What the fuck kind of football tryout was that? There was a wall of fire. I shit you not, a god damn wall of hellfire. Someone in Babylon wants me to die.

That's why I stick to soccer and crew. I'll find those teams soon enough. As soon as my body recovers from the snakebites. Oh, yeah, there were snakes too. I fucking hate snakes. I fucking hate football.

God damn it. Captain? Drinks?

i missed out on snakes and fire?????

I wouldn't call it missing out, but yeah.

A.. wall of fire..? That sounds.. very dangerous.

Are you okay..?

The guy seemed to think it was fun and appropriate.

Yeah, buttercup, I'm fine. In fact, I'm more than fine. I'm Charlie Dalton. And you are?

Doesn't sound.. like either of those things at all.

That's.. good that you're fine. Sorry for.. intruding. I'm Qi Luo.

Yeah? That's because it wasn't. The guy's a dick.

You're not intruding, sweetcheeks. Qi Luo? Cute name. Where you from?

Oh... Sorry for that.

Ah.. if you say so. Taiwan. What about you?

Stuffy upper-crust Vermont. Taiwan sounds much more exciting. Bet you've got stories.

Vermont... is in America, right? One of the smaller states.

It's not that exciting. There's not much.. to tell.

Yeah, but with a higher concentration of hypocritical, rich assholes.

Well, fuck that, then. I've got stories, and I grew up in the most boring, white bread town on the east coast.

There's.. too many people like that in the world.

What kind of stories?

Tell me about it.

I went to an all boys' boarding school. All my stories start and end there. Things happened, people shot themselves because of their hypocritical asshole dads, I got expelled. The usual, buttercup, the usual.

Anyone else from your world here?

Shot themselves..? That's terrible! I guess that it's not much different there than it is.. in Taiwan. I've heard things like that happening.

Um.. I don't think so. Even if there were, they wouldn't talk to me.

No, I think that thing happens all around the world.

Oh yeah? Why not?

I don't really.. know much of other places. That's a sad thought.

Because they wouldn't know me anyway.

Ah. Yeah, you seem like the quiet type. I like that, though. Sometimes. On the right people.

I don't.. really like talking to people.

It's easier to type over this to others than.. talk.

You're one of those people, then. Well. Interesting.

You like poetry?

Oh..?

Yes, I do. I like Dylan Thomas the most.

Yeah.

Good. When I reform the society, you'll have to join. Thomas is brilliant. And death shall have no dominion, et cetera.

That's.. good then.. I guess.

Me? That.. doesn't sound that bad. Sure.

You didn't make the team? And to think, I was so looking forward to playing alongside you.

Oh, I'll come watch you.

You do that then, kid.

What, you don't want me to?

I don't care, really.

Hard to get works on me.

So what, knocking you out doesn't even stop you? Look, I'm in a fucking fantastic mood, so I'll let this one slide. Thanks for the poem.

I'm unstoppable. You'll learn that soon enough.

You're welcome. It's the least I could do.

You know, usually persistence is attractive, but on you? It's just annoying.

I'll take that too.

I don't celebrate Yule, and I have missed the solstice, however I think tomorrow night calls for drinks and poetry. Also, I have something for you.

Drinks and poetry, it's like you've known me all my life.

I've something for you as well. This'll be fun.

This will.
