#scruffy talks

Whats your opinion on sammy?

Ah, good ol' Samuel...before all this happened, me 'nd him would talk a lot. Music, our day, how annoyin' the others could be...all of it. Then, all thus happened, and now he's...different. I still talk to him whenever I can, but it's just...it's like talkin' to someone else.

What do you look like?

Uh, pretty masculine, unfortunately. I've been gettin' visible muscles from everything here. And my beard is decent.

How have you lasted this long? Don't you get tired? Don't you get tired of seeing old coworkers become nothing but shells? Tired of watching others be torn apart by those who once were their friends? Or others who slowly get poisoned, until ink foams from their mouth? All those who were forgotten...

How long will you last?

I've lasted this long, and I'll be damned if I don't last longer. I found out how to purge the ink from one room...I'm bound to figure it out for a floor, then the whole building. I WILL return everyone...if not the whole group, at least Normie...at least him...

[janitor-scruffy-official]

Do you think you'll ever get out?

...maybe.

Sometimes, I think I don't wanna leave.

I...think about what I'd do out there first. Find Joey? Report this place? Just sob my eyes out?

When I try to think of...anything out there. The sun, a forest, just fuckin' grass...I can't see anything except ink.

I'm not sure what's worse...staying in this hell, or returning to a world I don't remember being part of.

Hey Scruffy, do you miss the old days?

Every damn day. Sometimes, when I wake up, I still expect Wally and Thomas to be arguing in the break room, or Norman to be havin' his fifth cup of coffee...but they're all either dead or...changed.

👀

Also how have ya been.?

Overall? I'm...still myself. That's better than some of my colleagues.

[janitor-scruffy-official]

Hello Scruffy! How have you been keeping up?

Eh, alright. Not dead yet, so I'm fine.

[janitor-scruffy-official]

Ugh...Searchers attacked the outside of my base. Now I've gotta clean up...
