"You bet I do." Once inside, Johnny popped quickly into the kitchen, and emerged with two glasses with ice, and a bottle of bourbon. He'd fill up the glasses and hand one off to Reno before plopping on the couch.

He wasn't sure what to say, now that Reno had laid all of that out. He was quiet for a few moments as he thought everything over, and sipped his drink. As much as he has wished to see familiar faces from home or Exsilium here, maybe it was a disaster waiting to happen if they did.

"Y'know, last year, not long after I got here, a new batch of Heroes showed up. But a bunch of 'em were already crystallized. They never even had a chance. Worse still, after like an hour or two, they just disappeared. We don't know what happened to 'em."

Johnny looked pensive, staring into his glass, swirling the liquid around. "Someone I knew was there. Lukas. He was..." Johnny's not the type to use the term "best friend."

"A good friend of mine from home. He'd gone missing, 'n I was trying to find him before I ended up in Exsilium. Now I don't know what to think about where he might be."

In an effort to relate to everything Reno's let out, Johnny give him his own story. He was still new when this happened, and he didn't really know anyone here yet, so he had no one to talk about it with yet.
