What does this giant turtle eat?

[ he knows steve is here -- and who knows how many people gunning to catch him. which explains the anonymous text.

Should I be? This place seems pretty safe... Did you hear something bad?

[dislocked]

[ no he's just paranoid. ]

Not yet. Have you been here long?

[leaptopudding]

Don't be like that. This place has been around for a long time, from what I've heard. Maybe we'll get lucky. I've been here nearly two months. Nothing bad so far.

[Save for that murder and gang war and well... She'll just ignore all those details for the time being.]

[dislocked]

You're very optimistic about this.

[leaptopudding]

I have to be. The alternative is doom and gloom and that's not gonna help anyone. Gotta stay positive, y'know?

[She's half trying to convince herself here. Makoto's done her fair share of crying since she got here. Thankfully it's all been out of sight. What she's learned though: her tears and worrying haven't helped a damn thing.]

[dislocked]

Staying positive's not going to help you if something bad happens.

[ but he can appreciate that sentiment. more or less. from a distance. ] Where are you from?

[leaptopudding]

It's better than giving up.

Japan. Earth. You?

[dislocked]

You sound like someone I used to know.

Earth. Somewhere.

[leaptopudding]

I bet they were AWESOME.

That's not fair. I gave you more than 'somewhere'. >:(

[Sure, because he's totally being vague without reason.]

[dislocked]

[ weeeeell he's more or less a wanderer. ]

Russia. Earth.

Are there many others who don't come from Earth?

[leaptopudding]

Huh. Cool.

There's a few. And a few who come from Earth's that aren't mine.

[There's a short pause in typing.]

And people from the future where Earth is gone.

[dislocked]

[ what ]

By gone you mean dead, or blown up?

[leaptopudding]

[She had the same reaction.]

I dunno. Both? I just know that people can't be there anymore, for one reason or another. My friend said his time was really bad and then this girl said it was gone in hers. 'Earth-that-was'. She doesn't know when it happened either.
