Andrew Lane

"Oh, do- Did you play basketball?"

#c:#c:roxanne #roxannesilva #//'Andy Andy he’s our man if he can’t do it no one can'#do you hear my heart shattering

"Basketball, football – I did it all... For a while in high school." He passes the ball to her and points at the bicycle tire nailed to the side of a building. "Go on. Take a shot."

"A year… I think."

"Jesus..."

"What have you been doing for a year?"

#c:#c:katja #katjameade

"Um.. Sure?"

#c:#c:roxanne #roxannesilva

"That would have been a half court shot if this were a basketball court and that wasn't just a broken bicycle tire."

Well, by that definition, no one has any real hobbies here.

There’s a way out for some people, if they’re good enough to leave. What’d you do to bite the dust?

#c:#c:christoph #christophreid

I never really had any hobbies when I was alive, so this doesn't change much for me. Maybe I'll take up sand sculpting.

Interesting.

Carbon monoxide. You?

"Oh, no.. I… I wasn’t, I’m sorry, I.."

#c:#c:roxanne #roxannesilva

"Want to see something really cool?"

"I wouldn’t necessarily say that its still intact… That’s erm unfortunate."

"How long have you been here?"

#c:#c:katja #katjameade

What’s your definition of a ‘real hobby’?

Um… A few years.

#c:#c:christoph #christophreid

Something that doesn't want to make you kill yourself again.

So there's no way out then?

"… Sorry for asking."

#c:#c:katja #katjameade #//it's up to you!#he does have a tendency to try and kill himself in case it'll wake him up from this nightmare #so it's plausible that he'd be covered in blood

"Don't apologize for caring. That's a nice human trait that somehow you still have intact, while I on the other hand, lost that in seven days."

I’m not sure who I’m trying to kid, honestly. This is the most boring thing I’ve ever read.

…You’ve only been here a week?

#c:#c:christoph #christophreid #//just imagine some faceless person walking around #with a derpass sharpied smiley face

So put the book down and find a real hobby.

Apparently, that's long enough to figure out how most of the town works. How long have you been here?

"I was going to say, ‘Hey do you hear that?’ Then you were supposed to say, ‘nah, benny, what is it.’ Then I was going to say something like ‘the sound of my dreams drying up in the desert sun,’ but no. You ruined the joke.”

#c:#c:benjamin #benjamin-lane #//I'M LAUGHING SO HARD

"That just about confirmed it ... You're an idiot – No, you know what sealed the deal? Getting us a one way ticket to Hell, which is what I'm assuming this place is."

"Oh you’re soooo clever Andy, uh-blu-blu-bluh.”

#c:#c:benjamin #benjamin-lane

"What am I supposed to be listening for? Or is this all in your head?"

"Can I help you?"

"I don't think anyone can help me now."

#c:#c:katja #katjameade

"Oh, erhm.. Sorry.."

#c:#roxeannesilva #c:roxanne #//o U o

"What are you staring at? There's nothing to see here."

benjamin-lane

"Hey. Hey! Listen… You hear that?”

#c:#c:benjamin #benjamin-lane

"... Yes, I hear an idiot."

I’d rather be depressed than bored.

#c:#c:christoph #christophreid #//aaaaay

Well, what you've got there beats reading the dictionary – you'd be depressed and bored.

There's plenty to do here from what I've seen during the past week or so I've been here. You can decorate a cactus with weeds and pretend it's a Christmas tree? You can draw faces on the faceless and make them ten times more terrifying? Plenty to do.
