Pax Letale

Oh Pieeeerce...

I've never had to do this before I don't have any idea what to say I'm not interesting Hi neighbors. What? Neighbors? I'm not Mister Rogers

Hey everyone. My name's Elijah - or Eli if you want, most people call me that - and I just moved into the building. Do people actually use this forum thing or no? It seems like a cool idea. But anyway, I'm sorry if the traditional 'moving in' noises are annoying. No one seems to be on the ninth floor so it's pretty quiet up here? I don't have much stuff anyway so it didn't take me long to get situated. I've been hearing horror stories about the elevator but so far it's worked fine for me. And apparently a girl was beaten in the park nearby? No way I can tell my dad that. He'd make me come home faster than a stupid meme moves on the internet

I'm a native Californian so I didn't move here from any strange exotic land, I'm taking community college classes, and I hope to study Astronomy someday. And the song 'California Gurls' just sucks, sorry, but it's true. That's probably all boring, isn't it? I don't have a car so I'm a big advocate for public transportation. I don't even have my license so But I'd really rather hear about you so I'll just stop typing. Uh

Thanks for reading.

The random screams that I hear as I'm heading downstairs to class the past few mornings have me curious. I didn't want to pry, but I feel like I'm missing out on something way more important than World History. What is going on? Are you guys okay? Can I help with anything?

[just after this, Naea chews on her lip thoughtfully and realizes that maybe, just maybe, having a friendly chat about things over a meal isn't the worst idea...]

[Ringing] She doodles on her notebook in the meantime...

Naea is feeling quite peckish while working on Algebra homework (why math always made her hungry, she'd never know) and realizes that she hasn't really taken the time to poke at her friend who mysteriously also arrived very near the same time as she did to Pax. On a whim, she ceases her penciling in of x-(4+71)24 to pick up her cell.

Ring...

Might as well get this over with That's right, you son of a bitch, you're not going to intimidate me into hiding or some bullshit

Greetings, residents of Pax Letale. I'm David, the second inhabitant of apartment 603 along with my lovely girlfriend Naea. I was a little slow in getting moved in, I admit it, but I'm here now - and better late than never, right? Anyway, now that I'm all settled I look forward to getting to know my new neighbors and ignoring my ASSHOLE brother who fucking stalked me all the way here. This forum thing is pretty nifty, I gotta say.

Oh, before I forget - is the elevator always such a jerk, or did I just do something to piss it off? The stupid thing hasn't taken me to the right floor once yet. I'm a pretty healthy guy, so I doubt it's trying to subliminally tell me I need to exercise more.

Uhm. There’s this bookcase in my living room that... is falling apart. I don’t know what happened and I think I might just give up and throw the thing out if I have to use my hammer on it again. So. Uhm. Would anyone want to lend me a hand?

Of course, if you’re busy, it’s okay! I just thought I’d ask since... well. That’s the kind of thing neighbors do for one another, right?

I just moved in. So. I think I’m your neighbor now?

Emma Sheridan. I live up in 1003. I can read your tarot if you’d like. I mean. In exchange for the help?

I signed up today to finish high school so I can get my GED and go to college.

On one hand, I'm really happy I can finally do this. On the other, it's bothersome to have school office workers look at you like you're an utter and complete failure.

Awesome.

Tell me I'm not the only one who felt the earthquake last night. Chingadera falling over, almost bonked me on the head.

I apologize for the noise and thumping going on while things were being moved into and situated in our new place. I'm Linnaea and my boyfriend, [Loki], well... he'll be along soon enough, I think. Things to take care of and all that business.

Just thought I would introduce myself. In 603!
