we love minimalism in this house (that's why there's no furniture)

[ No, fuck that. What kind of transaction is this guy expecting exactly? Gross. ]

Should I wipe your ass too

Not interested

[salamanca]

In telling me your name?

Lot of dangerous people around, man. Gotta make sure you're not one.

[wingbound]

[ Okay, but why. Unless... what if this guy is the hostile from north east? He was told he'd know where the cabin is, and he certainly would know if he lived in it, right? ]

[ At the very least, they may be allied. ]

Worried I'll hunt down your buddy?

[ If there was ever a message designed to make Lalo lose whatever remains of his mind, this would be it.

He realizes this person thinks he is in league with the man or creature that lives in the cabin. That they are working together.

He smiles. Something clicks. ]

[ A callsign that appeared suddenly... no response when he contacted it. Even now, wondering if perhaps this man was one of the Glencolans, or a friend of Sol's.

Until he got this message. He thinks that maybe this is person might be one of them after all. Seems more like the kind of question one of their number might ask. Impossible to be sure, though. Not enough information.

He thinks back to Rust announcing his death to everyone. Rust's utter disdain for anyone using emojis.

This callsign hadn't been there for that, but a lot of people had. Had they been on the island then? Had they heard what Rust said? Can they hide themselves like AN000N? Are they only pretending not to know his location?

IS THIS CABIN GREMLIN UNDER A NEW NAME??? (No. No it isn't. Even Lalo's paranoia doesn't extend that far.)]

[salamanca]

[ WHO IS THIS? Have they been here the whole time?? Just now come out of hiding?? Are they as new as they seem?

They refuse to give any info. He's never seen them post on the network.

Who

ARE

you??? ]

4/?

[salamanca]

[ Fuming, realizing that he has no leverage and faced with the only possibilities being that he can either provide the info requested in the hopes of maybe learning something, or ending the conversation, Lalo proceeds.

Whatever. It's the detective's walkie anyway. ]

I would advise you to stay away from the northeast cabin unless you have sufficient knowledge of trapping and repelling skilled hunters, and probably not even then. The man who lives there is brutal, and refers to humans as "animals".

He has threatened to torture us.

Can't say he's a buddy of mine. You don't want him to be one of yours. He's tall, at least 6 feet and maybe taller. He killed a man with his own gun.

And... he growls. But it's almost like music. When you hear it. It could hypnotize you if you listen too long.

6/?

[salamanca]

[ Maybe not a buddy but whatever lives in the cabin is bound to Lalo forever now.

FOREVER. ]

Cabin is in the area between Martin's jail and another jail — between the foothills, with a river to the south, and the jungle ten hours to the west of the northeast coast.

Don't go there. Not if you want to live.

You'll know when you start getting close when it's eerie quiet, when there's no noise, no big animals, nothing. Got it?

Now who [ the hell ] are you?

1/?

[wingbound]

[ At least 6 feet tall... ]

2/?

[wingbound]

[ Wow he hates that guy already! ]

3/?

[wingbound]

[ But that's no reason to wade into danger. He's asking because he wants to avoid it, not find it. ]

What is "Martin's jail"

4/4

[wingbound]

Any natural landmarks nearby?

[ Haha sorry ignoring your question entirely :) ]

1/?

[salamanca]

[ S C R E A M I N G who tf are you??? Why do you want to know all of this? ]

2/?

[salamanca]

[ Can't be a friend of Sol's, not if he needs to ask what "Martin's jail" is.

If course, that doesn't explain who he IS. ]

Martin's jail is a structure where one of our residents, Martin Blackwood, was held involuntarily a few weeks ago, when many of us first arrived. It's a concrete building with solar panels on top and three holding cells inside.

[salamanca]

We call it Martin's jail because... well, I'm sure you can guess.

There's a derelict plane cockpit some ways to the north of the cabin. Not a lot of animals. You'll know it when you get there.

Jungle to the east. Foothills to the west.

6/6

[salamanca]

My guess? Most likely, you'll see the cabin itself or see an arrow coming at you before you encounter anything fatal. That happens, get out as soon as you can, back the way you came.

And... I apologize, but I don't think I got your name? Not trying to pry, but it might be nice to know what to call you!

[wingbound]

That's not very accurate

[ HE GOT THE INFORMATION HE ASKED FOR AND HE'S STILL BITCHING ABOUT IT? ]

[ Hopefully Lalo's not waiting for another message because he'd wait a long time... ]

[salamanca]

[ Lalo snorts at this message in disbelief. Who does this guy think he is? ]

What, you want mapped coordinates? Ain't nobody got GPS here, man.

2/2

[salamanca]

Now I'm not gonna ask you again. Who the hell are you?

[ Apparently he's "not gonna ask again" because he won't get the chance to, whoops! He will quietly seethe when it dawns on him that he's not getting another response.

WHO TF ARE YOU??? ]

[wingbound]

[ HE DOES WANT A MAP ACTUALLY, THANKS. He doesn't know what a "GPS" is but he supposes that maybe he is asking too much if most people here don't have a map and there are no landmarks known to everybody that could be used for reference. ]

Fair enough

[ Oh, he's not asking again, is he? ]

Good. It's getting tiring

[ SO HE DIDN'T JUST MISS HIM ASKING FOR AN INTRODUCTION!! HE DELIBERATELY IGNORED IT! Cope and seethe, Lalo, cope and seethe. ]
