says the nerd :p

[limped]

Didn't know it was a competition.

I figured getting inside was a better plan than waiting for more of them.

Silence isn't really an answer if you're okay.

[justbeingknife]

It's not. That was a smart call.

[ you know, as opposed to what Majima did...... ]

The other dude okay, too? He a new arrival?

[limped]

I sometimes make them. How many of them did you fight then?

[ Because it sounds like a lot. ]

Yeah. To both questions.

Is this usually how it goes? I mean, how often do people show up?

[justbeingknife]

A lot?

Next time I'll keep better track.

[ """next time"""

Either way, he wasn't used to all these teenagers asking him all these awkward questions. 'Majima, were you worried about us?' 'Majima, are you dead?' 'Majima, what was your body count?'

Gosh, what did you nerds want from him. ]

Nah. Ain't normal at all, from what I can tell. We've had some trouble with the dust, sure, but the fuckery's just pilin' up lately. First Lamar, then these zombie nutjobs.

Then again, if ya believe the locals, there was a gap between when the first of our couple of groups showed up and the last time people from other worlds arrived in Reims. So maybe we're part of a larger pattern.

[limped]

Bloody hope there won't be a next time.

Glad you're okay.

[ ............... Majima pls.

Let Newt live, he worries about Majima okay. ]

How many different things has the dust done, that you can remember?

[ Newt's seen things closer to Zombies, and he almost wants to point that out, but he keeps it to himself. He doesn't want to talk about Cranks right now. About what happened to Winston. ]

I don't believe the locals. We should figure out what the pattern of arrival is. It could help us figure something out about this place.

[justbeingknife]

Let's see...

There's the dust in the Reset Room
The dust blowin' in from Ile Lacroix
The dust in the vent that Lamar rigged up
The dust storm just now
The stuff that came outta those Sound Eaters we blew up, dunno if that counts
The birds
The body
And the footage

Some of those might be repeats, dependin' on how you wanna count 'em.

[limped]

And you've seen all this happen firsthand? Bloody hell.

And it's all done different stuff but it seems like the same batches of the stuff does the same stuff. Like losing colour vision. Which means it either changes or we change.

[justbeingknife]

Man, you don't know how much I hope it's the first one.

Just can't figure it out. It all looks the same, so how can it act so different all the damn time? At least if we knew when it was gonna act up, maybe we could be ready for it.

[limped]

Gotta say, my luck so far probably means it's the second option.

Kinda hard to believe something like that is naturally occurring if you ask me.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah.

But I also couldn't tell ya why anyone'd think making that shit was a good idea. Probably why I ain't a scientist.

[limped]

I've seen scientists make up a lot of jacked up klunk. This would just fit in with all the other stuff.

[ HE WANTS TO BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT AN EVIL WICKED TECHNICIAN MAJIMA. ]

Could just be a variable or a test. Know of anyone immune to the dust?

[justbeingknife]

No one. Not even the androids, and I want someone to explain that to me.

[ because they're ANDROIDS gdi, they should be immune ]
