This is the general mingle log for August. Feel free to post open top levels for: new arrivals, job duties, general hanging out in common spaces, bonding with your block, and anything else you can think of. There will not be a catch all for the event, so you can put event starters here or in their own separate log!

[ Aiden crushing the cockroach he'd just been showing reverence for isn't the most unsettling thing going on here but it does add to Felix's impression that this is guy is one uncomfortably creepy piece of work.

He follows the point with his eyes to the blood indicated, which has nearly caught up with him now that he's stopped to talk. ]

The blood is telling me to check in with some rando in a bug-infested hospital. [ Uh... huh. ] You do realise that following this kinda shit is how the first idiot always dies at the start of a horror movie, right?

The patient is bedridden and unable to get up.

[He tries to explain, then glances down at the phone ringing louder. Still doesn't answer, in fact he remains absorbed in how the monster preys on the opponent's inadequacy. It's only bad until it gets good, giving someone the opportunity to fight and kill the embodiment of all the negative self-talk in their head. One could even consider it a service, and Price is curious to see what venom will come out today. Truly is the only form of entertainment.]

I understand your concern, and you don't have to go visit him if you don't want to. However I must inform you that there aren't other ways to spend time, here.

[Opens one of the colouring books, fetches a box of crayons and gently places one in the mouth of a cockroach, enjoying how it still stands up and how little coloured marks are left as if the cockroach is filling in the page.]

If you want to interact with humans, that is.

[ Trying to appeal to his humanity by stressing how the guy can't get up is so not the right way to go about this for Felix. But, he will concede to the other point — Felix isn't really up for starting a cockroach circus or something equally stupid. ]

Fiiine.

[ He throws his arms up, snapping in exhasparation. ]

Let's go tempt fate and hang out with the blood man, I guess, if that's all there is to do around here.

[Price holds back a chuckle and gets up to open the door for him. The phone seems almost angry for being ignored and starts speaking by itself with a raspy male voice, but it doesn't say anything intelligible.]

Oh, pay no mind to the phone. It's no one important. Would you like me to provide you a headset for us to communicate, before you go?

[He's not sure which answer he's hoping for. It's not like he can have a guarantee that his predictions will be correct, but after all it's always the same, formulaic structure which he allows to repeat every time. It's only the man's words that change. He wouldn't be missing much if Felix didn't ask for instructions...But it would still be intriguing.]
