Text; another poll

[alsohawkeye]

Hey everyone.

I'm sure some sort of demographics survey has been done in the past but I haven't seen one since I've been here and I'm curious. I've tried to keep it pretty basic. I know people are touchy about their privacy, and I know some aren't cool with being asked about special abilities/skills/powers/whatever, so obviously skip questions if you want to, no hard feelings. I'd rather just get name/age/planet than nothing at all, you know? Not like I'm going to hunt you down and force you to fill it out. But if you're willing to be more complete that'd be awesome and if there's something you think is important that I didn't include a field for, let me know.

Maybe there's a pattern here somewhere, maybe there's not, but at the very least it might be interesting or provide some useful data for department recruitment or something. Maybe you'll find some friends, whatever.

Thanks!

[ oh fine. apart from the fact you're really obvious there, emma, angelus doesn't mind just maneuvering around that and going it from a different angle. ]

So was my son. Took some time to adjust but he was okay.

[ 'okay.' yeah. right. connor was hunky dory. ]

[uncurse]

Your son was kidnapped?

[slipperysoul]

When he was an infant.

[ It makes her feel guilty. He'd lost his son, and she'd given hers up. Now that she's lost him again, she feels extra miserable for it. ]

I'm sorry.

[slipperysoul]

Don't be. We got him back.

[ As a little shit, but Angelus probably won't be mentioning that part anytime soon. It doesn't really go with the pathetic sob story that Angel wouldn't even be telling in the first place. Considering the misery the man exudes, Angelus' not entirely sure why he doesn't tell it to everyone he runs into but now he's making it up for him. ]

[uncurse]

Doesn't change the fact that you lost him in the first place.

[ She has Henry back—or did—but it can't erase the time she'd gone without him. Ten years of loneliness and heartbreak, only to realize that his best chance had always been with her after it was too late. ]

[slipperysoul]

No, it doesn't. You'll always be reminded of the day they were taken, just by looking at them. It'll always be there. The mistake you made. Think you made.

[ What a load of shit. ]

[uncurse]

Sometimes it feels like all I've been doing the past ten months is play it over again in my head, wondering what I could have done differently.

It was his dad's fiance who did it. I knew she was bad news from the minute she came to town, but it wasn't enough.

[slipperysoul]

I still wonder what I could've done differently. What I should've tried harder to do, if I could take back one thing. I don't think you ever stop second guessing everything you did up to the point where they were just gone.

Do you know why?

[uncurse]

Wish we did.

[ Her second-guessing involves the assumption that it was a consolation prize. Can't destroy the magic in Storybrooke? Better snag Henry and leave them all devastated since they can't be left dead. Emma can't imagine what Tamara gets from taking him to Neverland. ]

[slipperysoul]

I always wondered if knowing would help.

[ Because lying about murders makes it that much easier. ]

[uncurse]

It'd sure as hell help me kick her ass and take him back.
