I've been here over a month now. That's not even a blink to some of you, I know. So don't rub it in. But it's a long time for me. I've stopped looking for a way out, stopped hoping just to wake up in my own bed with my cat and my heavy curtains to keep the sun out. This is real. This is my life.

Damn.

I'll fill you in, if it pans out.

Do you live in the countryside here?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Currently.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

In a quaint little cottage?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Mm~ Not yet!

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

But you're not shacking up outside, are you?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Yes I am~ ♥

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

What! And that's comfortable?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

It's pretty too.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

But...you don't sleep in a bed? Or have your own personal bathroom? Or shower with an adjustable nuzzle? Or a kitchen to ransack, or a living room to lounge in? And that's OK with you?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

It's what I'm faced with all the time back home.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

But you don't have to settle for that here! There's plenty of abandoned real estate, I'm told.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

I know~!

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

And yet, you continue to camp out. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

While you're doing that, try understanding how I'm not starving, don't smell, and look great still.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

You're not lying, are you?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Not at all. That's the complete truth.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

I am at a loss. I couldn't do it.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

It takes talent.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

So you don't even have occasional sleepovers with other people you've met here?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Mm. Not yet. I've been a little busy.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

Busy? What's your secret?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Understanding my environment. It's important to do that.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

The environment and I don't really mix. I need walls and a roof and the usual creature comforts, you know? I've been spoiled over the last century or so. Well, even longer than that - but electricity is nice.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Century, hm? You must be one of those "looks good for his age".

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

I like to think so.

It's actually eight centuries, in sum.
