[Sam's collected a handful of cards---some fancy, some simple---and she shuffles through them, one eyebrow up. Still shuffling, she looks to her drone to address it, and the whole of Haven.]

I've gotta say, this something of a mind-screw. I've been here... Seventy-six days. Damn.

[She's taken aback, at least a little, by the tally, but shrugs after swearing and soldiers on.]

That's not the thing that throws me. The thing that throws me is having had Valentine's seventy-six days ago! Keeping my calendar, we'd be two days out of April.

I've been sneaking a peek now and then, but I try not to be too long, or too often.

Why? Wait...Dirge...right, he kind of claimed the place, huh?

What if I went with you?

[10_20_15_5_50]

Yeah... and that would be awesome.

I've still been in for stuff, since there's some I do need and Dirge can go get bent, but I've been trying to be sensible about it. Having a really big friend escorting me would make that much easier.

[He shrugs.]

Yeah, no problem. I can handle him. [He thinks.]

This is also awesome, as my own odds are a little iffy.

Can I also consider you an emergency contact if I'm out minding my own business and then there's suddenly Dirge and the situation goes south?

[smirks.]

Yeah, call me any time.

Thanks. A person can ever have too many emergency contacts for this sort of thing.

Our lives are so strange.
