[For once, instead of being inside the bar and tending, Blue is wandering the outskirts of the trails around the bar; he's been feeling a little under the weather today, waking up to his head feeling oddly swimmy and a nagging cough that just won't quite clear up. Some fresh air is obviously what he needs, so he's committed to a hike from the apartments, around the bar, and maybe even up the side of the mountain.]
[Crossing paths with others in the void was always a chance thing, since there still weren't any real daily cycles and everyone had their own pace; but he recently came upon the habit of trailing around the newly opened-up ley lines to eavesdrop on anything interesting- for lack of better things to do. It helped him take his mind off of the loneliness he'd been nursing for a while, immersing himself in other people's problems- whether it worked, or not.]
[Stooping over to another coughing fit, he looks back up again to see a familiar figure standing further down the trail, and calls out with a wave.] Oh, Cole! Over here--! [COUGH, HACK. Shouting was maybe a bad call.]
For Cole- start of event
