Might I suggest the library? Or a park? It's been a wonderful way to escape for me

[rabbitfeather]

what kinda books you read?

[temptationaccomplished]

Art history mostly these days. Some mystery. The classics. Anything that catches my eye, really, though I feel as a younger person I used to do a great deal more reading.

What do you enjoy reading?

[rabbitfeather]

i don't really read anymore

i used to read american books when i came from japan but it was really only young adult books with dragons n fairies n shit

never found anything i really liked

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh no, you have to read.

What do you want to find in a book? You might try asking a librarian.
I'd offer to help, but as another young person has established, I'm really not very current on young adult fiction.

[rabbitfeather]

i have to, huh.

i wanna read scary shit. that's what i like in movies anyway

[temptationaccomplished]

Yes! It's one of the simple joys in life. Far off places, adventures... Reading is empowering, don't you think?

Scary things, hm? I can't say I read much of that. I've never understood the appeal.

[rabbitfeather]

never understood? what puts you off?

[temptationaccomplished]

Just not much for the whole "spooky" thing, really.
I've always preferred things that are lively and fun. You know: happy, joyful. I suppose the closest I get to "spooky" is a good mystery.

[bearshermark]

You want to hang out and talk or something?

[rabbitfeather]

yeah why not
i don't wanna kick it w the usual suspects right now

[bearshermark]

Anywhere particular you want to go? Coffee or pizza or something?

[rabbitfeather]

coffee sounds good, it's probably all i got the money for rn.

there's a place a couple blocks from me that'll give you like a gallon of cold brew for like a nickel

[bearshermark]

That sounds crazy. Where is that?

[rabbitfeather]

( Ayato types out the address! It's in a slightly sketchy part of Brooklyn, but it's not terrible. )

if it's too far i guess we can meet up somewhere in the middle. i don't mind beating feet

[bearshermark]

Nah, I can get there without too much trouble. Say in an hour or so? I'm Elliott, by the way.

[rabbitfeather]

all right, sounds good
i'm ayato though, its good to meet you

[bearshermark]

Thanks. What should I look for to know it's you?

[rabbitfeather]

red hoodie and doc martens. i'll sit in the far corner its my usual spot

[bearshermark]

All right, I'll see you then.

[hardtoignore]

The parks have been nice. I took my cat on a few walks over the past week. Ran into some of the other Different out there, too.

[rabbitfeather]

you walked your cat? i wish i could walk my rabbit

but are there more different running around than i thought or do we just happen to keep seeing one another cause of all this weird bullshit

[hardtoignore]

Yeah I have to use a harness and a lead but Cheddar was also cool with it to begin with. I don't know if I could have trained him that way myself. It would be cute to see a rabbit out on a walk tho.

[Whoever had the cat before seemed to have at least liked walking about with him before moving away.]

I think there may be more than we originally thought. Counseling isn't required so most of them only show up now and then. We just get lucky and see some more often than not, I think.

[rabbitfeather]

ive seen those bubble backpacks with rabbits and cats but i think poison party would flip her lid if i took her out in one


ah. right. i dunno its all whack as fuck i get frustrated with all this "different" nonsense

[hardtoignore]

Seeing as she's a prey animal, yeah. Probably best not to.

Hard same. Course, we could just be turning more paranoid and thinking we see more Different than we did before. I wouldn't put that past the Bureau.

[rabbitfeather]

she deserves to see the world but not if these whack ass rottweilers are gonna flip their shit every time they see her

i dunno i been trying to stay out of that bullshit but its not working

[hardtoignore]

I guess you could ask around if you have any friends with fenced yards. I can't help you there, though.

Riiiight? I always start to put that stuff behind me but then something new slaps me in the face. Or wakes me up at night.
