Tumbleweed

I need Whiskey

If one more thing goes bad I’m going to… lose it.

(Hes sitting on a roof and staring ahead of himself)

this…. This is what I was avoiding….

(He sighs and tucks his knees to his chest)

Why did I do this to myself again

Flarp man I got way too high last night.

//YAYYYY BIRTHDAY

(Hes Smoking From a Little chrome cylinder with a glowing blue tip. He exhales a faintly glowing blue and pink swirling cloud.

He sighs and lays down on the ground, staring up into the sky)

Hm…
I mean. The only explanation I can really think of is that we’re from different dimensions.
I mean I know interdimensional doors can fritz like this sometimes but I haven’t used one recently…

(He sighs)
I dunno.. maybe. But I’ve looked everywhere for her. I keep thinking I’ve found her but…

I mean it looks like her… but from I’ve seen this person ain’t like her at all…

Well I woke up in the same spot I went to bed. But my partner wasn’t there. And I cannot find her anywhere

Same here…

Well. Guess I can start.
Basically, seems. Almost the same from where I came from. But the uh. The people are different.

(Sniffle…)
Bleh….. cmon… it hasn’t been that long….

I miss Sylvia….
ughhh… stupid Universe….

So you just woke up here too?

Maybe we could share notes.

hm.. guess we are in a similar boat then.

I go by tumbleweed right now. Might change. We’ll see.

nyeh I can’t be too mad… I do that too…

(He steps toward the tree and clambers up to a different branch)

You lost here too?…

(He flinches slightly, squinting up at them)

Yeesh. Don’t Ya Know not to sneak up on folks?

(He huffs)

Well fer starters, how the flarp i got here.

Ok… I think. I’m starting to put some stuff together…

Which is only raising more questions honestly.

(He sighs)

We could use both?..
You look from the cloud and I look from the bubble

Oh yeah yeha yeah orbble. For sure.

(He digs in his hat and pulls out orbble juice)

I’ll. Come up with you. But don’t try any funny business

Oh.. yeah that would explain it.

(He hesitates, looking very unsure)

Look you seem real nice n all but I don’t think I trust you enough ta go anywhere with you. I can’t risk it

(He blinks at cloudy)

Woah… how’d you do that

I’d appreciate the help but I doubt you’ll be able to find anythin that I don’t…. I mean I’m.

(He blows a raspberry)

Lost my train of thought….
yeah sure whatever.

Grop darn it.
You would think it wouldn’t be this hard huh.

(He groans and pulls his hat over his eyes)

Yeah shes got blue skin and a pink comb.

(He perks up at this)

Uh yeah it is Sylvia. Have you seen her? She’s wandered off and I can’t find ‘er for the life of me!
I swear i dunno what I’m gonna do with that darn horse.

Yeahhh That’s Mostly the Drink kickin in though. It’s strong stuff

(He shrugs and smirks for a moment, then sighs and puts his cigarette back in his hat)

Sorry, kid. Im not Great at uhhhh.

I’m tryin to be less of a “grumpy old asshole”. my partners words not mine.

Nooo I had no idea that these are bad for me.

(His voice is dripping with sarcasm. He takes another Deep breath and puffs shimmering blue and red smoke into the air. He blinks slowly and stares at it)

Ohhhh wow lookit That.
Ehehhh..

Huh…

(He pulls a Small chrome tube from his hat and twists it, the end glowing a brilliant blue color. He puts it in his mouth and takes a deep breath. Ah it’s a cigarette or some kind)

It’s called Event Horizon, and your statement earlier was right. it will get me “inebriated” as you put it.

No. It ain’t my name.. but he looks like me?
Huh. Weirrrrrd…
