wow... fancy place.

can't let myself get sidetracked. sasha's definitely here somewhere and after those three murders i can't risk letting them get away.

this is a little weird... what's a serial killer doing in a cafe days after a hit? this doesn't seem like a place i'd go...

if i were a serial killer... and i am not.

there's a reception over there... i should tell them who i am. the press. i get the feeling if sasha goes here at all they're probably a regular... i just hope they're still here.

hi i'm, from the, news, i

hi.

uh huh. you've been really helpful. thanks.

wait. where's sasha evans? are they here? eating or drinking?

oh, sasha's a regular. just there, by the window. drinking.

the walk gives me time to think about how high brow this place is again. everybody's so tall and obviously perfected.

sasha sticks out like a purple peg in a brown hole drinking a single cup of coffee.

i stand up straight and walk over.

evans. journalist junior, cbbc. can i sit?

uhhh ok. i wanna talk about those murders a bit anyway.

that's great. so do i. are you in a mood to answer questions?

sure.

great. so did you stick to the goals you set yourself last month?

by design i tried to set myself pretty achievable goals last month- the big two were "write a song" and "stop making games". i did write a song (it's playing now!)

i think it sounds pretty good. it's the best song ive written by far but i retained almost no experience from making it.

i did also stop making games. i started playing games again! rayman legends was on sale so i bought that. having all this free time has really made the days seem longer which is something ive really appreciated.

but when i started there was definitely something i really enjoyed about making games- so ive built a pretty good relationship with prototyping. none of them have really come to a satisfying conclusion yet but getting ideas out of my head and my head out of my ass has been really worth it too.

letting my stamina for this kind of thing drop has really helped me with feature creep. if i ever manage myself well enough i could probably make a prototype that is, honest to god, fun, and from there i pretty much just need a title screen before i can publish it somewhere.

so, yeah. i stuck to my goals. the biggest project i worked on this month was just making this blogpost, actually. that is well introspective.

uh... huh.

any other questions?

yes. did anything else happen to you this month?

yes! a couple of other things, but not a lot. for example, a while ago my brother ordered a bunch of stuff from itemlabel, and my stupid fucking creature arrived. i despise him.

actually thats about all that happened to me outside of school.

except for-

except for the murders, yeah. i actually just did them so i could have more to yap about in this blogpost but honestly there's not so much to say.

how'd you find out about the murders anyway?

by putting the clues together.

uh, sure.

anyway i was thinking i might leave now. the fuzz is really on my trail for those murders and i have places i should really be.

ok. quip time.

the only place you have t- should- should be is PRISON!

i couldve done worse. i could also be dead though

what?

look i really wasnt gonna mention it but some of those questions were kind of invasive. im just gonna put it out there that i think you're kind of a weirdo and leave this cafe.

i'm an interviewer... this is what i do...

they left.

well there wasnt a lot i couldve done about that.

as im here maybe i should look at the menu, place an order... maybe i should just go home.
