My Village is Number One

[Dracos]

"To tell the truth, I don't know." Dracos shrugged.  "It was a different world."

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"Huh. Lots of room for theorizing, but little solid evidence there," comments Tom, shrugging.

[Dracos]

"You know...  if you'd asked me seven months to theorize on this, I would've gone on for hours.  Now, I couldn't give a shit.  We're alive at the beginning and we're alive at the end, that's what matters at the moment."

Dracos

[Carthrat]

Tom snorts. "If you say so."

So much for the whole 'belief' schtick, eh?

"Y'get jaded that fast, eh?"

[Dracos]

"Eh...maybe.  Maybe I'm pulling your leg?  Maybe I'm leading you into a deathtrap right now." He smiles, leading to the place.

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"Death, shmeth. I can take it!" boasts Tom, supremely arrogant.

[Dracos]

"Yes, which is why this is not a death trap.  It is a trap where you shall play starcraft against an unbeatable computer sixty thousand times in a row!"

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"Cool, I could use a challenge," smirks Tom. "It's been so long since I had... a true adversary."

[Halbarad]

Tim scrounges the remains of breakfast after Tom and Philip leave for practice, then heads off to building nine in imitation of sterling.

Sleep does sound good right now.

[Brian]

As Phil and Tom are sharing quips, a mental warning echoes across Phil's mind:

More people are approaching.  The only image accompanying this warning is three separate figures at different points on the road.  One is in the lead, and moving considerably faster.  The other two are a few steps apart.

They'll be at the entrance to town in about five minutes, someone unfamiliar informs, their vision (the same Lazarus relayed) unsteady enough to suggest that they are in a car that's being driven off-road.  Apparently they're pulling ahead of the runners, to reach town in the car first.

[Dracos]

"More friends of yours expected, Rat?"

Dracos turns, heading for a detour suddenly.

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"Tom. My name is Tom.

And no, not that I know of. The Bigfire crew don't know anyone else, to my knowledge.. wait, where are you going?"

[Dracos]

"More company is coming, Tom...  gah, you actually expect me to call you that instead of Ratty?" Dracos teases as he continues towards where he was told they'd arrive.

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"I dunno, I was gonna call you 'Phil', and Rez 'Nathan', and all," replies Tom. "Well, whatever."

[Bjorn]

Touching the minds of Philip, Nathan, and Parthipan, Bjorn tensely relates, Strangers coming up the road. Might be together, one might be being chased by the others. Hard to tell. Heading for the road now, meet me there.

OOC: I guess I have to start posting telepathy stuff in the appropriate thread, eh?
