[ okay so the park...this is more jonas's speed. being outside is kind of nice after everything that's been going on since they arrived. he's out this morning with a coffee from mcd's in one hand and his other hand in his pocket, strolling along the path until he comes across eiden.
who is...squirrel-watching.
it's okay. he will just shuffle over to where he is to join the watching. ]
...it's kind of weird to see them after not seeing any other animals this whole time.
[ oh. man. he loves watching these fat squirrels and settles in with jonas to enjoy the show. topper is meanwhile enjoying his own tree, he is so fucking happy in this moment. this park is like his greatest dreams. ]
Yeah, there weren't really any like... rats or birds or anything in the city. And nothing in that tiny park either, but I just chalked that up to it being right in the middle of a city.
Yeah. We were trying to find some a couple of times but nothing showed up. I thought maybe they just...weren't a part of the UG, but the squirrels look pretty alive. Or...well, you get it. [ frowning in thought. ] I don't know. Maybe they slipped through to this plane when we weren't looking.
You think they can just add and take out whatever they want? I hadn't really thought about how these things are getting revealed to us, like...if they're always there beyond the barrier, or if they're being, uh, created by somebody else or what the deal is.
Are we the pets in this scenario. [ he knows they are, and he hates it. ] Like those experiments they do on rats. Drop them in a maze and see if they can learn to follow a routine and be rewarded for it.
[ no this is a terrible line of conversation he doesn't want it either. ]
Could it? Don't say that, they might be listening.
[ shutting his eyes a little as some of the squirrels scuttle by. ]
Don't really want to be rewarded for this crap... but it's what we've been given. We'll have to keep at it, I guess. [ offering a smile ] How're you holding up?
I'm starting to think these guys have selective hearing if that's true. I've been asking for a lot of things and nothing's happened yet.
[ there go the squirrels. he seems to be focused on them... ]
In a way I'd rather be rewarded than just wait around for what we know is going to happen eventually. At least it's a nice distraction. [ but no more doom and gloom. he seems to ease up a little and shrugs. ]
Things are fine. I mean I'm fine, my team's doing fine. I think we're just...you know. Figuring what's next. What about you you...?

I mean, they can't all be dead too?

Wish it could be that easy for us to slip in and out. That, or maybe they just put 'em in for fun...
