What's that poem about how the world ends? Fire, or ice.
Funny, really, we've been at the sharp end of both in recent weeks and here we all are, still muddling along, impossible to destroy. Like cockroaches, or Twinkies. Well. Most of us, anyway.
But it seems to me that ice is more a paralytic than an ending. Perhaps a precursor to slow cessation. A numbing, which - left long enough - allows one not to even notice as all the more vital components gradually freeze. Stasis, an ending without closure. They're the worst kind, I think.
But don't mind maudlin old me. I haven't been sleeping well.
At any rate. If you knew Byerly or Dorian -
Well, lucky you. They're gone now. Stasis. I thought some people might like to know and it turns out to be torture to have to say it over and over.
And it's colder here than I anticipated.
That's all.

He remembers Prior saying I really do have to start telling people Byerly's gone, and this style has a certain dramatic flair to it that is distinct.
So he starts off, casually, with: ]
This sounds like a good time for you to cash in a drink.
[ Sends it, see's his username come out garbled, and sighs the sigh of a man tired of bullshit. Follows up with: ]
If I'd known I was going to be a mystery person too I'd have thought of something more interesting to say.

It's not too late. Tell me you despise cowherds and all their accoutrements and I'll be stumped all over again.

In times like these a man's best friend is often a stiff drink.
[ He lost Odasaku twice. The first time, years ago and to a bloody end, had been agonizing enough. But losing him here? That had just been cruel.
He can empathize with this stranger's situation a little too much. ]
Speaking from experience- It helps to forget for a while.
no subject
[He's been drinking, more than he should since reaching this city. It helps with the cold - and it doesn't. But never for long. Anyway, he's being facetious.]
I would, but there's nobody left to roll me home. And I'm a cat person.
[And, as he hasn't missed this part, and god knows misery loves company-]
Recent experience?
no subject
Finally, someone with good taste. [ Fellow cat people unite. ] Dogs are far too needy.
[ If there's one thing he's good at, it's commiserating with others and sharing sorrows over several glasses of something strong. So the offer of his company hardly seems like a bad idea in these circumstances. ]
I've done my fair share of rolling in the past.
[ His smile is audible, unable to resist how much he likes this person's wit. ]
It's about time I switched things up, if you're interested in a drinking buddy.
[ He expected the question, but that doesn't make answering any easier. ]
Hm-mn. [ Said much quieter than his words before. ] Still feels that way, though.

I'm not sure anyone's tried that, yet. All the glass and preserving matter does get in the way somewhat.

The username which makes him oddly nostalgic, as the case may be. Though the lack of identity means he misses any humor.]
Well, I guess that's noble of you.
no subject

In the year since I've been here, I've seen my fair share wake up and go back to sleep. Seems like it's just the way that the Natha like it.

If you're not sleeping well, you ought to invest in some tea. It'll take the edge off the cold too.

He responds, but not in text because texting with a hook is damned tiring. He's very lucky he didn't just resort to video. Killian has never been very good with technology. There's a reason Emma once got him a simple flip phone. ]
It's always best to get a blanket statement out quicker. Indeed less repetitive pain, lad. Can't say I know the two, but I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
