A Stranger’s Just a Friend You Haven’t Met (pt 2)

Stayed behind today after CCF in MC 2034. Made a couple new friends. Was working away on my laptop as they came in. Chatted with one, then both, back to the one, then silence, and then the other returns.

They’re in the process of finishing off islands arranged to look like all the continents of the earth. They have the world’s tallest building. They [...]
