So, this isn't my first time being here, I've learned. I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing but there's a few of you that know me and I don't know anything about you except what I've learned in the last few weeks.

You all probably know more about me than I know about you and that's weird. Nothing I can do about it but it's weird all the same. I half want to make lists of what you know about me so I can compare and contrast. I'm not going to though. You guys deserve to keep those memories of him — me — for yourselves.

Sorry that I'm not him, though.

Anyway, I'm not smart enough to really have an explanation on why this happened. I don't know if I was here and had my memories wiped and then got sent back. Pretty clear that messing with heads is pretty normal here and it wouldn't be a stretch where I come from either. But is there a way to test for that without cracking my head open?

Or I could be totally different person which just gets into science stuff that's above my pay grade. But I can't rule it out. Two of me. No one wants that, though. I don't know which explanation I really prefer either.

I need a drink.

[ for a few reasons. it feels like he's been barely hanging on for awhile now and this whole side trip to a futuristic society was really testing his ability to stay afloat. ]

Where's a good place to get a drink?

I'll spare you the multiverse primer.

What's your drink of choice?

Re: @kylo.ren

[heliophilous]

Coffee usually but I've heard that's not really a thing here.
After that, I don't care. Something strong, maybe.

[warfares]

It's a thing.

( rare and expensive and almost certainly not worth the credits, particularly given the quality, but. it's definitely a thing. )

Slow Lime, First Round and No Holds Barred tend to offer decent liquor. Discreet, too. If you don't mind the obvious gang presence.

Happy Rabbit, Sun + Moon and Robillet offer better liquor and food. Pricier, though.

[heliophilous]

Cheap stuff's going to be the thing.
I haven't had a chance to get a job yet.

[ so, he was broke as a joke right now. ]

[warfares]

Do you still have your ID?

[heliophilous]

From home?

[warfares]

From the last time you were here.

[heliophilous]

I've never been here before.

[ semantics but he's going to die on that hill. ]

[warfares]

That doesn't answer my question.
If you still have it, it means you will have access to, among other things, any funds the prior version of you may have had.

[heliophilous]

I haven't even tried.
It's not my money anyway.

[warfares]

Do you really think he'll mind it being used?

( assuming there is any money to be used. )

[heliophilous]

No.
But I mind using it.

[ that felt a little too weird for him. ]

[warfares]

You're already using it.
You came in with the last group, yes? The one at the carnival?

[heliophilous]

No.
I got here when everyone was stuck in the snow.
I've been here a month or so now.

[warfares]

I see.
Pick a place and I'll spot you the credits.

[heliophilous]

Someone recommended the Dorado.
You know it?

[warfares]

No, but it should be easy enough to find.

( the wonders of technology. )

[heliophilous]

Yeah.

[ he still hates the implant. ]

You wanna do this right now?

[warfares]

Are you at the safehouse?

[heliophilous]

Yeah.
No money to go anywhere else yet.

[warfares]

I'll be there in ten minutes.

[heliophilous]

It's not like I'm going anywhere.

[ but he would get out of his room and go wait out in public view so kylo could see him. ]
