Got a place you wanna meet?

You name it. I'm fine with it.

Lounge it is. Look for the bloke with the beers.

I'll be right over.

[ Rika will take her time and run on over to the lounge with a smile. It was nice not having to hide her booze anymore. There were people that could give her the hook up. ]

Hello there, sir.

[ Will was already a bit more than tipsy by the time she showed up, but that didn't stop him from staring at her a very long time before saying anything. ]

... bloody hell, how old are you?

Good question. I've lost count after 100.

[ good answer. ]

[ Will's eyebrows raised about as far as they could go, but after a very long moment he shrugged in defeat and pulled out a chair for her. ]

Whatever you say, love.

Thank you, you're such a gentleman.

[ She'll smile and hop up onto the seat. ]

[ Will scoffed at that. ]

Yeah, I'm a real fine gentleman.

[ He took a drink, eyeing the girl before speaking again. ]

Guess I should be askin' your name about now.

I'm Rika Furude, that is so. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Don't know how much of a pleasure it is, but same to you.

[ He took a drink before continuing. ]

Name's Will. Just what are you wantin' to get drunk about?

It's always a pleasure to meet new people. I never really ventured out of my village-limit so it was rare to see visitors.

[ She'll glance down, it's not like she'll be able to venture back there after committing that crime. ]

Just forgetting the past really.

What kind of little town did you live in? Sounds awful boring.

[ Sorry. Drunk and rude. ]

You and me both.

It was very old-fashioned and a place where everyone knew everyone. Which is why I can't go back if I ever do leave this place.

I know what that's like. I made myself a lot of enemies on the outside of these walls too. Stayin' here almost seems safer in a way.

The feeling is mutual. At least I could be surrounded by new faces here... even though I want to see my friends again. Though, even that is a million in a lifetime chance since they probably don't want to see my face ever again.

Why wouldn't they? If they're your friends I reckon they'd be missin' ya about now.

Well, news travels fast in a small village.

I made a foolish mistake that led me to being locked up in here.

You don't think they'd give you a second chance?

No, there's a good chance they won't. Besides, the village will be underwater soon and everyone is moving away.

You'd be surprised how forgiving people can be, love.

[ He knew that better than most people. ]

Underwater?

I was escorted out before they could talk to me, but those faces shhowed those of not wanting to deal with someone like me anymore.

It's going to be part of the dam construction.

I've been on that side of things before. It ain't easy for anyone involved.

[ He appeared a bit remorseful at that thought. ]

They'd bury an entire town just for that?

Is that so? I guess we do have things in common then.

[ She'll sigh, shaking her head at the images popping into her head. It wasn't easy coming to terms of living in this place. ]

Yeah, sadly. There was no members in the head community that opposed so they agreed to have everyone move out before the construction started.

Take it from me, love: forgiveness ain't impossible. It never is.

[ He crossed his arms, the discussion suddenly sitting a little too close to home. ]

That must be real rough.
