[What]

Okay. What the hell is going on? Is this some kinda sick joke?

[Oh good. Another him. Gotta be the town's work.]

You think I've got a better idea?

[wow, it really does sound like him. So maybe somehow he really is seeing himself right here and he hasn't lapsed into some kind of Silent Hill induced delusion. Maybe. It's happened before. Sort of.]

Guess not. Figured there'd be no harm in asking, though. In case you knew more than I did about all this.

[he gestures to encompass everything around them]

This is just... weird. Even after everything else. I feel like I'm going crazy right now.

[Murphy shakes his head. Just as baffled as his other self.]

No kidding. It's just one thing after another in this place... I'm starting to think something's pulling the strings around here. The people here are spooked about something for sure.

Exactly. This place isn't normal. There's something going on. Something weird and something... wrong.

It's not like the normal world anymore.

[He shook his head.]

No..Not gonna lie.. I'm a little freaked out by what that woman was saying on the roller-coaster from hell..

Maybe that's what they're not talking about? [Hey at least when he's thinking out loud he can legit say it's to someone now 8Db]

[it's more relieving than anything to talk to someone he knows won't think he's crazy]

Yeah, it was like... I was hoping it was all just some kind of tourist trap scheme to scare kids but the more I see the more I think... all of this. It's gotta be happening to us for a reason.

Everything she said, that's gotta have something to with it.

[That is until an outside part comes in and sees him literally talking to himself.]

Yeah. But when has our luck ever been that good?

I hope you're right about there being a reason. I'm getting screwed about enough as it is. Blackwood seems pretty damn intent on us being here though.. If he wouldn't keep disappearing and being so damned cryptic then maybe I'd be more willing to play along..

Unless that's just part of it.. [Groan.]

Never. You've got a point there. We've always had pretty shitty luck, huh?

There's gotta be some reason. I can't believe it's all just happening because we happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Part of me kinda thinks maybe all of this is... some kind of punishment.

[he waves his arm behind him as if to encompass all of Silent Hill and its concepts]

But I can't think like that. Shit, if I start thinking like that, there's no telling what I'll let happen.

[he shakes his head]

But you're right about Blackwood, that's for damn sure. Popping in and out like some kind of ghost. It's like he's bent on not telling us what we want to know no matter what.

Where the hell do you think you're going, Pendleton?

[obligatory gun pointed at your face, Murphy]

I guess you won't know whether it's better than prison or not, because prison is exactly where you're going. Hands where I can see them.

[auofogj-- Oh shit it was Anne. He puts his hands up in front of his chest, wondering what the hell this woman's problem was.]

You really think this is the best time for this? This place is messed up, I don't even know what's going on.

Save it.

[when he complies, she relaxes, though just marginally. Anne relaxed is pretty much the same as anyone else overdosing on uppers. Honestly she realizes he has a point, as much as she hates to admit it. This place is messed up, and she'd dearly like to know what's going on, and if there was ever a time for doing something besides accusing him of everything she can think of, it's now. Her current mindset is difficult to break out of, but she tries]

Well, something is going on, that's for sure. I've never seen anything like it. I'm starting to think we might be the only ones alive.

[it's an eerie thought]

And those things... those creatures.

[she gives him a hard stare]

Know anything about those?

[If it were anyone else who didn't have the hair trigger temper of a pmsing Rotwieler - terrier hybrid.. he'd have told her to put out the fuse on her tampon. Sadly, exceptions had to be made.]

I've seen two other guys around.. one's a creepy postman and the other guy was the mine train operator.. before he threw himself into Devil's Pit.

[The announcer on the tracks did say something..]

...It's fucking crazy, but it's something to do with a cult that operated here before it became this ghost town. That's all I know, I swear.

[Anne slowly lowers her gun, though she doesn't stop giving him that look]

Alright, so your story checks out. That's what I've heard too. What I can't figure out is why, or how. These kinds of things... they don't happen. Not outside of movies. But they are, and it makes me wonder if we're imagining all of this.

[her expression changes from accusatory to just simply determined]

What exactly have you seen? Those creatures... what did they look like to you?

[God damnnit woman. He frowns, getting decidedly more annoyed with that damn look.]

I've seen women in trench coats that are like damned banshees, and tall.. fleshy things that have long, thin limbs. They like to drop from the ceiling on me. A lot.

[Them manly screams. She must have followed him by listening to him scream like a girl scout every time something jumped him.]

You're not too hurt are you? I've got a first aid kit if you need it..

[the gun moves to her holster now and she looks relieved, no longer accusing or angry. It's a rather dramatic change and she actually looks her age without a scowl drawing her face into lines]

That's what I saw, too. In the mine, and around town. What I can't figure out is why. Where these things come from, what they have to do with what happened here, and why the rain brings them out.

[she tucks a flyaway strand of hair that's gotten loose from her ponytail, and she's started pacing but at his question she stops and looks at him, looking almost confused. She has no clue how a criminal got so considerate, and it makes her just stare at him for a moment, curiously]

No, I'm alright. Thanks.

[she gives him a quick once-over]

What about you? I've been following your screams all over town. Those things didn't do too much of a number on you, did they?

[When she wasn't scowling, he had to admit, yes, she was damned pretty. But that was hard to forget when she was constantly pointing a gun at you and calling you a scumbag. Fix this? >y?
>n?
>Decide later]

Whatever it is, it seems to make this place be in the middle of monsoon season 24/7.

[He looks concerned for a moment.]

But I saw you fall from a cliff how are you alright? Let alone walking?

[Murphy's manly pride stat decreases dramatically. Looking somewhat awkward he strategically looks away.]

...Apparently only to what's left of my pride. No, I'm fine. Just freaking out about what's happening, is all. Look we should stick together, safety in numbers and all, right?

Yes, apparently. I've never seen this much goddamn rain in my life.

[she raises an eyebrow, giving him a quick "why would you care?" sort of expression. She still hasn't started scowling again but she doesn't look entirely comfortable around him, either]

There was a branch a couple of yards down, and a ledge under that that, got into the mine through some caves.

[at the obvious way his manly pride is wounded her mouth gives a small, involuntary twitch. Now that she knows those weren't the screams of a human being in dire peril, it's almost funny to think of how many of them there were. It's like he's spent the entire time they've been in Silent Hill screaming. But she'll sort of side-eye him at the thought of all this sticking together business, even if she knows it's a good and valid suggestion]

You've got a point there. But no funny business, do you hear me? I won't hesitate to shoot you if I have to.
