There's tons to talk about, isn't there?  Curses, the Time Bomb concert--which was pretty great, by the way, and anyone who missed it should definitely go next time Curt puts on something like that--but there's something else that's been hitting a lot of people hard.

People keep leaving.

I know, not a new and exciting thing, but it never gets easier

You're really good at the listening and pretty good at the advice.

Clean slate? Besides September is a good month. Football starts in September.

[horrible_penny]

Aw... thanks, Lucy. And I don't think there's much in the way of football around here, but it's okay to celebrate the football season in spirit!

[mghtbconcussed]

It makes me sad there's no football here but I will be celebrating anyway.

[horrible_penny]

I bet you could get some of the guys to play. In a City this big, you'd think there'd be enough football fans to make at least a couple teams.

Although it's not my type of music, Curt is quite talented...

[horrible_penny]

He is! So you went? Which song was your favorite?

[hidesinrestroom]

I did.

I'm not sure, honestly... He has a lovely voice though.

[horrible_penny]

He does have a great singing voice... especially when he's not yelling lyrics or flailing around on the ground. That was kind of... different.

[hatedbyfanboys]

... You're like the perfect big sister.

[horrible_penny]

Me? [Well, duh.] I'm all for big sister-y-ness, but what do you mean?

[hatedbyfanboys]

Like... You know all the right things to say.

[horrible_penny]

Oh... thank you, Raiden. I'm not so sure about that, but points for being convincing?

Well it's nice to hear that someone else thinks it's alright to be selfish when people leave.

[horrible_penny]

It's natural, right? Wanting the people you care about to stay with you?

[adamantined]

I think so. I think it's more natural than anything.

[adamantined]

I just think most people in this place decide it's better for people to be home rather than here, for whatever reason, whether they hate being here or not. And I guess that's true in some cases, but then it's like still wishing that people were here becomes some kind of crime.

[justcautious]

[It's a little confusing, and possibly a bit too deep for Chris.] Someone leave, then?

[horrible_penny]

A few someones. Friends, friends of friends. You know how it goes.

[justcautious]

Oh aye. I'm sorry.

[horrible_penny]

It'll be fine. Can't get hung up on people who aren't here when there're plenty of people I like hanging around.
