[Tommy's transmitting this from the bar, where he basically has been living ever since his last post. He sounds a little distant, distracted, and very very drunk.] I had a wife back home. Jeanie... We married before I shipped out to Iraq. Never even had a chance to open our wedding gifts. [Gifts that he shot.] Never will, now. [BECAUSE HE SHOT THEM. Also, he's in space. Which is good, since she has a restraining order against him.]

I keep thinking about what I'd do if I ever saw her again. What I'd say... [How he'd make things right.]

I know I'm new here, but I can't be the only one missing someone. You all have somebody, right?

[He's quiet for a while, then:]

What would you say if you could see 'em again?

[OOC: To folks I owe tags to: I have not forgotten! Just gonna play catch up later today.]

[ Lor's thought long and hard about how he'd answer this. he misses his own wife like crazy. so maybe he can understand that. ]

I'd tell her that I'm sorry for being so pushy. [ if he hadn't been, they never would have gotten separated. ] Why, what would you say?

About the same thing. I'd tell her I'm sorry, that... [That what? That he'd have his shit together? The fact that he's even made this transmission shows that he doesn't.] That I'll try harder. [To be the kind of man she deserves.]
