The Friend that Nobody Likes

( Sid Jenkins )

Now I know this is a bad bloody trip. Earthquake. Broken ankle. Shattered buildings. And it's all back to normal. So, right.

Anders - the Pyramid court is back to its half-finished state and I think we ought to finish it and have a tournament in celebration or something.

George - I feel as though we should hang out...but without the pudding in my face and all that, yeah?

Bob & Cheryl - you two, me, the petrol station, and spliff until we're completely retarded.

Jenny - All right? I think we should start off on the right foot now that we can.

Doctor - ...thank you. Really.

And all that said...has anyone seen, by chance, a short, thin blonde girl who says "oh wow..." a lot and calls herself Cass or Cassie? I figure if this is a dream, she ought to have shown up by now, yeah?

Citizens of this fucking horrible place, let it be known...there is spliff weed!

Er...right, so...the Doctor bloke says we should stay in large groups and insinuated we should hide so, right there's lots of space at the theatre and if I could get a couple of strong blokes to help me, there's loads of space under the stage but the rubbish needs to be cleared out first.

My guess for capacity for the theatre itself is well over the lot of us, but under the stage, maybe...ten, eleven? At least comfortably.

So..right, just...throwing that out there, then...

[letters scribbled in, in addition underneath the original message to make them look darker]
If you're alone or you stay alone, there's loads of space here so you won't feel cramped, but anyone who isn't already here, at the museum (apparently), or the gym, should get to one of those places as soon as possible and if at all possible, come in pairs or groups, yeah?

((OOC: if you don't want to be spoiled for MAJOR plot points in Skins, don't read this entry.))

All the girls here are, like...nice. It's weird. Sometimes I actually think they care. That's...new. The blokes are pretty cool too, don't get me wrong, it's just...'m not used to girls noticing me unless they want something. I don't get that feeling here. I almost like it if it didn't make me so uncomfortable and paranoid.

I still miss Cass. A lot. 'm not sure I'll ever see her again... I hope she's happy and safe, though, if I can't be there to see for myself. I hope she misses me, too, or at least thinks of me.

The snow has made things rather difficult and I've never been quite as bored as I have been all day today, though on the up side, Anders - I found a rubber ball that might actually be better for Pyramid than the football we found. Still light weight, but it's a bit smaller. I can throw and catch it with one hand, that is. Like you said, yeah?

[Private to self]
I have learned three things today so far and the day is still young.

1.) George is a girl.
2.) The milk is bad, don't drink it.
3.) Immaturity a la Sixth Form and A Levels never ends. I'm just glad I'm not on the receiving end heh.

Keeping my head down.

Anders - Pyramid today, yeah?

Logan,

Bored. Took a walk. Think I'm in front of the theater, judging by the map.

-Sid

Fags - cigarettes, lest I be asking for a row.
Spliff - just weed, because apparently spliff is a bizarre word and "blunt" is even more ridiculous no matter what anyone says.
Cylons - robots
Frak = Fuck
Pyramid - basketball-sort of sport with a weird-shaped court
Pissed - angry, because apparently Americans don't realize it actually means "drunk"

Still not clear on what a mutant is.

Er...hi? I've been looking through this book and it looks fucking weird..., erm, seems like there's other people here, since it looks like some of the ink is pretty fresh and it's not mine. So...right...

If people are still here and can see this, I'm Sid. Where are we? It's just, I was in New York looking for someone and I'd like to get back soon.

At least the good news is...I found a petrol station and got some fags. Brilliant! Now if I could just find some spliff and a beer, I'd be all set... Even better, there's beer! One-man rave coming right up.

[Edited in sloppily after the fact]

Oh and what was that noise earlier? Is there a fire somewhere?
