the weirdest thing you still do because of dayz

almost five years since i took the ural out and i still never said where it went. doc still brings up the ladder thing when i show up

Five years, huh. The ladder hting had a plan — you stayed on the road and we caught up eventually. The Ural you just turned inland and didn't say a word about it after. I still remember the front tyre scuffing something fierce the next mornign. You never did say if the trip was worth it.

Five years and most of the names in this thread have gone quiet. I never saw the blood bag run out myself, heard it from someone who heard it from someone else. Same with the guy at the crossroads — I came on after, but that story followed me for years. I used to think stories were what kept us on the server. Now I mostly just check the crossroads whenever I go north. It’s a habit now, and I’m not sure it means anything. I don’t know what I’d say if there was still a man standing there. I miss looking for him.

for what it's worth, I still don't know what happened with that Ural. the ladder story I only know from the retelling — rye crawling, the group finally catching up — and the Ural feels like that too, thirdhand by now. i drove past the crossroads a couple tmies after 2015 and never saw him either, but I get why you'd look. We talkde about this back then; some spots just keep you checking.

Rye, you finally own up to the Ural but you still skip the part after. I think we all have a spot we check for no good reason. Mox, the crossroads is that for me too, even though I never found nayone there. That shoreline night handing beans to fresh spawns was the only time I can remember the server being quiet like that. It was drizzling the whole way through and nobody shot at us.

Doc, I get the habit. I still stop at the crossroads myself, and its been empty every time since the fifty nights. The Ural's the same — nobody ever found it, so rye never had to explain. Maybe the part after is just the part nobody saw.
