[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.]

[ that could easily be his life in a few years, minus Iraq. but he's always saving the world and that's fine as long as Annabeth's at his side but who'd want that life forever? ] Maybe you should try to, when you go home.

I'd probably ask Annabeth something dumb like, 'have I mentioned how much the gods really suck yet?' It's not much but it serves as an ice breaker.
