Greetings, fellow children of the apocalypse and working stiffs.

[Eddie waggles his fingers at the screen. There's a dopey, easy grin on his face, but the bags under his eyes tell a different story.]

Say a guy misses curfew- by three minutes- and gets locked outta the apartments. What's the best place to hole up for a night? Hypothetically.

[He's starting to think this ADI housing deal was the wrong choice. It feels so weird, not being able to come and go as he pleases. Stifling.

That's almost it, until Eddie clicks his fingers and rocks back towards the camera-]

Oh, and purely in the interest of my long term sanity, if anybody here plays DnD, I'm taking party applications. So. Show me what you've got.

[Uhhhhhhhh. Huh. Alright. That's- he hasn't seen that before, actually! Thanks for asking!

But it's not fucking cool to just stare, and Eddie's seen a bunch of other weird shit by now, so he blinks the stupid out of his face and tries to be casual about this.]

Just uh, just my luck, huh? Someone who actually knows what DnD is, and they've got zero interest. Anyway. You're wrong! There's a difference between this and a fantasy world.

I mean, yeah, the monsters lose some of their charm once you've been fucking attacked by them or if you're already, uh familiar- look, to me, it's more about low stakes comradery. Telling a story and drawing people into it. But that's just me, you could be in it for uh, for a totally...

[He can't.]

Nope! No. Can't do it! Really thought I could be cool about it! Are you a hologram? Robot ghost? Just really purple?

[failedpromise]

(She blinks. Then she laughs. You tried, buddy.)

UNSC Smart AI CTN 0452-9 at your service. Though you can call me Cortana.

I'm technically a hologram, though with the way things work around here I suppose "robot ghost" works equally well as an explanation.
