Newt rolls his eyes at that, not at all surprised, in fact. "Yeah, well, some people in Darrow are out of their goddamn minds. Namely, the ones who think they're, y'know, native to the place or whatever. It's not as bad as it used to be but when I first got here--there, whatever--you'd get dirty looks just for mentioning you weren't from the city."
More and more often, he notices people seem to be a bit more welcoming of newcomers, though he isn't sure whether that's got more to do with time or like, some kind of reprogramming of their brains. He'd be willing to be on the latter.
"Well, long story short? Ice bees. They busted out of this effigy and stung the shit out of your boss then went after everyone else, the little assholes." So okay, it hadn't really been Todd Chad who'd done the almost killing, but Newt still associates New Year's Eve 2013 with those little fuckers and that little shit with the awful music so it basically is the guy's fault. "I got frostbite from getting stung, dude, it was the worst. You're so lucky you weren't here for that, I heard people's fingers were falling off and everything. Not the best New Year's Eve we've had."
