already herd plenty of it. So this isnt about that.

[ Not overtly, anyway. He's trying to do the "subtlety" thing. He's not taking notes or anything. ]

I'm Doug by the way. Mostly I'm trying to figure everything out still, you know. That sort of thing. I'm a curious and openminded sort of person wich is why I have some questions:

1. Whats your favorite thing about being here?
2. And least favorite thing?
3. If you had to make up 1 rule what would it be?
4. Why's the coffee so bad & Are there vending machines (where)?

Thank you thats all.

Im too honest a guy for that.

[ He isn't at all. ]

I could do both. Help & snacks. What kind do you like?

[invocation]

[hold on, she's switching to voice.]

What? You serious? You don't even know me.

[mallarkey]

[ Clings stubbornly to text for now. ]

Yeah I'm serious. Why not? if Im going anyway, saves a trip.

[invocation]

If you say so...

[she sounds reluctant, maybe a little suspicious. Eventually, though:] There's no sweets up here other than those protein bars.

[mallarkey]

[ The offer was a little impulsive, but he doesn't mind having something more to do than stress miserably. ]

Are you more a cake or a candy person?

[invocation]

Candy's easier to carry around.

[...] Hey. You're not one of those weird perverts, are you?

[mallarkey]

[ Wow rude. ]

God. No. I didnt even know who you were before I offered!

[invocation]

[She is the rudest person.]

Just making sure. Some random person offers me candy, I gotta be careful.

[mallarkey]

Well, its good to be cautious. Im just trying to be friendly.

[invocation]

Yeah, I got it. I'll take your word for it now.

[A super kind thing for her to do after someone gives her food.] If I gotta return the favor, what kinda coffee do you drink anyway?

[mallarkey]

You don't gotta. Theres no gotta. But anything thats fresh. Im not that picky even instant is OK as long as it doesnt taste dusty and freezedried.

[invocation]

Got it. I got a mission to some place called 'Walmart' soon.

If I remember, I'll pick somethin' up.

[mallarkey]

We can go to Walmart? That makes it 100 times simpler. They got almost everything there.

[invocation]

They do? Never been there. I just wanted to get snacks.

[mallarkey]

Well- alot of things. Snacks and coffee definately.

[invocation]

Good. Then it won't be a waste of time. Most of the places they send us to are boring.

[mallarkey]

I wouldnt call it interesting exactly but youll probably find whatever you're looking for. Worth it enough.

[invocation]

If it's worth it, then it's fine.

I'll find your coffee. Where do I drop it off?

[mallarkey]

Thanks. Thats thoughtful you know its alright if you dont. Room 150. What about you?
