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.

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.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

So much experience under your belt!

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

So to speak, eh? You tease.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

Do you sleep in the grass?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Sometimes.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

That can't be good for your hair.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

No problems so far. And I've been doing it for awhile now.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

Mad props to you. I would hair to wear a hair net. Or sleep in a heavily fortified tent. Or better yet, a cabin. I try not to let the grass or anything on the ground touch anything aside from the soles of my shoes.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

How adventurous.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

I think shopping with a credit card is adventurous. Or trying out a new hair dye. But I can't do the rustic thing. I guess I've just been too spoiled.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

This will be an interesting question for you...

What is a credit card?

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

WHAT?

You can't be serious.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

Completely.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

You don't have credit cards?

Wow. So there's no credit. Hm. That's a downer.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

You should see the places where the parsoners aren't even allowed to look at money.

[highwarlockmb.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? Like they've taken some holy vow to poverty?

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

No. They're mistreated by sorcerers in my world who are gifted with magic. Parsoners are not.
