Hey everyone,

This is Sandy. I was just talking with Nick and he told me about caps. I guess they use them for money?

Has anyone found any bottle caps while we've been cleaning up? I haven't.

Also Louis and I have been fixing up some of the old clothes I found so if you guys don't wanna wear your jumpsuits every day you can come get them. I've got dresses and stuff. Some hats too.

Has anyone else figured out what we should be doing? Like do we just keep hanging out here or what?

Do we try to open the other pods?

OH! And Jiro and I are trying to like, gather up the roaches to keep them locked away so we don't have to kill them. Any idea how we can keep them from getting out?

That's all I guess.

Bye?

[She has no idea how to end this.]

I don't know really...maybe? Seems like the sort of thing he'd like.

[Fancy names, puntastic nicknames. Yeah that fit his MO.]

It never really came up I guess.

[loveyoudarling]

Makes sense, I'm sure there were reasons.

And it's not like it always matters, I personally never even knew either of my biological parents, so I don't know who gave me my name or why. I always feel like what matters most is the identity you hold with that name.

[justoutrunyou]

Yeah...actually that sounds pretty cool.

Like, names are just whatever you make them. Don't like your name? Get a cooler one.

[Like Sandman or Spider-man.]

I think you've made your name pretty cool.

[loveyoudarling]

Oh? You really think so?

[Truthfully she had never given her own name much thought. Perhaps that was on purpose though. The more she thought about semantics like that the more she started to worry about things she knew would get no answer.]

And why's that? Did I do something particularly 'cool' recently?

[justoutrunyou]

Well I mean...come on. You're so confident and you don't care what anyone thinks. If you want something you just go for it and don't hold back.

Stuff like that is cool you know?

...plus I'm pretty sure if you wanted to you could kill us all so that's kind of badass.

[loveyoudarling]

Well, I just think that's how everyone should be. It's silly to not try and strive to get the things you want in life.

Although it's flattering that you hold me in such high regard. You really think I can be that scary, hmn?

[Well... Perhaps. But she would at least like to think some of the others could provide a fighting chance against her. Otherwise she'd be worried about their overall survival.]

[justoutrunyou]

I don't even know what I want out of life so...can't really strive for that.

But yeah no you could totally kick all our asses if you wanted to.

[Sandy hasn't even REALLY seen her in action yet. But she can already picture Chocolat shredding her way through baddies with her rolls of wires, or making awesome shots with the old guns they would get to take with them on their adventures.]

Sometimes a girls gotta be scary to get things done right?

[loveyoudarling]

Oh, most certainly.

[Strange. Did her voice just change in tone for a second as she said that? Must have been a trick of the mind.]

But what do you mean you don't know what you want? Everybody wants something at all points in their life. It doesn't have to be something big and dramatic. Why, it can be something as small as a warm bed to sleep in, or a nice meal at the end of the day. Surely there's something you can think of that you'd want right this moment.
