[The feed starts out of focus and when it comes back into focus, the view isn't much better. Mostly just a glass of amber liquid, but then these days Seth isn't much seen without one. Not unless a certain friend has been saddled with talking him down again. After a moment though the view shifts, showing the man himself. Midnight black suit, snowy shirt, even his tie is neat and knotted just show.
So much for predictions that after a while he'd start dressing down, though the girl that made the prediction had been shipped home so that might have something to do with it.
Anyone that knows the area though might recognize a booth at Lux. The same one his child self had occupied a few weeks earlier.]
Right so it hit me just now that I've been in this place over a year, which given I haven't stayed in a place longer than about six months since I was eight would be impressive. You know if not for the fact that this is about as mandatory as my last stint, and without the fun knowledge of a release date but with just about as many visit from my brother so that evens out.
[Even without Richie there, Seth's taking jabs at him. Not that he could fault Richie not visiting him in prison, but logic has no place in Seth's rantings.]
Whatever though. Most seem to keep a calendar here and the holidays and all. Christmas. Thanksgiving. What? Arbor Day's coming up, right? What about the rest though? Given we stay our same youthful, beautiful selves [He bites back saying Grunkles not included because dude, what even with the fez] does the rest matter but for ourselves? Do we count the years, or just the celebration of being alive to be stuck in this place? What about anniversaries and other dates from before?
Or does it all just become when you got here, and when all the people that matter left?
[Because for some barely functioning alcoholics without jobs to distract them, that's what's sticking in their heads, apparently.]

Thanks, Seth.
To be fair, the CDC didn't create KA originally. They did try to conceal it during the first outbreaks, though. A CDC scientist took over his 11 year old daughter's blog to get word out via unofficial channels. We consider him one of the biggest heroes of that time period. It's also part of what fueled the trend toward online journalism. Plenty of people didn't trust mainstream media anymore after the Rising. [In other words, Maggie's job is owed to the fact that bloggers were the original source of real information when the dead started walking.]
I'm more upset about all the people who have died because of their bullshit attempts to cover up the truth than about anything else they've done.
Meet you at the stairs?

[Not in his mind but then Seth was a judgmental bastard who wanted someone that he could blame for things.]
Interesting how you guys got your start. From a preteen's blog. [He's definitely teasing, though it's the truth. That doesn't stop it from amusing him and it shows in his smile. A good start over how he was feeling when this talk started.] Can't blame you on that though. It's always about those they get killed.
Sure. Give me a minute to fix my suit, but on my way.
