[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!

You were huuuge, way bigger than the others. Only five legs.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

... knew I was bigger. I hadta watch over a buncha the smaller ones.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

Is there anyone else looking out for the smaller ones?

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

Probably. Foreman's in charge.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

So he's like that. . . it's not bad?

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

Not bad. Nah. I felt happy.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

I see. That's good.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. Better'n bein' unhappy.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

[gettin' out a cigarette]

Still, I'm glad you're back.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

...

What happened to you while I was out?

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

Huh? To me?

Oh, this? It's kinda soothing.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

Yeah? When'd that start?

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

Huh, I'm not sure. I've been swiping them from Slick for a while now... I just started asking for my own a few weeks ago.

It's always been nice and familiar, though.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

New for me.

[lighting his o/ breeathe]

Maa, I guess it is. A lot can happen in thirty-five days. Geez, what's happened since then?

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

[keeeeps watching. cigarettes are still mysterious future technology.]

I left after that rough game. The one with us killin' people.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

[I'm sure if you think about it too hard you can tell it's not very good for you, and for a guy who usually totes about taking care of yourself :|a mystery]

I remember that. We haven't killed anyone since, though Slick was ordered to torture someone outside a game.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

[very mysterious :|aaa]

... how'd he take it?

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

He was okay. You know the personality in his memories?

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

The crazy one. Yeah.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

He's adapting, like he thought would happen. He's still Slick, just well enough equipped for that.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

Tch ... don't recall that bein' what he wanted.

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

He's been pretty down lately, actually.

[dotdotdotdammit.insanejournal.com]

He still got that kid t'cheer him up?

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

As far as I know he hasn't been to see Allen lately.

Maa, maybe it's about time I should make sure he's okay. He hasn't been talking to anyone that often. . . We've got a lot of new teammates, you'll have to meet most of them.
