[ HEY HE'S IN HIS DUMB LITTLE CABIN OUT BY HIS TRANQUIL LAKE; IT'S LOVELY, IT'S COVERED IN DUST; THERE ARE BOTTLES OF VODKA EVERYWHERE ]

Are any of you people even still alive?

[ He lifts a dusty bottle. ]

Come take one of these, if so. Congratulate yourself on surviving the apocalypse. We are -- [ he drinks deeply; it is possible he has been doing this for a while. for six years ] -- as gods. Or roaches, perhaps.

So that's where all the vodka keeps going.

[respired]

The safest possible place.

[boughtabookstore]

I consider myself an equally safe place, frankly.

But so long as it's an equal divide we can agree to disagree on that.

All this time, and you were holding out.
For shame.

[respired]

Hardly, Seviilia. You need only ask.

[miscreant]

Well, as long as you are coming up here any way.
You are coming up here, aren't you?

[Maybe she can sneak back down and kill someone when he isn't looking.]

[fintastic]

Yes, I am! And I plan to stay that way for as long as possible.

[ Snrk. ]

What about you?

[respired]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ He shakes his head. ]

Well, alive isn't the right term for me, as you know ... but I press on.

[aves]

Define "alive" and do we really have to be? Because I'm pretty sure the grave ain't gonna stop me from a stiff drink or ten.

[respired]

Breathing, existing. One or the other.

[ He shrugs. ]

Climb out and come here, then.

[selfloyalty]

Or neither.

[respired]

Oh? What shall it be otherwise, then?

[doppelgeist]

I'm... alive, but I think I missed the apocalypse. Not really a candidate for godhood, or roachood.

[respired]

Living in a place such as this is a feat in and of itself, particularly for those of you with actually beating hearts. I merely praise persistence.

Is that even safe to drink? For people other than you, that is.

[respired]

Of course. It's just alcohol. Not lighter fluid.

[darkov]

Well, uh-- [BEEP BEEP GLOWMARTY HERE DON'T LET THE SMOL SAD ICONS CONFUSE U] I don't think I did that great the last time I tried any of that. You can have one for me?

my son

[respired]

I have cream soda for you, Martin.

[hornedomen]

I'm here.
