[This query brought to you by a pretty handful of missing puzzle pieces, not that you'd know, since Lenalee has no intent to justify or explain that imagery, nor to keep picking at scabs until they fester.]

We've already seen how the smallest change made can rewrite the entire history of this world. People are unborn, warheads are undropped... because we've cut out the circumstances which led to their happening.

How do you think that it might be the same for us? Transports come and go so often here and no one knows why. Whatever we do, we are always altering chances, there is no reason not to consider they could also be our own. That someone arrived on a day no longer existing may suddenly leave, or return by new circumstance, or forget they were ever here before.

It may be that we don't "go home", just. "Never arrive".

You and me both. My-- [ "wife" is what he almost says then changes his mind, deciding that's too personal. ] ... Someone I know showed up and she doesn't remember half of what I do, didn't even believe me at first. None of it makes any sense.
mallarkey: (I've made a huge mistake)

Not the good kind, that's for sure. Though my bad dreams are usually worse.
mallarkey: (you ruined it everything's ruined now)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-21 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ He chuckles a little dryly, then sighs. ] You holding up okay? Okay-ish?
mallarkey: except on award-winning tv (being bald does not equal dealing drugs)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-21 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm. ]

Stupid question, huh? It's-- [ Well. ] It'll be okay, or it won't, but we won't worry about if it's not yet. Plenty of time to work toward okay.
mallarkey: (dramatic headturn)

[ Paternal instinct means knowing occasionally when to pull out the comforting bullshit. ]

Me? Oh -- I'm doing great. Been keeping busy. Well, trying to.
mallarkey: can one mansion hold (how many wonders)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-23 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ He pauses. ]

Well, I'd wanted to help put together a list of... not rules, but... guidelines? Some people were thinking it'd be safer to have something down on paper in case of another... in case there's problems. [ Or mutinies. ] Not so easy, though.

[ How to proceed... ]

The kind that keep people from going nuts and trying to wreck everything. [ Amended: ] Or lets us know what to do if it does.
mallarkey: (<-- how much I care)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-25 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ That is the question. ]

So do I. But then what else do we have to lose if it doesn't?

[ Ha... ha... ]
mallarkey: (why did the lawyer cross the road?)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-27 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ MY BAD ]

Well, I won't if you won't. Promise.
mallarkey: (breaking bad series finale)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-28 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Do our best, anyway. [ He exhales. It's tempting to ask if something in particular inspired her question to begin with. ] You should let me know if you need anything. I am a lawyer, I can probably help.
mallarkey: then again so can I (buffers can smell if you've got money)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-01-31 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Not legal help. [ A pause. ] Just added that to sound more important.
mallarkey: (smalltalk is boring anyway)

[personal profile] mallarkey 2014-02-02 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With another pause, then an exhale: ]

Well, we are all stuck together.
