Breakfast?

[Francis & Torunn]

I’m not familiar with how it works when somebody is taken back but it would seem James is no longer with us - you both okay?

[Nate]

James is gone, you doing okay?

What do people normally do when somebody they knew is now gone?

Fucking finally. At least it wasn't long enough to get a reverse farmer's tan. That would have sucked.

[Abbie]
...I'm fine.

[Nate]
Morgan likes you. I guess you should play Animal Crossing with us.

She punches so hard. Omfg. You ever just crave fried pickles?

[Dad]
I have something to tell you.

You know how some people have that 'wish I could see how the other half lives' kind of thing?

Very glad I'm not one of them. I envy none of you but hope you're not going craycray from this weird mojo.

[MORGAN]
Can I hang out under your bed for a while? Avoid your siblings and just eat chips and sigh loudly until you kick me out?

I'm starting to like it here.

[added later]

[James]

Love you.

I have a little bit of a teensy question because I've kind of lost track. How many more holidays should I expect until July fourth? I feel like an EMT should know these things.

But for anyone new here, I'm James Rogers. Yes, Rogers as in That Guy Most Of You Know. What's up?

I've never seen New York look so... together.

I'm far more familiar with a dystopian ruined version of it.

Everything is so much brighter here.

I should be in school. I had a month left of my junior year before I got here. So now I guess I have two. I know I'm young to be almost a senior, but I tested into the fifth grade when I got back and skipped fourth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway. I should be in school, but I don't know where that is, I don't have any books, and I only have one change of clothes. I have some money, so if I'm a truant, I might as well go shopping. Do we have the normal stores here, or are there specific places I can shop?

Thank God tongues heal fast. Jeez. 0/10. Do not recommend. Although ice cream 10/10, do recommend. Even if the stomach ache is never going to teach me any lessons ever.

It helps having a doctors note to get out of answering questions in school too.

[ALL BARTONS + NATASHA + JAMES]
I MADE FOOD AT SCHOOL AND BURNED NOTHING DOWN!

I am planning on recreating my success at home, I will require one volunteer on hand with a fire extinguisher in case something goes wrong. Sarcastic comments are not required, but enforcement is not entirely possible.

I swear no one will die from eating it, so ... everyone needs to come.

Was anyone injured during...all that?

[Filtered to Friends]

Obviously so many people in pain or panic isn't something to be happy about but...

I think maybe the surge? Poked at Him a bit. And I honestly don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing but it's the most I've felt in a while so I'm going to hope for good.

Pete and I need your help, OV residents. We had so much fun in Disney we didn't have time to come up with a calendar of fun days for April. Throw some at us.

Back to school tomorrow. Send help.

Tossing my best friend into cotton candy trees then having to drag said friend home in a literal bubble (thanks, Emma) because he was being stubborn isn't something I ever thought I would do.

So okay, this plus all of the other good shit that's happened since I got here? You win, Goodland. I believe in magic.

Now if you'll excuse me I still have sticky sugar in my hair.

This place is horribly bright and it sorta feels like a psychotropic drug dream, but on the other hand, it's not like it's insanely unusual for this place.

DAD! I'm going to catch diabetes! Don't wait up.

Only I will try to control myself a little because the sugar coma might kill me and if that doesn't the candy crash will.

so on the one hand having something soft to break my fall was pretty handy since my arrow disappeared.

on the other hand it looks like i landed on some sort of giant deformed bird pillow? is it food? it looks like someone's taken a bite out of it. did i die? is this hell? it looks like hell.

what the fuck?

Another maze? Are you

I'm going back to bed. Please don't make me go out there.

This is a ☠@✴#ing [...] %&*&#@ #$%*.

Aw $h*t!

Ice cream for breakfast is very unhealthy and no one should have it.

I'll save you all and consume it for you.

[ NAT ]

I know you and dad don't like keep secrets or anything. But can you maybe keep one tiny teeny secret and come to my school and bail me out of one minor case of poisoning and major burn damage to a cooker?

All of the chocolate, candy and assorted sweet things have literally doubled in price already.

I am not amused.

I just want some stinking marshmallows I am not trying to buy a car good god.
