Cassian just sort of lets his eyebrows arch slightly at Poe's reaction; whatever happened must have occurred quickly, and it clearly shook Poe to the core. He feels bad; there's no good way to explain what it feels like, to have emotional context come along with memory and know that none of it happened. Or at least it doesn't appear to have happened, not really. ]
Not much.
[ Cassian finishes his second drink. ]
There was a body, in the river. Not human, which is strange for this place; Earth is a pre-spaceflight planet, really, and doesn't seem to have an otherwise occupied solar system. So either that has changed, and the information available here hasn't kept up - or we aren't on Earth at all. [ He'll take either, to be honest. ] It was shot with a hollow-point, and whatever was in it's system probably killed it based on my roommate's findings. He works at the hospital - [ Cassian explains, with a wave of his hand ] and is good people.
Anyway. Body, in the river, infected everyone in town through the water supply. Which tells me that we're isolated in more ways than one, and this might be as much about keeping people out as it is about keeping the rest of us in.
Be nice to know if that wall makes people feel the same way coming in as they do trying to go out. Either way, meant for safety or not, it's a prison.
[ Poe tops himself off again without thinking about it, not paying attention to how much he has or hasn't drunk. It's something to do with his hands.
He toasts Cassian and knocks the whole thing back recklessly, squinting and making a face after he swallows. ] Well. I think it's safe to say this sucks.
