[Adam's not one to display his feeling openly on the network. Mostly because his last communication device did that for him a lot and without him knowing it. While he wasn't for anonymous messages all the time, it was pretty refreshing to just be faceless and not worry what everyone thinks.

And yet there's one that pops up around two in the morning. Same as last time but oh well.]


Have you found yourself hoping that someone from home shows up? Or if you were in a different place before arriving, someone from there will come and remember you?

[Thoughts of an old fart ranger. Pretty deep stuff.]

It was a month ago and I still haven't explained it?

[He shakes his head, laughing at himself lightly. He'll just crash on the nearest seat.]

Long story short, I was on a crew of the last survivors from a string of destroyed worlds. We were meant to be protected cargo, but the original crew's slaughter meant we had to fight. You were there, briefly.

[He look up again, awkward.]

There was a corruptive influnce I failed to protect myself against, even with forewarning. It used my insecurity against me and I hit you. Hard.

[He rubs at his own neck.]

Not everyone around me agreed.

[He shook his head, yanking his shirt collar to the side. A jagged scar marked his collarbone now.]

I was in training to fight that kind of influence, and I didn't take it seriously enough. There was an identical mark on the other you---it could've been your heart if my aim had been accurate. When I woke up, it was the first thing I saw.
oncearanger: (what.)

[Billy looked down to inspect the mark. Ouch. Something that severe had to have taken quite a while to heal---and it was a big event, he was sure. He looks back up, understanding and worry in his expression.]

What scorched you?

Like me.

[Billy looked sad for a moment, then inhaled.]

The person who had to do this. Were they your friend?

What else would you say, if not friend?

[He smiles, though it quickly turns sour, knowing what was likely to have happened.]

...you miss her, huh?

I don't either, but...I have to admit, the selfish part of me is grateful that we don't face this alone.
