[Sure, we've got plenty of unit posts, but what about everything that doesn't fit into one of those? Feel like making yourself a snack? Want to have an emotional outburst in the lobby?

Mingle away, folks.]

I mean. We know we got lied to.

Exael said she was with heaven, too, right?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

Yeah. But distrusting everything is going to drive us crazy.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Bold of you to assume we're not going crazy anyway.]

...yeah. I know that.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

[Crazier faster]

So what are you going to do? For yourself?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

About what?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

What this place does to us. Wants from us. Are you going to go along with it or do you intend to fight it?

We all have to figure out how to keep our sanity, whether that means letting this place divide us and force us to prioritize or something else.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I dunno. I guess, the plan's always been to hang on till we got an out, then take it. Bust out and burn the place down, you know?

[He's quiet for a beat or two - silence where he's not emotionally honest enough to put some things into words.]

I still - I think if we got any chance, we're gonna have to work together.

[Another beat of silence, longer this time.]

But I'm gonna keep her safe, no matter what.

....

Nya got shot in the back, his first round, before he did anything. Way before Nemesis popped up and scared the shit out of him.

I don't agree with his reaction to fear. I don't agree with yours.

But I'm not going to judge what you believe is right, or how you think you should handle things. Part of me is so scared and freaked out about my loved ones getting hurt, about seeing them dying, about how much it kills me that I didn't fight to help... So I get it.

But I'm convinced everyone here can be better than their fears. Even if all of us, including--especially--me, stumble sometimes.

[He's quiet for a long, long moment.]

[Then he nods, slow.]

...I'll try harder next time.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

Thanks.

And for the record if you hadn't stabbed me I might have tackled you, so feel about that how you want.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

...

Anyway, uh. That's all I came for. S-so.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

...Hurricane. If you want to yell or something I'm all ears.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nah, I. I'm good.

Gonna head home, unless you got more questions or something.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

You really don't look like you're good. What are you thinking about?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

Getting pie or something for after dinner.

You wanna come by, I'll keep you a slice.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

... Does that help?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

...what, pie?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

I mean, pie too. But I mainly meant not screaming a little when you kind of want to.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

...still playing twenty questions, huh?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

You just kind of seem... still stressed would be putting it lightly.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just tired.

I'm doing okay. I roll with the punches.

Re: Day 79, early evening

[awakenerd]

What is the definition of okay to you?

Re: Day 79, early evening

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know.

[Vague handwave.]

Okay.
