[It’s been a long time since she’s addressed the community. While she’s always sounded annoyed, now there’s a heartache behind the anger. An exhaustion, a defeat.]
Back in the desert we got this story that gets told to every greenie that shows up in the sand. That it don’t matter if you went and got dusted ‘cause your shadow still lives on. [A shaky, sharp breath.] Killjoys never die.
But in this place, it ain’t true. The desert doesn’t believe in death but here there’s no life to begin with. Light’s out is just light’s out. [The anger in her voice picks up, deep and visceral.] All this place gives is empty promise after empty promise, dangles lil’ shiny pieces of hopin’ right in your face then laughs it away again. Just makes everythin’ you were ever told one damn cruel joke.
[There’s a few moments of nothing of but heavy breathing and snotty snuffles before she starts again, voice forcibly more calm.]
So why don’t all you rat kings and thrill seekers and wannabe white suits give me a new story worth believin' in?

[ Not that he disagrees. ]

'sides, I don't trust anything people are giving away for the cheap. They want us to stay, reason enough to get out.
voice
[ That last bit, it's what bothers him, too. He's trying, here, but it's like a splinter you worry at now and then. ]
Dunno where else we can go, though.

[She doesn't much like the idea. As much as she hates it, this place has the machines that might bring her boys back.]
voice
[ Aside from space travel being totally awful in his opinion, he's sick of being on the run. ]
You find a place?
voice
[She sighs.]
Lookin'. Think I'm just gonna head towards the open land. Spent plenty of hours out campin', kinda miss it anyway.
voice
[ Do people even do that here? Daryl's trespassed on plenty of property, it's not really that he cares about the law-- just, she's a kid, she should be a little careful. ]
You need a place to set up a while, you let me know, all right?
Re: voice
[There wasn't such a thing as private property where she was from.]
You offerin' a patch of land?

[ And if he makes sure to occasionally check in and sneak her a meal if needed, well, so what. ]
I'll let you know.
[ i did clear this ooc with other players so feel free to assume she's dropping by as needed! ]

[OOC: Thanks, will do!]
