People disappear a lot here. Anyone who's been here more than two jumps knows that by now. That there's no predicting the comings and goings.

[Nothing new so far. As he said.]

But what really bothers me is... it bothers me less, now. This is the third time, with Luke. I think that I might actually be getting used to it.

[And that's actually quite horrifying.]

Someone has come and gone three times?

I apologize, for your friend. I am only surprised to hear such frequency.

...It is as difficult not to lose heart as it is to secure it, certainly.

You are not alone in the struggle, but it must still come as alarming to realize we adjust to our struggles so resolutely that they do not seem so anymore.

Were that I could say something of more comfort.

Can't say that I have much experience with people coming and going out of my life like that so often.

[There was that time with Tracy, but they don't talk about that.]

But I have learned that it's lack of not caring that can eat at you more than the caring that the person's gone. As long as you remember them when they were here, you probably won't carry around guilt for not wanting them in a place that promises pain and grief on a normal basis.

Specially a fairly sweet kid like that Luke.

Then I am sorry.

[She isn't sure what else she can say. There is a curiosity about it, but it seems inappropriate to ask anything further. It isn't her business, especially when the man is somewhat grieving.]

I can see how you'd get used to it. You can get used to a lot of things if they happen a lot.

I'm sorry though.
talkingaintdoin: (Satisfied with that answer)

[personal profile] talkingaintdoin 2015-04-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's something that you can take comfort in, sure. But I understand you got your hands full with that daughter of yours.

[She's a practical kind of person. She has sentiments, but she focuses on what she can do.]

I've always found it best to start at what can be done and worry about non-essentials later.

It is. I didn't think I was going to be stuck here this long.

The tree does not ask the birds to stay, holds fast and safe to the soil for something solid when they return.

Are we keeping records of how long people have been on here?
talkingaintdoin: (Wanna run that by me again?)

[personal profile] talkingaintdoin 2015-04-26 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine she would be. Not easy losing those we love to things that don't make sense.

[She can't think about what going home meant for her and Wash though. Not a pleasant thought by half.]

As for you, you just stay by her and be her dad. Doubt she's looking for more than that. And helping her will probably help you in the long run.

[ someone looks more than a little ragged right now, but he has been pinged by mention of Luke.]

Wait, wait-- so you can vanish just as easily as you appear? What the hell kind of place is this?

...uh, yeah.

[ he has been in enough shit in his life to know that that tone of voice does not bode well for him.

but hey, he doesn't flinch. just scratches the back of his head and hopes that murder isn't looked upon fondly here. ]


Apparently? I mean, can't say I remember the first time...

You'll... have to pardon me? I don't quite follow.

That is to say, he is perhaps your step-son then...?

Makes sense. ...I'm only really starting to make friends now. So I haven't lost many people yet. And the only person from my world, I was glad to see go.

[Making friends is hard and Wheatley was always a potential threat.]

You're right. I'm just really new to it. The entire concept of it really. I have a few I think would be called friends now.

Oh, Leia is one.
