While I did anticipate finding myself in a brave new world upon stepping through that door, this isn't exactly what I was expecting.
Nor is this the company I was expecting to have.
I've been hearing a whole lot of strangers' voices coming out of this ancient piece of shit, and a notable lack of any familiar ones.
I also find myself somehow bereft of a number of items and abilities I should have had, many of which would have been pretty handy in what seems like a deserted island situation.
The rational question to ask here would be "what the fuck".
But just from eavesdropping on a few of y'all's conversations, it doesn't seem like anyone actually has the answer to that question.
So I'll skip the useless panic and confusion and whatnot and instead just ask:
Who was poking me and ran off before I fully woke up?
Fess up.

:( I do care what you think! I don't want you to think I'm illiterate. But I've never heard of any of this before. Why are you being so mean? I'm sorry I said you were sick just because you want to fuck animals. I didn't mean it. :(
I'm not trying to be unkind. I'm just very stupid. Ask anyone here.

[timaeus]

Do people actually fall for this shit?
Just making sure I didn't stumble ass backwards into a universe of gullible shitheads.
Wouldn't wanna make anyone else feel bad for being perfectly adequate by local standards.

:( What shit do you mean?

May I ask you a personal question? Then I'll stop bothering you.

[timaeus]

Nah.

[salamanca]

Please. It's very important that I need to know.

[He just doesn't bother answering. Sorry, important footprints to follow here.]

[salamanca]

Helloooooooooo

[salamanca]

You shouldn't follow the footprints. It's dangerous. :(

[salamanca]

Are you all right? Still alive? Don't get shot with arrows now.

[salamanca]

Worried. :( Concerned. :(

[salamanca]

Hey, kid! Answer me!

[salamanca]

I was just kidding. :(

[salamanca]

Just saw your conversation with Det. Cohle. Please accept my apology. I didn't realize you were so young. I will leave you alone now.

[ Lalo's reasoning for this conclusion is simple: an adult would have no reason not to simply answer when asked directly about their age. Only a kid would play coy. ]
