[IC] horrible things happen to people I know

[fill_the_blanks]

[Man, I haven't seen a certain hobo around in... a while. Worst month to lose people in camp. I wonder if he just went on a trip for a while without saying something...

ANYWAY, Kon is wandering around camp, looking for his hobo friend \o/]

... if you do, I wouldn't mind being introduced to him.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

I don't really know if he's the type to help strangers, and I haven't met him met him, but I'll ask...

Jeez...

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

There's still Peter. I'm just not familiar with either of them.

[fumbles in his jacket pocket for a cigarette]

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

That's why you shouldn't be wandering camp on your own right now. There's more ridiculous shit creeping around camp than usual.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

As I recall, you came to see me. Not the other way around.

[feels around for his lighter]

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Because I-- [gets up an knees you in the shoulder!!]

--what kind of idiot are you?! You're still outside even if you're sitting in one place!

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[a;slkdjf drops his cigarette]

Oof. I've been living outside for over a year now, Kon.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Not while blind you haven't. Ugh.

[... takes it, slowly. cracks it open.]

Food?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

What's it smell like?

[It also arranged pretty nicely for leftovers, but whatever, YOU CAN'T SEE IT.]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Poison.

[picking out something and eating it |D]

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[smacking you in the head even though you're BLIND]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[chokes a little, but swallows. and lauuughs.]

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[Goes sit on the other end of your blankets :|]

Shut up and eat.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[another soft laugh]

There should be a set of chopsticks in the top drawer of my pack. Could you get them for me?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[grumble grumble gets them for you]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[they're buried under a sheath of notes, of course. starts eating hungrily as soon as you pass them back to him.]

Thank you.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Whatever. [totally looking through these notes while you eat]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[paaaauses. I can hear paper rustling. the notes are relatively fresh but rather awkwardly written. like someone trying to do it ... I dunno, blind.]

What are you reading?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[I'm impressed it isn't overlapping all over the place.]

Nothing.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[there's some of that, but it's surprisingly readable. noting camp phenomena, etc.]

I can hear you turning pages.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Haah? You sure it's not the wind in the trees? [Rustles the pages. Mentally comparing these notes to any of Ginko's other stuff he may have seen, just as an exercise. Will pay more attention to it if there're notes on EYE-EATING MUSHI or something.]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[you might remember previous notes on eye-eating mushi, but those tend to leave voids and not sockets. on the back of the final page, there is a tiiiiny section of notes with a brief description of the Corinthian.]

This section of camp is coniferous.
