Fuck you, you Initiative bastards.

Do you honestly think that just saying 'sorry, someone hit the wrong button' is really going to cut it? You messed with our heads. Do you know what else messes with peoples' minds like you just did? Demons do. So care to explain to us how you may just differ? Because I see nothing in your defense.

[And the feed cuts....

for about ten minutes so she can stop yelling. She's still irked though, but let's try and keep this part civil.]

Is everyone else all right?

[OOC: If anyone is offended by the language, please tell me and I'll put the first bit under a cut. /o/]

They are.

[She'll pause for a moment,]

Not all injuries are physical. And they don't always show up right away either.

[He looks like he's about to argue, stops, closes his mouth, and then looks troubled. It takes a full minute before he speaks.]

Memory it brought up was a kinda uncomfortable one, I guess.

[It's way, way more than just that, but he's also awkward about sharing with someone he's only talked with once. Except he really wishes he could talk it out with someone, and that brings up other difficulties.]

Made me miss my friends too.

I greatly doubt any memory they could have brought up would be a comfortable one, given the circumstances that they turned everyone else in there against us.

[A beat]

It made me miss my friends, too. But the best thing to consider is that they aren't here with us and they're home and safe. Wars don't last forever, and eventually someone will lose this war and when they do, we might just get our chance to go home. Right?

... Yeah. That was--

[It was unfortunately exactly what one of his secret fears that he just can't shake is. And going through it, even if he knows it was fake, really sucks.]

But are we sure they're safe? I mean, these guys are messin' with the past and shit. They're tryin' to change history so how do we know they ain't erasin' or changin' where we come from too?

Bad? Awful? Inhumane? Yeah, I'd certainly say so.

[She'll sigh.] We can't know. When those we know are brought here from different times and things feel the same when we see them again and events in your lives sound the same then perhaps we can believe it's okay. But just because we don't know doesn't mean we should worry about it. There's nothing we can do but worry from here so... try to stay positive.

I know that up in my head, but it ain't as easy to do as I woulda said when I got here.

[He's just a bit of a worrier, just a bit. He sighs.]

We gotta... Everybody's off doin' their own shit. If we could get together-- Easier to deal with shit when you've got people you know you can count on, you know? Friends watchin' your back.

Just... try your best. [She's honestly not sure what to tell him otherwise.]

I agree. And that's exactly what we'll try to work on.

[Hearing that they'll be working on that does a lot to raise his spirits.]

Good! If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me an' it's done.

[At least something did! And omigoodness he should sew everyone uniforms. ... I'm kidding. A little./o/]

I'll keep that in mind.

[He would be totally happy to.]

Great! Workin' towards gettin' organized and out of here and shit'll keep us all looking up.

[Now I feel that this needs to happen.]

If anything does, you're probably right.

[It would be awesome. But he probably wouldn't think of the idea for himself.]

Even when it's dark an' death's out to get you, you can't give up. 'Cause that's how she wins.

[We'll work on this. One step at a time....

Hah....] Right. A few more could seriously use that attitude.

It's hard at first, 'cause there's some scary shit out there, but the'll get it eventually!

Yes, well hopefully eventually doesn't come too late.

[Pause. That seemed a bit more defeatist like than she intended.]

But I suppose we can make sure it doesn't come to that.

Yeah. I know we can. Pretty sure most of us been through worse. We just gotta get our shit together and become a team.

Teams.

Uh, teams is probably better 'cause there's so many of us.

Well, that was my original idea, but not everyone really seemed willing to agree with that. Which is fine. [Nope, she's still butthurt] There's other ways, I suppose.

[He picks up on it.]

No, it don't sound fine. Sounds like a good idea!

What are the other ways, though?

Many have agreed the idea wasn't bad, but apparently my presentation was the disagreeable part. The fact that everyone is more focused on how eloquent someone speaks rather than their purpose is... [Ugh.] I'm not getting into that.

As for the other ways though, honestly I'm not sure. There's enough interest in the matter but no one seems willing to gather enough to listen to each other.

I don't...

It wasn't bad? I didn't think so anyway. But I ain't elegant or nothing either.

[Eloquent, Kanji, eloquent.]

That sucks. There's gotta be some way to make everybody shut the hell up and sit down and pay attention. Just... Uh. I dunno.

[She'll laugh] It's not a problem. So don't worry. It just doesn't make things any easier either. I doubt it will be long before someone else tries to convince them either. We'll just have to wait until they do.

I wasn't ever the best at waitin' for stuff.

[He sounds a bit sheepish.]

Neither am I.
