after vivarium!

It may have been weeks, months, or even years, but finally, everyone makes it out of the warehouse just fine. The authorities have broken in and let everyone out, or maybe the characters managed to escape on their own. Either way, Zero and Calhoun vanish without a trace and they still haven't been caught to this day. It's infuriating, but the important part is that they're now free. What exactly entrails after that ending though? How to Play: ✖ Make a top-level comment, either blank or filled with some info/prose. ✖ Tag others, whether it's shortly after the escape or much later. ✖ Action, text, video, whatever, it's all good. ✖ Have multiple threads? ✖ Done!

Jake! This is important, make sure to tell her.

Nevermind I'll tell her but you should make sure it's happening. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

since when did i ever give off the impression of being a gentleman. i carefully worked up an image of being a jerk to avoid eing expeted to do anything

but get your panties out of a twist. im at least making sure that she doesn't do anything stupid like go home with some guy or talk about manatees to me for an hour

[puzzlinglad]

She really likes the manatee idea I see. It does have a certain charm.

Yes but I know you aren't actually a jerk now so I expect things, it's a sad fact of getting closer to people.

By the way Claire told me to tell you she's going to hit you when you visit again for waking her up.

don't tell me that's wat she's texting you about. about manatees

i knew walking into this friendship was a bad idea. add it to the list of things i want to change if i get a time machine

like she'd even do enough damage with a punch. waking up in the middle of the night is good for her. tell her that it keeps her on her toes

Why not? Manatees are lovely, Jake. You should appreciate wildlife more.

I wouldn't say walking so much as stumbled, tripped maybe. How much have you both had now, by the way? Maybe you should stop, have a nice spot of tea or coffee or whatever it Americans have in these situations.
Hamburgers, maybe.

I'm not waking her up again, I'm not mental like you are. Also not every life applies to mercenary logic, you know.
