where: somewhere on the compound with: @murdcrofcrows (odd)
it's not necessarily that dutch is easily startled, so much as he tends to be often pleasantly surprised. perhaps because he gets into his own head often, especially since his latest trip outside of the compound, into the strange loud building with flashing lights and a lot of mostly naked people. there had been a lot of people there, a lot of noise that drowned out thought in the moment, but hadn't stopped it from whirling to life the moment he'd left the building and headed home. and he finds himself drifting back to that night more often than not, thinking about all of the bright colors, the fun costumes, the friends he's sure that he made.
it's a shame he doesn't have a phone of his own, he would like to have gotten their numbers to see them again.
it is, perhaps, that he's so lost in this thought that it's possible for odd to sneak up on him, and though he jumps a little when it appears in his vision, his expression only blooms with a smile. "it's been a while since i saw you last, how have you been? gotten up to anything fun? did you know there's a building in town where there are a bunch of half naked people walking around all the time?"
