The sound of another person's voice shocked Joel out of his drilling. Fumbling with his tool, he dropped the drill. Quickly picking it back up, he inspected it for any kind of damage. Once he was sure that it was still fine, he turned to address the stranger talking to him. It was then that he realized something; he really [i]hadn't[/i] seen this person before. She was a complete stranger. Joel hadn't seen a new person in years. Had he been a black blooded person of ambiguous gender, he might have vocalized his feelings with 'I don't know how to deal with this.' However his blood was in fact red, and he was very much a guy, so he had to settle for something else. "[color=fff79a]My...my name is Joel?[/color]" It was about this time that Joel was starting to realize something else very important "[color=fff79a]wait...you're a girl!? And you look clean! But...but how is that-[/color]" Joel froze when a thought occurred to him. Quickly checking his hair and face, he made yet another startling discovery "[color=fff79a]...I'm clean too!? How is any of this possible!? Wait...if I'm clean but don't remember bathing, then that means...someone bathed my while I was unconscious! I feel so violated. I thought it was good news that I wasn't in the mines any more...but now I don't know. Oh well...at least I can finally see the sky.[/color]"
