Hey now, leave it to the wayside like you do, for you.

[delffs]

[delffs]

And which department to I seem a part of?

Well, I know for certain that you’re not in First Aid because I know everyone around here. I’d say… Maybe Rations? But doesn’t sound right, probably a Runner because Protection and the Hunters are often unwilling to admit it compared to everyone else.

[delffs]

Well, then I wouldn’t mind the company. Uneventful, surprisingly. Worst case I’ve gotten today was a minor scratch, but that was treated quickly and efficiently. Otherwise, it’s been quiet. How about yours?

Oh? Well, there’s kind of a bright side to that, not many severe injuries today. About the same, but my worst case was a sprained wrist, so the day’s been going fairly well around here. So far, that is.

[delffs]

— Sorry, I didn’t mean to say all that. I just have to get to Rations to help out…we’re low on staff. It’s nothing new, I guess. People have been affected by this for my whole life. It just doesn’t get easier, you know?

It’s alright, don’t worry about that. Oh? Oh… Yeah, it doesn’t, but the best thing that you can do is put on a brave face, because others have an even harder time dealing with all of this that anything can make them break.

Come on in, then, I don’t mind the company. Unless you were headed somewhere more important, in which case I shouldn’t take up your time.

God no, I have nothing to do, nor do I have anywhere to go, so that wouldn’t be possible. How’s your day going, Sam?

[thegarrettalcott]

——oh, I’m sorry, is there something you needed? You can come on in.

[thegarrettalcott]

[delffs]

Oh, no, just stopping by to say hi, I’m free until someone shouts my name, so I figured I’d take a stroll.

[walkerbtw-deactivated20150810]

— I, I’m sorry I didn’t see you. My mind has just been really clouded these past few days and I feel like I can’t even think straight. Or walk in a straight line, apparently. I’m sorry. It’s just…I’m really tired of this, you know? Of all of this. I, uh, I’ve just got to go to Rations. I’m sorry, again.

[walkerbtw-deactivated20150810]

[delffs]

Hey hey hey, what’s wrong? What happened, love?

[delffs]

He’s definitely not the only one, trust me. I’ve seen too many guys running away from the infected just this past month. I should be pissed but man, it’s hilarious.

I usually don’t make fun of people, that’s not really my thing, but grown men running from the infected? That’s new. Well, only because I never hear about that, but I always hear them brag about coming back from a zombie massacre when they drop by.

[delffs]

Better warn them then.

I will, I will…

[delffs]

That’s a weird thing to ask, although I tend to ask people about zombie penguins so I’m not judging you or anything. Never really understood peoples fears for needles, especially with what’s lurking behind the walls. Whacked priorities.

I’m full of weird questions. Wait, zombie penguins sound awesome. Tragic, but awesome. We all have our fears, some make sense, some don’t. But I can understand if someone’s fearful over the needle having been used before by others much better than other reasons, I'll be honest.

[delffs]

—any reason why you asked in the first place? You gonna stab me with a syringe or somethin’?

Oh, no, I just like to ask. Everyone has a different opinion on them, though sometimes, it scares people when I ask, which I never want to happen… But no, no needle today.

[delffs]

You know, you’re definitely lucky that you look somewhat adorable, Del. It makes it a whole lot harder for me to convince everyone that you’re actually the spawn of Satan.

Somewhat adorable? I consider myself a puppy, have you seen the eyes? Puppy like. Oh, come on, you love me, but the spawn of Satan? I think not, more like the spawn of Samuel and Eleanor.

[delffs]

Doesn’t surprise me to be honest. It’s always the guys acting like they could crack an infected’s skull with their bare hands that jump at the sight of one. Of course, they’d be afraid of something so ridiculous as needles as well.

That kind of might be my dad in a nutshell, I’m not going to lie. But that’s between you and I, alright? Otherwise he’d try to prove me wrong by demanding we go all out with the needle thing.
