I didn't have family. Well, I didn't know where they were. I wish I had someone to talk to, someone familiar and responsive.

...I did have one friend, as crazy as he may have been. "I'm just gonna... see if I got friends and such still alive." And with that, I walked off, heading opposite of where Robert and Elena were going while creating weird slapping noises on the asphalt with my feet. The world was as broken as usual - dragons still flew around, houses were abandoned, vehicles were vandalised... "God damn it. Why couldn't have just made it into a hangout roleplay?"

"What?" Sure enough, Richard would find me eventually. "You were sayin'?"

"The world's fucked up. And, hey Richard." I greeted him, starting off with a bad tone before cutting to a normal one I used for greetings - calm and slightly relaxed. He was still a damn yellow bird with a belt or so, but he was more or less himself. Well, his feathers were kinda ruffled. I never really his accent, thinking he was just making it up the whole time.

"Eh, 'ello Miles. If y'ask me, the world's still pretty calm." Well, I walked over to him, while he was sitting on a dented car will all sorts of char marks on it.

"You like popped right behind my back. How are you doing?"

"Well... I... I dun' know. All I've been doin' is robbing, flying and maybe a little killin'." He replied, rather lazily and obviously tired. He got off the car and ruffled his feathers. "I'm still not used t'this shite body." Richard dusted off his wing while a kid running beside us was screaming about the sudden lack of Internet.

"Ergh, damn kids... anyway, eventually, you will. I mean, look at me - I'm not morphing into a human anytime soon." I told him, although he didn't really seem to care. "You wanna... do something?"

Richard looked around, turning his head left and right. "Nope. I got m'own business to mind. Keep safe, would'ya?" And so, he thundered off into the air. Like, literally - he just flew up and let out a lightning bolt which nearly blinded me.

"Uh. So much for trying to talk." So, I headed back to the spot where we were to all meet up, after like 10 minutes. My little talks consisted of about a minute of talking, unfortunately. So, I decided to track Robert's house to find something to do.
