Well…diary…journal…whatever. Looks like I’m still at Arklay.

So far so good. Not really the longest I’ve stayed in one place if I’m counting holing up in my dorm room for a month or two…and I do count it. But that was a place I was familiar with. This place, not so much really.

Despite that, the people seemed nice enough. Of course, everyone kept asking what I was before everything when to hell in a hand basket. Not sure what they were getting on about. Are they trying to size me up? See if I’m some lunatic or murderer? At least one person I met by the name of Bruce who apparently works security at the hospital/shelter seemed to wanna know to help me figure out where I could work.

It was great and all but I’m still not completely sold on this place. But, I had decided that I was willing to give a city a try after all that time being on my own and merely watching people act “normal” from the sidelines.

So maybe I can see about really doing that. Trust hasn’t been easy on me and I don’t think that’s about to change anytime soon really. But just MAYBE, I could start learning to trust around here.

They are careful around here. More careful than others I’ve seen. Had a rule about a mandatory new person check up with a doc. Making sure you don’t have any bites or diseases. It’s been nearly two years since I’ve seen a doctor. Well a live one anyone. Most docs were in hospitals where the undead were and got munched on making them undead too.

Who knows with this place if it’s really the best place for me? Guess there’s only one real way to find out. Apparently, they do sorta scout out for people to help. Bruce suggested either working for the shelter as a doc since I studied psychology in school or joining up with the security force.

At least with the security force, I might be able to keep my weapons on me all the time. Maybe it says how paranoid I’ve gotten that I feel naked without them. But they’ve kept me alive better than anything else has really. I wouldn’t have made it this far without them.

Either way, I’m gonna try and stick it out. I’ll stay here at the shelter tonight and maybe one more before I see about holing up somewhere else. Don’t wanna make a nuisance outta myself.

Well…guess that’s it for now. Time to turn in.
