The longer I'm in the City, the less I find I have a need to say on the network.  What hasn't been said already?  Anything I could type has undoubtedly been said already--and more eloquently--in the hundreds of thousands of network entries before this one.

The lack of original content, I've noticed, doesn't prevent anyone from posting (and I include

One could say that hardily anything we say nowadays is original... just an inversion.

[absinthe_eyed]

I would say it's repetition without inversion.

[sword_boy]

Nah... then it would make us feel like we have no free will if we were just going through the motions.

[absinthe_eyed]

Maybe we have the free will to repeat ourselves endlessly.

[mad_here]

Hey... is that supposed to be critical, or just depressing?

[absinthe_eyed]

How would you rather take it?

[mad_here]

It's not much of a choice, if both alternatives are bad.

[absinthe_eyed]

I would argue that it would be better to assume it was supposed to be depressing.

What do you want to talk about?

[absinthe_eyed]

...The living situation. Yours and mine.

[chasingmorning]

...do you want to give it a real try?

Or did it it not really work staying over...I know you've been upset..

What would you like to do?

I--what would you like to do? It's common enough to share apartments... if you wanted, we could. Share one, is what I mean. An apartment. Unless that would be inappropriate.

Detective Beckett was newly appointed to be the head of the police force.

Since you've been absent due to whatever personal reasoning that isn't my concern, I've taken the liberty to be more active in the daily administration of the forensics department on your behalf. I saw it necessary in the current situation. I will, of course, step down when you return to work.

[And as if it weren't clear yet:] ...This is Dr. Brennan, by the way.

[ooc: I know we haven't discussed this in ooc, but I felt like this would be something Brennan would do with Justin absent and nobody else really running the daily matters in the forensics - I hope this is alright? I don't want to step on any toes. If not, just say so and I'll delete this/revise, no problems. :)]

Thank you, Dr. Brennan.

Would you be interested in being the head of the forensics department?

[ooc: No, this is great! No toe-stepping at all!]

[bonescientist]

Of course. Do you foresee your absence to last long enough to warrant that?

voice [private; unhackable]

[absinthe_eyed]

No. I think you're better qualified for the job.

[dreamsofnoah]

It's the same with everything. The Network, conversations face to face, everything repeats itself over and again.

[absinthe_eyed]

No wonder you're always bored.

[dreamsofnoah]

Understanding, finally?

[absinthe_eyed]

The boredom, at least. I don't think I'll ever fully understand your means of alleviating boredom.
