The reports seem to be mixed. Have those of you who have returned found yourselves safe places and warm clothing? Some have offered already; I should hope the message has reached those in need.

I'm not certain of what remaining here could be of use to you Earthside, but it can be brought when I join you. But not just yet.

[a beat.]

The people...

What are they like now?

[firstroar]

[an unpleasant thought.]

Frustrating...

[crab]

You're telling me. But I think I would take her over the Initiative. She knew what she was doing. They don't have the slightest fucking notion.

[firstroar]

What did you like about it there? [the city.]

[crab]

I didn't like it. [ it's not dishonest. ] I don't like any of these inter-universal waste sphincters. I just disliked it slightly less than here.

[firstroar]

[well that's. depressing.

is this a teenager alien thing?]

It may change. [rather, it ought to; nature of living, etc.]

[crab]

It won't. [ stubbornly, with purpose behind it. he won't let it change. he won't give the initiative the satisfaction of seeing him fall in line with what they want for him -- even if it goes against his best interests. ]

[firstroar]

It may not. [it's as likely, isn't it? among all the crazy things...]

You've seen and endured a lot. Much more than I have, perhaps, for as long as I've lived. What you feel on it has to be right, because it's you.

[crab]

[ uuuuugh no don't be understanding at him, it's throwing him off.

he ends up just disconnecting. he is in no emotional state to deal with kindness from blue now, knowing what he does about him. if he weren't so set on avoiding her, too, he'd have some serious words he'd want to have with ruka about this entire debacle. ]
