[Kavinsky's white framed sunglasses covered his eyes, for no other reason right now than he felt like wearing them. They'd been the only thing to arrive with him, clothes aside, and though he would've preferred not to be here at all, having his sunglasses was better than nothing.]

S'up. So, I'm getting the impression there's not a big party scene here. Fair enough. Also fucking boring.

What do people actually do for fun? I think I'll lose my mind if all I've got to occupy me's fixing up a place to live.

[Fixing up his living area was good for a while, but it wouldn't last. Eventually, he'd run out of things to fix or clean or make. Probably not today, or tomorrow, or the day after that, but it would happen.]

Also, gotta say I'm a little disappointed. I get abducted by aliens [More or less.] and there's not even any UFOs?

[His smirk said he was joking- mostly.]

something like that
rabbits are too cute though

wait
rats live underground?

[work_wife]

It's like, the stereotypical underground animal in cities.

[burnyoudown]

huh
guess it's been a while since i've been in the city in jersey
don't see a lot of rats in henrietta

[work_wife]

Hawkins isn't really a city and we had a rat problem one summer.

[burnyoudown]

sounds like fun
i know rats get a bad rep but then people also like them as pets??
but i imagine having wild rats invading
like
i dunno
a storage room or something
would be a super pain in the ass

[work_wife]

Or a steelworks.

Anyway, there is a lot of mess in my history.

[burnyoudown]

what would rats find interesting about a steelworks??

[work_wife]

Evil interdimensional monsters.

[burnyoudown]

...okay not what i was expecting
i need to know more about these monsters now

[work_wife]

NDAs prevent me from disclosing more.

[burnyoudown]

oh come on, seriously?
why mention it in the first place then?
now i'm going to be consumed with curiosity for like
the rest of ever

i'm good at keeping secrets

[work_wife]

I mean, curiosity doesn't kill you. Usually

Give me an example.

[burnyoudown]

nah but it can drive you crazy

obviously i can't tell you any of the secrets i'm keeping
but
i've kept quiet about some shit for years so far
others for my whole life
and i don't tell other people's secrets
like
it's not my place to spread what someone else has told me if they don't want people to know

and i know there's a limit on how reassuring that is
cause some people are shitty at keeping secrets
and you can't know until it's too late

[work_wife]

If it comes up, I'll consider telling you.

[Joke is on her, isn't it?]

Some people would fall for that one and tell the secrets, proving they were bad at secrets. Congratulations. You missed the trap.

[burnyoudown]

what???

and yeah
i know
i'm pretty good at spotting traps
i've also used that one before myself

[work_wife]

Smart move. I approve of course.

[burnyoudown]

:)

so
if there's NDAs
does that mean the government knows about that shit?

[work_wife]

Yep!

[burnyoudown]

that explains a lot, actually
i'm sure the government tries to keep a whole bunch of things a secret

[work_wife]

Oh so many things. I know a few of them too.

[burnyoudown]

mm
do you work for the government?

[work_wife]

Fuck no. Never. Never EVER.

[burnyoudown]

ok good
i was getting concerned for a minute
i wouldn't trust the government for anything

[work_wife]

You shouldn't.

[burnyoudown]

glad we're on the same page with that
