So.

Does anybody ever actually escape from Silent Hill, or is this really as good as it gets?


Oh and.

To the pretty classy lady with guts of steel...were you real last night?

Comments

[dividedby]

Silent Hill?

What are you talking about?

[stop_the_rain]

The town?

[dividedby]

What town? [pen taps] Are you saying there's another town out there besides Doyleton?

[stop_the_rain]

I don't know what I'm saying anymore...

[dividedby]

[...] I don't know what you're saying either.

[more pen taps, then:] Are you new here?

[stop_the_rain]

At least some things are normal.

I guess.

[dividedby]

Some things?

Just...don't believe anything the staff says, then. If you haven't already figured that out.

[block handwriting, not disguised]

[ryuuzaki]

This is as good as it gets.

[stop_the_rain]

That's...pretty shitty.

[ryuuzaki]

It could be worse--in fact, it has been.

[stop_the_rain]

Well....yeah. I know.

[Anon. Purposefully vague in case this guy isn't just making a Silent Hill reference.]

[vstheworld]

So I wasn't the only one thinking that last night.

[Hesitation mark]

Favourite game?

[stop_the_rain]

.....

Um. What?

[vstheworld]

Never mind. If you don't get what that means, it probably means I shouldn't be talking to you about it anyway.

[stop_the_rain]

....Because that's not a weird thing to say at all.

What the hell?

[Strikeout sort of legible if you squint.]

[vstheworld]

What? They don't have stupid cryptic BS where you come from? I question your affinity with Silent Hill.

[stop_the_rain]

You remind me of a guy from the radio.

I don't do the stupid cryptic shit. I don't care about 'rules'. So if you've got something to say, say it. Otherwise, I'm a little sick of this crap, okay?

[vstheworld]

Clearly for my dashing good looks.

I said what I wanted to say and I got the answer I wanted. Soooo I'm gonna go with "nothing to say" if that's cool with you.

[Another note added a little while after the last one.]

Actually one more thing: what's your name?

[stop_the_rain]

Murphy.

My name's Murphy.

[Strikeout illegible]

[vstheworld]

Huh. Okay, maybe I don't know you. New ga

[mirrorimage]

[In semi-neat, less old-fashioned cursive.]

If you are who I think you are, I'm real. But I wish this place wasn't.

[stop_the_rain]

Then I guess that means you are.

Yeah. I'm still really sorry about that.

[mirrorimage]

It isn't your fault. Are you okay?

[stop_the_rain]

Yeah, I'm okay. Woke up...back where I started.

How about you? Are you hanging in there?

[mirrorimage]

Do you have any idea how you got there?

I'll be okay. Don't worry about me.

[stop_the_rain]

No. But...it's not the first time that's happened.

Yeah, well, I'm a worrying kind of guy.

[complicatedliar]

That seems to describe rather a lot of the ladies around here.

[stop_the_rain]

Yeah? I only met the one.

[complicatedliar]

I'm certain that will be remedied soon enough.

[also very anon]

[oneman_onekill]

I think it depends on the ending you get [on second thought, he's scribbled that whole sentence out] You know, that's an analogy that definitely didn't cross my mind before.

[stop_the_rain]

Okay, I didn't make an analogy. Did you mean to reply to something else?

Or is something going on here?

[oneman_onekill]

Pretty sure this place isn't Silent Hill, so that's where the analogy comes in--but only pretty sure. Don't quote me or anything.

[stop_the_rain]

Last night I was pretty sure that's exactly where this place is.

Now I have no idea.

[oneman_onekill]

Yup, sounds like the rest of us. No idea.
