{6th Outbreak; text}

Everyone else got the invitation to the Mayor's right? Gotta be some catch there. Knowing this place. But it isn't like we can usually get in there? So it might be worth checking out?

Maybe. Not that it'd stop me bringing at least a knife or something on me just in case. I always do anyway, but still. Can't be too careful. I mean probably the Mayor'd take that and my pistol off of me but. Can't hurt to try, to try be safer rather than sorry.

Also. I guess I've been thinking a lot. About this place. About how some of us might want to go home and others might want to stay and how it isn't like we have control over that yet but. Maybe it's just me, because of everything back home but. Some parts here? Aren't so bad. I know it's. Well, it's a lot but. We have enough food (October aside and even then we shared it around and we all got through it.) there's beds and housing for everyone. School. Work. Things I took for granted and hadn't really thought on much if at all back home since the outbreak, that feel like another lifetime.

But. AJ is back home. If I had the choice? If I had to? I'd give all that up. For him.

I guess I just wonder. With the layers that seem to be breaking down. If we might be getting closer. But I guess others probably have a better idea on it all in comparison to me in having been around longer and poked around more. Thoughts?

I got the invitation too. I don't know. I want to go check it out, but it feels like it is probably be a trick or something too. I think going prepared for anything is probably a smart plan.

I haven't been around that long either, but a lot of what's happening right now - like things falling from the sky? That's end of the world stuff back home. I don't know if we'll get a choice in staying here or not, or if we'll just wake up, or...

I wish there was an easy answer, especially for the people who know they want to stay here, but I don't think there is.

Oh there's sure to be some kind of trap or catch or something. Gotta be a reason he invited us. I won't go without back up and my knife and pistol.

End of the world. Feels like I already went through that back home. In the walker sense. Not things falling from the sky sense.

Yeah, it's pretty suspicious. It's smart to go prepared, and with help for sure. I'm not sure traditional weapons are gonna help, but they're better than nothing. Probably best to be prepared for anything. I bet whatever the Mayor is gonna pull, it's not gonna be simple to get out of it.

End of the world for us back home can mean a lot of different things - everything from total destruction to world being sucked into a hell dimension to hell being unleashed on us.

What are walkers?

Aside from those I have that meat cleaver thing Louis gave me for my birthday.

I am not sure I want to ask on your end of the worlds.

But for me. It's walkers. Basically the dead not staying dead and shambling around biting and eating us. We're all infected. However we die, we turn. Unless someone deals with us first.

I guess I wouldn't take anything I'd be afraid of losing, just in case. There's some weapons here, but they're kinda obvious. I'm probably better off sticking with magic if things get crazy.

Our world tries to end kind of a lot, but usually the things responsible are pretty bad at it. We've stopped it like six times now, I think?

Oh, hey. I think I've maybe talked to people from your world before! There's a couple other people here who told me home is like that for them too. I'm sorry to hear it's so intense. It sounds pretty terrifying.

I bumped into the guy when I investigated his house back in September. Certainly ain't a big old squamous teddy bear, but I might've gotten through to him a bit. If things go pear-shaped, I'll try and use my gift of gab, but running like hell is the next best option.

Got through to him how? Just. Talking to him? Is that it?

[Clementine could try but she is well aware she is not the smoothest or necessarily the most sympathetic or empathetic given everything back home. That she has certain triggers that may or may not come up in general let alone in visiting the Mayor.]

In so many words? Yeah! I might've told him to man up literally and be the dad Sodder needed him to be. It kind of broke him. Weird. I broke Cthulhu! Or, well, a guy who thinks he needs to look like Cthulhu.

Broke him? Just that? Wow.

Yeah. Weirdest fight that turned into a one-sided word fight that ended with the big ol' squidfaced monster bawling his eyes out. I almost felt a little bad, but hey, sometimes you gotta tell someone off when nothing else works.

i hear you
i think i'm ready to go back
it's been a long fucking time
but i miss 'em

[And they're in a weird position where he'll go back to a Clem he adores and she'll go back to... well, not him. He's not sure how to deal with that, so he chooses to... not to. ]

ugh
so what you're telling me here is that we have to go to Creepy McTentacles' shindig
and probably get stabbed

I miss them too, Louis.

[Yeah let's just. Skip past that detail. Those details? Whatever. It's easier to just side step that and focus on what he says about the invitation.]

Honestly? Getting stabbed would be the most normal thing to happen here for me. It's school and everything that still feels weird. Like another lifetime ago. But. You coming then? I haven't checked yet if Daryl was curious enough to check it out too. Or. I guess. Suspicious enough is probably more accurate, with him.

i mean honestly i'd rather put hot needles under my fingernails
than get involved in this shit
but if you're going
I'll go too

pretty sure Daryl would say a big HELL NO
to all of that

If you think it's too risky. We don't have to. I just figured, this Mayor doesn't exactly invite us over often. That it might be important. Or at least an opportunity to poke around and see what we find there.

Whether he comes is up to him.

i just have a lot of sketchy Wonderland memories#
the Queens were fucking assholes
and it just makes me edgy about the whole thing
if you wanna go
i'm behind you all the way

yuuuup
i sure as shit am not gonna try to make him
